We’ve had the privilege of working with Darin on two consecutive sales and highly recommend him. FYI the single 1 star review “ups delivery guy” is from a neighbor of ours with sour grapes… Darin sold OUR house for more than we were hoping for, while neighbor who didn’t hire Darin didn’t sell. Darin created a bidding war on our house, in a totally dead real estate market. Instead of complaining, UPS guy should have hired Darin and his house would be sold too 😉

What an amazing team to work it! We were promised a couple months and weren't too hopeful to begin with considering how slow the market has been for sellers in BC atm. Darin and Adam worked tirelessly and got our home sold in 2 months! We truly appreciate their open and continuous communication, their marketing strategies and wanting the best for their client! Thank you again you guys, it has been a pleasure working with The Germyn Group!

My wife and I have personally dealt with Darin Germyn, and his team (The Germyn Group) on a number of occassions over the past 8+ years. We've had no less than eleven real-estate sales and purchases using his services, including both investment and personal property. Does Darin understand your needs? A resounding "Yes"! He asks the right questions and helps you understand the challenges of both home and investment ownership. Darin makes certain that your purchase is right for you. He also pre-qualifies prospective buyers to simplify and accelerate the sales process. Darin and the Germyn Group are our first choice. Always.

I actually met Darin and the Germyn Group when I was buying my home and noticed what a good job they were doing for the seller! After we settled in, I contacted Darin and asked for a copy of the detailed floor plan he had for our house and he was happy to supply them to me even though I wasn't a client of his. We switched realtors and now three years later The Germyn Group just sold that same house for us during a tough slow market.

The Germyn Group were very highly recommended to my mom by some friends, and we were so happy that we listed with them! Darin and Adam are consummately professional, friendly and approachable. They communicated with us every step of the process. They were so patient and kind with my mom, who is fairly elderly, and made her feel very comfortable and informed throughout. They had excellent photographers and all of the advertising was just amazing. They explained everything they were doing and we got updates and information constantly. The house sold in under 2 weeks, and we just can’t say enough good things about out them! We would definitely have them deal with any future real estate transactions and highly recommend them to anyone who wanted to sell or buy their home. You will be very well looked after.

Darin and his team have a deep understanding of the real estate market. They assisted us with upgrading, handling both the selling and buying of our home. From the beginning, they were always available and answered all my questions with complete honesty—no sugar coating, which I greatly appreciated. Their service is premium in every aspect, with decisions based on data rather than intuition. I provided my expectations and checklist, and they delivered flawlessly. If you need help with buying or selling a property, they are the ones to call. You won't be disappointed—their impressive performance and outstanding ratings speak for themselves.

I recently bought a condo through the Germyn Group. They have a awesome little course to help people learn some of the ins and outs of buying a place, which help me understand a lot of thing being my first time buying. They are also good at getting back to you with answers to any questions you might have as well as making everything informative and easy to understand along the way. There good standing in the relator community also helped me to get the condo I was looking at despite not being the highest offer. For someone thinking about buying there first home or even someone wanting to get back into the market whether it be Buying or selling I feel that you would have a great experience having the Germyn Group in your corner.

My husband and I used Darin and his team for both the sale of our old home and purchase of our new home. The team went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. I have bought and sold property about a dozen times over the years and this was the best experience so far. For me personally I found Darin and his team had additional features in their company that made the process much easier. They also got our home sold quickly in a tough market. I would recommend Germain realty without hesitation.

Fortunately, Darin, Adam, and Hayley are fantastic when it comes to dealing with stressed clients. We got a sense that they do care and make sure that all our questions were answered and never did I have to wait long for them to call me back. We highly recommend The Germyn Group. See for yourself.

I am thrilled to share my positive experience with the Germyn Group. Darin, Adam, and Hayley were tremendous! Darin and Adam thoroughly impressed me with their presentation. It was a no-brainer to hire the Germyn Group to sell my property. They demonstrated expertise in the South Surrey market and comfort with selling my product (a 55+ strata). They worked extrenely hard and delivered tremendous results. They sold within a week and got me a good price! Most of all they involved me in everything and kept my goals and best interest in mind. I recommend the Germyn Group to anyone who needs a realtor! I would happily hire them again in the future.

Darin is an excellent realtor! I wanted my place to be sold quickly as family needed my help and I had to buy another home in their area. He had photos done, listing up and running and an open house that weekend. I had 12 offers and it sold for 55k over asking, within a few short days. I was very pleased and he was very helpful with recommendations for moving and storage company. I would recommend Darin for anyone planning to buy. Also his partner Adam was available any time as well and very helpful. Thank you Darin and Adam!

I couldn't have done it without Darin and his team. Darin and his team were so professional. They were on top of every detail and took care of everything on time. Adam patiently took me from house to house, looking for the perfect property. Darin didn't get frustrated when none of them suited me. He just kept looking until he found the perfect place, and he personally made sure I saw it in time. We made the offer right away and the negotiations were done in one day. Darin and Haley were in constant communication with me, making sure I didn't miss any deadlines and had access to any information I needed. Darin also took the time to go over every detail of the contract with me and made me feel safe that nothing had been overlooked. Darin sees the big picture and he made sure so many things worked to my advantage. Darin allowed me to take all the time I needed when we were viewing the property and sent me drone shots so I could check out the roof before buying. He recommended excellent outside help for my mortgage, legal assistance and inspection. I love my new home and I am so excited to be moving. I couldn't have done it without Darin and his team.

They really helped me stick it out. I want to thank Darin and Adam for all the work they’ve done for us. Darin has been my guide since 2017 in all things real estate. My older townhome was part of a land assembly (using the strata's realtor) over the last 7 years. There have been many ups and downs with this property; selling and then not selling and then selling again (no exaggeration, it was terrible!). In the last year we have had the pleasure to meet Adam who has followed in Darin’s footsteps, giving us wonderful service with a very calm and friendly manner. They also gave me step-by-step instructions on what’s next and believe me I need that one on one attention as I have had problems with understanding most things about real estate. And in the last months I’ve met Hayley, the most wonderful helper of all time. She even taught me to add an attachment to emails. Hayley is a calm and caring person, especially to me who at 73 really needs help with most things.

Thanks to all of you for your understanding and attention to detail with the “what’s next” tips. From start and to almost finish I’ve been led wonderfully by these 3 great people. After 7 long years, I am excited to finally be moving into my new home. Thanks for your patience too!

We had a great experience working with the Germyn team for both selling and buying our new home. The team did a lot of the heavy lifting for us and made our experience seamless and stress free which was so important to us having two young children. The team took care of all the transaction details while keeping us informed along the way. I enjoyed the different formats (text, email, video, etc) of communication they used to keep us well informed and ready for the next steps. I would recommend the Germyn Group to anyone looking to sell or buy a home. This team understands great customer service and you will have an amazing experience working with this team.

Darin, Adam and Hayley - what a great team for our first home purchase during a really tough time ; both economic and personal. Darin started off the process by educating us about the kind of market we were entering and making sure our priorities were clear to them. Adam took over and helped us explore a lot of homes and had unbiased opinions. He always came prepared and only showed us homes that were keeping with our criteria and at every step it felt like there was no pressure. Along with Hayley’s help, they were always organized and I never once had to chase them for any information. Very professional and still felt like part of our family in helping us make this massive decision 🙂

I've sold various properties and had different agents, but Darin is in a class by himself! I will always use Darin for any transaction we can work on together. What sets him apart is his dedication/work ethic and his contacts. We needed to stage our home, he had companies to recommend. We needed small maintenance jobs done, he knew who could do it. We wanted to get to market quickly and with Darin's help we were on MLS 2 weeks after our first meeting. Wouldn't have been possible with anyone else, in my opinion. Then Darin sold our house 5 days later! He and his team take the business of real estate to the next level and really understand what customer service means. Thank you to The Germyn Group.

The Vancouver housing market nearly chewed us up and spat us out until we found The Germyn Group. I can’t say enough good things about Darin and his team. Before Darin we had another realtor whose service was underwhelming and bordering on nonexistent. As first-time homebuyers we had no idea what we were doing and had a million questions, so we decided find a new Realtor. Right from the start Darin was super responsive, immediately available for questions and ready with his power point presentation (we love a Saturday morning power point presentation. 10/10). His team is a well-oiled machine. Adam will make sure all your showings run smoothly and are well researched. He is also there to look for the things that you might not think of, so you have peace of mind that you are making an offer on a good property (and then provide a shoulder to cry on when your offer falls through). Sierra will make sure you are organized and don’t miss any important deadlines and if you are lucky enough Darin will give you a cake at the end when you successfully purchase a place (do not undervalue the person who gives cake). We can’t thank all three of them enough for saving us from certain failure and finding us a townhouse that we love.

We are so glad we decided to go with The Germyn Group to purchase our first property. Our first virtual meeting with Darin was very educative and informative. He passed us on to Adam for our search and wow, Adam is so knowledgeable and personable. Each time we went for open houses, Adam looked out for things that we wouldn't even care to look out for. He was always in a friendly mood. He took the search very personal and never made us feel pressured to purchase what we didn't want or like. We will definitely recommend their services to our friends and family, and we will be returning for future transactions.

Excellent professional service! Both Darin Germyn & Adam Howsam are very knowledgeable and provided all necessary information upfront. There collaboration centre software helped us do personalized property searches which helped us in shortlisting suitable properties easily. Adam coordinated visits and provided valuable insight during property visits. At time of offer preparation also they provided valuable insight about property valuation which help us in winning the bid and also saved us $$$. They also conducted in-depth review of condo papers and clarified all doubts before we finalized on property. Me, my wife and kids all are very thankful to Darin & Adam for helping us find our new home.

Darin and his team have been phenomenal throughout the sale of our house and purchase of our new home. Their sales strategies helped us to sell quickly and get us a price we never dreamt possible! They guided us through the entire process and made it so easy that it was nearly stress-free. More impressively, once we were in a position to buy, they armed us with all the right information at the right time so we could make the best decision possible. With their help, we were able to submit intelligent, competitive bids on the houses we liked and ended up securing a home we love on the second try! Anyone who was tried to buy a house in the lower mainland recently can attest to how crazy the market is and how difficult it is to win. But, Darin and his team made it look easy. If you want to buy or sell a home, Darin’s team are the right choice for the job. You will not be disappointed!

Darin and his team were highly recommended to us and we were glad to have hired him to represent and assist us in the search of our new home. Darin is professional and very knowledgeable of his trade and will have thought of everything, even if you haven’t. He excels at negotiating. Purchasing a home is a huge investment and uprooting of your entire life so it naturally comes with lots of emotions. But you can trust Darin and feel secure that he is looking out for you and your family’s best interests. Even long after your purchase is made, he and his team will check in on you and assist you if you need. Thank you Darin for making this process a success!

Stop your realtor search here! I came across Darin while looking for a realtor that was familiar with my area. I am so glad I did. He has helped me buy two homes and sell one, all during a hot market. I was worried I wouldn't be able to get a place, since sales were going so quickly. He was able to answer all my questions and had many insights backed with facts. I felt confident in securing my next home with up to the minute information and tools he provided. Darin with Adam and team were consistently available and always going above and beyond. Without hesitation I recommend Darin, Adam & team to get you sold or find the best new home for you.

Right then & there I knew he was the guy to sell my home! Darin & Adam are total PROFESSINALS! These guys will exceed all expectations, incredibly knowledgeable and always available to answer all my constant questions. They kept me perfectly in the loop as I wanted to be included.

We worked with Darin Germyn at MacDonalds Realty for the selling of our condo and the purchase of our new home this year. Darin and his team made the process easy and stress free. He took the time to answer all the little questions we had. He was very knowledgeable about current trends with staging and ways to optimize our home to sell, to get top value for it. The photos he took of our condo were so impressive! During the buying process Darin was very hands on, and presented us many options when shopping for our family home. The great service continued well after our purchase. We received updates from his team on school catchments and even local restaurants in our new area. With his extreme knowledge of real estate in the Lower Mainland combined with his past position as President of Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, Darin will find you your dream home! We definitely recommend Darin and his team.

Our experience with Darin to buy our first home exceeded all expectations! He is knowledgeable, honest, hard working and he always had our best interest in mind. He and his team handled our uncertainties and emotions (especially due to the pandemic) very well! We look forward to continuing working with him in the future and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in the Fraser Valley.

I have worked with other realtors and Darin and Adam definitely stands out from the pack. They work very well together and genuinely care about their clients. From the beginning to end, Darin and Adam displayed high level professionalism and extremely knowledgeable. Darin guided us through the process and gave us realistic feedback and expectations. Adam was also very helpful, he provided additional support, very organized, and followed-up with all the necessary paperwork. If you are looking for an experienced realtor team that goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Darin and Adam! Thank you!

My partner and I just finalized our first home purchase. Darin was fantastic throughout the entire process. He was extremely knowledgeable and diligent in answering our questions (which were a lot!) and he was always honest in giving us realistic feedback and managing expectations. When I was searching for a realtor, the key things I was looking for were market knowledge and integrity and Darin was able to exceed my expectations for both. I will not hesitate in contacting Darin again in the future.

Darin has been amazing to work with. Coming into this, it had been nine years since we last purchased a house and we're worried about finding a realtor that was knowledgeable, who we could trust and who had our best interests in mind. We found Darin through a recommendation of a friend and he exceeded our expectations. He was clear on the process, really listened to what we were looking for and kept us informed throughout. We never felt like he was pushing us for something that wasn't right. From selling to buying, it was smoother than I could have hoped for. I'd use Darin again and recommend him to anyone looking for a good realtor.

Being a first time home buyer, I was extremely thankful to have Adam and Darin by my side. From the very beginning Adam and Darin were able to help with reducing my stress of buying a home, and they were always more than patient. They never pressured us on any homes we didn’t like, and was always in contact when new listings came up that fit what we wanted in a home. We probably saw a good 50 homes before finding the right one, and each time Adam was more than happy to show us, and always showed up with positive vibes. Adam was always a phone call away if we had any questions about the process. Overall I had an amazing buying experience with Adam and Darin as my realtors, and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Darin and Adam are a terrific team and made the purchase of a home in the Surrey area a significantly easier process. I found both Darin and Adam to be knowledgeable and personal, and have no regrets in choosing them to be my realty team. After the purchase of my new home, both have continued to be available to me for follow-up questions and help. This extra step really set them apart from other realtors I have used in the past. I would encourage anyone to use their services, as I will be when I move again.

Selling our home with Darin was a great process. Although it was difficult at times Darin was there for us and helped us guide us though each process and step. In the end we got nearly full listing price with Darin’s guidance and help. We were so nervous signing an acceptance and playing the “back and forth” with price negotiation. I recommend him to sell your home as he is honest and spends the time educating you on the entire process and how it all works.

Another exceptional service! We have experience working with Darin in the past and based on that amazing experience, we decided to go with Darin again. Darin is the best realtor our opinion. He's very knowledgeable and reviews every paperwork thoroughly which is greatly appreciated. Selling a place in this current market is challenging, but Darin made everything easy for us. Darin did a great job in all aspects of the transaction. Stayed on top of communication with all the parties that were involved. We really appreciate your assistance and thank you so much for another job well done. If you're looking for a realtor, look no further! We highly recommend Darin. Go with Darin, and you’ll be glad you did! Sincerely, Ryan, Marvin and Marco 🙂

I was very pleased with the services of Darin Germyn. I interviewed 4 realtors and shortlisted 3. Darin's proposal came out on top against stiff competition. I was not disappointed. His team was very well organized and quickly followed through on their promises. Their brochure, virtual staging, marketing, contact with prospective buyer's agents, and price negotiations were all excellent. Darin and his team were accessible at all times. I had numerous showings which resulted in two offers in only two weeks. Considering the increasing number of listings, limited sales and slowing declining prices this spring in North Delta, I was most impressed. A SOLD sign went up within a month of the initial listing and the final price was within 1% of Darin's estimate and my initial expectation. Count me as a happy client.

We cannot speak highly enough of our experience with Darin. Being first time home buyers can be very nerve wracking however, working with Darin made us confident with our purchase. He maintained clear communication throughout the entire process, and made sure that all our questions were answered. His service definitely took the pressure off, even when entering into a multiple offer situation, he was able to guide us through the negotiation process, and gave us great advise on how to go about the situation. He knew exactly what we were looking for, was very responsive, and is always available when needed. We feel we have a trustworthy agent, as well as a friend! Anyone looking to purchase a home would be lucky to work with Darin. -Damon&Kern

We really enjoyed working with Darin. He is very personable but also very professional, even our dog loved him and we would be happy to recommend his services to others. We found working with Darin to be really easy. He was accommodating to our needs as sellers and walked us through the whole process, always taking time to explain aspects of the process that we had questions about. Darin and his staff seemed to always be available to us for whatever help we needed to sell our property. We were very happy with the results.

Darin was super attentive and approachable throughout the selling process. He and his assistant, Richard, kept me up-to-date with all enquires, showings and feedback from potential buyers. What I appreciated with Darin the most was his use of technology to ensure my property had an advantage. He used social media, 3D imaging, video updates and advertised on multiple realtor sites. He gave great advise and provided a high level of professionalism and expertise. I highly recommend him to anyone thinking of selling their home.

Recently we sold our property with Darin Germyn. He was recommended to us and our experience with him exceeded all expectations. From the first time we met him, his sincerity and undivided attention impressed us. He was always professional, although with a great sense of humor, and he had wonderful ideas about the best way to market our property. He answered all our questions and kept us regularly updated about progress. We ended up getting more than we thought with an accepted offer within 2 days. We cannot speak highly enough of Darin as he made the whole process very smooth with his calm, courteous manner, hard work and knowledge about the current real estate situation. We would absolutely use him again for any real estate transactions and would highly recommend him to anyone else looking to buy or sell. Thank you, Darin!

Boy are we happy we met Darin! After a really negative experience with another realtor we decided to interview 5 highly recommended agents before deciding on the one we could trust to sell our home. After that first meeting with Darin, the choice to have him sell our home was obvious. He was a step above the others and easily gained our trust from the very beginning. Darin is a true professional, he went above and beyond and is a clear leader in the industry. With the first realtor, our home had 0 showings after 28 days on market! Conversely, with Darin taking the reins, we had multiple showings and it sold for over asking after being on market for a mere 16 days! These results speak for themselves! He exceeded our expectations on every level from start to finish. If you are looking to be blown away by your realtor, then Darin is your guy. Darin has it all; from strategic marketing plans, exceptional presentation skills, great communication, his attention to detail, and his genuine personal touch. We highly recommend Darin and we will definitely use him again in the future.

I was a first time buyer and cannot say how fortunate I was to find Darin to represent me on such a daunting purchase. He was out of town when I first contacted him after finding my dream condo, but was nevertheless extremely accommodating in helping me arrange a viewing, walking me through the steps to make an offer, and finally submitting a fair offer that was accepted! Darin offered great advice, made all the steps very clear, and really took the time to make sure we did our due diligence properly. I feel confident about my new home, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Darin to anyone looking to buy or sell. Thank you, Darin!

Our experience with Darin was just fantastic. At the first visit to his office, he prepared a welcoming sign for us at the front desk and that made us feel very special to be there. This was our very first time using a realtor to purchase a home so we didn't really know what to expect. But from beginning to end, he was very approachable and also he didn't hesitated to give us any valuable information that we could've possibly missed. All the work was done very smoothly and professionally. When we struggled to make certain decisions, he guided us to get to where we wanted. We would definitely choose Darin again for his excellent service in the future and will recommend to anybody looking to sell/buy properties. Thank you again for all the surprises you gave us and we are already excited to work with you next time, Darin!

From start to finish, we had a positive experience buying our first home thanks to Darin Germyn. We met with Darin for his Educated Home Buyer’s Session and he patiently walked us through the process of buying a home. He took us to several listings and worked with us to find a home that checked off all of the boxes. Within a month of our first meeting, Darin got us an accepted offer at 6% below the asking price. In the weeks leading to completion and moving, Darin and his Client Care Coordinator, Tiffany, supported us in investigating financial and legal documents, setting up appointments and meeting with a home inspector and financial advisor, and liaising with the Strata Council. Throughout the whole process, Darin was honest, reliable and efficient. He was knowledgeable about the new rules and regulations and gave us sound advice. We appreciated the hard work and care Darin and Tiffany put into finding our first home and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. We wholeheartedly recommend Darin Germyn to help you with the purchase of your new home.

Darin has been my agent for over six years and has sold two properties for me and very recently helped me with the purchase of my condo. Having used his services three times in the past six years in itself speaks volumes. Darin is very passionate and energetic about everything he does. He is extremely knowledgeable, attentive to detail (really important) and very tech savvy which is essential in today's business environment. Something I really admire about Darin is that when he's not certain about something he'll say so and immediately go find the answer and get back to you. Above all, he is totally available to his client's needs and understands that buying/selling a home is a major event in a person's life. I would not hesitate to use Darin's services again in future and would highly recommend him to friends and family.

My wife and I were very pleased with Darin as our Realtor. We had used Darin when buying our town house 2 years ago and were in need of his services again for both a sale and purchase. Things had changed a fair bit in 2 years and Darin quickly brought us up to speed on what was happening in the market. We let him run his game plan in selling our place and we were very pleased with the result as were other realtors who inquired about how he got the outcome he did with our place. Within a couple of weeks of selling our place he had helped us purchase our new home and did all the due diligence to make sure we were getting a quality home. Darin is very professional and thorough from start to finish.He promptly returns messages and always finds the answers to your questions. You are in good hands with Darin and you never have to worry about something not getting done.

Darin is the ultimate professional and a really super nice guy on top of that! I was so nervous about selling my house and then having to buy another place in these crazy market times but Darin was instrumental in making this a pretty seamless experience. Darin thoroughly explained the whole process and kept in contact with me on a daily basis. He answered texts, phone calls and emails promptly and always kept me updated on developments. Darin goes at his job 100%. He is extremely organized and thorough and always offered great advice. Although you may be one of many clients he has at the time you would never know is as it always feels that he is working for you exclusively as he is always so available when required. I would use Darin as my realtor again absolutely and I would highly recommend him to anyone either selling or buying a property.

6 years ago we bought our first house with Darin. We were so impressed with his service that when we decided to sell the house we did not hesitate to have him again as our real estate agent. Once again, Darin did not disappoint. Selling a house, as most know, is quite stressful. Darin made the whole process as smooth as possible for us. His vast knowledge, not only of the market, of real estate but everything you can think of when selling/buying a house is incredible. All the resources he has at his disposition and his dedication to his clients is remarkable. Darin even took the time to involve our children in the process. He even continues to have contact with his clients after the sale is done. He excels with his "after care". He is transparent and consistent in his communication. We just sold our house and we are thrilled. Once again Darin exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Darin to anyone who intends on buying or selling their house.

Darin was so great to work with, he was friendly, very approachable, and professional. He explained everything we needed to know to sell our current home and to purchase a new one. Because of Darin's thoroughness there were no unexpected surprises along the way. We ended up in a great house and are so happy with the service provided by Darin. He even showed up with moving boxes the day after we sold our house! We would highly recommend Darin to any of our friends and family.

Darin is the best out there! We bought an incredibly hard to sell property 3 years ago (using a different realtor) and we thought it would be an impossible task. Darin was open with us throughout the entire process regarding what to expect and he kept in regular communication. He had a number of clever strategies to get people in the door and it sold to happy buyers who the layout worked for! He has excellent negotiation skills to ensure you get the right price for your home. We will definitely be using Darin as we start our search for our next home and other future homes since we can put complete trust in him.

After years of saving we were finally ready to start looking for our first home. My husband and I have both known Darin for many years so there was no question who we would work with when it came to buying a house. It was a long process, as we looked at houses narrowing down the specifics of what we wanted. Darin was awesome! He really listened to our comments and had such great feedback. He was very patient with us and was so thorough when explaining everything to us. Once we found "the one" Darin was extremely professional and knowledgeable when it came to making an offer and removing the subjects. He was so informative and just made it so easy! I have referred Darin many times in the past and will absolutely continue to refer his exceptional Real Estate Service. Thank you Darin!
