An interior design and architecture major, Darlene Navarrette Rosen immediately fell in love with Junius Heights — the historic East Dallas neighborhood she has called home since 1999. She lives in a quaint 1931 Craftsman-style bungalow with her husband, Dave, their daughter, Carmella, and their poodle, Perla. A Dallas resident since 1989, Darlene got her real estate license in 2004 and specializes in historic homes. Before entering the real estate industry, Darlene had a successful career working for several Fortune 500 companies, including AT&T, Nextel and XO Communications. Thanks to her strong skills in client management and negotiating, Darlene was able to grow national territories for these companies. Years ago, Darlene read a book about being a “5% Philanthropist” and since then, she has pledged five percent of her income to charities. Her favorite ones are St. Vincent De Paul and the SPCA. Darlene loves to read, hike, and cook. She also loves to entertain and show off her top-notch chef skills. She was an active member of the St. Thomas Aquinas Parents’ Association for many years, and currently serves as a Girl Scout patrol leader and Spanish hotline volunteer for St. Vincent de Paul. Darlene is the assistant vice president of communications-elect for the Mockingbird Chapter of National Charity League as well as the founder of DTX Driven Women Network.
