Our search to find the right home was challenging. We had a certain price point in mind and the inventory of available properties was very minimal. Once we found our home, Darren negotiated a purchase price that was $125,000 under the asking price, a week after we were in escrow. He was incredibly diligent in setting up inspections and finding information that was crucial to our purchase. Since closing escrow, Darren and his team have continued their excellent service by handling deliveries and other tasks needed for us to move in. We are truly grateful for being able to work with Darren.

I worked with Darren and his team on a particularly challenging home search for my daughter and her husband. The budget was tight, yet they wanted to remain in Hermosa Beach. Darren went on a "mission" to find something that could work, and skillfully negotiated to get us a deal we could do. The entire process was professional and pleasant, and the hard work involved was evident. The kids ended up in a wonderful Hermosa home that has increased in value a startling amount in 5 years. As a result of this positive experience, I recently recommended Darren to a friend who was unhappy with her current realtor. Darren came through once again and they just recently closed on an amazing house in Manhattan Beach. I am usually hesitant to recommend people, but am confident in recommending Darren and his team in the South Bay area.

We have had two real estate transactions with darren and his team over the last 18 months and were continually blown away by the level of service and market expertise. Darren Knows all of LA/So Cal and we loved his passion for the Southbay but were equally impressed by his command of the Los Angeles/Hollywood area. We were renting while we decided where to move and Darren helped us locate a new place in Los Angeles after selling our house for well over asking price in Manhattan Beach! We strongly recommend using Darren and his team for all levels of Real Estae deals...both as a selling agent and the buyers agent. Amanda is on top of her game and kept us well ahead of all deadlines and eliminated all the stress. Closing for both properties was a breeze! Whether you are buying or selling - don t even think about using anyone else!!!

Darren and Amanda represented us on both the selling and the buying side in the spring of 2019. Darren and Amanda are very knowledgeable about the market in the South Bay. On the selling side, they guided us on the best marketing strategy for selling our home and did it in a very timely manner. On the buying side, they were knowledgeable regarding the community we wanted to buy in and they showed us many options that met our needs. In the end, they helped us to negotiate the best deal possible on the home we very much wanted. I felt as if they fully understood what we were looking for the whole time. They communicate, they HUSTLE and they provided us with many contacts to help ease the very stressful process of selling and buying a home. And they continue to stay in contact, checking in with you after your home has sold, asking if you continue to need anything and making sure you are happy!!! Highly recommend Darren and his team. You will not be disappointed!

We just closed the deal for our new house through Darren. He is awesome in a number of ways, 1. Knowledgeable. He breathes South Bay, down to being able to drive you by memory through any street. Or knowing the exact (invisible) line that separates North Redondo from Hermosa Beach 2. Contractor intuition and experience. He has both built houses and sold them, and it shows. He can guide you with thoughtful advice regarding house refurbishments, from who to talk to how much it would likely cost 3. Even after closing, he has been devoting hours to helping us out, for example with remodeling 4. Genuinely nice and caring. Self-explanatory, but he goes out of his way to be helpful and provide a long-term relationship. When we decide to sell our house and look for our next purchase, Darren's name would be a no-brainer As good as it comes.

My wife & I just purchased a new construction townhome in Hermosa Beach. To say the least, Darren & Amanda did a phenomenal job! Darren quickly picked up on what we were looking for and showed us several good properties. From start to finish he was 100% on it. Great local knowledge and well connected within the real-estate community. Being that we our from out of the county and this was a new construction build yet to be completed, Darren stepped up and took control to make sure all "punch list items" were completed. He does a better job than most construction managers. We have way to many other great things to say about Darren & Amanda. Simply put, we would 100% recommend that you use Darren and Amanda with your next purchase or sell.

I m glad I was able to work with Darren on the sale of my home. Prior to starting the process, I received some lowball offers from flippers and solicitations from other agents. Darren had stayed in touch with me over the years and I knew that he had consistently done business in the area. We sat down together and created a plan that best suited my situation, which was to invest a small amount of money to maximize the return on the sale. Darren had a host of trusted and vetted affiliates and he helped me manage the work done on my property, even while I was out of town. We received multiple offers over the asking price and sold within the first week. This is my most important asset, so it was crucial to have someone I trusted to get the job done.

After holding on to our first home for over 40 years, we finally accepted that it was time to sell. Daren impressed us with his comprehensive plan with multiple approaches to find an appropriate buyer. We selected a path and soon afterward we entered escrow with a well-qualified buyer. Darren and his team worked with us to ensure that we understood all aspects of the documents, disclosures, and processes to smoothly move through the escrow process. He was always very responsive to our inquiries and proactively communicated to keep us informed on the progress. Darren made the entire experience proceed very smoothly and as stress-free as could be expected while selling our original home. I highly recommend Darren for his professionalism, expertise, market knowledge and exceptional service. It was a pleasure working with him and his team. Thanks to his team s efforts and dedication we achieved a successful sale and are very happy with the outcome.

When I got a job offer out of state and needed to sell our Redondo Beach home , Darren and his team were ready to help! He coordinated everything so we could focus on a smooth transition to our next home. His experience and unique approach really helped. The best part is we were able to get well over our asking price and we couldn't be happier! I definitely recommend working with Darren if you are selling your home in the South Bay.

We have known Darren for several years and we trusted that he would do a good job. When it came time to sell, we decided to go through the process without putting a lot of money into the home to prepare it for sale. He and his team did a great job and kept me in the loop through the entire process, which gave me clarity and peace of mind. The best part was getting $50k more than what I had asked for. Overall, working with Darren and his team was an extremely positive experience.

Darren has been an incredible guide for me and my husband over the past decade, helping us buy our very first homes through so many different chapters from returning after international moves to, most recently, finding the perfect place for our young family to raise our kids. He s genuine, trustworthy, and always goes above and beyond to make the process easy. Darren s incredible team, especially Iván, is just as dedicated. They are always available for last-minute showings and ready to answer every question. As a South Bay husband and dad, Darren truly understands this community and what makes a house feel like home. We couldn t recommend him and his team more highly!

Darren was amazing....A+ experience. Darren and his team managed the entirety of our home sale while we were out of town. Selling a home can be stressful enough but Darren took it all on with a smile and made it feel easy. From fixes to staging to being sold, every step was well communicated thoughtful and exactly what we needed. His expertise in our market turned out to be that extra bit of magic that pulled it all together. We can't thank him enough for making the process a pleasure.

Wow. From first contact to close of sale, Darren was consistently kind, patient, warm, friendly and professional. His ability to think creatively and to ask for what might have seemed impossible led to an outcome that exceeded my expectation. Iván was also helpful and accessible. Everyone associated with him and this transaction had the same relaxed but efficient approach. I m amazed by how seamlessly this sale went and I would recommend him to anyone.

Darren worked with us to sell our house through a unique situation and he and his team helped us to relax during a stressful time. He has great vision and creativity using digital imagery to show potential upgrades that could be done. He oversaw contractors to make Inexpensive improvements that made a big difference. He communicated with us throughout the entire process and managed to make the deal cross the finish line through a variety of contingencies and hurdles. His entire team was very professional and knowledgeable but personable at the same time.

I highly recommend Darren to anyone in need of help searching for a home. Darren was with us and had our back every step of the way and was hugely responsible for making our first home purchase a positive experience. Darren and Iván could not have been more responsive and willing to go above and beyond from our first interaction all the way through closing. Darren is an amazing agent, and even better person, and I am extremely grateful for everything he has done for us. 10/10 experience!

I have worked with Darren over the years to lease my rental properties. Darren has consistently secured wonderful tenants that stayed for several years. It's so nice to be able to have that stability and security while not having to worry about constant turnover. Thanks to Darren and his team, I am able to give the green light and feel confident that they will take care of my needs. I highly recommend them!

This was our second time working with Darren and his incredible team, and once again, they exceeded our expectations! With a tight timeline and living over seven hours away, we needed a reliable partner to help sell our home quickly. Darren rose to the challenge, navigating unexpected hurdles with swift and thoughtful solutions. When it came to moving an entire house full of furniture within a short window, Darren and his team stepped up, handling everything with professionalism and efficiency. Their dedication and expertise made the process seamless, and we wouldn t hesitate to work with them for a third time!

Selling my home from across the country felt was a daunting task, especially with tenants in place and the home needing extensive work, but Darren and his team made the process seamless. Their reliability and professionalism gave me complete peace of mind. From coordinating with the tenants to scheduling contractors and handling everything on-site, they went above and beyond to ensure the sale went smoothly. They worked tirelessly to attract 18 offers, guiding me through each one and ultimately accepting an offer that was $205K over my asking price!! I couldn t have asked for better support!

Darren stepped up for us during an incredibly challenging time for our family and helped us find a home. Despite the immense competition, he remained persistent and got us to the point where we can finally settle and begin our new lives in the South Bay. We highly recommend others to utilize Darren and his team's services!

I had the pleasure of working with Darren and his team while selling my home of 27 years. Darren and Iván were incredibly hands-on and helpful like no other team I ve experienced.

Darren is an excellent communicator, is accessible, and available even for the smallest questions or concerns. I cannot recommend Darren enough!
