Lorraine Darcy, Licensed Real Estate Agent at Signature Premier Properties

Being a mom to a special needs daughter has taught me great patience and empathy in working with all different people and personalities. My daughter is non-verbal so “listening” to her wants and needs is challenging but it is a skill I have been able to hone over the last twenty years. This asset truly assists me in the real estate business whether communicating with buyers or sellers. I worked at

a property management company where I learned many facets of purchasing and owning a home as well as the challenges that can come with home ownership. As an administrative assistant, I worked with a variety of people which continued to develop my patience and confidence in speaking up and asking questions. These traits definitely overlap with being a real estate agent. Here in Merrick, where I live, many people who grew up here stayed. I attended the local schools and graduated from Hofstra University. When my children were young, I was very involved in the PTA and worked for the Nassau Council of Chambers and the local Chamber of Commerce for ten years. I have always been an advocate for “giving back to the community” and am currently on the Parent Advisory Board of the Camp Anchor Program Fund in Lido Beach. Long Island fosters a wonderful sense of community and pride and many are so happy to call it home.
