Positive:Responsiveness
Darcy went the extra mile to help me sell my home. After a death I was left with a home in Kansas while I lived in different state. She would let me know if the grass was too high or if there was any thing else needing attention.

Went to the bank and had everything organized to sign papers and then they decided to take a different offer and not call.
