My husband and I had an amazing experience purchasing our first home with Darby as our realtor. She was always so organized and extremely knowledgeable. She was never just about the sale, but more about making sure we found the perfect home and provided honest feedback the entire time. Darby was instrumental in our offer being accepted over the other competitive offers, she made this process fun and easy, even in this market. We would recommend her to friends and family.

Darby came into our first meeting with quite a few comparable houses in the area. She gave us ideas of what we could do to upgrade our house. She gave recommendations on what we didn't want to see put in the final contract and what needed little changes. The pictures of our house and the packet for possible buyers were fantastic. Darby answered all our questions in detail and kept us up on the process and what to expect. She was available whenever we needed to talk to her, and dealt with my husband's apprehensions right away and in a very professional manner. I have already recommended her to some people I work with and friends. Darby is a top-notch realtor.

I initially contacted Darby because of the multitude of great reviews and referrals. She did not disappoint. Darby has been with us every step of the way through our buying process and has always been there to answer questions. She has also guided us through the ins and outs of buying in Michigan, having moved from Seattle, and informed us of everything we need to know, including setting up appointments for tests and inspections. She is very easy to talk to and also keeps it real. Darby is your person if you want someone who is knowledgeable, works her butt off, but still has an easy demeanor.

Darby Notario was our real estate agent for selling our home in Ann Arbor. When she came into our house, she did a quick and honest assessment regarding sales price and what needed to be done to prepare the house for showings (both large and small projects). We followed Darby's advice and sold our home quickly and for a higher price than we were asking. Darby is a realtor who is friendly, professional, honest, efficient, and readily available, whether by phone, text, email, or a meeting in person. We really enjoyed working with Darby and highly recommend her!

Darby was an absolute pleasure to work with, she knew exactly what I was looking for! Darby was extremely knowledgeable about the local area and the detailed items (what inspections cost, what things to look for during the inspections). She knew what things were important to me and what things we could negotiate on. She made sure that I ended up with the best deal possible and that it was something that could fit into my budget. Darby is an incredibly hard worker, she was available all the time and responded to emails or text messages quickly. I would highly recommend Darby to anyone!

Darby is an excellent real estate agent. She helped us find a home quickly, which made our big move back to Michigan much less stressful. With her help, we found our home on the first and really only weekend we had to find a house before my husband had to go back to Georgia to tie up loose ends. We can't thank her enough for her hard work.

Darby Notario was a joy to work with. When the property seemed to need a little extra spark to increase interest, Darby always had a suggestion of what could be done. Such as: Hiring a stager, changing the price just a little to move the listing up on other lists. Darby was always responsive to our questions and also kept us up to date on what she was doing to move our property forward to a sale.

When we decided to sell our farmhouse, we had several realtors come out to interview. Darby arrived with a full proposal listing her services, comparable homes, and a price range. From the moment we signed with Darby, it was like she was listing her own home. She worked very hard to help us throughout the whole process, right through to the sale of our farmhouse. When it was time to look for a new home, she was right there looking for properties and always willing to take us to look. Through the whole process, I felt like I had a friend on my side guiding me through. Thanks Darby!

To start, it should be known that my wife and I have bought and sold a dozen properties in three different states. Over the last three months, we’ve had the extreme pleasure of working with Darby Kalano in the process of selling our old home and buying our new home. In both cases, her services were exemplary. By far, she is the best realtor that my wife and I have had the pleasure of working with. She is very professional in every aspect of the process, from building your portfolio to the closing. Her knowledge and understanding of what needs to be completed make the process flow smooth and transparent. Her communication skills and ease of contact are a real plus when things need to get completed in a hurry. Her ability to listen and hear what you are saying helps shorten the process. She is detail-oriented and gives of her time freely in showing your home or looking for a new home. Last, she knows what sells homes, and at all times, she has your best interests at heart. Anyone who needs Realtor services would not be disappointed in selecting Darby to provide them.

Darby navigated us through the hard decision to sell the family farm and did it with sensitivity and professionalism. I could not recommend her highly enough.

Darby helped is with our fifth move in 13 years. She was hands down the best realtor we have ever worked with. To say she goes above and beyond expectations is an understatement. She anticipated our every need with the most complex purchase we have encountered. On her own, she contacted utility companies, township permit offices, and a difficult mortgage company. She was always positive yet realistic about our search. She would spot red flags in houses from foundational to floor plan issues we had not considered. On the other hand, she was quick to point out positives that aligned with our wish list. Her communication and transparency are second-to-none, and she has a great sense of humor. On closing day (which was a long time in the making do to issues with our bank), I was actually sad because I knew I wouldn’t get to regularly talk to Darby anymore. It would be impossible for me to recommend Darby enough. If you are lucky enough to get her on your team, you are lucky enough!
