At an extremely stressful time Desere has the ability to instill confidence. She is always professional but conveys warmth and understanding of each individual's particular needs and concerns.

I would say to friends, neighbours etc. if you are wanting to deal with a real estate agent, then Desere would be the person we would pick. She showed great communication skills, quickly responded to our emails and was very knowledgeable about the property we were looking at. Plus she is a very nice person and we felt very comfortable in our dealings with her.

Des and Janelle were amazing from the start. They worked tirelessly to get the best outcome for us. They were very flexible and supportive, guiding us through the process. We have used other cheaper agents in the past but have found this experience well worth the extra cost. Highly recommend

Desere and Janelle were a great team to have working on the sale of our property. Being out of town vendors there were many extra things they dealt with on our behalf to help the successful sale proceed. They both worked very hard and professionally to help us with presentation, marketing and ultimate sale of the property.

Desere was absolutely fantastic. She went out of her way to show us the property, explain the buying process, answer all our queries, engage in fruitful dialogue with the seller, and be there every step of the way through the buying process.
