I am Nancy, a local Realtor and owner of Nancy Darnell Homes. If you are looking to buy or sell real estate, it would be my pleasure to represent you. I began my real estate career in Placer County and quickly found success when I purchased, renovated, and sold properties for myself. After buying and selling for myself, I found a passion for real estate and decided to help others buy and sell their homes. I am known for helping my buyers and sellers enjoy their real estate experience by putting their needs first. But I am most touted for outstanding client service, 24/7 availability, personal touches, and as a skilled, certified negotiator with my client's best interests at heart. I believe strongly that it is my duty to represent my clients to the best of my ability and educate them throughout every step of the process, armed with top-notch information and market insight, so that my clients make the best decision possible. I am honest, sometimes telling clients things they might not want to hear, hardworking and knowledgeable about the real estate industry, and working with top agents in the industry. Buying or selling one's home can be an overwhelming experience, but it doesn't have to be. It should be satisfying - even enjoyable. It's that reason I work diligently to find or sell your home in the right amount of time. I have nationwide connections and provide an excellent referral network. So if you, or anyone you know, would like assistance with any real estate need, please call me. If I can't personally represent you, I will carefully select an agent who specializes in your location and has the same passion I do for...YOU!
