Why Hire an Average Agent When You Can Have an Insider?

You deserve more than a part-time hobbyist; you deserve a professional who treats your home purchase with the high-stakes precision it requires. With 30 years of experience and hundreds of personal investment flips under my belt, I provide a level of service that is, quite simply, anything but average. My goal is for every client to walk away feeling superbly cared for, expertly guided, and financially ahead.

The Power of 4-for-1: Your Dedicated Support Team

When you hire me, you don’t just get an agent—you get a high-performance team. With two full-time assistants and other support agents, we ensure no detail is missed, and no message goes unanswered. This structure allows us to:

  • Respond in real-time while other agents are stuck in meetings.

  • Scour the market daily for unique opportunities before they go public.

  • Provide a white-glove experience from the first showing to the final closing.

The Investor’s Edge: Seeing What Others Miss

Most agents can show you a house; I show you the potential. My background in flipping hundreds of homes gives you a massive competitive advantage:

  • Construction IQ: I can provide ballpark figures on repairs, basement additions, or kitchen updates on the spot. I know the difference between a "deal-breaker" and an easy fix.

  • The "Gold List": You get instant access to my private arsenal of vetted plumbers, lenders, and contractors who provide priority service to my clients.

  • Off-Market Access: I am constantly in the "trenches" with investors, estates, and foreclosures. I often find homes for my clients that aren't even on the public radar. Take a look at some here!

Aggressive Negotiation & Savvy Strategy

In a competitive market, being "nice" isn't enough. You need an aggressive, savvy advocate who knows how to win:

  • The 5-Step System: We use a proven strategy to ensure your offer stands out and gets accepted without overpaying.

  • Creative Offer Engineering: I utilize sophisticated tactics to optimize your chances of success while maintaining the essential contingencies you need.

  • Master Negotiator: If there is money to be saved or a better term to be had, I will find it. I negotiate inspections, appliances, and repairs with the authority of someone who has done this hundreds of times for his own bottom line.

Superb Service, Start to Finish

I am deeply client-driven. I attend every inspection and every closing. I ignore "volume" and focus on you. Whether it’s providing quotes on utility companies or solving a title issue behind the scenes without ever stressing you out, I am in your corner.

I even take it a step further: I personally pray for each of my clients every week—asking that you find a home that brings you peace and that the process remains an exciting, enjoyable journey.

My firms have tens of millions of dollars in annual revenues, with one of them being nationally and internationally recognized twice by Inc. Magazine.  My business has been people.  Recognizing talents, strengths, weaknesses, and abilities, to create business and client success is my specialty.  So much so, that my business, my employees, and my income depends on "getting that right".  Darrell makes the top of my list.  I recognize qualities in Darrell that I look for in my businesses and value in friends.  He is rock solid.  Darrell is quick in assessing opportunities and situations.  He is wise, connected, smart, quick-witted, and quick to offer help and share experiences that aids in making business decisions.  He is business-savvy in the real estate industry, and combined with his deep integrity, he quickly becomes a trusted resource.  He steps up to the plate to get things done.  Those traits and his large body of professional and industry experiences afford Darrell a great perspective and toolkit for handling situations, scenarios, and transactions of all sizes and urgency.  I simply cannot say enough in my recommendation of Darrell. - Linda C.
