As a client, I can truly say that Darcy is one of the most professional people I know.  She really knows her business and she really looks out for her clients.  She takes the time to find out what you want to achieve, how you want to achieve it, in what time frame, and within what budget.  I have never had to repeat myself with Darcy.  She gets it and she gets it right on.

Darcy is very hard working and a great communicator.  For me, communication is key.  As I have worked with Darcy for all my real estate needs, I have found that her extensive knowledge gives her the foresight to put her clients in the best position, save them large sums of money, and circumvent potential issues that the average person (even the average professional) would overlook.

I have always enjoyed working with Darcy, will continue to work with her and would highly recommend her.  She is a true professional.

Darcy went way above and beyond always putting us first.  She truly exceeded our expectations with the purchase of our home.  She is extremely knowledgeable, honest and really knows the market.  She made the process very smooth and enjoyable with her ability to educate us answering all of our questions and smoothing away any potential concerns.  She was with us every step of the way and communicating every step in the process.

Other past agents that we have used could never seem to find us the house that fit our needs.  Darcy was actually the first agent that really listened to what we needed and wanted in our home.  She took the time to understand why certain features were important to us and the purpose behind it.  Therefore, every house she showed us fit our criteria and it came down to just picking which one we liked best.

During the process of selecting an agent to sell my home, I interviewed several agents.  When I interviewed Darcy, she was the only agent that really took the time to listen to me and understand what was important to me.  When I interviewed other agents, it seemed like they just cared about getting the deal.  I chose Darcy because she cared more about what was best for me and because she was the most professional by far.  She was the most prepared and had the most thorough and professional presentation.  I could tell she was a real professional and she would take selling my home seriously.

Darcy exceeded my expectations both during the initial interview and throughout the whole process.  She was always proactive in everything she did for me.  I never had to call her.  Darcy was so prompt in her communication that she was the one calling me first to let me know what was going on every step of the way.  I was able to rely on her abundance of knowledge and always trusted her recommendations, which prooved to be dead on.

I had a great experience with Darcy and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a professional agent.

Steve & Loraine

We worked with Darcy to both sell our home and buy a new one.  Darcy was an absolute pleasure to work with.  She is extremely professional and is very committed to her clients.  She listens to what is important and makes sure she understands why it is important.  When we worked with Darcy, she always thoroughly explained the options and provided both the pros and cons of each.  This was immensely helpful in making the best possible decisions for us.  She is very knowledgeable and always provided the most professional guidance.  Darcy constantly communicated throughout the process so we always knew where things stood.  She is the type of person that tells it like it is.  Darcy is very organized and was always prepared in every step of the process.

There was never a question that Darcy was truly looking out for us.  It was very clear that making sure everything goes smoothly for her clients is very important to her.  She is very creative and was always willing to do whatever it took to get the job done and make sure we attained our desired goals.  Working with Darcy was an excellent experience.

I appreciate the honesty that Darcy has to offer to her clients.  She is upfront and realistic with the strategy for selling your home.  Darcy is on top of market trends and is willing to share her knowledge as much as possible.  It was a pleasure working with Darcy and I will gladly use her as my realtor in the future.  Thank you Darcy for getting us through this tough time of selling!!!

Jeff & Elisa

Darcy was fantastic!  She did the job that our first agent couldn’t do.  Unfortunately, we made the mistake of hiring a friend of a friend with our first agent and we vowed not to make the wrong choice again.  We always saw Darcy’s signs and constantly received her “Just Sold” cards on all the homes she is selling in this market.  About the time our listing was expiring, we had a chance to meet her at one of her open houses.  At that moment we knew she was the agent for us and that she would get our home sold.  We were right.  She is so professional and she worked very diligently to sell our home.  It was like night and day from our first agent and even the other agents we had worked with when we lived back East.  We had high expectations when we hired her and she completely exceeded all of them!  We really want to thank Darcy and we will definitely refer her to everyone we know in the Phoenix area and anyone we know that may be moving here in the future.

Darcy sold our existing home and helped us buy our new home.  She is a real expert and it is clear that she really knows what she is doing.  Though we sold our existing home in this very tough market, we knew that there was great opportunity to move up as a buyer.  This would not have been possible without the right agent.  While all the other homes for sale in our neighborhood sat on the market for 6 months to a year, Darcy got ours sold in 58 days and for full price!  She came in and advised us on how to make our home look great to buyers and how to price it.  Then she worked very hard to sell it. She was constantly bringing agents through and getting the home shown.  She even had put on a big tour where several agents viewed our home and brought buyers through it.  As we were looking for our next home, she completely understood exactly what we were looking for and only showed us the homes that matched what we wanted.  We found the perfect home and Darcy made the process of coordinating everything and moving from one home to the next so smooth.

Thank you Darcy for helping me when I was buying my first home.  You helped me so much. I was very excited but WOW!  There is so much to think about, and in this market, with all the short sales and foreclosures, I can look back now and see how confusing and overwhelming it could become without a top notch agent.  I can truly appreciate your expertise and knowledge.  You explained everything and made the process so smooth and simple.  I want you to know how thankful I am and that I will tell everyone I know to use you when they need a real estate agent.

To Whom It May Concern:

We have bought and sold many homes in our lifetime as we have moved and lived all around the country.  Once again we found ourselves moving back to Minnesota.  We have to say, of all the agents we have ever worked with, Mrs. Lightfoot, is by far the best we have ever had!  The market had already turned south and we knew it was a very tough time to sell.  In fact, we were scared our home may not sell and thus, prevent us from making the move in our required time frame.  However, Mrs. Lightfoot proved that not to be the case with her skill and tenacity.   She consulted us on just what we needed to do to overcome the obstacles of this tough market.  She was absolutely correct in her recommendations for the sales price, for the way to stage and present our home and she worked persistently to bring buyers and other agents to come and see it.  We had 2-3 showings weekly, even in this market.  We were astonished!  We received a cash offer for 98% of our asking price and the buyer also bought some of our furniture for an additional cost.  Needless to say, we were able to move within our required timeframe.  Mrs. Lightfoot did an outstanding job and we want to say Thank You!

I have been working with Darcy throughout 2008 & 2009 buying investment properties.  She understands exactly what I am looking for and she is a real “go-getter”.  She knows how to find and bring me deals that work.  She is thorough, does her homework and is an excellent negotiator.  Without Darcy’s expertise, I would not have the real estate portfolio that I have accumulated thus far.  She is excellent at what she does.

I just want to say how grateful I am to Darcy.  Due to personal circumstances, I needed to sell my home as fast as possible.  I had already lost valuable time with the previous agent I hired, who did not do their job.  When I met Darcy, my stress level was already extremely high and I was beginning to panic.  She was able to calm my worries and provide me with confidence that we would get my house sold and meet my needs.  She wasted no time.  She worked so hard and she did everything she promised and more.  She always kept me informed and took the stress out of the situation.  Because of Darcy, I got my house sold within the deadline I needed.  She did a wonderful job for me and I can’t thank her enough.

Mr. & Mrs. Shapiro

Darcy came highly recommended and she did not disappoint.  We were looking for property to serve as a winter home.  It was such a pleasure working with her.  She understood exactly what we were looking for.  Darcy’s knowledge of the local area was so detailed and immensely helpful.  We found the perfect property for a great price and are so excited to make this our winter home.  We would most definitely recommend her.

Dr. & Mrs. Tetzlaff

We have both bought and sold homes with Darcy.  She has been a fantastic agent for us.  She is a very detailed, knowledgeable and service oriented professional.  She has always listened to exactly what we want and has gone above and beyond the call of duty. She has done a wonderful job for us and has made the experience of the transactions smooth and seamless.

Vince & Rebecca

When we first moved to Phoenix, Darcy helped us find a house to rent.  We wanted to rent for a while and get to know the area before we bought a home.  She was so helpful and constantly provided us with information for different parts of the valley and what was happening in the market.  When we were ready to buy a home, she helped us find the perfect house and we got an amazing deal.  Darcy is a great agent and we want to say Thanks!

We are writing to express our overwhelming gratitude to Darcy. She is a phenomenal real estate agent.  We needed to sell our home and move to Chicago.  We initially were concerned about selling our home in such a down market flooded with foreclosures and short sales.  Darcy took away all our concerns.  She was so professional and really educated us about using a smart strategy to sell our home for top dollar.  Darcy worked extremely hard for us and she did get us top dollar.  In fact she sold our home in 33 days.  She was a tough negotiator, on our behalf, and we received a full price cash offer for our home.  Hiring Darcy was the best thing we did and we would most certainly recommend her.
