Darlene Umina

Darlene was my buying agent during the most challenging season of my life. There were lots of moving parts and waves of emotions. The real estate market was on fire! It was the best time to sell in decades... not so much so good to be a buyer. Darlene was a steady rock through my storm. I cannot speak highly enough of her professionalism and experience coupled with a genuinely caring nature and authentic heart. Her expert knowledge, customer service, calm and steady nature helped guide me to my dream house that checked all my boxes and then some!

We loved working with Darlene! We had to move quick and she helped us navigate a historically bad real estate market with very low inventory and intense bidding wars.We relied on her expertise about the different neighborhoods in Framingham, the school system, local hidden gems, traffic, etc. She was able to help us understand what sellers were motivated by and how to structure the most competitive offer for that specific seller. It was also clear that she has a great reputation in the industry. She has strong relationships with great lenders and attorneys which was huge in a time of rising interest rates.But we were most thankful for Darlene going above and beyond to help us when we had a difficult family situation arise during the closing process. She made sure all parties on the buy and sell side were on the same page when we were so distracted. I can confidently say we would not have been able to close (and on time!) if we weren't working with her.

Darlene assisted with the sale of our home in Massachusetts while we are in Maine. She was very accommodating with our time schedules. She and her team made it possible to do most of the paperwork online to save us time, travel, and stress. All questions were answered within a short amount of time; and she was always immediately available by phone or text. Her knowledge of the housing market and her resources made for and quick and efficient sale. Darlene's upbeat and relaxed manner made the sale of a family home easier. We would highly recommend Darlene &Company. They make you feel like you are their only client.

We used Darlene to both sell our old home and buy our new one. She was spot on with what we needed to do to sell and what we should ask and get. Additionally, she knew just we were looking for in a new home and got us exactly what we wanted. She just made everything so incredibly easy, walking us through the process. Plus she had recommendations for all our local needs. We would recommend Darlene to anyone and actually already have. Just the best!

Darlene Review My family found our forever home thanks to Darlene. My husband and I recently purchased and sold our home with Darlene and we could not be happier with the service she provided.We had minimal disruption to our daily life while still moving forward on a quick timeline to both buy and sell. Darlene took care to schedule photos, showings, walk throughs, and inspections around our sons nap and bedtime routine. She made this process as easy as possible for us. Darlene was there to add perspective and industry knowledge during a tumultuous low inventory pandemic market. We went into our search looking at both existing homes and new construction. Darlene proved time and time again to be a wealth of knowledge on both paths. She was very responsive through email, call and text. Any question asked received a explanation that helped us outline our options and make informed decisions.When we settled on new construction Darlene helped facilitate communication and made sure our wants where being met. Our builder made multiple comments about how easy Darlene was to communicate with. Our previous realtors tried to convince us to buy every house we looked at. Darlene instead listened to our must haves and cared about us finding a house that was truly the right fit for us. I highly recommend Darlene to anyone buying or selling a home.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Darlene for the purchase of our first home in 2016. Darlene was very helpful throughout the whole process. We were able to see the house prior to the open house and had an accepted offer before the open house even took place. This past year, our family grew and more space was needed. We contacted Darlene again to begin the search for a new home. With no immediate rush, we thought we would take our time searching. Within a few weeks, the perfect home presented itself. In this current aggressive market, Darlene advised us how to proceed with an attractive offer. She made the whole process seamless. Darlene is thorough, knowledgeable and easy to work with. We highly recommend Darlene in any purchase or sales of a home!

If you are looking for an incredible realtor that has expert knowledge of the Massachusetts housing market, look no further. Darlene was magnificent from the beginning of the buying process through the end of the closing. As first-time home buyers, we had numerous questions that we would send over to Darlene and would get instantaneous answers with thorough explanations. Within a few weeks of working with Darlene, we landed our perfect home.A listing hit the market that we were very interested in, and after a brief call with Darlene she set up a showing in advance of the open house. We were the first to see the property and let her know how much we liked it, and so she recommended we make an offer, told us what to bid, explained how the process would go and how important it could be to have an offer in before the open house, and how we could use this as leverage to dictate and advance the seller's schedule. When our offer was accepted we learned there were multiple offers above ours, but through Darlene's guidance and ability to represent us and negotiate, we landed our dream house without raising our offer or increasing our down payment.I cannot say in a review enough good things about Darlene. Her professionalism, industry expertise, process knowledge, and personality create the perfect real estate agent. If you want to give yourself the best opportunity to land your dream home, put your trust in Darlene.

Darlene is nothing short of exceptional! We worked with her to both buy and sell our home in Holliston over the course of a 2.5 yr period and her professionalism and expertise made both processes so easy. She is so responsive and knowledgeable about the Greater Boston real estate market that I truly couldn't imagine working with anyone else. She's become a great friend through the years and we can't recommend her enough!

Darlene was an amazing agent from start to finish. You can tell right away that she is extremely knowledgeable with the area and buying/selling real estate. She was honest and upfront about everything which we appreciated immensely. I would gladly work with Darlene again but I think she did such a good job that we are staying put in our new house for good! Thanks again Darlene!

Darlene is extremely friendly, kind and professional. She is very knowledgeable and knows exactly what she is doing. My husband and I were buying our first home and knew nothing about the process. Darlene made it easy for us. She was always very patient and made sure we understood everything along the way. We will definitely be using her again if/when we buy another home.
