-
“I didn’t have to do a thing - all was handled online and by phone. Kris and Kimberlee are absolutely the best at what they do.”
-
“I worked with a different realty company on a previous sale and they did not compare to Darney. Darney is a 10...11 on our scale. Kris & Kim were so professional and easy to work with. They recommended things but let us make the final decisions on everything. Every seller has a different situation, Kris and Kim listened to our situation and gave us great advice and worked with us. Our sale was a little nail biting but the Darney's were in control of the entire sale. They were super involved and made it happen! You will never go wrong choosing Darney Realty. We were BLESSED having them as our Realtors.”
-
“Kris and Kim did and A+ job selling our rental property. They were always available to show the property and hosted many open houses on our behalf. There isn't anything to possibly complain about. Professional and helpful, the Darneys treated our sale like it was one of their own properties. I appreciate their honesty and advice in timing and price. I highly recommend them.”
-
“Kris and Kim were amazing. They kept their promises. They were quick to respond . They knew their stuff. And they sold our home in record time. Highly recommend them.”
-
“Kim and Chris Darney were always available to answer questions you might have. They were very easy to talk to. We would recommend them to family and friends.”
-
“From the moment I first Met Kris and Kim I Knew they were the ones to List my Dad's home. They laid out what they were going to do to market our home and it went above and beyond what we expected. Because of the fantastic job they did we got an offer on the 6th day it was listed. I truly believe if we had gone with another agent it would have taken months to sell. I have never seen two people more dedicated than Kris and Kim Darney they truly take pride in what they do. They were always available if I had any questions and kept in contact with us. I can't imagine why anybody would not want them as their selling agents. If anybody is considering selling their home they are the ones to call you will not be disappointed. Debbie Hunter, California”

“It was the easiest real estate transaction i have ever experienced. They took care of absolutely everything ( of course, there are things the seller only must produce) that they possibly could and made my life easy.
