We just wanted to take a moment to truly reflect on the incredible journey we've had with you in finding our perfect family home in the Rangitoto zone. From the bottom of our hearts, we can't thank you enough for your unwavering support, guidance and expert advice throughout every step of the process.

Your dedication and genuine care meant the world to us - you took the time to truly listen to our needs and went above and beyond to make sure they were met. Time and time again, you amazed us with your extensive network and access to off-market opportunities that only the most respected professionals could provide.

We feel so grateful to have had you by our side, and we couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you for everything! Also, we would love to work with you again the future.

Pleasure to work with Desiree and Bianca who were both wonderful to work with. They are knowledgeable about the area and were very patient with us as nervous first-home buyers trying to navigate a tedious auction process and always responded quickly throughout the process. We might just end up using them to sell the same house when it is time for us upgrade 🙂

Best salesperson we could ever have asked for! We can't recommend Desiree enough!

Over the last four months, we worked with Desiree (and her business partner, Bianca) to house hunt, buy a new home and sell our existing home. Desiree is an incredible professional who exceeded our expectations at every turn:

- amazingly clear and prompt communication,
- an incredible eye for detail,
- REALLY listened to our requirements in what we were looking for in a new home AND showed us options that had additional features we didn't even know we wanted,
- so patient as we looked at A LOT of homes, and
- the selling process was seamless and essentially stress-free.

Desiree (and Bianca) had our best interests at heart and we are so happy with both buying and selling with them. They are complete gems! I would recommend them to anyone!

Property sold quickly after Christmas
The team helped by providing us with local knowledge of recent sale prices and properties currently on the market. This helped us set the right price. Both agents were kind and listened carefully to understand my needs.

"Our family employed Desiree Tod & Bianca O’Dea to sell our wonderful family home. They organised signing of paperwork with the executors, staging quotes and photographers, which made the process of getting to the market seamless. At open homes they had all the necessary documentation for buyers to have on hand immediately so they could make an informed decision and they even hired a coffee cart to be onsite for the viewers which was nice. They provided good advice and great communication along the way. After the home passed in at auction, they worked hard to generate a multi-offer and we received a result that our family was very happy with."

I was thrilled with the service and expertise I received from Desiree Tod & Bianca O'Dea when selling my home in Belmont. They provided me good advice on sale method, timing and helped get buyers into a multiple offer which offered me a premium price. They are both professional and went above and beyond to assist me declutter and organise tradespeople, where required. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

"We want to thank you for all the fantastic work you have done for us in the sale of our property in Eden Terrace. As this is our first time selling a property, your expertise guided us through a stress-free selling process. Thank you for going the extra mile, from arranging week-day viewing times to accommodate the potential buyer's schedule, to arranging the staging, fixing the rangehood and organising for the mirror replacement. Thanks to your professional, friendly and approachable manner, the property was sold within two weeks from being listed on the market. We will definitely love to work with you again in the future."

We just wanted to send a wee email to say a big thank you to you both, for all your help with buying our first home. As said, its been a huge process and steep learning curve as first home buyers but you made it very easy. Thank you for your time, patience and helping us find our first home.

Just a short note to express our grateful thanks for the extraordinary effort you went to – to put together the viewing package you did for us last week. You listened to what we wanted, took it on board, made it all gel including meeting with agents from different firms which also included three Uber rides to try and help us find the apartment we were after. We certainly couldn’t recommend you highly enough for the effort you put in. Many thanks.

Desiree (and Bianca) were a godsend to our family as we tried to sell our mother's apartment while living at the other end of the country. They went above and beyond any other real estate salesperson's level of service. They ran around town sorting issues like newknobs for the oven, organised a handyman for minor touch ups, gave the oven a clean! and that's just the start really. Our process was difficult as the apartment was waiting on a new Code of Compliance after a reclad. They worked hard during this process bringing buyers through every open home, kept us well informed throughout and got our apartment sold in a timely fashion. Again we cannot speak highly enough of these two. They made a very difficult process so much easier. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

Post knowing Desiree from a former industry, I was confident that Desiree's hardworking ethos and common-sense style would ensure she would take care of the sale of our investment property. We weren't disappointed. Desiree and the equally capable Bianca were able to attain a price higher than expectations within a market that is declining.

Desiree and Bianca were very easy to deal. I never once wasn't able to get hold of them, or feel that they were over-leveraged with other properties. Their knowledge of our property and experience in selling other like properties ensured they knew exactly what was required at each stage. I couldn't recommend Desiree and Bianca more highly and I would use their services again in the future.

“Despite trying conditions, Desiree went above and beyond to help secure our city apartment – she drove the process along and was helpful and flexible when the timing of things was needing be continually pushed out. Many thanks.”
