Exceptional Realtor Darlene McWilliams: A True Professional in Every Aspect I had the pleasure of working with Darlene McWilliams during my recent home buying experience, and I must say that she exceeded all expectations in every aspect of her role as a realtor. Darlene's exceptional knowledge of the local area and her deep understanding of the home buying process truly set her apart from the rest. From the moment we started working with Darlene, it was evident that we were in expert hands. Her guidance and expertise were invaluable as she navigated us through each step of the home buying process with ease and confidence. Darlene's negotiation skills were nothing short of amazing; she was able to secure a deal that exceeded our expectations, all while ensuring that our best interests were always the top priority. What truly stood out about Darlene was her commitment to making the home buying process as smooth, easy, and seamless as possible. She was always available to answer any questions we had, provide sound advice, and address any concerns that arose along the way. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to her clients are truly commendable. I have no doubt that without Darlene's expertise and guidance, our home buying experience would not have been as successful or as stress-free as it was. I would not hesitate to work with Darlene again in the future, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in search of a top-notch realtor. If you are looking to purchase a home and want a seamless and enjoyable experience, Darlene McWilliams is the realtor you need by your side.

Darlene and her team showed the utmost experience in professionalism throughout the entire process of selling our home. I can't say enough about the rewarding experience... As a 1st time home seller, the team guided us through the necessary steps to prepare the house/property for sale, we learned so much through the staging experience (as Darlene is a top notch asset in that field). Her team guided us through the entire process, assisted us with reputable references that ranged from the best electrician, handymen, and so on...to get the necessary work completed. The team was always available and made themselves available for answers, updates, or concerns that we had throughout. I feel with had the best of the best Industry wide, and the total experience made me feel like this was a total TEAM effort. The team should be applauded for going above and beyond. What a great choice we made!

Darlene is the epitome of class and professionalism. She helped close a deal with an extremely difficult buyer. She was persistent, professional, and tactful in her strategy. She walked us through the selling process every step of the way. She always made herself available to answer our calls and texts. She marketed the house with beautiful professional pictures, did an excellent job highlighting the positive aspects of the house, and held an open house with a line going down the block. As a result, we received multiple offers and the home was sold for over asking! She has a top notch team of professionals that also helped us secure a rental in a highly desirable area during a highly competitive rental market. Thank you so much, Darlene! You're the BEST!

Darlene McWilliams is an extraordinarily talented realtor. The depth and breadth of her knowledge about every aspect of real estate marketing and negotiating is amazing. Almost more important, however, is her expertise in navigating the complex interactions required to get to closing! She successfully solved a variety of inspection, legal, and financing challenges with sophisticated diplomacy. Darlene has assembled and trained a fantastic team of professionals who, like her, truly care about her clients and support them expertly throughout the process. I highly recommend Darlene McWilliams because of her comprehensive approach to every facet of the real estate process, and because of her personal dedication to her clients!

Darlene is the consummate professional- responsive, very knowledgeable about the market, easy and fun to work with and presses forward at all times to sell your home without being pushy or off putting. Darlene is also a gifted stager- after she staged my home I felt like I was living in a five star hotel :)
Darlene has won many real estate awards and they are all well deserved. I made an excellent choice with Darlene and highly recommend her as a realtor.

My name is Rosalind Green, Darlene was referred to me by my mechanic Nemrod at Netherwood repair in Plainfield NJ. Darlene is very compassionate, caring, and professional. Although the actual transaction took place in 2021, I began working with Darlene in 2017. I lived in my home for 18 years and loved my home, neighborhood, and all the conveniences it provided to me as a homeowner. But I deeply desired to live nearer to my mom and sister in Florida. Darlene was very understanding and patient with me. In addition to my reluctance to letting go, 2017 was not a favorable market for me to sell. Unlike some agents that only want sales, Darlene cared about me to get the best deal ever do we took the house off the market. 2021 I contacted Darlene to list my home again. Darlene worked with me to prepare my home to get the best deal I could imagine. I trusted Darlene I took all the advice Darlene gave me. Darlene is very knowledgeable of all aspects of her field and the legal aspects as well. When I became overwhelmed, Darlene like a true angel encouraged and supported me. I felt like I teamed up with a close friend to tackle a project and received excellence as a result. Darlene always looked like the Super Star she is but is humble and graceful. We were able to list at $50k over and received $50k over that amount. I feel Darlene was God-sent just for me. I pray the God continues to bless Darlene beyond her greatest imagination.

It is with great pleasure to write this letter to commend the outstanding service provided by Darlene McWilliams of the Keller Williams Elite Realty group. Having recently accepted an offer for a new role across country, my family and I had a short time to sell our house and relocate. We were referred to Ms. Darlene through a family member. After less than twenty-four hours of formal introductions, Ms. Darlene immediately commenced the task of getting the house on the market. Being a perfectionist, Ms. Darlene’s team is made up of well-rounded, knowledgeable, and passionate professionals who reflects her values and work ethic. Her marketing team comprised of a videographer and photographer showcased our house beautifully including aerial views of the surrounding community.
After completing the market research, Ms. Darlene was strategic in the amount we should list the property at. Within less than four hours we had showings lined up for the week and an offer within forty-eight hours. Some may say it’s because of external factors pertaining to the current market landscape, but I am sure that the successful sale of our home was due to Ms. Darlene McWilliams’ work of a realtor par excellence.

Choosing Darlene as our realtor was the best decision we made during this process. She is very personable and her marketing IQ helped us both sale and buy a house during a time in which our original realtor could not. She alleviated a lot of the stress and frustration that comes along with selling a house, by expertly guiding us through the whole process. Darlene McWilliams was an absolute pleasure to work with.

Anecdotally, we have all heard stories of those who posted their homes for sale by owner and sold their homes in a matter of days. In our real world selling a home was a complicated challenge that was made so much better when we partnered with a top-notch realtor. From day one, Darlene McWilliams met with us, developed a strategy, and got to work. From advice on what made sense to make the home more appealing to using professional marketing tools to drawing on her extensive years of experience and networking, Darlene was a positive force working on our behalf. Throughout the process Darlene was always encouraging and realistic. Selling is indeed a process. Darlene personally conducted numerous open houses while at the same time hosted even more private viewings. Throughout, Darlene was always available and extremely helpful and upbeat sharing her ideas. When COVID-19 struck and sent everyone into a sense of despair, we pretty much gave up on the idea of selling the house. Undaunted Darlene adhered to every precaution and managed to not only show the house, but she actually sold our home. As we were out of town at the end of the sale, Darlene went so far above and beyond; she not only handled all house-related issues, but helped us ready the house for inspection and transfer. If you are looking for a realtor whom you can trust and enjoy a great relationship, Darlene must top your list.

I will always recommend Darlene McWilliams


Darlene is a superb realtor who helped me sell my home years ago. I was very ill at the time and had used three other realtors prior. I was only able to sell my home after hiring Darlene. She rolled up her sleeves and took charge. When one is sick, you need someone who is professional and trustworthy. That is why I will always recommend Darlene McWilliams.

Just want to say Thank You... Again!


I bought my house November 8th 2013. Realtor, Darlene McWilliams made my dream of owning my first home come through. I was introduced to "Aunt Darlene" and immediately, she became a part of my family. After looking at few houses we found the perfect house for me. She is experienced, caring, patient, and most of all loving. I would recommend her to anyone that is in the market for a home.

I can't thank you enough, you have been a wonderful blessing to me.

Love always,
Abby

Darlene was the best broker I could have asked for...


Without Darlene McWilliams' ongoing support and encouragement, I would not have sold my home. In the post-recession error, I was faced with a difficult situation -- sell my home as a short sale. Unlike a normal home selling experience, a short sale involved additional hurdles that made the process challenging. Darlene was the best broker I could have asked for. She ensured that the home was on multiple listing sites, had several open houses that were well staged, and worked with other brokers to keep my home top-of-mind. After the first 2 deals fell through, Darlene remained optimistic and vigilant. She promptly addressed the myriad of requests made by my bank and my attorney. She served as a peace maker and effective negotiator when the circumstances became tricky. Darlene kept me abreast of the situation and truly helped put me at ease throughout the entire two years that it took for the short sale to go through. I am grateful for the excellent service she provided during such a challenging circumstance.
