Testimonials

"on the ball!!... The best part about working with you was how quickly you got back to me. Other agents I talked to didn't take me seriously and you took me right out and showed me places. Never judge a book by it's cover... I would recommend you to others because I felt like you were honest and hard working. You got the deal done. I don't think I would have been able to get the condo I did with another agent because they may not have hopped on it right away.... Thanks for a great buying experience."
Andrew - Buyer Tue May 8, 2007

"Great job on the virtual tour and your listings. I'd want you to be my Realtor, if I wasn't one!! ...Thanks again!"
Tammy - Realtor Sun Jul 8, 2007

"You are a marketing genius! Now don't let this go to your head, but in all of my 10 years in the construction industry I have NEVER seen a Realtor work as hard as you do."
Russell & Mindy - Sellers Sun Mar 25, 2007

"(Brent) A number of things stand out. I liked that you were up front about disclosing everything you knew... I really liked that you went to bat for us over everything. When I called with a request or question you always responded promptly and usually took care of it before calling back. I liked that. Also, the good humor you brought even to tense situations was much needed… To play into (your) motto our experience was excellent! --- (Jana) (We liked best) willingness to do what we needed you to, your availability, your bravery in the face of the Ivory monster, and the fact that you reminded us to pray about our decisions :)… you definitely give the feeling that you are going for "excellence" ... it seems to be part of your personality and work ethic. good job! we love our house ... thanks for everything! I'll make you a pie in my lovely kitchen!"
Brent & Jana - Buyers Tue Sep 25, 2007

"You were easily accessible and sold my home! : )! I thought you were very professional and passionate about your job. Darin, you're a very personable, likable, professional man. I got a sense of someone willing to work hard and provide great service for your clients. I had a positive experience working with you and would have no problem recommending you in the future. Thanks again for everything!"

"On the ball, accessible, quick to get back with answers. Of course (I would recommend you to others), fair, honest, put up with my stubbornness... movie gift cards are nice too! We were more than pleased with the transaction... it was great, would do it the same all over again."
Kyle & Hailey - Sellers/Buyers Thu Nov 15, 2007

"Great deal! I know you will get it done and I knew that the minute we spoke. Hey, you may want to make some extra cash for yourself on the side and teach some of these other realtors how to do a short sale because you seem to be the only person in your area that knows how (funny) but true. I will submit your info to our reo dept as well. I think we can sure use you."
Montease - Wells Fargo Negotiator, Borrower Counseling Services Tue Jan 8

Does it pay to have a buyers agent?

Asked Fri Dec 21 2007, 13:01 by Chuck - 22314 - Home Buying - 17 answers

Darin Southam answered:

A good buyer's agent, (not your aunt or uncle) someone who has business because they are good at what they do, can save you thousands more than you would ever save without them. A good deal is always based on perception. The house you felt you got a good deal on wouldn't be a good deal any more if you know that one closed for less a week before you closed on yours. Information is power and unless you can quite your job and dedicate some full time attention to searching for and closing on a home, you should ask for the assistance of a Savvy Buyers Agent in your area. Pick up the phone and interview a few... you will know within minutes of the conversation if they know what they are doing and talking about. All the best. - Thu May 8 2008, 13:31

How do I "Interview" a buyer's agent?

Asked Thu Dec 27 2007, 06:18 by Chuck - 22314 - Home Buying - 11 answers

Darin Southam answered:

Reputation, Responsiveness, Knowledge of Contracts, & Current market conditions. Talk to their past clients and get it from the horse's mouth - :-). - Thu May 8 2008, 13:26

Condo or Townhome???

Asked Sat Dec 29 2007, 19:15 by Chuck - 22314 - Home Buying - 9 answers

Darin Southam answered:

Condos are all the same, a beast to sell in a buyers market. Townhomes generally have more variety. - Thu May 8 2008, 13:24

Townhome, unless you are buying for rental investment later. - Thu May 8 2008, 13:23

Let's try something different... Buyers and sellers, what qualities are you looking for in an agent?

Asked Wed Feb 20 2008, 07:26 by Rob Kennedy - Alexandria - Home Selling - 3 answers

Darin Southam answered:

Reputation, Resonsiveness, Knowlege of local market conditions, knowledge of contracts, 100% commitment to you as the client and YOUR best interests. - Thu May 8 2008, 13:21

When will house prices start to appreciate again?

Asked Wed Apr 9 2008, 12:57 by Firsttimer - Alexandria - Market Conditions - 57 answers

Darin Southam answered:

Develop a relationship with a savvy Realtor in your area and get on their mailing list so you can watch the market. As long as you hold the property for a few years you will make money on it for sure. There is no crystal ball, unfortunately, that tells us when the bottom of the market or the top of the market will hit... the only thing we have are past cycles to looks at and in any case, holding a property for 5-10 years before selling is always a good investment. - Thu May 8 2008, 13:15
