"We just completed our second transaction with Darren. First buying a home and now selling a home and we did not hesitate to call Darren back. Darren is one of the best communicators I have worked with anywhere. He actively listens to your needs and asks very thoughtful questions to help you work through your needs, goals and concerns. He is incredibly knowledgeable and up to date in all areas. The list goes on. I can tell you the at not only is he a great partner to have in the real estate business, he has become a friend. We will continue to stay in touch and certainly work with Darren again in the future. I can not say enough about the entire team we worked with. Thank you!."

"My husband and I first "met" Marcie through a postcard that arrived at our home in Marbella. We were looking for a property to purchase in a 1031exchange. Then COVID 19 hit with all the restrictions that made normal activity in real estate sales impossible. Marcie worked effectively with our agent up north, monitoring the extended process due to so many contingencies.With her wonderful help, we finally got it all done. She is efficient, knowledgeable, and diligent, and really has a heart for her clients..."

"Darren and his team were fantastic to work with. Darren is responsive, proactive and highly knowledgeable. What I liked the most was that he and his team go above and beyond to get questions answered. We had a short close time and Darren helped me get through with that without any stress. The best part about him and his team is being prompt in responding. I would absolutely recommend him and I hope I can get to work with him again."

Everyone was super communicative, always answering us in a timely manner and going above and beyond to make sure we were always in the loop about the process going on. They were our biggest supporters and truly cared about us and what was best for our family."

Behind it all is a perfect 5.0 rating from nearly 200 client reviews.
Darren is the founder of the Shepherd Real Estate Team at Compass, serving all of Orange County with deep roots in Mission Viejo, Lake Forest, Rancho Santa Margarita, Ladera Ranch, and San Clemente.
