Working with Darius was great. He is very knowledgeable about first time home buyer programs, ranging from aid offered by the city to different mortgage products. Darius is very personable, which was very important to me as a first time home buyer with no prior knowledge of the home buying process. Darius always answered all my questions promptly and was always available when I needed him. He was is very professional and tries to make this process as easy as possible for his clients. With his help, I was able to purchase a very nice home in a short amount of time . I am glad I used Darius as my agent and I would recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home.
