Holbrook Realty Group - Keller Williams Westlake Village

Jim and Darlene sold our first home in Moorpark almost 30 years ago and we were impressed with them the moment we met them. They are not only top notch realtors who know the business inside and out, they are very decent and caring individuals. When we were moving out of state and the moving van was already on its way - I realized in all the bustle of packing, I had forgotten to remove wooden shelves from my kitchen that had been handmade by my father. As we were immediately flying out, I was distraught and didn't know what to do and Darlene offered to remove and secure the shelves until plans could be made to ship them to our new home. That moment I knew these were rare people who cared about their clients and we became fast friends. Within the same year, as luck would have it, we moved straight back to California and again Jim and Darlene were the realtors to help us buy another home in Moorpark. Through the years we've also used their services for refinancing and to buy rental properties, with the assurance that our needs were uppermost in their minds. Our children also have been lucky enough to have Jim and Darlene to guide them through their first home buying experiences. We can state emphatically you won't find better people to handle your reality needs. This husband and wife are a TEAM; they play off of each other's strengths, are totally professional and honest, but most of all loving and down to earth. - Mary Abbas

You need Jim and Darlene to represent you period. They are very professional and know the industry trends inside and out. They play hardball with the other agent to get you what you want all while being friendly and accommodating to you, the client. They are local residents, part of the community, and make you feel like family. Look, they are the experts you've been looking for to help you with your real estate endeavors. They have helped me sell, buy and scope-out rental property. You couldn't ask for a better team on your side.

The entire experience teaming up with Jim was overwhelmingly positive. When it came time to finally sell my grandmother's house, he has been professional at every turn, knowledgeable in his guidance, quick to respond, and I could not be more assured that he made all the difference in getting the best deal we could have received. He is very reassuring and goes out of his way to be helpful.

I think it would say a lot about someone if they feel inclined to having anything but positivity to say about Jim and Holbrook Realty.

25 Years of great experience with the Holbrook's, Helping me and many friends buy houses and sell them. This year (2021) Jim helped me get a great tenant, for my rental house in Simi Valley.anything less than five stars is just sour grapes from anyone that doesn't want an honest upfront realtor to work with. THANK YOU JIM!

There are real estate agents that say they will do a good job and those who actually do a good job. Jim and Darlene Holbrook do a GREAT JOB and have the experience and results to back that up. I have been working with them for the past 15 years. They listed and sold my home in Three Springs and have managed my rental property in Westlake Village since 2006. They are so knowledgeable and easy to work with. My Realtors for life.

Jim and Darlene make an excellent team and really care about their clients. They exceeded our expectations and we have used them for several property purchases and sales. We highly recommend them to anyone needing real estate services. You won't regret it!

Jim and Darlene Holbrook are the most caring Realtors I know. They never gave up as we were trying to get back into the housing market in 2003. Being outbid in 6 different offers was taking a toll on us. They assured us that something better would come along. They stayed right on top of the market and made sure that happened! We lived in that home for 17 years and loved every minute. There was no question what Realtors we would use when selling that home to move out of state. The Holbrook’s had remained our good friends throughout the years and we had all the trust in the world that they would find good buyers for our home. They again, worked hard to make that happen. I would highly recommend them to everyone!

My wife and I raised our two wonderful boys in Los Angeles for 30 years. Big cities are rough on the soul. We were both ready for a change. But where to begin? Once you’ve found your dream area, you take a breath, and find a partner!
I patiently interviewed four realtors. Without question, Jim and Darlene were the partners we needed to make the big move, and you will find them to be great partners for your move too! I say that without thinking twice.
Jim and Darlene are calm, seasoned, friendly, and very attentive. Listening and responding are huge attributes. We were first time home buyers, and there are pins and needles moments. At times like that, you need somebody close by.
They know their field and they really know the greater Thousand Oaks area. They spent time with me, and showed me around. They spent several hours showing me neighborhoods that fit our goals. They even showed me places to hike, and shop.
Did I mention that I love Thousand Oaks? No. I do. Might be cheating a bit, since I left behind 4 million people, but Thousand Oaks is a breath of fresh air.
We found a home fast! I have to say, as much as I love our new home, I miss the relationship. I plan to stay in touch with our partners. They’re that great! They’re like friends I’ve known for years.
If you’re looking to make a change, make sure to make Jim and Darlene your guides! You will not be disappointed.

My wife and I have worked with Jim and Darlene Holbrook for over 20 years, purchasing and selling a multitude of family homes and investment properties in the Conejo Valley. They provide a level of service to their clients that is unmatched, communicating frequently, openly, and honestly. Never failing to work within our budgets, they are willing to work overtime to provide as many options as necessary to guarantee our satisfaction. Their assistance in helping us find quality, long-term renters over the years has been essential to the success we’ve enjoyed as landlords. I have not ever hesitated to recommend Jim and Darlene to friends and family, and hope to continue working with them long into the future.

My wife and I have been working with Jim and Darlene for several years. They have been extremely helpful with helping us lease our home during our relocation to central California. We have continued this relationship and would call them if we needed these services again or sell our house. They are easy to work with and respond quickly to any issues we have.

I've known Jim and Darlene for nearly 15 years and have worked with them on ALL my real estate needs. From purchasing my first home ever to purchasing my first home with my wife to even rental needs. I've stuck with Jim and Darlene because they do things the right way for their clients AND, more importantly, are just all-around decent people who truly care about your personal needs and want to protect you as well. For example.my wife and I found a rental home a few years back and Jim helped us get all our things in order to sign on. Upon reviewing the contract, Jim found an unnecessary and unfair addendum in the proposed contract that stated something to the effect of us having to be responsible for more than our fair share of property damage risks. Jim advised us that this clause was outside of standard and a potential overreach. After the renter insisted on the clause, we backed out and eventually found a property that suited our needs as we prepared to start a family together. The Holbrooks have also worked above and beyond for us, especially when it came to finding our family house to purchase last year. They took the time to explain to me and my wife (who was a first-time buyer) all the paperwork required and any watch-outs throughout the home search and home-buying process. We couldn't be more grateful and HIGHLY RECOMMEND them.
