To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to share my real estate experience with Darrin Stumpf. In August 2003, my husband and I sold our small (very small) home in Fremont, and purchased a new home in Greenwood. Darrin was our selling and buying agent. We couldn't have been more pleased with our experience! This was our first sale and purchase, but Darrin was very patient with us. I was even driving myself crazy with questions, but he never even batted an eye! He explained how things work, and really walked us through it all. I really feel that he went above and beyond the call of duty.

We sold our home in less than two weeks, which shocked us, only because the house is so small (about 600 square feet), we thought for sure it would be a tough sell. Not for Darrin! The marketing he put together was amazing and obviously successful.

We fell in love with our new home right away. Darrin was great with communicating with the then current owners for us. We got the house for an amazing price, and have been very happy there for more than a year now.

Darrin works very hard for his clients and always goes that extra mile. He is efficient and we felt so comfortable working with him. We highly recommend Darrin Stumpf as a real estate sales associate. Neil and I plan on trading up again within five years, and it's safe to say who we will call!

Sincerely,

Tanya Rosengrant & Neil Kappen

To whom it may concern,

I wish to commend you the person of Darrin Stumpf. My experience working with Mr. Stumpf through the multitude of steps involved with the finalization of my new residence in the Greenwood neighborhood bears merit -- it reflects a remarkable effort.

After he and I saw far past a dozen potential places to occupy, we landed at the door of my final choice just hours after it had listed. He made the offer immediately, then set into motion our task of closing in 3 weeks to accommodate my schedule. When the litany of problems arose from the buyer's side he negotiated an advantageous rental contract that allowed me to rent the place while the seller cleaned up his unrecorded liens. That move saved me a bunch of extra work and expense, plus the stress of moving my boxes twice!

After relating my harrowing adventure to a friend that had lots of real estate buying and selling experience, he expressed to me how the type of deal I entered into could only be pulled off equitably by a bonafide real estate expert, there were several ways for the buyer to get stung in the transaction, but when I showed him how Darrin structured it and got signatures everywhere necessary, he exclaimed that Darrin is a sharp detailed genius, and wow about how many extra steps he made to deliver the deal.

How lucky I am for his expertise, tenacity, and professionalism, and for that of his team. From knocking doors to the final escrow paper re-creation due to the seller's liens, Darrin transformed a rather stressful situation into a pleasurable experience. I will say this too--This is a man to trust to move mountains in order to find you the best possible fit for your own situation, then to pleasantly work whatever hours necessary to complete the transaction-- and all with a smile.

Thank You Darrin!

Investment

Darrin Stumpf was invaluable in helping me to find two well-located, multi family rentals that "pencil". Darrin's knowledge, high energy level, resourcefulness and careful attention to detail is impressive.

I was faced with the difficult task of relocation rental property. The transaction was a complex one involving two 1031 exchanges. Darrin responded with enthusiasm and was very effective. I had many detailed questions which Darrin responded to in a effective manner.

Without hesitation, I highly recommend Darrin Stumpf. I will call on him for future real estate investment needs. Thank you, Darrin!

Let's talk numbers. In the past 6 years I've worked almost exclusively with Darrin to grow a real estate portfolio of 400k into, conservatively, 3.5M. At least one new property a year has been the plan, and the plan has worked very well, and continues to work well.

There has been no risky flipping, no heavy-outlay remodelling, no sweat equity. Just good, solid, fundamental investment. People need housing. People want house. Invest in the right areas, and you'll see good returns in any market condition.

When it comes time to look for investment properties I think you absolutely must use a broker who understands the full financing details, the economics of real estate, the ins-and-outs of the development process, and has the necessary contacts to make sure . Darrin is that agent for me, and I heartily recommend him .
