Testimonials

Darlene is dependable, easy to get a hold of, knowledgeable, understanding, and patient (way more patient than I was). She knows just how important these big decisions are to families and throughout the home buying/selling process you will feel like she is family 🙂

- The Pope Family

We just closed on a house we sold. Darlene was amazing. The sale came with many many challenges. Darlene was there every step of the way, looking out for our best interests. We could never have done this without her.

- Amy Salvitti

Thanks to Darlene Smithwick, my daughter’s home had 9 showings the first week and 3 offers at the end of the week. Working with Darlene was pleasant and efficient. We met at the house to be sold and at her office. She is very knowledgeable about the real estate market. Darlene made selling this house a good experience. I would use her again and recommend her to anyone selling – our buying!

I cannot say enough good things about Darlene Smithwick and the handling of this sale. Her knowledge and experience allowed me to put things in her hands and not worry about a thing. She took care of everything and only reached out to me when she needed something specific and kept me updated every step of the way. It was a completely painless process and I would recommend Darlene to anyone who wants a true professional to handle their sale. Thank you so much for everything, Darlene!

- Nephtali Rodriquez, Boykins, VA

I have personally known Darlene for 40 years! However, she has been my realtor for the past 20 years! She has assisted me both as a buyer and a seller. One of her best traits is that she is a great listener. She listens to what your “Wants” and ‘Needs” are in your home buying/selling process. More than that, she is always available to take your calls or answer your questions anytime you need her.

- Molly, Blacksburg

Darlene is the best, professional conscientious polite and patient. Knows her stuff as a realtor knows the area very well.

- Millie Kerrick

I recently had the opportunity to work with Darlene Smithwick and Hometown Realty with the sale of my Mother’s property in Franklin, Va. Since I do not live in the area, Darlene coordinated and handled the entire sale from beginning to close. This included cleaning the house, putting the property on the market, scheduling and overseeing of multiple inspections, working with the lawyers through closing, and other items that needed to be taken care of. Darlene and Hometown Realty did a fantastic job ensuring that closing went as smoothly as possible. I would highly recommend Darlene for any of your residential real estate needs.
