About Darcy
DarcyElmanRealEstate.com
I have been helping clients buy and sell residential and investment properties in the Bay Area, for the past five years. Since 1985, I have resided all over the Bay Area and currently live part-time in both San Anselmo and San Francisco. My familiarity with the area has given me a great understanding of the value of location and current market, as well as creating an expectation exceeding experience to help clients live their best lives. I embrace the uniqueness of the Bay Area, with its scenic vistas and progressive culture and have a great appreciation for art, design, and architecture, which guides my clients into their next phase of life.
I believe homes are more than investments. A home is a sanctuary for creating memories with their loved ones, and I’m passionate about helping clients elevate their lifestyles. My business is built on trust, dedication, and personal connection with my clients, which has allowed me to sell over $20M and to rise to the top 10% of Compass agents in California. I am also a Certified Green Realtor, helping clients find an environmentally and eco-friendly home.
In my free time, I enjoy going to see dance and live theater. I have a passion for gardening and spending time outdoors. I also support several local non-profit organizations and part of my commission goes to giving back to our underserved communities.
I look forward to partnering with you, every step of the way.

" Darcy worked her magic again! Since she did such an incredible job helping us buy our wonderful home we had no hesitation in having her help us sell it. Darcy was able to navigate us through the ever changing tides of the housing market. This allowed us to remain steadfast in our mission. She also guided us into taking the right actions to prep our house for the sale. Which led us to the perfect buyer with a perfect offer in less than 48 hours of putting it on the market. Wow! The whole selling process went swimmingly. We feel extremely fortunate for Darcy being by our side every step of the way. Selling a home can be a nail biting experience but working with a tenacious expert like Darcy will put the mind at ease. Thank you Darcy for absolutely everything! We are truly grateful. "

" Darcy recently helped me sell my one bedroom TIC in Noe Valley. She handled everything seamlessly, including the staging and additional work from inspection. As I now live in NYC and wasn’t in SF for the sale, I honestly don’t think I could have managed it without Darcy. She patiently navigated each obstacle that arose and supported me through the process, helping me sell at a time when the market was shifting in favor of the buyer. I can definitely recommend Darcy if you’re looking for an agent that will partner with you through the process. "

I cannot thank you enough, not only for your knowledge of the area, your pursuit of the specific property, but also for the extra hand-holding during the lending process. The friendly care you extended to me, confidently assuring me of the success of this investment, gave me the courage I needed to satisfy my retirement goals. Additionally, the guidance you provided, sharing your experiences in the rental process, assisting in every way and answering my endless questions only increased my allegiance to you for future real estate investments. Knowing you have been there for me throughout my entire journey, reflecting your competence and dedication to the task at hand. You are not only smart, but resourceful and your actions are always professional. I hope you know how much I respect you and your abilities and truly appreciate you. Darcy is a fantastic agent!

" We never imagined we’d be able to buy a house in Marin near the water let alone during the pandemic. But miracles do happen, especially if your realtor is Dary Elman. Seriously it was like a match made in heaven working with her. Darcy has a go-getter attitude and a meticulous eye for detail that worked hand in hand with my partner. I never thought anyone could keep up with his questions and eagerness the way she did. It was quite amusing and very rewarding. Also, Darcy has a sensibility of the energy, function, and design of a space that really resonated with me. This allowed my partner and I to be at complete ease knowing she not only had our best interest in mind but truly understood what our wants and needs were. Plus Darcy’s commitment was to make sure we found a house we could call home and that the property would be a legitimate investment. Score! What an amazing adventure. We are so grateful for her expertise, tenacity, and grace that led us to a smooth acquisition of our Dream Home!. Thank you, Darcy, we could not have done this without you. We are singing your praises to our family and friends and will call upon you for our next investment property."

" As first-time home buyers, we really had no idea how much time and energy was required to tour houses, write offers, secure financing and ultimately end up in our own home. Darcy walked us through every step in the process and made sure that we were well informed and comfortable with each step before moving on to the next. She devoted her time to us (we literally toured houses every weekend for 3 months) and was always reachable by phone, text, and email at any time - she even worked for us and stayed up until 3:00 a.m. while on personal vacation in Ireland just to make sure our offer was the first one submitted for a highly desirable home. She constantly went above and beyond for us, and always had our best interests at heart.
While the process was not always smooth, Darcy never let us get discouraged and ultimately helped us find our perfect home that checked all the boxes and then some. We highly recommend Darcy not only for her high degree of professionalism and extensive real estate knowledge but also for her energy, her tireless work ethic, and her positive can-do attitude.
Darcy is a fantastic agent! Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or looking to upgrade, Darcy will give you all of her energy to ensure that you are protected, confident and excited about your next home purchase! "

" I highly recommend Darcy Elman as your Realtor, she's fast with preparing your home for sale. She knows reliable Gardeners, painters and contractors that are ready to stage your home. Darcy paid a lot of attention to having an open house every weekend. Darcy is professional and knowledgeable and always available for communication. Darcy saw what needed to be upgraded at her first look at the house, so it would be appealing to the buyer."

" I want to thank Darcy Elman for her wonderful real estate services in selling our project. She took the necessary time to fully listen and understand the appeal of the project and was able to bring out these points through her marketing. Her incredible creativity brought a definite special presentation during the open houses and events. Her expert knowledge of the luxury market really helped as well. She knows how to target her efforts to bring out the right potential buyers. She demonstrated to be very dependable, friendly and hardworking. I was delighted to have her a part of the transaction. She treated the listing with the highest priority and it showed with results. I would highly recommend Darcy and look forward to future transactions with her."

" Darcy was such a pleasure to work with. Searching with an infant nearly an hour away from your home can be difficult. But Darcy was efficient. We started our journey with her by looking at 6 homes in one day. This first-day exploration, which was no joke, allowed us to scope out neighborhoods and price per square feet. But Darcy didn’t dawdle. If it was clearly not our style we were in and out, she wasn’t trying to convince us otherwise. After the initial day, Darcy pre-screened properties as we narrowed our search so we didn’t waste our time crossing the bridge.
Once we found our new home Darcy was realistic and insightful during negotiations. She put us first throughout and protected us through the process. She checked in frequently and walked us through the process.
Not only is Darcy a great realtor she is also well connected. She saved our deal by connecting us with a new mortgage broker who was able to pull off a very quick deal.
I highly recommend Darcy for your real estate needs. Not only is she a great realtor she a great person and fun to be around. "
