Testimonials

Leigh L.

Darin came to the property himself and did an inspection and measuring of my property, discovering a discrepancy in the actual square footage vs. what was public record. ... Darin was the only one that actually measured and agreed to try getting more. ... It sold quickly, above asking price with multiple buyers interested.

David L.

The above 1031 exchange was the most difficult and complex business transaction that I have ever been involved with. I felt much more comfortable knowing that Darin was there to back me up. I have worked with several real estate agents in the past few years and Darin was hands down the best!

Mary and Marv R.

My husband and I interviewed at least 6 other agents before listing our property with Darin. ... Darin proposed a listing of only 2 months when other brokers wanted a 6 month listing. This was impressive, showing a confidence in being able to get a quick sale.

Reatha S.

[Darin's] expertise facilitated the sale of my 18 Unit property in record time. ... In completing the 1031 Exchange for the property, [he] located several properties that met my criteria and again handled the business transactions in a timely and professional manner.

Steven K.

Needless to say when it was time to sell our commercial building last year, I didn't hesitate to contact and retain Darin again. ... I find him to be an excellent real estate broker, very professional, friendly and easy to work with. ... I have referred him to others and would continue to do so.

Shan Y.

He is responsive, thorough, knowledgeable, easy to work with, and tailors each transaction to the individual client to best meet that client’s projected goals. ... Given my background as a trial attorney and litigator, I have very high expectations for the people that I work with, and Darin has definitely met and exceeded all of my expectations.

Michael H.

We received several offers below the listing price and Darin was able to raise the price by creating a competitive bidding war between the buyers.

Ryan and Narine R.

When it came time to negotiate with buyers and their agents, however, Darin demonstrated strong negotiating skills. Ultimately, we were able to sell our building to an all cash buyer in a short escrow.

Anda A.

This is the second time that Darin Spillman has represented me ... I always knew that if I chose to sell another building he would be my one and only choice.

Jim and Judy D.

It was a pleasure having [Darin] represent us in the sale of our 10 unit apartment building. ... Everything went smoothly and we closed on time with no snags.

Andrew G.

Darin ... knows the business well, is detail-oriented, follows through on all his obligations in a timely fashion, and almost always answers his phone — and that’s saying something in this day and age of texting, voicemail and unfortunately, call screening.

Bob G.

I found [Darin] very easy to work with and [he] anticipated and strategized all obstacles. Actually, [he] performed way beyond [his] scope of duties to facilitate the negotiations, due diligence and closing of escrow.

Jason L.

I found Mr. Spillman to be of the highest integrity, honest, and extremely creative from the point of listing through the close of escrow.

Owen K. and Angie G.

[Darin] was always available to answer questions and discuss our options, even though we weren’t sure yet whether we would sell at all, and never pressured us to do anything we weren’t comfortable with.

Martin G.

[Darin] was able to be assertive in a very diplomatic way, which proved essential to the successful sale of our apartment building.
