The Shepherd Real Estate Team eXp Realty

I am so happy with my decision to choose the Shepherd Real Estate team @ Compass to represent me during this big transition. My situation was complicated and time sensitive and I needed my home sold in a specific amount of time. The team got the job done! They were always so responsive and transparent and they honestly did not cause me any extra stress throughout an already high stress transaction. I appreciate them seeing me through this emotional time of my life and having to sell my home, but I'm glad to have partnered with them and will definitely use the Shepherd Team again when it's time to buy.

Darren helped us buy our first home six years ago, and just recently we sold that home and purchased our second (all in Orange County). His expertise and knowledge is unparalleled; we will work with him every time we need a realtor, no question. His team is excellent, always a step ahead of us and anticipating all scenarios with a plan ready. Thank you, Darren!

Working with Darren Shepherd and Dakoda Baca has been an incredible experience from start to finish. We first worked with Darren back in 2021 to buy our first home, and when our growing family was ready for a larger property with a bigger yard in early 2026, reaching back out to him was an easy choice. He came over to our house, walked us through exactly what to work on to get it ready to list, and immediately helped kick off the search for our next chapter. Both Darren and Dakoda poured countless hours into our journeyaEUR"sending listings, setting up private showings, and touring properties with us over several months. In a highly competitive price range where we were constantly up against multiple offers, their dedication never wavered. They actually got our very first offer accepted, but when we realized it wasnt the right fit and decided to back out, they supported us completely. We kept searching until we found "the one" that checked every single box, and Darren and Dakoda went to bat for us to secure the winning offer. Beyond helping us buy, they also worked tirelessly to get our first home sold, and we just closed escrow! Throughout the entire process of buying and selling simultaneously, they were insanely responsive via text, call, and email, keeping us updated on every detail. We cannot thank Darren and Dakoda enough for their hustle, patience, and commitment to getting our family into a home we truly love.

Jerry did a fantastic job finding the right renters for our property. He kept us informed every step of the way. Could not be more pleased with the experience.

Darren and his team (Dakoda) have been absolutely wonderful throughout this entire journey of making our dream of owning a home in Orange County, California, a reality! Their support, guidance, responsiveness, and professionalism have meant so much to us. We had been waiting for years for this moment, and Darren helped make it happen! We truly couldnt have done it without him and his amazing team. We are incredibly grateful for everything theyve done and for helping us finally achieve our dream. Thank you again, Darren, for all your hard work, dedication, and support. We highly recommend Darren and his team to anyone looking for people who genuinely care and go above and beyond!
