Robin Taylor Roth
Senior Director, Learning Delivery, Century 21 Real Estate LLC (colleague) worked with you
“Darrin Friedman is a person to watch - carefully! He's moving ahead so very quickly, that you could miss him, if you blink. Seriously, Darrin has succeeded in an arena that defeats many people: turning around a failing business. He has done this by applying sound management principles and by serving as a stellar example to those he manages. He is consistent and even-handed in his approach - and maintains a stunning sense of humor. I most strongly recommend Darrin for any undertaking in which he is interested. He will astonish you.” February 2, 2008

“I appreciate Darrin’s ready, willing and able approach to making things happen. I have always been an independent, “independent contractor” which tends to drive most BVP’s nuts. Darrin recognized early on that I am much more productive if I am given the freedom I need to function at my highest level and he allows me that. When something needs to be addressed, whether it is a broken copier or disfunctional system, Darrin gives 100% until I am satisfied.” September 4, 2008

That candor is truly appreciated and makes the positive feedback all that more meaningful.” April 9, 2008
