Tara of the Dar Walden Team was fantastic to work with from start to finish. She went above and beyond, even staying on top of things while she was on vacation in Hawaii to make sure I could still close by my expected date. While she was away, her team did a great job showing the property and answering questions, so nothing stalled. When Tara got back, she jumped right in, moved quickly, and suggested smart strategies I hadnt considered that helped me secure the property. Shes a strong negotiator and guided me through the entire process with clear advice and steady communication, always keeping my interests front and center. What stood out most was her professionalism and genuine care for getting the right outcome, not just closing a deal. The team as a whole was wonderful to work with, and Cayley was especially helpful coordinating transactions and providing important documents. Dar Walden is a great group of professionals, and I would absolutely recommend them to friends or anyone looking for a sharp, reliable real estate team.

Words are a feeble attempt to express our gratitude towards Melissa. She was our eyes on the ground since we were not local. She was prompt and went above and beyond to find homes that fit our wants and needs. Her honesty and feedback as she looked at homes was invaluable in our decision. When it came time for offers and inspections, she gave great insight, kept us promptly informed of all updates, and showed up to every thing that we couldnt be there for. Thank you for making us feel like friends and not just a business transaction!

I'm new to the home buying process. Alexis impressed me with her attention to detail. She asked all the right questions to be sure she could find the right place to accommodate my needs and wishes. Her background in design gives her a keen eye for aestheticsaEUR"she sees potential in properties that others might miss. On the practical side, apparently she's owned several homes and is well-versed in what to look for (and avoid!) in the home buying process. That gives me a sense of confidence. I look forward to finding my first home with Alexis' help. Highly recommend, especially for first-time buyers.

My husband is in the military and we were moving to Anchorage for his PCS. We found Dar Walden online and the reviews convinced me to submit an inquiry. Melissa with Dar Walden reached out shortly after and I could tell from the initial phone call meeting how much she prioritized understanding exactly what we wanted and what our ideal looked like for our lifestyle. She was confident, communicative, incredibly informed on the market, and a wonderful asset for us to have while we searched for a home and were out of state. I have purchased two homes before working with Melissa- she was by far my favorite real estate professional that I have worked with. Her work ethic was shocking - she made herself available to see properties as quickly as possible and was so generous with her time. She was a joy to work with and gave us so much effort and kindness. Request a phone call consultation with Melissa if you are military, new to the area, or want someone that recognizes trends and works incredibly hard for you. Youll know shes the girl for you after 5 minutes. Then she will prove it every time you talk after that, even after you close on the house.

Kyrsten helped us sell our first home and within just a few days of it being listed! She was always quick to respond with any questions we had. She ensured the transaction went smoothly and eased all of our concerns. We will use her again in the future and would highly recommend working with her!
