Kris and Kim Darney: Meet Our Raving Fans [Testimonials]
We are so blessed to have wonderful families and friends as REALTORS®. Sometimes we just have to say WOW! The families we’ve come to know and love through our time in real estate is the most rewarding part of our careers. We’re hired by young couples just starting out. They call us back in a few years to help them sell that home so they can purchase a larger home for their expected children. They refer us to their family and friends. It’s such a Blessing.
We love our Raving Fans that God has Blessed us with each and every day.
Thank you’ll so much!
“MY HUSBAND AND I HIRED THE DARNEY’S TO LIST OUR HOME AND SELL IT FOR US UNDER THE SHORTSALE GUIDELINES.THEY WERE ALWAYS PROFESSIONAL AND CONSIDERATE DURING THE WHOLE PROCESS. THEY WORKED CONSISTENTLY ON THE PROJECT FOR US AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL THE WHOLE TRANSACTION WAS DONE. IF IT HADN’T OF BEEN FOR THEM, WE SURELY WOULD HAVE BEEN FORECLOSED ON.. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM FOR THEIR GREAT SERVICES THEY PROVIDE.”
“I would say the one big thing working through the Sort Sale process with you guys have great communication. Any time I emailed, called etc you two got back to me right away.Usually folks short sale their house cause they are in some kind of financial hardship. You two made a stressful time much easier by taking out so much leg work out of the sellers hands…. was nice that all i really had to do is sign documents and the rest you two handled behind the scenes.”
Not only did you and your husband help me in a short sale, you were able to find me a beautiful home to rent. Not only are both of you hard working but compassionate in helping the average person out.Both of you led me through the steps of the short sale with explanations of the process.”
Huge thanks to Kris and Kim on our transaction in Anaheim and two in Riverside. Their expertise and follow through were were key in getting the job done. I highly recommend Kris and Kim for your next real estate deal!
I hired Kris & Kim to handle my short sale transaction about 3 1/2 years ago. Not only did they do their job well, they always treated me like I was their top priority. I was a “small potatoes ” client, but they treated me like I was a million dollar deal. They answered my calls, questions & concerns in a very quick time frame. I highly recommend these “bookends”!
Kim & Kris have been absolute lifesavers to our family – I can’t sing their praises enough! The Darney’s came highly recommended by a dear friend and I am so thankful I had the opportunity to work with them on the purchase of our new home. From our initial meeting all the way through the final closing date, they worked tirelessly on our behalf to get us into our dream home. Once they knew our criteria and style after our first meeting, they quickly helped us to identify several homes that could be fit for our family.
They were patient with us through our indecisiveness and we knew they was never acting in a self-interested manner. Kim & Kris kept us informed every step of the way and was so responsive with our many questions. They somehow turned a very stressful and complex process into a positive experience that allowed us to get into our dream home. We know it would never be possible without the hard work, time and energy that both of them put into the transaction. We can’t thank you enough for everything!
Kris and Kim helped us buy our new house and sell our old one. We could not be happier with them. They treats you as if you are her most important client even though I am sure she had other clients selling more expensive homes. We followed her advice on how to prepare our home to be sold and had multiple offers on our house three days after it went on the market even though we lived in a neighborhood where most houses took months to sell. We took a chance choosing Kris and Kim just off of their Zillow rating, but we are very glad we did.
Although we are family, sometimes that can be a tricky situation when it comes to buying and selling a home. Kris and Kim were always very professional and I know they go above and beyond for all their clients, not just family. I had recommended them to extended family members on three different occasions prior to getting the chance to have them buy and sell for us.
All transactions went very well and everyone got the homes they really wanted. I know them on a personal level and they are truly great people! Anytime anyone mentions moving, I always highly recommend them! They will be to most helpful realtors you will ever work with and in the end, you’ll be very glad you did.
