My wife and I really enjoyed working with Darlene. This was our first home purchase ever and she made the process easy to understand. Darlene took into account our personal choices and home needs and respected our decisions. She was very flexible with her time and we were always kept up to date with new homes. We greatly appreciated her kindness and patience throughout our search. We'll definitely be using her again. Thanks Darlene!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Darlene Young and First Choice Realty with the sale of our home. I've known Darlene for years and she also represented us with the purchase of our home over 18 years ago. Along with her knowledge, expertise and professionalism, Darlene was our only choice. I look forward to working with you again in the very near future!!!
