10 Heath Street, Wainuiomata

Des and his team are amazing!! Very Knowledgeable, supportive and patient. We first contacted Des back in the beginning of 2020 to appraise our house. Obviously we hit the covid lockdown before selling our house. for various reasons we didn't list our house till beginning of 2023, Des was extremely patient but kept us up to date with what was happening on the marketing side of things and checked in on us a couple of times during this period. Once our house went on the market, Des and his team went over and above for us to try and sell our house and find the perfect home for us to move to. They were all very helpful and continued to try their best for a good match and now I am happy to say that we have found the perfect home for our family. A special thanks to Des, although I am very aware that there are other people in his team working behind the scenes. I would not hesitate in recommending Des and his team to anyone. We are extremely thankful for them all. Kate and Sam

Des outlined everything right at the start and answered all our questions. He was a pleasure to deal with! He also promised to achieve even more than we expected. We would recommend Des for anyone selling a house or property.

Whoever says buying or selling a house is stressful, hasn't dealt with Des and his team! I did both - buying and selling all through Des and his team. They are all tirelessly friendly and happy to answer all questions, regardless how small it may be. They appeared to be available 24/7, if I needed any answer or reassurance and they always responded with a smile. If I need to go through the process again in the future I wouldn't hesitate to contact Des.

Legend in the game!

We recently sold my home with Des, and I honestly could not have asked for a better experience. From the very first phone call, I told him, “I’ve picked you to sell my house because I trust you.” Trust is a huge thing for me and it goes a long way, and Des lived up to that from start to finish. Des and his team made the whole process smooth and stress free. Communication was always easy, and he was upfront and realistic about what was worth updating and what was not. His advice was based on real experience from selling similar homes, and it was clear he knows the market extremely well. Nothing felt sugar coated or pushed. It was simply honest guidance that helped me make the right decisions. Des also does so much for the community, especially through sports, and it felt great to be able to give back by choosing him to sell my home. In my line of work in banking, I see a huge range of real estate agents come across my desk, and Des consistently stands out with one of the highest numbers of successful sales. That level of professionalism absolutely came through in my own experience. I would recommend Des to anyone wanting someone they can genuinely trust. He brings knowledge, honesty, community spirit and a level of service that makes selling your home a whole lot easier.

Great advice, great communication

The purchase certainly wasn't straight forward as the terms were unusual from our bid side. Des helped us through the unique process to make sure the purchase suited both parties. His extensive knowledge and can-do attitude made what looked like an impossible task initially, go through with relative ease.

Makes the difficult, simple!

I’ve used Des and the team a number of times and they never disappoint. This sale was quite a puzzle, but Des quickly understood both the situation and the type of buyer who would see the real value in the property. What was a very non-straightforward sale and process was made far easier thanks to his knowledge and hands-on negotiations on our behalf, which were excellent throughout. Another great result — thanks to Des and the team. Highly recommended.
