Tap Into Seamless Collaboration

We genuinely couldn't be more satisfied in our experience working with Kenton and we wholeheartedly recommend him to all our friends who are in search of a reliable and knowledgeable real estate agent. Kenton's expertise, dedication, and exceptional service truly made a significant difference in our buyer experience. When we initially moved from Austin, Texas to Pasadena we didn't realize the value of having a great real estate agent. Previously, we simply relied on our friends who were agents to help us. However, our perception changed when we met Kenton at an open house. While we hit it off personally, we weren't quite ready to commit to a singl...

Amy Machado made our dream home come true. She is a charismatic and knowledgeable realtor who went the extra mile for our family to secure a single family home outside of her local market and over 1.5 hours away in the seaside town of Pierpont Beach/Pierpont Bay in Ventura. We are seasoned investors who both work in property management and we are also both realtors. We trusted Amy with our life savings and the results are unmatched and we are praising her business acumen daily.

Amy is an excellent Realtor and it was a pleasure working with her!

Working with Amy was an absolute pleasure! She was always on top of things, researching listings, setting up viewings, and offering insights that helped me make smart choices. Her negotiation skills were remarkable, securing a deal that exceeded my expectations. Thanks to Amy's expertise and commitment, I found the perfect home, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional.

We just closed the sale of an investment property with Jan and she is excellent. I was reluctant at first to invest in the property to get it ready for sale but Jan was 100% correct and had the resources to help. Her team came in and assessed the property and had it refreshed and ready in just a few short weeks. Her idea of staging the home was spot on and done in such a way that it was appealing to young families as their first home. Jan was organized, communicative, thorough, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. Lucky to have come across here. She’s the one you want. Thank you, Jan!

We recently learned the importance of selecting the right realtor when selling your home. My husband and I chose to work with Sandi Rozman and are grateful. Sandi is professional, responsive, and efficient. In preparation for the sale, Sandi was hands-on and provided excellent advice on how to price our house for maximum interest and a speedy sale. She helped us maximize the timing of our estate sale and helped us work through the pros and cons of staging our home. Throughout the process she provided updates and advice. Sandi is also a delightful person and we enjoyed working with her. Having a trusted advisor like Sandi Rozman was invaluable.

Sandi was our agent for our first-ever home purchase in the summer of 2023, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide on this journey. Sandi is incredibly knowledgeable and savvy, which on its own makes her a five-star realtor. But she is also patient and kind, which makes her an especially good fit for first-time buyers. Sandi asked us poignant questions about our dream home, and truly made us feel heard. She was able to understand who we were and what our unique vision was almost immediately, and each listing she sent us was deeply personalized. We went to open houses and private tours together, always eager to hear her expert opinion on the h...

Very professional. Always came on time for showings with the buyer's agent. Always present for inspection appointments. Very prompt in their response to any questions or concerns I had.

After 36 years in the same house we decided to sell our beloved abode and move closer to family. It was not a difficult choice for us to pick Sandy and Michael as our realtors because I had my eye not only on the market, but for years on who was best at selling. And guess what, I was right!

Sandi and Michael are amazing to work with. They go the extra mile for their clients to ensure the property shows in the best light and sells for top dollar. Truly an amazing, caring team.

My roommates and I worked with Sandi Rozman from March to May 2022 looking for a place to rent in the Pasadena/San Gabriel Valley area. As first-time renters in the area, Sandi was extremely helpful and patient with us, helping us to navigate various showings and leases. She handled all the communication with the other agents and followed up to every place we applied to make sure our application and documents were reviewed. With the current crazy market, she made the process streamlined and easier to navigate. No matter the time of day, Sandi was always available to text or email, answer questions, and provide advice. She cares about her clients a...

Sandi Rozman and Michael Darling are passionate about what they do. They are well networked from trades people and staging to buyer outreach and went the extra mile for us in selling our home. They have a light touch while doing the heavy lifting! Highly recommend.

I can't speak to the Darling of the Darling and Rozman group, but my husband, best friend, and I worked with Sandi Rozman from March-May 2022 while looking for a place to rent during one of the most difficult housing markets. Sandi was extraordinarily patient with us, answering a litany of questions—from our applications to trying to understand our lease—and accommodating all three of our schedules. She handled all the communication with seller's agents and followed up when we applied to make sure that the other party had seen and received our application and documentation. She is supremely communicative, thorough, has a great knowledge of the area ...

Michael and Sandi are the ultimate professionals. From the advice on presenting the house and it’s photography to the online efforts, their marketing is spectacular. They are easy to work with and in this multiple-offer environment, they provided details and documents in a clear and easy to manage process. They know Pasadena and they know their business. I highly recommend them!

Michael and Sandi are the best realtors ever! Without them, we would not have gotten our dream house. They made the process so easy and painless. We were first time buyers and they helped us navigate the process seamlessly. I would recommend them highly to anyone. They truly go the extra mile to help you find the home you want!

If you are looking for an amazing real estate team to help you buy or sell a home, look no further! Michael Darling and Sandi Rozman are two highly skilled real estate professionals who will help you navigate the market with ease and enable you to benefit from their experience and expertise. They recently helped my husband and I purchase a home and they were able to transform what is often a stressful, high pressure and complicated process into a fairly straightforward and enjoyable experience! They helped us to set our expectations, guide our decisions, and put forward competitive offers without ever pressuring us to do something outside our comfor...

Anyone who has sold a house knows how traumatic that can be, especially when you've lived in it for 50 years! Sandy and Michael took away much of the stress from arranging reasonable and efficient staging to offering statistical guidance in pricing and market timing. Most of all we were never shuffled off to an assistant, and one or both of them were always at each show followed by constructive feedback. Since Sandy and Michael go beyond the typical agent's job description, I heartily recommend them for your needs.

5 + STARS! Look no further than Sandi and Michael if you’re selling your home or purchasing a new one. I’ve had exceptional experiences with both transactions. Their work styles complement each other and you’ll have every aspect taken care of. The process was smooth and effortless from a buyer’s and seller’s perspective. Michael and Sandi had incredible ideas for small projects, staging, and photos that made my house sell fast! The personal service they provide is unique in these days of fast-moving distracted conversations. They will really listen to your needs, ideas, and concerns. You’re in good hands with the Darling and Rozman Group!

Michael and Sandi are amazing, and we feel so fortunate to have had them advising and guiding us through the sale of our home and purchasing of a new one. Through their professionalism, experience and great senses of humor, they managed to make the process bearable. Their insights and knowledge of the local market are invaluable, and they're incredibly organized and responsive. We wouldn't want to go through the hair-raising experience of buying or selling a home with anyone else. We can't recommend them highly enough!

Writing this from the home I love so much, I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Larry during my home buying process. With LA traditionally being one of the most difficult markets to navigate, especially at the height of the Pandemic, Larry kept me grounded and helped to guide me through every turning point that arose. His care to balance the business side and the emotions that go hand-in-hand with the quintessentially stressful real estate journey (especially for a beginner), I was able to not only easily find the beautiful home I wanted, but win a bidding war, without having to go outside of my budget. I’m beyond grateful for the...

Larry was a trusted, invaluable advisor and resource to us in both the search for our first home and, ultimately, in the purchasing of our home in a competitive market. We couldn’t have navigated the challenge without him and couldn’t recommend him enough!

We were first-time home buyers and had no idea about literally anything in the process of home buying, especially in such a difficult market. Larry had reached out to me years earlier as a friend, telling me that if we were ever ready to buy, he’d be there. True to form, years later he was. The whole education process was incredible and Larry was able to put the right strategy together to secure us our wonderful home in a seamless fashion. Forever grateful!

Working with Larry was amazing and he did everything necessary to get us an amazing deal on a very competitive property. If you want a smart, helpful agent you can trust, choose Larry!

Larry is a friendly, informed and dedicated agent. He's easy to communicate with and quick to respond. He stood by us as we searched for the perfect house that fit our needs and helped us close the deal without any issues. We highly recommend working with him to buy or sell your property!

Nancy was recommended to us by a friend who had used her services in the past. I would also recommend her very highly. Nancy is very knowledgeable of the market area as well as the various buyer segment desires. She was very helpful in suggesting property presentation ideas, got the house listed and exposed quickly. Nancy is very thorough, responsive and pleasant to deal with. Her expertise and professionalism were very much appreciated.

Nancy did such a good job marketing the house that we got multiple offers well over the asking price. She made suggestions to improve the house at modest cost that attracted both end users and investors. Her energy and responsiveness made her a pleasure to work with.

There are not enough superlatives for Nancy Valentine. I became the Estate Trustee for a friend who had died, heard about Nancy's expertise from my attorney, and the rest is blissful history. I was totally inexperienced in my role, and Nancy from the start set me at ease with her professional expertise and kindness. She understands "relationship". There was so much to accomplish before we could even get to the point of "selling the house", and Nancy was by my side, literally and virtually, with recommendations and guidance. I live out of state, and Nancy's "boots on the ground" efforts were invaluable to me as we moved through several estate sales, ...

Nancy helped us find our dream home in this current environment which is brutal for buyers. She was extremely knowledgeable about all areas of the transaction. In particular she used her many years of experience to steer us in the right direction with regards to inspections without risking our purchase. In the end Nancy was able to save us thousands of dollars with some issues that arose with the house before the close of escrow. I can not imagine going through this whole experience with anyone else. I would highly recommended Nancy if your looking for the best agent, look no further.

Nancy is one of the most knowledgeable realtors in the Pasadena area, with a wealth of experience. She saved us from a number of bad situations, and guided us through to a beautiful home. Forever grateful for her.

Fantastic agent. Problem solver and gets things done!

Nancy helped me with a difficult and complex trust administration. She was at all times professional, practical and a problem solver. She helped throughout the process until the conclusion. She is well-informed about the market and keeps her clients updated on matters as they arise. I would recommend Nancy for your residential real estate needs. She is a wonderful resource as well as a complete professional.

Nancy Valentine is terrific! She guided me through the house hunting process with never-ending patience. This was an entirely new experience for me. She even directed me to others who could help with the enormous downsizing. I am very grateful to her.

I had a very good experience working with Nancy to get a home cleared out, cleaned up, and ready for sale. She was a consummate professional. Her work to get all the inspections completed in a timely manner was fantastic. Even as we went to market during Covid, Nancy was able to bring multiple offers and negotiate for our best and highest offer.

We had to sell our aunt’s house in the Linda Vista area of Pasadena which is over 300 miles from where we live. Nancy Valentine arranged everything to prepare for the sale: clean out, repairs, painting, pest control and staging. She spoke with us frequently to keep us up to date on the progress. She researched the market and set a sales price that exceeded our expectations yet seemed fair. With her team, she created a website with still and motion pictures to show the house at its best. We hardly recognized the staged house as it was completely transformed by Nancy’s team. The two-day open house Nancy organized had a constant stream of highly moti...

Larry was everything in a real estate agent we could have hoped for. He thoughtfully listened to what we were looking for, finding and presenting multiple property variations of our wish list. He was patient with us and persistent as we crossed houses off our list and refined our search as we went along without ever pushing us towards properties we didn’t feel comfortable considering. He was an influential advocate on our behalf once under contract and diligently attentive to detail through the inspection process saving us from future headaches and assuring we got the best deal. Accessible and tirelessly working on our behalf, Larry is someone we ...

Larry is exactly what you want in a realtor: honest, straightforward, communicative, and just a nice, laid-back person. He was responsive and very easy to work with, on top of getting us a fantastic price for our house. The whole process went so smoothly when you have someone in your corner who cares about your best interests and knows his stuff.

We had a great experience working with Larry H. He was knowledgeable, professional, and always had our best interests in mind. He helped us find the perfect home and negotiated a great deal. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor in the LA area.

Larry is calm, cool, and collected which is what an anxious first-time buyer like me needs. But don’t underestimate him because of that, he’ll close the deal for you and come out swinging when needed. Already recommended him to my best friend and they loved him too. Can’t refer him more

I was new to LA and knew very little about the housing market. Not only did Larry help me find a place that checked all my boxes and more, but he implemented an incredible strategy to beat several competitive offers, all with a smile on his face. Thanks, Larry!

As first-time homebuyers, we needed a lot of hand-holding. From the start, Larry provided guidance and encouragement. He helped us find a good mortgage company, walked us through how things would go, and then took us to see numerous houses in and around our target neighborhood. He was patient and helpful, and he kept the whole process stress-free. It was great to have his reassurances when an offer didn't connect, and it was comforting to have his advice and guidance once we were in escrow. We've been in our home over two years now, and we couldn't be happier.

Larry was super communicative, patient and wonderful to work with. He helped me find and purchase my first home and it was a wonderful experience.

I first had the pleasure of working closely with Sandi when in search of a new office space. She began by learning our needs and specifics of what we were looking for. Her attention to detail and forethought of possible concerns was very assuring during the entire time we worked together. This could be a very long and stressful process, but I felt confident as she walked us through step by step. Sandi's professional demeanor really shone through especially when we approached speed bumps along the way, she was able to direct us back on course. Her communication style is clear and insightful. Even after attaining the office, completing the build-out...

I got to know Jim when working at Podley Properties. He's a straight shooter and has an impeccable reputation as someone who does the right thing and takes care of his clients. Jim's vast knowledge of residential, income, and commercial property is unparalleled in the San Gabriel Valley. Whenever I had questions about an area, he was my go-to guy, always there willing to help. He listens and will navigate you through all the steps to help you meet your needs and goals. With Jim, you'll be in the best of hands.

Jim is an outstanding agent. This was my third experience with Jim and he has always gone far above and beyond to make it the best and less stressful experience possible. He made the process smooth and the sale exceeded our expectations, Jim is great and I highly recommend him.

We have worked with Jim both on the seller and buyer side. We have even used him to help lease properties. He is always professional and polite, a real people person. He follows thru on all projects and helps makes the process easier to understand. He can foresee issues and works to avoid them. He is our "go to" guy to get answers. We highly recommend Jim

Jim is very knowledgeable in the real estate field. Our property was staged and advertised for a quick sale and above the asking price. Jim and his staff are very polite and professional. We always felt that Jim had our best interests in mind at all times. I would definitely recommend Jim Rock for any of your real estate needs.

Jim has been in the real estate business for 30 years, and it shows! He is the consummate pro at negotiating, is always a pleasure to deal with, and follows through till the end. He has represented us in several real estate transactions throughout the years, beginning with finding our first home; a condominium in Pasadena. He later represented us in selling the condo and finding a house in Altadena. We have moved out of the area now, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking a real estate pro in the San Gabriel valley.

Jim is incredible. I’ve worked with many realtors over the past 25 years and I must say Jim Rock has far exceeded my past experiences and my expectations. First and foremost he is honest and his integrity is immeasurable. He also worked diligently for the client and was available regardless of time. I would highly recommend Jim to anyone in need of a realtor and I plan on utilizing his expertise again and again. Thank you Jim Rock for a very pleasant experience.

We spent years looking for our “forever” home in Sierra Madre before meeting Jan. As soon as I met Jan, I knew I wanted to work with her. We really liked her straightforward, honest style. She is completely authentic and follows through on her word. She is never pushy but ready to work hard and take action when you are ready. She is extremely knowledgeable about the area and is a natural at making connections in the community. We were under a tremendous amount of stress during the purchase of our home and subsequent renovation and she handled it like a professional. What has impressed us the most about Jan is that now, a year after buying our home...

This team knows the San Gabriel Valley (and in our case the Sierra Madre) real estate market very well. Their smart advice was spot on. Listing our home with this team was a great choice as they made the entire process worry-free and efficient for us. Such a pleasure to work with these professional and caring people. Would work with them again in a heartbeat!
