Darlena is AMAZING. She listened to what I was looking for and what I needed and the tome frame to which I needed it. She was always responsive and quick and answered any and all questions right away. She never made me feel rushed, or made me feel like I was bothering her and took the tome to explain the process to me when asked. I would recommend her to anyone and if I am crazy enough to move again, I will contact her!

This is the second time I have had the pleasure of working with Darlena on a home sale/purchase and I could never work with anyone else in Illinois. Her replies are incredibly fast, she is quick in her thinking and incredibly organized. Beyond that, she has a heart and actually cares about her clients and does her best to go above and beyond in difficult situations. If you need a realtor, you would be making a big mistake not going with Darlena!

Darlena helped us sell our house and took the time and effort needed to purchase a home that we loved. During a sellers market, we had a hard time finding a home as they were put on contract the first few days on market. Darlenas knowledge and experience in real estate provided us with a wealth of resources. Even when we encountered issues getting mortgage approval, Darlena knew what the next steps would be and who to talk to. Darlena will stand by you throughout the entire process. We highly recommend Darlena when choosing a realtor to sell your home or find your forever home!

We recently purchased a home with the help of Darlena Campos, and we could not be happier with how smooth the process went! Darlena really focused on ensuring we knew what to expect and when, demystifying what can be a complicated ordeal. We felt confident and competent thanks to her guidance. Darlena's incredible knowledge and rapid responsiveness really made our home-buying process easy!

In mid February the house across the street from my parents house went up for sale. I decided to reach out to a loan officer to see if I could get approved for a home loan. I was given Darlenas information as I had not yet connected to a realtor. I am a first time homebuyer and a mom of 3 so I was very nervous and had a lot of questions. From the first call with Darlena I felt I was in good hands. She was very confident and knowledgeable and very genuine and sincere. I really wanted this specific house but it had been on the market for a couple weeks and was already under contract. I let Darlena know about this as a reference for the kind of home I was looking for. Darlena could tell I was disappointed that I missed out on the house, and she suggested we still keep our eye on it just in case it becomes available again. We made an offer on the home even though it was under contract and Darlena continued to show me other homes that were of interest to me. Darlena was incredibly communicative. I really felt like I was working with a friend, someone I had known forever and someone who had my best interest at heart. I never felt like Darlena was pressuring me or that she was annoyed with my many questions. It was very apparent through the whole process that Darlena listened to me and my wants and my concerns and she always made me feel like I was her only client. I could always get in touch with her if necessary, but most times, she was already reaching out to me and texting or calling me. It really felt like a top tier experience. I also had the pleasure of working with Darlenas colleague Jacob. He showed my daughter and me a couple homes when Darlena was unavailable and we really enjoyed working with Jacob. Similar to Darlena, he was very genuine and sincere. It felt like a friend was showing us the homes and he and Darlena both really understood what we were looking for. We really appreciated Jacobs help and his opinion. He also made himself available anytime we wanted to see a home, sometimes with less than 2 hours notice. We ended up putting in an offer on a home and then after the inspection I panicked and realized it was not a good fit. Darlena was so understanding and totally on my side and she never made me feel bad about changing my mind. I ended up getting a call from Darlena that the house I originally wanted was available again! We closed on the house 3/31!!! My children and I are as happy as can be and it really is all thanks to Darlena. I honestly could not say enough good things about Darlena Campos and the job she did for me. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. The whole process was so smooth and there were never any surprises. Darlena is really amazing and I am so thankful to her. She also has still been checking in on us to make sure everything is going well and she has helped with so many other resources. Darlena made the process as seamless as possible and I am forever grateful to her. If you or someone you know is looking to buy/sell a home definitely reach out to Darlena Campos!!!
