Des Smith and Team: Turning a Tough Market into a Success Story

Des Smith and Team: Turning a Tough Market into a Success Story

Selling a house in a tough market can be stressful, but Des Smith and his team made the journey surprisingly enjoyable. From day one, Des impressed us with his deep knowledge of the local market and his practical, simple and easy to follow advice. While others suggested a shopping list of expensive and fancy improvements, Des kept things practical and realistic: tidy it up, present it well, and let the house do the talking. We trusted his recommendations, and they worked like a charm. Despite a challenging market, our house sold within three months, which we were absolutely thrilled about. After working with Des and his team. it's easy to see why Des has earned multiple Elite Performer and Premier Performer awards over the years. Recognition like that doesn't happen by accident. It comes from understanding the market, giving sound advice, and consistently delivering results for clients. We can confirm that those awards are well deserved, and that his advice was a lot better than our attempts to second-guess the market. A shout-out to Des's team member: Theo, Lisa, and Shaun, who kept us smiling throughout the process. Beyond their professionalism, we loved hearing their stories from the front lines of real estate. After listening to some of their unexpected but memorable experiences, we're convinced property agents deserve their own reality TV show! Their positivity, humour, and encouragement made the whole process that much more enjoyable. We're delighted to recommend Des Smith and his team to anyone looking to sell their home. If you're thinking of selling, Des's tagline says it all: #LetsgetSOLD.

Des and his team went above and beyond to help us into our next property after selling our place months prior. Nothing was a problem and he guided us with his knowledge on multiple properties before we finally got the one. Thanks team!!

Very knowledgeable agent that knows the market well

Des and his team were a pleasure to work with in a tough and changing market. We had great feedback that wasn’t filtered from buyers so we got to see what people really thought when viewing our property. We got a great result and price in a tough market in 2026 and there was a lot of work behind the scenes to get our property sold. We also have Des and his team working with us to find our next property and guide us along the way in this process too. Des is very experienced and knows the market well even when it changes.
