We worked with Desiree to find our dream home and saw firsthand how exceptional she is. Her decades of experience, expert negotiating skills, and deep knowledge of the Seattle market were invaluable. When a few issues came up during the inspection, she skillfully negotiated with the sellers on our behalf, ensuring everything was handled smoothly. It took several months to find the perfect house; throughout this time Desiree remained positive, proactive, and consistently positioned us for success. We appreciated her strategic approach and completely trusted her judgment. She’s also a wonderful resource for design and renovation ideas (we visited a home she staged - it was stunning). We feel so fortunate to have worked with her and can’t recommend her highly enough!

Desiree was an incredible partner throughout my home sale process. She was very knowledgeable about the market and pricing, gave valuable guidance (and furniture!) to ensure the home showed well, and was communicative and engaged every step of the way. Selling a home can be a stressful time, and Desiree made it a smooth and easy experience. I highly recommend her for anyone selling or buying a home.

Desiree was a super hero in my home sale. After 12 years of living alone in my dream house, I suddenly lost interest in being a homeowner and moved to a lovely retirement center. We considered leasing to preserve our future appreciation, but Desiree’s assessment changed our mind. Per her promise, she prepped and sold our house in just under three weeks at a price 50% higher than we had thought feasible to ask. She knows the market, how to get things done fast, and how to make a house appeal to the appropriate future buyers. Our house is a vintage modest sized farmhouse with a 360 degree mega-mansion-worthy water, city and mountain rooftop deck view. The architectural detail was primo but the layout appealed to a relatively small subset of potential buyers. Desiree knew how to find them and I rest easily at night knowing the right buyers are in my dream home.

Desiree worked so hard for us from first conversation to close, which was an incredible push for a very successful sale within three weeks. She knew the market and guided us, plus had amazing connections that helped make it all happen. We could not be happier working with such a joy, personally and professionally.

It wasn’t luck that allowed us to purchase our dream home; it was Desiree. Over the past ten years, Des has helped us buy and sell several homes. Last year we bought and sold a home with Desiree’s expertise. On a whim, we asked Des to show us a house that had already gone pending. It checked all our “wants” for our next home – a view, a park, natural light, and our dream neighborhood. Although work needed to be done and a conventional loan was not an option, Desiree connected us with a lender to ensure we were prepared if the current buyer backed out. Des stayed in constant contact with the selling agent, which allowed us to be first in line. Our wishes were answered when the house went back on the market, and we were ready to step right in and our dreams came true. With a list of top-notch contractor referrals provided by Des, we were able to get the house fixed up quickly and easily. Desiree is, simply, the best realtor. From staging to negotiating to handling the final documents, she made everything as easy as possible- even when we never went for the easy home or sale.
