Consider yourself fortunate if you chose Darin Rich as your realtor! He is a caring person and very knowledgeable about the real estate market - always available and ready to answer any questions. He offered many excellent tips for getting our house ready to go on the market. I suppose that is why our house sold in 5 days! Thanks so much, Darin!

If you’re looking for a top notch realtor, we highly recommend Darin. During the home buying process, Darin has been the difference in ensuring that we had success in the purchase of our home. He is meticulous, prompt, a people person, and listened to our needs and requirements. Darin always has that positive attitude, which we really needed during the process of going through all of those potential homes, and there were many. His experience in the real estate and lending processes really is phenomenal, and will help you get the home that you’re going after. In this market, that’s exactly the type of professional that you need to reach your end goal. We’re so happy to have found Darin, and will surely contact him if ever in need of a realtor in the future.

Darin helped us buy the house of our dreams, and in a crazy pandemic market. Even when we thought it was not possible, he was always by our side, guiding us with patience and the utmost knowledge. We really hit the realtor jackpot when we found him. Thank you, Darin, for making this oh-so-stressful process so much easier.

If you are reading this comment, congratulations! - your search for a realtor is over! Darin's experience and recommendations helped us find the perfect home and sell our previous home fast and at a very satisfactory price point. His knowledge in loans, home construction, staging, and all other things real estate related was instrumental in helping us close the deal. The best advice I can provide someone entering the housing market is to enlist Darin's help, hear his advice, and follow it.

We sold our home in Delaware 2 years ago and moved into a rental home in New Windsor, Maryland. Darin has worked with us diligently since then to find a property that suited our needs . After a number of near misses he found the perfect house for us in Hagerstown, Maryland. Not only did he get us the best deal possible, he managed to get the sellers to help pay for a new furnace! We could not be happier with our new home.

Darin is a professional realtor with high quality service. We contacted him to sell our home and wanted a quick sale at top value. He provided us comparables in the area and good advice on how to de-clutter our home to be presentable for showings. We received a full price contract the 1st weekend of showing. We really appreciate all his advice and happy with the quick sale.

As I sit here and pour over the written words of so many before us, it is quite apparent that Darin is a very well respected, knowledgeable, and a dedicated agent. Darin exemplifies these qualities and so much more. Through a pandemic and surge in housing prices we found ourselves in uncharted territory. We battled a range of emotions through this process of both buying and selling a house. Darin was with us each step of the way and offered his expertise and honesty, which we greatly appreciated and respected. He listened, and offered reassurance whenever we were doubting ourselves. Darin is honest, hard working, and was always available to advise us throughout the entire process. He is well deserving of a five star rating.

As a first time home buyer I was, to say the least, a bit apprehensive when I first made the decision to dive into this crazy market. I did as much research as I could in finding a good agent and as luck would have it, I connected with Darin.
It was immediately apparent that I had made the right decision. He spent the time and effort needed to educate me on the process and level set my expectations while also providing the hope needed to push forward. It will be obvious to anyone that works with him that he genuinely cares about you and your well being. Providing you with the tools so you can make the best and most informed decision. Even while dealing with some difficulties of his own he was continuing to advocate for me and accommodate any listings I wanted to see. I believe that dedication is rooted much deeper than just wanting to get a sale. It’s obvious he cares about his clients and their hopes and dreams. I was never steered in any particular direction, as it is important to him that any decisions I made were mine as this is one of the biggest decisions one can make in life.
He always makes himself available and I never felt like just another client. He’s also reiterated many times to call him whenever I need anything, advice, resources, etc. even after the process is complete and I officially own my home.
The journey didn’t take as long as I had once expected and today I closed on my first home. I would very much like to thank you, Darin. I don’t believe it would have been this easy without you.
If you are looking for an agent, please give Darin a call. You won’t regret it. I will surely be a client of his for any real estate needs in the future.

We hired Darin Rich nearly 17 years ago to manage our property through Realty Group Property Management. We have never been disapointed. Darin is professional and responsive to the requirements of managing our property. Over the years, Darin moved on through REMAX to the sale and purchase of homes as a realtor. We hired Darin to sell the property he'd help us manage over the years. We can not say enough on how well Darin helped us. We were informed at every step of the process on what was needed in the form of documents and certain tax implications of our sale. Darin maintained a rapport with the buyers realtor that made the process even easier. Darin's professionalism as a realtor is without question. We highly recommend Darin as your realtor.

Darin Rich is, in my opinion, one in a million. He’s everything you want in an agent: someone who is judiciously looking out for your best interests, is completely open and honest, always willing to offer insight and guidance based on his experience. But what really sets him apart is the degree to which he cares, the degree to which he invests himself in the process. The degree to which he makes your concerns his.
It becomes really obvious very quickly that he cares about this monumental step in your life every bit as much as you do. Always there, always responsive, always five steps ahead and assuring you everything is taken care of. Always willing to jump in and help, always willing to spend as much time as is necessary to make sure you’re comfortable.
I have always believed that to do any job well, you have to CARE about it, on a personal level; it has to matter to you. And there is no doubt in my mind Darin obviously loves what he does.
Where other agents will make you feel like you’re just a name on a long list of active clients, Darin’s actions and attention make you feel like you are his ONLY client.
My wife recently said to me that some people find a real estate agent that they trust implicitly, that they work with their entire lives…and that Darin is one of those agents.
I couldn’t agree more.

I don't typically review businesses/services, actually this is my first one, however it is the least I could do for my real estate agent Darin Rich. Mr. Rich made the process of homeownership easier than I could have ever imagined. Darin was always willing to answer any questions (which there were many), and was extremely knowledgeable in the location in which I was looking to purchase a home (which alleviated a lot of my concern regarding nearby schools). Additionally if Darin didn't immediately take my calls he always followed up in a timely manner. Choosing a reputable agent was (for me) the most important part of my homebuying experience, and I was able to work with one of the best!

You will not find a more professional, knowledgeable and personable Real Estate agent than Darin Rich. He assisted me with the purchase of my first house, stressful as it was. I am not writing to recognize him for the excellent service he provided during the purchase of our home, but after. Being first time homeowners waking up to a basement full of black water was the last thing I expected. I remember Darin telling me (after settlement) that if anything comes up with which you have questions to call him. When I saw the mess in my basement I immediately called Darin and explained what happened. Darin explained to me what to do, and provided recommendations on who to call. After dealing with 3 different companies and given 3 different explanations I called Darin once again and expressed my frustration. Darin himself took it upon himself to contact the companies to assist me with getting answers. I don't even know how many phone calls on my behalf Darin made, however i know he spent a significant part of his day assisting me, and this was almost 8 MONTHS after purchasing my home. After the situation was resolved, Darin once again reiterated to call him if he could assist me with anything and trust me, I WILL!

He has enlightened me on several issues and we are still currently discussing options on the issues. When we hung up from our first conversation I felt I hit the jackpot on integrity! I feel Darin is pure value and strikes me as a solid professional. I highly recommend contacting him.

Darin helped my family secure a place to live during the pandemic when university housing was cancelled, affecting plans for the rest of the year. His character, professionalism, kind and thoughtful manner made what was originally a stressful process much easier. Our situation was complicated and he understood exactly what we needed and helped us find the perfect solution. He went above and beyond, the way a true friend would. This hasn't been the best year, but finding Darin and having his help has been an absolute blessing. I can't recommend him enough.

Working with Darin was a wonderful experience. It was my husband and mine first time selling a house and he patiently and thoroughly walked us through each step. We were on a tight timeline and Darin was able to list our house, take photos, schedule showings, and bring us offers in less than a week! We sold our house for full asking price, and Darin’s past experience as a loan officer ensured we knew we were accepting a solid offer. Darin was also went the extra mile to connect us with a realtor in our new town and always makes himself available to give his opinion and/or answer questions. He is truly a kind, intelligent, and honest man, and we cannot recommend him highly enough!

Selling a house during the pandemic was interesting, masks, gloves, etc. Darin was a great partner to help navigate through these challenges. He was responsive, engaged, and thoughtful throughout the process. He ensured the house showed as well as possible.

I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Darin Rich. As a first time home buyer I had almost no knowledge about finding and purchasing a home. Darin was extremely responsive and proactive in communication throughout the entire process. We went to multiple homes and submitted contracts for a total of 3. Darin methodically went through contracts making sure I understood every detail. We went and looked at the home I would eventually purchase 3 times. Darin was happy to set up the showings of the same home multiple times in order to give us as much time as we needed. We went twice in one day to the same home! On the third try and I was able to get the home I purchased. I was ecstatic to find out that the seller accepted my contract (there were 5 other offers on the home). Once the seller accepted my contract Darin walked me through every step of closing. Darin took the time to ensure that I was comfortable and understood the entire home inspection. His knowledge of general home construction and improvement gave me an informed perspective when going through the inspection. Darin negotiated with the selling agent for repairs. Up to settlement Darin was proactive in making sure I was getting everything done on time.
For every question I asked, Darin had a story about a similar situation that answered my questions and informed my decisions. I highly recommend Darin to anyone buying or selling a home and will use him if I end up selling or buying again. I ended up finding my dream home and would not have been able to without Darin.

Darin is a rock star agent! He assisted me through my first home-buyer experience with prompt advice and professionalism. We connected immediately and began to discuss what I was looking for in my dream home. Being a first time home buyer there were many variables that I would have never considered except that Darin would explain to me why certain elements of being a home-owner would be beneficial down the road. He also educated me in the importance of the care and maintenance of my house, for example, keeping my gutters clean - I have a forest surrounding my house!
Once I found dream home, Darin thoroughly explained to me the contract process and what to expect moving forward. After the contract submittal time period ended, Darin kept me informed and up-to-date of the conversations that goes on behind the scenes. He developed a good relationship with the seller's agent which ultimately was a significant contributing factor of why I was chosen to purchase the home.
Being a first time home buyer I thought it would be intimidating to have taken on this new and daunting experience alone, Darin was by my side providing me guidance and direction through the entire process. I highly recommend working with Darin - I am so grateful for him (he also has a rather funny sense of humor too).

After living in our starter home for 7 years my wife and I decided that we wanted to upgrade to a larger home with room for our growing family + relatives. When we searched for a realtor to work with we came across reviews for Darin and saw he had a wealth of 5 star reviews that suggested he was responsive, knowledgeable, and committed to his clients. We quickly reached out to secure his services and having Darin on our side paid off in a huge way.
Our starter home was an older home and we recognized that, in order to sell, we would at least want to patch up the walls and paint some rooms. Darin worked closely with us to find a contractor who could quickly spruce the place up and then worked with his stager to show our home in the best possible light. Throughout the process of preparing our home for sale Darin was incredibly responsive and knowledgeable, answering all of our questions as first-time sellers and ensuring we were set up for success. He hired a professional photographer who took stunning photos showing our home in the best possible light and when we went live with our listing I knew our home was going to be a hit.
Our home quickly became a ‘hot home’ on Redfin and Zillow and within just a few days we had multiple offers to consider, providing peace of mind as we had a move-in date of early August for our new home.
Darin then worked closely with us through the nerve wracking contingency period, ensuring we were reassured about inspections, appraisal, and communication with the buyer’s and their agent.
In addition to helping us sell our home Darin also helped us find our new home and was instrumental in helping to secure an excellent inspector, and negotiated to allow us to move our items into the garage of the new home ahead of closing so that we could finalize sale of our old home without having to put our stuff in storage. Darin was indispensable throughout the process.
As final icing on the cake, Darin has experience working in lending as well, so he is extremely knowledgeable about the process of securing a loan and ensuring that the buyers of our home were qualified and that there wouldn’t be any financing issues on their end. We were confident in their ability to purchase our home because Darin was confident that they wouldn’t have issues.
Overall, working with Darin was a great pleasure and I recommend him highly. He is a wonderful realtor!

As a first-timer home buyer, it was important that we worked with an agent that explained the market, loan process, and all the details that go along with purchasing a home. Darin Rich was phenomenal to work with. He was accessible and clearly explained everything to us. He went out of his way to put us in touch with a loan officer and home inspector that were up to his caliber. He stuck with us until the end and continuously reached out to us as our closing date approached to let us know things were moving along and to see if we needed anything. I can not say enough great things about Darin, and he receives my highest recommendation.

When a close relative passed away recently, I found myself in a situation which was very difficult both emotionally and logistically. I live out of state and the challenge of selling a modest house that had not been updated for some time from hundreds of miles away was overwhelming. I knew no realtors in Maryland, and I was certain that any decent realtor I could happen upon would not treat this listing as a priority. An internet search brought up Darin’s name along with many others. His online reviews were excellent and based only on those and a bit of instinct he was the first person I called. I could not have possibly made a better choice. After speaking with him on the phone I knew immediately that I didn’t need to call anyone else. Darin patiently walked me through the process and I never felt as if my listing wasn’t his very highest priority. He was constantly in contact with me, kept me updated on every detail, and --most importantly -- he took care of everything so that I did not have to travel away from my family to attend to preparing the house for sale or for settlement. (He even saved me almost $1500 by negotiating (over several days) the cost of a home clean-out service – something above and beyond what I would have expected from any realtor.) I trusted Darin with a lot of decisions -- whether to put money into renovations before listing the property, deciding on the listing price, timing the market, and so on -- and his instincts were spot-on every single time. Once we put the property on the market, at the time he recommended and for the price he recommended, he held fast and expertly negotiated through a number of initial lowball offers until he had a cash offer for full listing price with no contingencies. In the end the property settled in under three weeks for around $20,000 more than I would have listed it for had I not followed Darin’s advice. Darin is well worth his commission, and then some.
My only regret in working with Darin is that I expect any realtor I work with in the future in my own state will pale in comparison. He has spoiled me for realtors. If you are fortunate enough to be buying or selling in Maryland, you need look no further.

We talked with several real estate agents before interviewing Darin, and even before the interview was over, we both knew that we wanted him to be our agent. He patiently explained all the legal ramifications of the selling process and advised us on everything that our house needed to prepare it for the sale. He was always available to answer questions and would not hesitate to return to our house for further inspection and suggestions. During the entire process his behavior was extremely professional but he made us feel like he was an old friend giving us advise. We are very pleased to recommend him to anyone considering selling a property.

The house Darin listed and sold for us is an older property and as such lower in price than others in the area. This resulted in multiple contracts that through the course of the listing sometimes didn't pan out for some buyers. Darin always stay committed and upbeat until the next contract came along. And it always did. Darin stayed in touch with us, as the sellers, continually through the whole process. His expertise in the local market as well as his contacts with other agents, settlement companies, and property management companies made the process painless. If we, the sellers, lost optimism Darin would always be there accentuating the positive. As a result the home sold for the price we were looking for. As a buyer and seller of multiple homes through the years I must say Darin is the best agent I ever had the pleasure to work with.

Darin Rich is an incredible man and real estate agent. He cares so much about his clients and does everything he can to make sure they come out on top. He knows the answers to your questions before you even know you had the questions. He's incredibly smart with an infectious laugh. Darin has more integrity than any realtor I've met over the years. I fought selling the old family house for years, years that Darin kept in touch, not pushing or even mentioning selling, but as a human being that truly cared about what was going on in our lives. It would be more than redundant to reiterate what everyone already has said in their reviews. I'm getting ready to sell another house and there's not even a thought that anyone other than Darin Rich will be our listing agent. He's just the best.

Mr. Rich was extremely professional. He met with me and viewed the property when it was vacant. He told me what I needed to do to obtain the optimum sales price. I followed his instructions.
When the property was ready, he had his photographer to photograph the grounds and the interior of the condo. The photos exemplified the condo wonderfully!
My property was put on the market on a Friday, we had one offer on Saturday and by Tuesday there were five offers. After negotiations we
ratified a contract by Wednesday. My condo was sold in less than a week after being put on the market.
Following the instructions of a seasoned and well respected realtor is definitely key to the success of any real estate sale.
Mr. Rich handled this sale as if he were selling a million dollar property! I was extremely happy and will recommend him to other friends and family.

First and foremost, Darin is a professional. He knows his business, his markets, and has a wealth of experience in this field.
Second, he truly has his client's best interest in mind. You never get the sense that his primary interest is his own financial interest, or to minimize his inconvenience or work burden.
Third point. He has a strong work ethic. I can't say enough about how much I appreciated that trait. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and paid great attention to detail.
And, fourth, Darin has integrity. It's so rare nowadays to work with service providers that operate with a sense of integrity. But Darin truly cares about his clients and about the integrity of his work.
I am eternally grateful for his representation and his service. I am in the service provider industry as well (not real estate), and I will strive to incorporate these traits that Darin displayed with me with my own clients. They should feel as reassured that I am representing their interest as I was with Darin representing mine.

Darin was the most incredible realtor to work with as my husband and I purchased a home. He went above and beyond throughout the entire process, from beginning to end, and always had a smile on his face! Darin is very knowledgeable, resourceful, and does everything in his power to meet your needs as a client. Darin was quick to respond to the many questions we had and took care of any problem that came up with ease and positive energy. He pays attention to what his clients want and finds the perfect home to accommodate them. Darin’s strengths include his perseverance, enthusiasm, guidance, professionalism, and ability to advocate for his clients. His support, encouragement, and kindness and are unforgettable and we are thankful that he made our home buying experience so pleasant. He even got us a unique, personalized gift at closing. Look no further for a realtor – Darin is the best there is!

Darin helped my mother sell her home. She had been in her home for 30 years. He guided her through the process without any problems. He is honest, knowledgeable and will not promise you what he won't be able to deliver. Darin was also very helpful with all of our questions throughout the move. Given his experiences, he also has many resources to assist in whatever may come up through the entire process. I would highly recommend Darin Rich to anyone who is looking for an excellent realtor. He will work for you!

We entered the seller market with some concerns and little knowledge of the process. All of our concerns were put to rest as Darin took a great deal of time explaining the process in detail, answering questions and completing some steps for us. Darin followed the sale from beginning to end with great attention to detail and always taking care to keep us informed and up tp date. Because of Darin's knowledge the sale of our home went without problems and was a positive experience. If you want the security of selling your property knowing it is being handled by a caring, expert real estate professional I would high recommend you contact Darin Rich.

Darin went out of his way to help make this sale happen. We were out of state sellers and Darin did a lot of ground work for us because we were not able to do any of the local things to get the condo ready for sale. Drain contacted contractors etc. and monitored them to be sure the last details were complete.

I have sold two properties with Darin and both experiences were excellent! Darin went above and beyond to coordinate with renters, with contractors for updates and repairs, and with the title company to ensure the closing process is smooth. Darin would even send me reminders of little things that I needed to do, which I really appreciated. With all the things to think about while selling a house, Darin was always on top of all the tasks, could answer any question I had no matter how detailed, and he was extremely easy to work with. Thanks Darin!

My wife and I recently sold our house in Maryland. After interviewing many real estate agents, we met with Darin and immediately knew he was different. This was our first experience selling a house so naturally, we were anxious and confused. Darin was patient when explaining the process and confident in his ability to get us through. From day one, Darin kept us informed and at ease. He gave us the complete financial picture, down to the $20-$100 level, up front so we wouldn't be surprised with expenditures later on. We were expecting to wait a few months to show, sell and settle our home. Darin shattered that expectation, selling our house within 6 days of listing. Darin confidently negotiated on our behalf and smoothly handled EVERYTHING, all the way to closing. I can not imagine having an easier time selling a house and there is no way that could have happened without Darin. There is no doubt in my mind that we found the best agent that Maryland has to offer!

Darin did an outstanding job selling my two properties. He was professional, responsive, an excellent negotiator and very ethical and honest which I appreciate. Although I live in CA and had never met him in person I trusted him with a challenging and complex financial and estate matter. And I couldn't have asked for a better Realtor! He was patient and generous with his time. He also did a great job keeping me abreast through the process. He took into account my best interest. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Yes, I am Darin's brother but my review comes without bias and full confidence. It had been over 20 years since my last purchase and I knew much had changed and the proper guidance was going to be a necessity. However, my first question to Darin was why does anyone even need an agent anymore. Between all of the real estate websites and open houses it would seem that it's all at our fingertips. I quickly learned why having a savvy agent was critical to a successful outcome.
It begins fundamentally with education and communication. As accessible as information is on the internet nothing compares to the experience of a well seasoned agent that has history in the market. Zillow just can't give you that. Darin was able to educate us on the nuances of the market and before long we found the perfect house that met all of our needs. Before writing a contract he explained what our obligations were as well as the monetary things we, as buyers, should not be hesitant to ask for. Without Darin's knowledge of the sellers needs and concessions he believed would be appropriate to ask for our purchase may have been unattainable. Darin was able to submit a contract that not only worked for us financially but also worked for the sellers. It all happened so fast and efficiently that I continually waited for the other shoe to drop. Throughout the process Darin explained in detail every aspect of the contract and, most importantly, why he drafted it the way he did. Now of course, being his brother, I entrusted him with a lot more of the decisions than most probably would, but in the end it was the smartest thing I could have done and the results were favorable to all parties.
My loan was challenging primarily because I picked the wrong broker. It took an excessive amount of time which caused a lot of anxiety for everyone involved. Darin's job was made more complex because he had to answer to the sellers agent as to why the loan was taking so long. It was a balancing act of keeping the sellers confident that we would come through and convincing them not to terminate the contract. All total Darin was able to garner 8 contract extensions over the course of four months. That is next to impossible for any agent in a market as active as it was. It was handled with grace, intelligence and extraordinary communication skill. Additionally, he worked closely with the loan officer to facilitate the loan which, as I understand it, isn't typically in the scope of the agents responsibilities. He advocated for me whenever possible and relentlessly pursued the broker for answers when they became unresponsive. He managed the situation as I never could of and, believe me, that's not an easy thing for a brother to admit.
We are now two weeks into our new home and I can say without hesitation that the best thing that ever could have happened was retaining Darin to represent us.

Meeting Darin Rich was one of the greatest things that had happened in my journey, buying my first house. Darin is a very professional, very detail oriented, experienced and mindful realtor. He used his experience/ knowledge and exerted 100% effort making this process less stressful and more enjoyable. Any time he observed a potential problem he quickly communicated it to me with transparency. He always provided viable alternatives to deal with whatever problem came across. Darin always had time to listen and answer questions/concerns, time to come and show properties which I greatly appreciated. I always felt strongly supported by him. When it comes to negotiations, he was on my side all the way. He is a great human being and I was so lucky to have him as my agent. I strongly recommended him as you realtor, you won’t regret!

Very positive! The sale of my dad's house was done long distance, and Darin did a super job, up to and including coming over to clean the house after the people who were hired to clean did a poor job. My dad had used him for the sale of a rental unit a few years earlier. Darin offered great advice and had a lot of contacts for getting needed work done. Darin was persuasive in getting me to spend $50,000 in a remodel of the house. Had I not done the remodel, the house might have sold for $250,000. Instead, with the remodel, it sold for $345,000. Pretty good return on the money. I don't have any more property for him to sell for me, but if I did, Darin would be the guy. Very pleased with him. -Bill B

Darin is an amazing real estate agent! He is extremely hardworking and puts his clients needs above any commission or fees. When looking at homes, Darin selected homes that were in the area and price range that I was looking at, rather than waste time going for a big sale. If I needed any additional information from another agent or specifics on a property, Darin was able to get it to me very quickly and had great insight on the local market and what to look for within a home. During the negotiation and closing process, it was Darin's expertise that enabled us to get the number we were looking for and was there every step of the way. I felt like Darin was representing our needs as buyers, and not his agency or even the sellers needs (which has happened to me on a few occasions.) Darin is an exceptional realtor on all levels! -Curtis F

When I hired Darin, I hired a realtor professional that I felt I could trust. I needed advice on how to price my property so it would sell, what upgrades to the property would help get it sold and which were not necessary, and to guide me through a number of legal aspects of selling a house. Darin never wasted my time or trust. I felt he always had my best interests at heart. I always felt he gave me wise advice. When he said he would follow through on any aspect of the sale, he did so promptly. He kept me advised on every aspect of the process. For me, trust is hard to earn and easy to lose. Darin never lost my trust. I believe you will be equally pleased when you hire Darin.

Darin is the type of guy who calls you after the sale just to say hello. My wife and I met Darin years ago and when it was time to sell our house we interviewed him. He was nice and very down to earth so we hired him. He told us what to do to get our house ready for sale and together we agreed on a price. 6 days later the house had a very strong offer on it $2000 above asking price. Then our search for our new house began. Half way through we had a falling out with our banker and Darin really stepped up. In days we had a new banker and were told what to do to fix the problem. Now very behind with only 5 weeks to closing on our house Darin showed us the house we wanted. He never showed us houses we could not afford and was very mindful of the things we needed. the house was exactly what we asked for. Now the offer, he showed us ways to write the contract to insure we would get it. He also worked out things with our new owners so we would not have to live in a hotel and everything worked out.

I've had the opportunity to work with Darin twice now, once to assist me in renting out my Condo in Germantown, and then to assist me and my spouse locate a home to rent in the Silver Spring area. What impressed me about Darin was his efficiency in handling both rentals, along with his constant communication throughout the process. The latter was a very comforting as I was always made aware of the status of each rental. In this day and age, being kept informed from any type of service provider can be a challenge, but it is critical skill to maintaining good working relationships, and Darin exhibited this during both of our interactions. Last, I appreciate the committment he showed to me as his client. He makes you feel like he's got your best interest in mind, which I so appreciate. Needless to say, I look forward to working with Darin on future real estate needs.

Meeting Darin Rich was one of the greatest things that had happened in my journey, buying my first house. Darin is a very professional, very detail oriented, experienced and mindful realtor. He used his experience/ knowledge and exerted 100% effort making this process less stressful and more enjoyable. Any time he observed a potential problem he quickly communicated it to me with transparency. He always provided viable alternatives to deal with whatever problem came across. Darin always had time to listen and answer questions/concerns, time to come and show properties which I greatly appreciated. I always felt strongly supported by him. When it comes to negotiations, he was on my side all the way. He is a great human being and I was so lucky to have him as my agent. I strongly recommended him as you realtor, you won’t regret! -Ruty R

Working with Darin to sell our property while being across country was wonderful. He was very professional, hard working and always accessible (even with the time zone difference). Darin always had our best interest in mind and made sure that the process went easily and smoothly. He was our eyes and ears throughout the process and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. -B Saberi

Despite living on the other side of the country, Darin worked with me seamlessly to sell my townhouse. When it didn't sell during an abbreviated period in the quieter fall season, Darin was so committed to customer service that he even took on managing my property as a rental until the busier spring season. Lo and behold, after placing the house on the market in the spring, we got a fair offer within two days. Darin's honesty when I needed to hear it and ability to listen to my concerns made this transaction a pleasure. -Richard E

My family moved around quite a bit so we’ve had lots of experience working with realtors to buy and sell homes, and I have to say that, of all the ones we’ve worked with and met at the hundreds of open houses we had attended, that we really lucked out with Darin. He is a truly caring person, and is a great communicator. He listens well to what we have to say, and is very tactful/diplomatic in telling us what we must know, but might not want to hear. That is to say he is a very good negotiator. He is also a highly ethical person – he did not suggest we use certain tactics to buy our house that we had heard of from others and that we felt were iffy. I highly recommend Darin, whether you are selling or buying, and would be a return customer when it comes time for our next move. -Marie Q

Darin was fabulous!! Extremely knowledgeable and professional!! He was very responsive through email, text, phone calls! He walked me through the whole selling process step by step always offering sage advice! He is very approachable and will answer any and every question - if he doesn't know the answer he will find it quickly and follow up immediately! He continually gave me updates and fought for me when needed. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Darin Rich!! -Diane T

Darin Rich has not only been my family's realtor but also a very good friend. He cares about you and your future. His knowledge in real state is invaluable for a first time buyer or seller. He will take the time and explain all the aspects of selling/buying a new property. He will give realistic opinions and keep you grounded. Best experience ever! I recommend him 110%!! -Danny C

Darin has helped our family to both buy a home and sell a home. I interviewed 4 Real Estate Professionals. Darin was by far the most responsive to all requests for information and opinions. He gave us very practical information about what repairs to make, when to put the house on the market and how much our asking price should be. We had many interested buyers look at the house and we sold it for more than the asking price. I highly recommend Darin as a Real Estate Professional. I would recommend him to anyone interested in buying or selling a home. -Nancy J

I had the best experience with Darin selling my house. He gave me great recommendations about the pricing and what I need to do to get the best price for the house. He has sold my house in 2 weeks at the asking price. Darin has a very effective marketing system. He works very hard for his clients and keep clients informed about the potential buyers and the market place in your area. You will be very pleased if you hire him! -Tatiana A
