Testimonials
WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING :

What can I say about Desiree…Where do I start?…Selling your “home” is definitely an emotional experience, to say the least! Desiree knew exactly what that experience would feel like. She was there by our side every step of the way. Responsive is an understatement throughout our journey. Even after we had an accepted offer and were getting ready to pack everything up, she was asking us “Is there anything I can do to help?” She and her team (Rachel Bivens, in particular) are amazing and made us feel like family! Thank you, thank you, Desiree for your guidance and support! We love you!

I have worked with Desiree over the past couple of years. She has helped me with the rental of one of my apartments and more recently she helped me sell another. I find Desiree to be extremely professional, communicative, detailed oriented and efficient. It was also extremely helpful that she spoke Portuguese and Spanish. She was able to explain to me everything in my native language (Portuguese) as well as successfully communicate with our counterparts, most of which spoke Spanish, in all our deals. I will definitely work with Desiree again, and if you are looking for a top-notch realtor, you should too.

Desiree was the key person during my home search and purchase! I was completely lost in terms of the home buying process, and she was extremely caring from the first time I called her. She was patient (not pushy) and always very flexible to show the properties. She is extremely knowledgeable and always guided me and explained in detail what I needed along the way. She was very organized and helped coordinate everything with the lender, title company, etc. What an amazing experience to work with her! I will be forever grateful I found her as my realtor for this crucial decision of my life, and I will recommend her with absolute trust to anyone looking to purchase their new home.
