Darren was great to work with! Been working with him for awhile. Darren asked all my details and came up with a solution to get me no money down while I make a relocation to SC. This was an option I never even considered. When I found the right house his team was able to make it happen! It was a smooth process and so needed as I’m relocating to SC and to have peace of mind is priceless!
