Honest, Professional and Highly Recommended.

I had a great experience working with Des to market my property at 8A Awamutu Grove. He was honest, professional, and kept everything simple and stress-free. His appraisal was prompt, his marketing advice was practical and cost-effective, and his market feedback was thorough and honest. Des is one of the most trustworthy real estate agents I’ve worked with. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their property in the Hutt Valley!

271 Wellington Road, Wainuiomata We shown a few house around town and when Des and his team had an idea of what were after the team personally called us about this one. As soon as we saw it we knew it was the perfect place for us. The process was made easy and we were kept in the loop with everything and how it was tracking on. Dealing with Des and the team was a breeze. Everything was too notch
