ABOUT ME:

A Minnesota Native who has enjoyed living in both small and large Metro communities such as Hanover, Minneapolis, St. Paul, St. Louis Park, Burnsville, NE Mpls/ St. Anthony Village and residing for the past 16 years in the city of Deephaven near Lake Minnetonka. I have been married for almost 30 years and have two sons and a daughter that have attended the Minnetonka School District, Benilde-St. Margaret's School and the University of Minnesota Twins Cities Campus within the Carlson School of Management; along with our petite Goldendoodle who makes us all smile.  

WORKING WITH ME: I am a Full Time Real Estate Agent with fifteen+ additional years of experience in Account Management, Marketing and Sales while being noted as "a strategist and performer who partners with clients in achieving their goals and results." My absolute #1 goal as your Real Estate Agent is to make sure your real estate transactions go as smooth as possible with exceptional representation and communication. I truly LOVE my job and look forward to working with you.

CLIENT FEEDBACK: " Darlene was a pleasure to work with! I felt very comfortable with her through out our whole house selling process. I feel she gave my husband and I great advice and really helped me with the house staging process. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking to put their house on the market". Beth P.

"Darlene is extremely resourceful. She found several properties for me to consider that weren't even on the market yet." Julie P.

"I couldn't have hoped for better help finding my new home." Daryl C.

"Throughout our home buying process, Darlene was professional, patient and strategic. Her knowledge of Minnetonka and Deephaven (our desired location) was instrumental in us buying our home." Matt H.

TWIN CITIES MARKET: I welcome the opportunity to serve clients in the Twin Cities/Greater Twin Cities communities with their buying/selling needs. My mix of rural, suburban and urban communities of where I have lived help make my personal connection to a variety of real estate needs and transactions.
