Testimonials

Randy and Daren were absolutely brilliant. We were referred to them by friends and they more than lived up to the hype. While everyone’s process will be different, we thought it would take many many months to find our home. Our process from start to finish took about 3 months and that included a previously planned vacation that we had on the books. Randy and Daren sat down with us to just meet and get to know us as a first step. We gelled immediately and within about a week they started sending us houses to consider. We did probably a dozen open houses before we found our dream home. We worked with them to put in a competitive offer and ultimately saved money by getting the house under the max level we had set for ourselves. Randy and Daren are more than real estate agents. They are good people who care about you as people and as a client. We would highly recommend checking them out AND then bringing them onboard. When we purchase our next property, we know who we’re calling.

We can’t recommend Randy and Daren enough! From day one, Randy and Daren made sure to understand what we were looking for in a home and were able to refine our search each outing based on what we liked and disliked in the homes we saw. They made the buying process understandable and were as committed to helping us find our first home as we were to finding the perfect house. Randy and Daren are responsive, knowledgeable and really the best choice you could make when looking to buy your next home.

As first time home buyers in a highly competitive market, it was extremely important to us to work with a real estate professional who was trust worthy and knew the DC landscape. We lucked out when got not only one, but two amazing agents in Randy and Daren.

They are knowledgeable, dedicated, receptive, and available - creating a home buying process that went beyond expectations. We had tried working with other agents prior who used high pressure sales tactics, but with Randy and Daren we found a partnership that was truly vested in what we needed. From the beginning to end, they took the time to listen to our needs, and worked as partners to find us our perfect home.

Additionally, we found that after years of experience in D.C., Daren and Randy have built a great team of experts around them- the home inspector did a phenomenal job, their lender was able to get us a better rate than our previous best offer, and the title company helped us with the closing process.

As we settle in, we look forward to welcoming good friends into our home- of those we now count Daren and Randy. If you are looking for real estate professionals who are not only experts, but great individuals, go with this team.

As a first time home buyer I was intimidated by the process. Working with Randy and Daren made it so much easier to navigate and understand the market. They were always available to show me listings, helped me to understand what was a good/reasonable price, and they made the whole process fun! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a new home!

Randy has helped me selling a condo and buying a new one. He was simply the best! I had interacted previously with two other realtors and I was not satisfied, but Randy actually goes above and beyond your expectations to make sure you receive a first class realtor service! He was genuinely helping me, my family interests were always his priority and I never felt rushed to make a purchase. I strongly recommend Randy to all friends and family, I will definitely contact him when in need of a realtor.

I love working with Randy and Daren - they make a great team. I was looking for a long time , almost 5 months and saw over 35 properties and the two of them were super patient and consistently finding me homes to explore. Both of them know the area extremely well and care about the district and want to make sure good ppl get good homes. Dont delay make them your agent!

I was so lucky to have Randy and Daren in my corner. I was a first time homebuyer and I don't think I could have done it without them both. Randy was always available to talk to me whether it were on the phone or by text. His knowledge of the lending process was like a cherry on top too.

Tandy and Daren epitomize a client-first approach to real estate with sage counsel and transparent thinking. I don’t honk selling our condo could have been any easier, and the price was what we wanted.

I was so fortunate to have found Randy to help me with the purchase of my first home. As my realtor he helped me find the right house, in the right neighborhood, for the right price. This search proved to be somewhat of a unicorn in the DC home buying market, but throughout the entire process Randy was extremely patient as we traveled around the district hunting for the right place.

Randy always acted in my best interests and did everything in his power to make my home purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about my experience was how focused he was on answering my questions, giving me sound advice, and finding a home that met my needs. He wanted the best for me, and his work ethic strongly reflects that. Also, when corresponding with other members of the Slate Properties team, I experienced overwhelmingly personable, professional, and knowledgeable interactions. I highly suggest reaching out to Randy for your home search and would recommend him to anyone.
