It was great working with Dar Walden and her team! They
went above and beyond when it came to helping us sell our property. We were
selling our property from out of state and Dar made the process as painless as
possible. We had a number of things that we had to fix on our property before it
was ready to sell - Dar and her team worked with us every step of the way to
make sure things were done correctly and quickly. Dar wasn't just our agent,
she was like a friend. If you work with Dar, you can trust that she will be on
your side. Audrey & Cecelia
I have bought and sold over 40 properties over the years.
Dar has been the best agent I worked with...best because of price, speed and
smoothness of closings. I tried to unsuccessfully to sell a property for several
months (Folker St) and then hired Dar to sell it...she listed it for almost 10%
more and sold it in less than 2 weeks...my second property which I listed with
Dar was sold at asking price in an incredibly short time also (don't recall
time line, but my memory is that it took only several weeks say, 3 to 6 weeks)
and it was sold at asking price and the transition was extremely smooth...all
done electronically with no glitches,and since I was out of state at all times
this made for a very stress free transition...additionally, I used Dar several
times for advice on potential acquisitions and rent issues for my then existing
other properties. Pat
Dar was very knowledgable about what was available
locally and what the fair market value was for our area. She was dependable and
easy to get in touch with. She was eager and enthusiastic to show me houses but
she was not too pushy. I had a great experience using Dar as my realtor. Alicia
After working with two other groups it was a pleasure to
deal with someone who exemplifies professionalism. My sale was part of a third
party corp relocation group with many departments all pursuing their
responsibilities (inspections, apprasials, septic, repairs, and apprasial). Dar
was able to coordinate all parties and keep what was certain to be a confusing
and stressful time for us down to a managable level with steady progress. Joe & Fontaine
Dar was my agent when I purchased my home in 2004. She
was excellent. When it came time for me to sell in 2012, there was no question
who I'd select. Most of the buying and all of the selling happened while I was
out-of-state, so I relied on Dar and her team to take care of many details that
I would have otherwise done myself. They went the extra mile on many occasions
and their recommendations were well thought out. I've seen Dar on both sides of
the equation--she represented me when I purchased my home and when I sold
it--and I highly respect and recommend her. Lisette
When Joleen and I chose the Dar Walden Team to represent
us in selling our Anchorage home, we had talked with 4 other agencies previous.
We got the same old song and dance routine from those agents about what we
needed to do. They all wanted us to put our home on the market at below
appraisal so they could 'guarantee' us a sale. Because of this we hesitated on
listing our house. Dar Walden was eventually recommended to us by a friend as
someone we could trust to get the most from our investment. Without question I
can happily say the Dar Walden Team got the job done and in a most timely
manner! Michael & Joleen
Dar and her team accomplished an awful lot for us! With
the blending of our families, we had two smallish houses to sell and another
larger one to buy. Dar provided excellent advice on staging our home and
through the home inspection process. It worked like a charm! My wife's house
sold in three days and mine in three weeks. She appropriately managed our
expectations and advised a marketable sales price. When both houses were in
contract, she said she had the perfect house for us. She was right. She got to
know us and our needs and found the right house at the right price for us. We
highly recommend them and will be using the team for out next sale. Mike
Me and my husband are both military and were stationed in
Anchorage from 2006-10. Not knowing the area or realators, we went with the
first person we met. Not exactly the most scientific way but in the long run it
worked out the best. Knowing we were under a time crunch for looking at houses,
she took what we wanted and managed to find an exact house within 2 days. She
is so good at her job that the house was ready and the keys in place so the
last night on our drive from Oklahoma we could go directly to the house. She
did so amazing with the buying of the house, we went thru her to sell the house
as well. We knew it was not going to be a fast selling house. She was patient
and very knowledgable when it came to pricing, upgrading, and staying in
constant contact with us after we moved out of the state. During the selling of
the house, she once again was very helpful since we were not in the state. Dar
Walden is very helpful as a realtor whether you are in the state or not and
being in the military this is a huge advantage. Erin
Dar is an experienced, enthusiastic expert in her field.
I sold my house in 2009. I had complete trust in her ability and willingness to
help me navigate the ups and downs that inevitably occur during the sales
process. Dar was always available by office or cell phone and she made me feel
that any question or problem was an important one. When I am asked by friends
or coworkers for a referral, I always pass on Dar's contact information. She
conducts her business with the utmost integrity and impressive results. I plan
to use the Dar Walden team for any future real estate transactions. Connie
As a local home builder and developer, Dar Walden and her
team have helped me negotiate purchases and sales of new and existing homes and
vacant land. They are professional and well respected. They work extremely hard
to represent the best interest of their buyers and sellers equally. As one of
the top agents in the area, they have the knowledge, experience, contacts, and
resources that are essential to my business and to any individual in the real
estate market, whether it be a purchase or sale. Alicia T.
Approximately two years ago when property sales were
relatively slow Dar and her team successfully and rapidly found us a new home
better suited to our current needs. Almost immediately after they sold our old
home. During the selling period we were out of State for several weeks with
limited communication. This did not slow down the process of selling as Dar
found methods to be in touch with us and keep things moving ahead. We feel this
prevented the loss of a sale. The work of Dar, Ed and the entire staff was
highly professional and we felt they went out of their way to avoid problems
and direct and accelerate both processes. Were we to need a realtor
in the future we would immediately contact Dar and Ed Walden.Russ & Donna
The realtor in S. Cal. who sold my brothers home there
recommended Dar Walden to me here in Anchorage, AK. Dar Walden is highly
regarded even outside of Alaska. Working with Dar Walden was a positive
experience, they were always available for advise/suggestions. As my home was
more than 45 years old, lots of work was required to bring it up to current
code. Just days prior to sale we found two bedroom windows had to be replaced,
a little to small to meet code. The Dar Walden staff came up with a contractor
that was able to do the job in just days and at reasonable cost. Because of
their expertise the sale was concluded and we met the buyers schedule. Thanks. Hugh K.
We retained Dar and
her team to sell our Condo. She was excellent in every aspect of the sales
process. According to Dar, we had more offers that fell through before we
finally sold the condo than any other sale she had worked on. She helped us
work through issues with our condo association. She was very knowledgeable on
the various loan programs and helped they buyer find the right loan. She was
outstanding in keeping in touch and making sure we were "in the
loop". We were impressed enough that we have passed her name along to all
our friends and family that are looking at buying or selling. Michael &
Leslie J.
Dar and her team have
managed three transactions for me and my family - selling my mother's home, my
home and assisting with the purchase of our current home. Dar and her husband
provided exceptional service - available at any time to answer questions,
providing information and resources as needed, and making sure that every part
of the selling and purchasing process went smoothly. When it is time to sell
our current home, we will be calling Dar! Pat & Rob S.
Dar has the rare and
unique ability to balance a genuine, friendly personality with the drive and
focus it requires to be a real estate professional. She's so enjoyable to work
with and yet she gets the job done with the highest level of professionalism.
Her expertise and skill as a real estate professional is unmatched by any of
her competitors. I could not recommend Dar as high as she deserves. Trish S.
