Darrell was always there when I needed him. He also recommended good people to handle the work I needed to have done. They did a good job and always arrived on time.

He was extremely patient with me and if he did not have the answers he got the answers.

We are extremely satisfied by the way Darrell took care of us, from the first time we spoke on the phone we quickly realized he was the man for the job. We are overseas in Japan and every step of the way we felt at ease and not worried about the process! Thanks Darrell, we look forward to doing business with you in the future.

Mark and Kristine Whitaker, San Diego, a buyer from Fallbrook, CA
We have never written a testimonial before but felt compelled to write one based on our experience with Darrell Keliinoi from CENTURY 21. As part of the NFCU Realty Plus Program, NFCU connects you with a local real estate agent. Darrell reached out to us to find out what are needs were and set up an on-line portal for us to view homes at our leisure. Knowing that this would be our forever home we wanted to take our time to find the right house for us. Darrell patiently showed us homes. We never felt pressured to make decision. Once we found our home, the process went smoothly. He kept in constant contact with us and provided full transparency on purchasing our home. He exceeded our expectations from start to finish.

lansel watson Escondido, a seller from Escondido, CA
Darrell was always prepared and available to answer any questions. He is professional and would recommend him to all our friends. The best!!!

Tim Glaze, a buyer from Valley Center, CA
Darrell was absolutely phenomenal. He took the time to address any issue/concern we had. I HIGHLY recommend his services to anyone and will seek to use him if needed in the future.

Monae Cobb, Fallbrook, CA, a buyer from Fallbrook, CA
Darrell Keliinoi was a tremendous help during my first home buying experience. He made sure I understood and was comfortable with everything that was going on, which was a huge deal to me. He answerd my calls and texts and even worked around my busy schedule. I would definitely use Darrell again!

Peter Stuhldreher, Escondido CA, a seller from Escondido, CA
There was never a doubt that Darrell would be selling this house for us. He was outstanding at helping find the house, and we were sure that he would do an outstanding job selling.

Exceptional marketing. Top notch

Could not ask for a better person to be able to be our agent.

If I could have had Darrell be our agent/broker for purchasing our new home in Virginia, I would have. That's how good he is. Our broker in Virginia was outstanding, and I would highly recommend him. But, he is not Darrell. Darrell is in a class of his own.

Dragica Trifunovski, a buyer from Escondido, CA
Great guy. Easy going. No pressure.

Grant Weller, San Diego, a buyer from San Diego, CA
We were assigned Darrell by the realty plus program. That being said, he was all we could have hoped for. Open communication, excellent response time and extensive local knowledge. We would refer any of our friends to Darrell in the future

Carlo Luna, San Diego, a buyer from San Diego, CA
Darrell was really helpful especially for a first time home buyer like myself. He guided me through the details and explained everything in simpler terms. He was also organized and had all the requirements laid out for me so I would not miss any deadline. Overall, Darrell was a great agent and would definitely recommend to any first time homebuyer.

Daryn and Tina D. Escondido, CA, a seller from Escondido, CA
Darrell was outstanding. He really took time to listen to what we needed and expected out of the sale of our home. Not only did he deliver but he far exceeded our expectations. We couldn't have been more happy with the results of our home sale and the work. energy and urgency that Darrell put in to get those results.

Ron Turner, Escondido, a seller from Escondido, CA
Darrell's knowledge was the key in selling my house so quickly. I would use him again for sure no doubt about it!

Brian W., Escondido, California, a seller from Escondido, CA
Darrell Keliinoi helped sell our house in Escondido, California in August. He came recommended to me, and I'm glad he was the real estate agent who helped us through the selling process.

From my first meeting with Darrell, his substantial experience was obvious. He provided us an approach he uses successfully to obtain the highest sales offer for the current selling market. We followed his advice, and it worked. We sold our house for almost 3% higher than our list price.

We were selling a 47 year-old house that our family had owned since it was new. The inspection by the buyer turned up numerous items on the buyers list that had to be either corrected or certified in working order. One of the most valued areas of Darrell's knowledge was his help through this phase. Darrell provided contacts for the tradesmen (electrician, plumber, etc.), and coordinated the timing of their help from start to finish. This was a huge relief for me as I work full-time and didn't have the time for the effort required. Another benefit -- everyone he recommended was reasonable priced for their services.

I will use Darrell again and recommend him and Century 21 Award to others. Darrell kept us updated almost daily through the sale process. There weren't many days during the sale process that I didn't hear from him with an update or recommendations from him on things that needed attention or consideration. Darrell is friendly but straight forward on what needs to happen and when. His high level of professionalism and experience earned our trust. When you use him in the future, you will also realize there isn't anyone better in the residential buying/selling process in San Diego County. You will also be satisfied and glad you used him!



Jason and April Martos, San Diego, CA, a buyer from San Diego, CA
We found Darrell through the USAA Real Estate Advantage program. At the time, we had started working with another realty team that we'd been referred to by friends. However, they were not a good fit. Darrell was patient, understood my family's timeline, and worked with us to find a home that matched our family's needs. Patience and commitment to our family's considerations played the largest role in our decision to go with Darrell. We are happy that we did.

Working to purchase our home in Southern California from Hawaii made it impossible to get out to the home prior to putting in an offer. Darrell did an outstanding job of getting to the properties on our short list and providing critical feedback on each one so that we knew what we were getting into before putting in an offer. He also took time from his day to work with our inspectors and contractors to ensure that the property was ready for my family to occupy after closing. We couldn't be happier with the service he provided.

I would recommend Darrell to anyone. This is our 4th home that my family purchased, and Darrell ranks among the top of realtors that we've worked with over the years. We're pleased that we had the opportunity to purchase our family's home with him this year.

Iris Fernandez and Ovidio Rivera, a buyer from Ramona, CA
Darrell Keliinoi was referred to us by Navy Federal CU when my husband and I needed the most help. Darrell took the time to sit down with us, even after hours, to answer all our questions with great expertise and patience. He never hesitated to meet us, must of the time face to face, to help us, and treated us as a family.

Theresa Moore Escondido Ca, a seller from Escondido, CA
We thank him for being concerned over the situation we were facing with the death of our Father. Darrell lead us throw all of the details with the sell of our house and made the Trust paperwork easy to follow. He knew the market and estimated the time it would take to sell our house accurately.

Ashley, San Diego, a buyer from San Diego, CA
I was assigned Darrell Keliinoi as my agent by chance, and I was incredibly lucky! I lived 8 hours from the city where I was hoping to purchase a home, which made my situation more difficult than others. Darrell was exceptionally helpful through the entire process, despite the fact that I was never there to tour a potential home myself. He viewed every house I asked him to, providing me so much detail about the home and the neighborhood that I felt like I had toured it myself. In the end, we found the perfect place and Darrell walked me through the offer/contract portion, giving me a full explanation of every portion and answering every question I had.
As a first time homebuyer and someone purchasing a home long distance, I could not have asked for a better agent. I highly recommend Darrell and will definitely be using him again for my next purchase.

Terri, Escondido, a buyer from Escondido, CA
Darrell was fantastic. I called him one afternoon to see a home and he was "Johnny on the spot". As a first time homebuyer, I had not clue what I was doing and Darrell really helped guide me through the process. He let me know which steps I had completed, and next steps that were going to happen. Darrell gave me frequent updates and truly made this experience bearable.
