    Darena Canizalez, recommended by Greg Sevcik, helped buy a property on Jan. 2nd, 2024

    “Let me state up front that Darena is a true rockstar and a dream to work with! As a first time home buyer, I entered a difficult market with a lot of anxiety. A close friend recommended Darena to me, and after one phone call a felt at ease, heard, and informed. Darena is a true advocate for her clients. From the home search to negotiations to closing, Darena answered my questions, listened to my concerns, and advised me on the best course of action. Thanks to her, I secured a wonderful home and got a great deal. I would recommend Darena to EVERYONE! She is a true professional in every sense of the word and I can’t imagine a better person to work with on one of the biggest purchases of one’s life!"
