This is my second time working with Darlene and she is absolutely wonderful! Extremely helpful and always quick to reply and get things done as soon as possible. She knows the ins and outs of home buying and you can tell she’s very experienced. She went out of her way to help us, working around our busy schedule to help us find our dream home. We couldn’t be happier, and we could not have done it without Darlene’s amazing help!

If you are looking for an exceptional Real Estate agent to help you sell your existing home, or buy a new home, I would highly recommend Darlene Stinson. We recently sold a home which had some complexities. Darlene handled them head on with her years of expertise. We knew we were in a changing market, and Darlene kept us apprised of all of our options along the way. With her staging and decorating skills, she made this older home look fantastic, and open the minds of any buyers to the potential of making this their home. So, if you are looking for a caring, consumate professional . . . Darlene Stinson is your agent.

We recently sold our home in Costa Mesa and we had the good fortune to have Darlene as our agent. Our house sold quickly due to, what I believe , Darlene's work ethic. She is super pro active. She was very communicative with us, helped us stage our home for sale, and answered all our questions. Also, very likable person.

Darlene did a fantastic job selling my dad's condo on a short timeframe while still ensuring that he got top dollar for it. She obviously knows the industry extremely well and was really patient and thorough helping us navigate the ins and outs of selling property while making sure he got the best deal possible (and that the buyer was happy too)! She knew exactly who to target and how given the property's location and condition, and knew how to adjust or pivot when any issues came up. There is absolutely no way he would have gotten even close to what he sold it for without her guidance. Not only that, but she is the utmost professional, has the highest integrity, and was an absolute pleasure to work with! Whether you are buying or selling, I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Darlene, I want to thank you for all the hard work and effort that you put into finding a property for myself and Mary. You went above and beyond with all your suggestions and actions in helping put us in the best position possible. I have not worked with anyone in the real estate industry that was so diligent and forward thinking in to assist us in our search. Your responsiveness and attention to details are amazing. I will be recommending you to my family and friends that need realtor services.

After careful consideration, my fiancé and I picked Darlene to be our realtor for the sale of our condo and to purchase a new house. Two months later, we have our condo sold, we are the owners of a new house and I don't think we could have made a better choice.She constantly went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable when other people were in our house. She was always there when we couldn't be and always followed our requests. she made sure the upstairs closet stayed closed, but the downstairs closets were always slightly open (our cats hide in there), she made sure both bathroom doors were left open (so our older cat couldn't "corner" our younger one in the bathroom), and she made sure all surfaces that were touched got a wipe down with disinfectant (keeping the Rona' away).When it came to purchasing, she kept our "must haves" in mind (one of which was a room large enough for a pool table which needs to be about 20x15). She even brought a tape measure to each house and helped me measure, lol. She also was quick to point out any "concerns". Things that most people wouldn't take into consideration (unless they were an insurance company or general contractor). There was one particular instance where her thoroughness potentially saved us from walking into a deep can of worms.If you're in the market for a realtor, I can't imagine a better choice (and my fiancé’s picky, lol).

We have had the pleasure working with Darlene for a decade now. She helped us with four transactions over those years. Darlene helped us buy our first home ten years ago, she also helped my parents sell their home and most recently she helped us sell our townhome and find us a beautiful home in Lake Forest, CA. We have some unique living requirements because of our daughter's special needs, which include wheelchair accessible entrance, open floor plan, a bedroom and a full bathroom on the main floor. Because of these requirements, the availability of houses that match those criteria's and the limited housing inventory on the market it was virtually impossible to find a suitable home in the neighborhoods we wanted to live in. We faced a similar situation the first time around, except it was a little more complicated this time. Darlene got the sellers to agree to us buying their place with the contingency that we sell our house first. The sellers gave us 21 days to list the house and sell it in that time. Needless to say, Darlene pulled it off and was able to coordinate three escrows in parallel so they all could close concurrently. In both instances she came through and got us into our dream home. It's very rare to find such a dedicated, hardworking professional like Darlene that goes above and beyond in helping you with your real-estate needs. She would literally show up on the weekend and pressure wash the brick walkway or plant some flowers by the front entry way to make it more inviting. Little attention to detail like that go a long way in getting you top dollar for your home. Darlene is amazing to work with, she is very personable, friendly and genuinely a fantastic person. We highly recommend Darlene and will be working with her in the future. The Pozgaj Family

Darlene what an amazing woman you are. We are so blessed to have you as our Relator. You are so patient and always kept us updated with new listings. What amazes me is that no matter what time of the day you had the time to show us homes on sale. My husband and i couldn't believe you were even available at 8pm to show us what is now our beautiful home. You never gave up on us 3 years always letting us know what was available, information on the property. You went out of your way to find us what we were looking for high ceilings. You kept us informed of everything, helped us with all documents. You were involved in everything we needed to get our home . Made sure the seller did everything he needed to do so we can have one worry less. You gave us a peace of mind and made us feel like we are family on how you took care of us. Always with an awesome attitude, we are so Thankful for everything.
