Hi....I'm Darren and I had no Idea on what to expect when we finally decided to sell our house of 11 years.....with having such a bad experience( with a realtor) on the purchase of our house I was very uneasy with what was to happen on the sale.......we found Darin through friends and asked him to come tell us what he could do for us.....right of the bat Darin was nothing but professional .......honest and upfront from the start with telling us what we should list for and not putting a number out there to woooooo us.......he gave us pointers on what was needed to make the sale of the house go smoothly.........we listened and after the realtor sign went in our front yard(5:30 am Monday morning) we had 4 showings for the next day...........by Wednesday we were walking out of his office and had full asking price from 2 offers.....needless to say later that night the people pulled their offer because they didn't see some power lines behind our house ........this didn't slow Darren down one bit .....he proceeded to the busiest open house he has ever had (from what he told us any way) and had our house sold the following day for more than asking price......so yes thank you who ever you are for pulling your offer (people who we don't know).........Darin proceeded to help me find a place for myself .......and he didn't change his ways.......from bringing me box's to pack my house ,to checking in almost every other day........and also to bringing pizza to my new place on move in day........I have nothing but good things to say about this young man and can't thank him enough.........I consider Darin as a friend who was from the start nothing but honest and professional........he did more than what was expected and for that I thank him......... Thank You Darin Darren Kew read more

We're first time homebuyers, and the thought of entrusting someone with the biggest purchase of our lives was an incredibly daunting decision. Our fears and trepidation were soon eased when we decided to use Darin as our realtor. Darin was meticulous and professional in his approach, but also personable and friendly. His organic nature and refreshing candour earned our trust soon after our first meeting. Darin left no stone unturned and was thorough in our induction to the realm of real-estate and property purchasing. His work rate was admirable, and he made every effort to be available to us along every step of the way. Darin found us a very nice home, well within our expected time scale and walked us through the process, introducing us to other connected professionals. He remained accessible throughout our purchase, and we'd like to express our extreme gratitude for such a service. Darin Germyn exceeded our expectations, and ensured our first purchase went as smoothly as possible. We would absolutely recommend Darin to any prospective home buyers. read more

Darin helped my wife and I sell our townhouse in what had proven to be a very challenging market for us. Darin is a very positive and enthusiastic professional who clearly prides himself on a job well done. In addition to being knowledgeable, Darin is very "tech savvy" and utilizes every available avenue to market your place as well as keep you informed of all the latest news in a dynamic industry. We felt we were in very good hands having Darin looking after our place, and were blown away by the "extras" that he provided... Summer-time customer appreciation BBQ's at his own house, Fall events for the family at the pumpkin patch, and great little "incentive contracts" with the kids to encourage them to make their beds and help keep the place looking sharp but more importantly, keep the kids involved and engaged in what could be a difficult transition. Working with Darin has been a positive experience for our family and we would encourage anyone looking for a real-estate professional to give him a call. read more

Neither my fiance or myself were first time home buyers, but it had been a number of years since either one of us had purchased a home. Darin was great at bringing us up to speed on things we needed to know about buying a house in today's market. We found a home to make an offer on just prior to myself leaving for a trip to Europe. Not the best timing to say the least. Daring was fabulous at helping guide my fiance through the buying process while I was gone. He helped her book a home inspection and look over the strata meeting minutes. He kept me in the loop while I was gone, but it was difficult for me to stay connected while away. I didn't have to worry though as Darin looked after everything and made sure my fiance was on top of the tasks that needed to be completed. I would highly recommend Darin to any of my family members, friends and colleagues. He is professional, knowledgable, and organized. He made our home buying experience pleasurable and stress free! read more

The idea of dealing with new realtor was uneasy, but after meeting with Darin and talking with him and watching and listening to his presentation we knew he was going to be the one we needed to make this process work and be comfortable for us. He is very professional, has lots of new and innovative ideas and most importantly is personal. We will definately refer him to anyone we know that is looking for the best realtor around!! Our house sold in less than two weeks with a limited amount of disruption to our daily lives. All of our questions and concerns were quickly addressed as well as things we hadn't even thought of. Thanks to Darin we got top dollar for our house and did very well on our new purchase! If you are looking for someone who is up on all the newest techniques in buying and selling in this changing market this is your realtor. Darin is well educated and uses every tool available to make your buy/sell an exciting and stress free experience. read more

6 years ago we bought our first house with Darin. We were so impressed with his service that when we decided to sell the house we did not hesitate to have him again as our real estate agent. Once again, Darin did not disappoint. Selling a house, as most know, is quite stressful. Darin made the whole process as smooth as possible for us. His vast knowledge, not only of the market, of real estate but everything you can think of when selling/buying a house is incredible. All the resources he has at his disposition and his dedication to his clients is remarkable. Darin even took the time to involve our children in the process. He even continues to have contact with his clients after the sale is done. He excels with his "after care". He is transparent and consistent in his communication. We just sold our house and we are thrilled. Once again Darin exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Darin to anyone who intends on buying or selling their house. read more

We recently sold our South Surrey home and couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, Darin exceeded every expectation we had for a realtor. His professionalism, market expertise, and commitment to our success were evident every step of the way. Darin took the time to explain the process, answered all of our questions promptly, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel effortless. Thanks to his guidance, strong marketing, and negotiation skills, our home sold quickly and for a result we were thrilled with. We always felt like we were their top priority, and that level of service is hard to find. We would confidently recommend Darin and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell in South Surrey, White Rock or lower mainland. If you want a realtor who is knowledgeable, responsive, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in your success, look no further. Five stars all the way! read more

The "Gretzky" of realtors! That's what comes to mind when I think of the experience I've had with Darin; he's not just incrementally better than any other realtor I've dealt with. . .he's a quantum leap better! He greatly exceeded my expectations in terms of his enthusiasm (he obviously loves being a realtor), and his level of concern to ensure his clients are kept well informed every step of the way. But what really impressed me were the enhanced features of his service: (1) his absolute mastery of statistics related to the local housing market; (2) his utilization of "social media" as a tool to sell our condo; (3) he didn't just take photos of our place, but went so far as producing a video; and (4) through the magic of video-editing showed our recently emptied patio as fully furnished with gas BBQ, lounging chairs, etc. Yes, the "Gretzky" of realtors. . .on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, I would give him a TEN! read more

We are first time home buyers and were completely oblivious to the process of real estate. We had a small budget with big expectations and Darin still tried to find us a great home for our small budget. Throughout the process he answered questions we had and every time we met to discuss properties or do viewings we shared friendly banter and the process felt very personal and considerate. When it came to making an low offer on a house we had a difference of opinion. Even though this was against his own comfort zone he still supported us and took the leap of faith. He came up with a great plan for negotiation with the other realtor and without him we would have not gotten our first home. We were also very impressed with his use of technology and his knowledge of negotiating. We will recommend him to anyone we know who needs a realtor, and when the time comes, work with him again in future. read more

Darin Germyn made the selling of my home a quick and painless process. Everything was in line with his sales statistics and my home was sold in less than 30 days from hitting MLS! Darin was clear about what I needed to do for him and to my home to get it sold. I followed his direction and advice and sure enough, it happened faster than I thought. The on-line exposure he uses is very comprehensive and he keeps it dynamic, changing things in response to interest. His communication is fantastic. He always got back to me and was willing to talk and reassure me when I needed it. There is absolutely no question that I will recommend him to anyone looking for a Realtor and will enlist him for the purchase of my next home. Darin definitely wants to sell your home for the best possible price and everything he does reflects that. read more

Darin recently helped us sell our condo in a 12 days, and over asking. His sense of timing, great photography, and knowledge of the market are top notch. Darin is a master of the client experience. Sending videos leading up to listing was very helpful. We knew exactly what to expect during the whole process which alleviated any stress of selling with young children. He also helped up buy our new town home. Making himself available to see homes we had interest in. His assistant Adam sent us information on schools in the catchment of our new home right after we had an approved offer which was very helpful! We would with out a doubt use Darin again. He really worked hard for us. His approachable nature made him wonderful to work with. The whole experience was seamless. Phil, Christina & Kids read more

After years of saving we were finally ready to start looking for our first home. My husband and I have both known Darin for many years so there was no question who we would work with when it came to buying a house. It was a long process, as we looked at houses narrowing down the specifics of what we wanted. Darin was awesome! He really listened to our comments and had such great feedback. He was very patient with us and was so thorough when explaining everything to us. Once we found "the one" Darin was extremely professional and knowledgeable when it came to making an offer and removing the subjects. He was so informative and just made it so easy! I have referred Darin many times in the past and will absolutely continue to refer his exceptional Real Estate Service. Thank you Darin! read more

After 40 years in the same home, we decided that it was time to re-locate. In the past Darin has helped my mother with the sale of her condo and the purchase of another, so of course we contacted Darin. His thorough, take charge approach impressed us. We wanted a particular piece of property that was not quite on the market, 6 months later Darin made it happen. He was relentless in this and even impressed the developer's sales staff. When it came to listing our home for sale, he knew exactly what needed to be done and took charge with a very positive, professional approach. The video and still photos of our home was so awesome even our family and friends were impressed. He has a formula that works very well. Thank-you Darin for making this huge undertaking less stressful for us. read more

I just bought my first property with Darin, and he was amazing! We started the buying process before Covid-19 and we were still able to close on my property despite the multiple hurdles put in place. Darin was instrumental in my stress relief. As a first time home buyer I didn't have a clue what the whole process would look like, and Darin and his team guided me through so that I felt confident with what to expect. And whenever I did encounter a speed bump with either my mortgage broker, or getting a recommendation for a law firm or insurance company, Darin was there to call whoever needed to be called and get whatever needed to get done, DONE! So thank you Darin, I will definitely recommend you to anyone else I know who is looking to buy a property in the lower mainland. read more

Darin helped my wife and I buy our first home together. Since we had no idea what we were doing Darin took the time to walk us through the process and explain to us all the different things we should be keeping an eye out for. Even though my wife and I wanted different things initially, he did a great job listening to what was important to both of us in finding potential homes. We eventually settled on a newly built townhouse, and even though it got delayed by the developers multiple times, Darin kept on top of things throughout, keeping us updated of the situation. Throughout the whole process Darin was very professional and friendly, and we were always confident he had our best interests in mind. We would definitely recommend him to anyone we know! read more

Darin and his team exceeded our expectations on both the selling and buying sides. In a slow market, they quickly listed and effectively marketed our condo, securing a qualified buyer and an offer within just 3 weeks. Darin provided clear insight into market conditions, set realistic expectations, and negotiated a firm deal that left us feeling confident and successful as sellers. On the buying side, Darin was incredibly responsive, helping us view homes quickly and focus on what truly mattered versus what could be changed. Even while out of town, he supported us every step of the way in purchasing our first detached home. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and professional--we highly recommend Darin and his team. read more

Darin is a true professional, organized, thorough and and a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is considering selling or purchasing a property. Darin was able to alleviate a lot of my stress during the selling of my property and the purchase of a new property by always keeping in close contact with my by phone, text or email. I always felt extremely well represented in Darin's care and he was always there to offer advice when needed. Darin covered all the bases when presenting my property for sale and made the process much more seamless than I could have ever imagined. I would definitely use Darin in the future for any realty needs. read more

Working with Darin was such a great experience for myself and my family! He explained everything we needed to know so we didn't have any unexpected surprises, he was friendly and very approachable. He was great with my kids as well and gave them a little gift for keeping their room clean during our selling period! Darin had some unique techniques for negotiating the purchase of our new house and answered any questions we had about subjects, etc. He continued to help us all the way until moving day by sending us a list of things to do. He was also able to recommend a great mortgage broker and lawyer. We would highly recommend Darin to anyone! read more

We have nothing but great things to say about our realtor. From the get go Darin made us feel comfortable with the significant milestone of buying our first home. A modest condo unit was what we were in the market for, and no matter what our budget was we felt like we were a top priority to Darin throughout the entire experience. With his help we were able to find a home that we love and was well suited to our needs, our budget, and our time frame. He not only demonstrated professionalism, but a genuine passion for his career and business. We were highly impressed and will certainly take advantage of his services in the future. read more
