Client Testimonials

Darlene is someone you need to have on your side when buying a house. She is extremely thorough, honest, and helpful. Of all the realtors I have worked with, she is by far the best and works to find what is best for you. I was buying from out of the state and she made multiple trips out to the house to make sure everything was in order and answered all my questions promptly and honestly. Most realtors just want to make a commission, but Darlene wants to make sure you find the perfect home for you. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase and will definitely use her again when I need to sell.

Darlene was relentless and diligent in my home purchase. She worked tirelessly to see our transaction through fruition. She is the real estate professional you need when going to battle in this crazy market of bay area real estate. Professional and detail oriented!

My husband and I highly recommend Darlene Lizotte as an agent. We worked with her on the sale of our condo in Oakland and were very happy with the outcome. Darlene pulled all stops to help us get the condo ready fast and successfully market it. She made the process easy and we knew we were in good hands.

Darlene found me by way of mail; she had a client that wanted to buy in my neighborhood. For fun, I gave her a call to see if she really had a buyer, but I was also in the market and was in need of representation. I had been ghosted by KB Homes for 6 months (even after submitting all of my financials and are pre-approved by my lender). To say that I have been feeling frustrated with how quickly I'm being priced out of the Bay, the only place I call home, would be an understatement. After discussing my values and what's important to me, Darlene showed me the property I would soon be calling "home." Despite the price tag, I kept going back to it. Everyone on her team has been incredibly helpful as well, especially when my previous lender and home insurance company decided to drop the ball in such a critical time-sensitive moment. Not only is she fun to work with, but her professionalism and calm demeanor in a would-be stressful time made the home-buying process that much smoother. Did I mention that we listed my first home and accepted an offer within 5 days above asking?! I will definitely continue referring and using Darlene and team. They are pretty EPIC!!

Buying a home is challenging but Darlene was our secret weapon. At all times she was motivational, positive and honest. Darlene always seemed to anticipate our needs. If we were feeling overwhelmed she would give us space and reassure us about any of our concerns. We felt prioritized, she had a sincere interest in our wants and needs but she was also able to see beyond that and opened our minds to some creative ideas, home and locations. She was a true partner in this process, super communicative, knowledgable and has an outstanding network of resources. Thank you for introducing us to our home! Thank you for your professionalism and transparency, your kindness, levity and patience. (I know I worked the last one hard!) HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I am confident that I got the best possible deal with both my sale and purchase transactions. I was very fortunate to have Darlene on my side and I can't recommend her enough!
