The Real Estate World has Changed
In this new world of Real Estate it is important that you hire an agent that has handled short sales and bank owned homes. They really are not intimidating issues as long as your agent knows what they're doing and how to resolve the issues that can arise from them. Experience, knowledge and patience are the key ingredients to a successful closing.
Certifications and Recognitions
I bring to the table over 15 years of accounting experience (mostly in the Construction Industry). I have handled Receivables, Collections, Payables, Cost Analysis, Auditing and General Ledger. My passion for Real Estate began in 2002. I have consistently studied, on a daily basis, the trends of Real Estate. The time has been extremely joyous for me and the research has been like leisure time. I learned new ways of seeing things with an Investor's eye. Real Estate is truly my passion.
I am a Member of the National, State and Regional Association of Realtors. I am also a GRI. A Graduate Realtor Institute designation is the real estate industry hallmark. Only Realtors who successfully complete more than 90 hours of comprehensive training can be called a GRI.
Call me today! Allow my passion and love for Real Estate to assist you with your home purchase or sell. It would truly be an honor for me to help you find or sell your home.
Specialization
I specialize in single-family homes and income or investment properties in Seminole and Volusia County in the Beautiful State of Florida.
Personal
I have lived in the Central Florida area since 1994. I was born in a Navy Hospital in Virginia and my youth was blessed with a Ret. Lt. Cdr father and centered around church and family. I'm the youngest of 5 daughters. I'm proud to say my parents recently celebrated 60 years of marriage. I have a son out of college and my husband is a Ret. Navy Chief. Current hobbies of mine include spending time with my Family, Sunning and Traveling.
On this website, you may find a few accolades. The things through time I've been advised are important when choosing a Realtor. I received my license in 2006 and write introduction over ten years later. A very long journey.
I write to let you know that I don't want to sell you a house. Do you have any idea what it's like for someone like me to "sell" you a house? It can be a really awful experience if the customer isn't first. Can you imagine a Realtor saying this?
If my gain is the only reason for the transaction, it can't work for me. I don't want to sell you a house. There are a lot of people who will though.
What I want is to help you find your home. The place you can walk into and see your family smiling and laughing. A place providing peace and joy. Where you can see your Christmas Tree and Thanksgiving Dinners.
A place where you can plant your garden, no matter how small. A garden that fills you with delight if ever you peer outside. A place where you're not towed down with debt, creating a slow prison. A place where there's peace for you and your loves. A beautiful, fantastic future can be seen.
I don't want to sell you a house. I have discovered, my passion is not being a "titled" Realtor. The plaques on my wall don't make me smile the way they use to. My passion and drive are not discovered in my statistics anymore. I've slowly discovered what it is about this "house thing" that is really making me happy.
My passion is to help guide you. Guide you to a place where only people bringing peace are allowed to enter. Your sanctuary. Your beautiful treasure. The place you call Home.
"Liz was extremely helpful and always available when we needed her to show us homes or get answers for us. She went above and beyond several times."
Buyer
"It was such a pleasure meeting you. You really ended up being the nicest one of all the people I dealt with. Everyone was so friendly on the phone, but not that great in person. You were great on the phone and in person. I want to thank you for coming to the closing with me. I really appreciate it. I can see you are there for your customers and that is a great thing. I felt like you were my attorney. LOL My daughter is absolutely ecstatic about the new place and it really is very nice. I drove to her school from the apartment and it was literally a 4 minute drive so it was perfect. Again thanks for all your help and I will definitely refer you to anyone I know looking for a place in the area. Thanks for helping things go smoothly and just being there every single time I needed you and for really handling everything like it was for yourself. You are the BEST realtor I've ever dealt with for real."
Buyer
"Liz Darnell took the time to get to know me, understand my needs and make sure that I saw property that really hit the mark with me. She was patient, understanding quickly what was a match for me. I am a picky buyer that causes real estate agents to pull out their hair, so these words from me are especially meaningful given that I'm not an easy client. Liz knew before I did which property I would end up with, but she was savvy enough to let me reach the same conclusion without her 'hounding me' on the topic. She represented me exceptionally well through the negotiations and closing phases of the purchase and I will recommend her quickly and often to all those that I encounter who need the best in real estate representation."
Buyer
"Liz was very good about daily contact and keeping me informed through every step of the process. I feel she went above and beyond the normal responsibilities of a real estate agent."
Buyer
"Liz was wonderful. This was the first time we had purchased a home and had lots of questions. Liz promptly answered each question and guided us through a flawless closing. I could not have asked for anything more. She spent time with us looking at homes and even went to see several that we had not pre-scheduled to view. Again I cannot say enough good things about Liz and our dealings with her."
Buyer
"This is the 4th time I purchased a home. I have never ever gotten such wonderful treatment from a Realtor like I did from Liz. She made me feel so comfortable and just got back to me immediately and was just available for me every single time I needed her. I dealt with her only on the phone until the date of closing and I felt like I've known her for years. She went to closing with me and I felt she was my attorney! She asked all the right questions and I felt she was there to protect my best interests. It was GREAT! I can't thank her enough."
Buyer
"Liz went above and beyond for us. She treated us as family and went out of her way. We moved from out of state and couldn't always be here to deal with house issues. Liz would step in and take care of it all. Calling us along the way and doing what she could to make everything perfect."
Buyer
"Liz to me did more than just her job! She explained everything so I'd understand. Not only did she help with this house I feel she taught as we went. She was really great!"
Buyer
"Liz was an absolutely wonderful agent. Her friendliness and professionalism were ideal, and her attentiveness and prompt response was greatly appreciated. I'd recommend her to anyone!"
