Darlene Young

The process of buying our first home was a wonderful experience with Darlene. At first we were trying to apply for the California Dream for All program so time was of the essence. Darlene was able to make time for us on a very short notice to look at houses, even on a holiday weekend. Using her advice and experience, our first offer on a house was accepted and we closed in 3 weeks. Darlene is amazing at handling all the communication between the seller's agent, loan officers, etc. and answering any questions we had at a moment's notice. We still felt very involved in the process and never felt like we didn't know what was going on. We also received a very lovely and thoughtful housewarming gift from Darlene, it is perfect for our new home and we are so appreciative of everything she did for us throughout this process. I would not hesitate to work with Darlene again in the future.

I've worked with Darlene in the past for a rental property purchase that I made and it was a great experience. This time our home purchase was for a primary residence and working with Darlene was another great experience, as expected. She was patient and kind when it came to the buying process since this time around we had to deal with financing as well. I will definitely be working with her again on the next home purchase as well. I highly recommend working with her for any other first time home buyers.

Darlene has been my real estate agent involving 4 properties over the last 20 years. My most recent use of First Choice Real Estate and Darlene Young involved both a sale and purchase of properties. Both transactions went smoothly and were problem-free. Darlene is so great to work with. She is knowledgeable, experienced, professional, honest, and personable. When I made the decision to sell my property in Lake Forest, I immediately returned to Darlene to handle both the sale of my condo in Lake Forest and the purchase of my new home in Riverside County. She also found the property in Riverside that I eventually purchased. I would not have used any other agent for my real estate needs other than Darlene. With so much that is required to sell or buy property, Darlene handles all of it, from the paperwork to helping navigate the mortgage process as well. If the future requires another property sale or purchase, I will be using First Choice Real Estate and Darlene Young for the 5th time to accomplish that!!

Darlene was always in communication with me every day and answered every one of my calls and emails.

I write this review in complete confidence of Ms. Young's abilities as a realtor. Darlene, from start to finish provided exceptional service. Holding my financiers accountable to the deadlines and provides me a detailed checklist to help me navigate the process. She held their feet to the fire and never missed a deadline. I am a proud homeowner, because we were able to partner together and build from each other strengths. I have known Darlene for more than nine years and have witnessed nothing less than exemplary behavior. Honest, integrous, compassionate! Ms. Bennett
