Darby was an absolute pleasure to work with. She sold my home in 21 days and helped me find my perfect next home in a very competitive market. We beat our 18 offers with her creative approach and closed in less then 25 days. She looks out for her clients, works with a great team and keeps it real to manage your expectations etc. While I love my home, I know I’ll use her again in the future!
When we went to buy a home, naturally, I thought I would just handle the transaction. Not only am I a real estate attorney, but a significant part of my practice is in residential issues, helping buyers and sellers in complicated purchases or deals gone sideways. I work with agents on an almost daily basis and I have a pretty high standard when it comes to my expectations. Darby not only met, but exceeded those. I started off very skeptical of her as I often do with agents. But Darby's responsiveness and out-of-the-box strategies for handling what turned out to be a problematic escrow absolutely floored me. Darby came up with avenues to get the deal done that I frankly did not see or did not necessarily think would work. She is someone that I would call to run things by and brainstorm with on a complex transaction! They say it takes one to know one--Darby is a shrewd negotiator and advocate for her clients. She's intelligent and an absolutely tenacious bulldog. I'm proud to consider her now a professional and personal friend. And, it doesn't hurt that we now get to enjoy Sunsets in our beautiful yard thanks to her!
Darby was my agent in purchasing my home for myself and my two daughters. My girlfriend and I are not only sophisticated and experienced in real estate transactions, having bought and sold many between us, but my girlfriend is also a real estate attorney who handles residential sales and issues as a core part of her practice. Despite our considerable combined experience as buyers, there is no doubt that we really could not have gotten this deal done with anywhere near as good of an outcome without Darby. When issues came up (as they always do!), Darby had creative, out-of-the box solutions. Neither of us had ever worked with any agent who was more tenacious. We cannot say enough great things about Darby and highly recommend her to any buyer or seller.
Darby did a fantastic job in providing everything we needed to sell my apartment. She counseled us on the best time to sell, how and why to stage, the needed repairs and even provided us with contacts to do both. She even dropped everything one Saturday afternoon to come to the apartment to address emergency repairs that were needed. The process was seamless and easy (which is hard to imagine in the current market)! Our open houses were well managed, and Darby managed to get at least 70 people in the door for our first open house! She even knew most of the agents that made offers on the property. Not only did Darby help us navigate the selling process, but her real estate acumen was on point during the escrow stage of the sale. Overall, Darby's knowledge and help were invaluable to the sale of my apartment! I wouldn't do real estate in Los Angeles without her!
I was looking to purchase a new home, and asked a friend if he could recommend his realtor. He gave me Darby's name and told me if I found a house that I really wanted, Darby would make sure I got it. Needless to say, I got the house I wanted. She knows the ins and outs of the sometimes complex process of buying and knows the market well. She personally sat through the paperwork with me and explained what was important and what can wait, which was a big help since there is a lot of paperwork when buying a house. She genuinely wanted me to win this deal. When buying or selling a home, you would want Darby on your team.
My husband and I could not be happier with our home buying experience. Darby showed us this house among many others that would not have been on our radar if not for her. She could read our needs even if we couldn’t clearly articulate what we were looking for, and she helped us envision what our home would look like after a remodel. She walked us through the inspection process and is well-connected to many professionals who made the inspection and repairs process as easy as possible. My husband and I are so happy in our new home and owe it all to Darby.
Darby is extremely organized and methodical. She is also knowledgeable, she know her business inside and out.
Darby and I have been working together for years on different properties and she has always been extremely professional, well organized, and most importantly knows the laws and ensures that I am always protected. With Calle Haleigh Darby worked diligently to ensure that she worked around my busy schedule for showings. She researched the history of the home and neighborhood and was able to use that knowledge in giving in-depth descriptions to potential buyers about what living in the neighborhood would mean for their family. This house is part of HOA that has a pool and workout room that is away from the residence, so with every showing Darby would have to drive down to another location and show them the amenities. She happily drove each potential buyer to show them all that the HOA had to offer. Darby goes above and beyond to ensure that her clients are well taken care of. She does her due diligence to know the properties that she is listing, so that she can give detailed information about the neighborhood and surrounding areas so that people who are looking have invaluable information that other agents might overlook or not deem important. That is the sign of a brilliant agent, which Darby is! I would recommend Darby to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home.
Darby found us our dream home in the perfect location! This is the second time we have used Darby's expertise and again it has been a great experience. I cannot recommend her enough.
Darby is not only a fantastic agent but she became a trusted friend to us as she skillfully guided us through the hectic (and arduous) process of buying a home on the west side of LA. Always available and a relentless advocate, Darby is a wealth of knowledge about the entire buying process - from scoping neighborhoods and initial visits through inspections and the final close. We hit a few unexpected turns in our buying process and Darby's relationships with brokers, inspectors, and advisors were crucial to bringing us through our purchase successfully. We would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Darby!
Darby helped us with the purchase of a beautiful home. To enable the transaction, we needed to close within 2 weeks and Darby was able to manage all inspections flawlessly. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking to sell or buy a new home.
Darby has a keen eye for real estate and knows the market well. I am so glad she insisted that I view the property that I ultimately purchased as it is a great house and a great long-term investment! Darby made the process seamless from start to finish. She is an excellent negotiator and ensured that I got the best value for the house! If you need an agent, contact Darby Woods!
