From our initial conversation, Jo immediately put us at ease with her friendly demeanour, patience, and vast knowledge of the local real estate market. We recently converted our cross lease title to fee simple, Jo could see the value and with her great local knowledge was able to sell our property in a slow market. Jo and her team kept us informed with regular feedback in writing and in person and kept us well informed throughout. A top agent who we have enjoyed dealing with on the successful sale of our property. Thank you Jo. We will be using Jo again in the future and would highly recommend her.
Jo was very understanding of the difficulty surrounding the sale and managed to get a good figure despite a tricky market. She was lovely to deal with and kept communication going throughout the process. I was impressed with her work ethic.
Jo is a very professional sales person. She helped us style our house (even bringing in some of her props) so it looked amazing for the photography and video. She was constantly keep in touch with us about possible buyers and what was happening. If we had viewings during the day when we were at work she would come in to the house and tidy up! Would highly recommend Jo to sell your house.
Jo is professional, hardworking, punctual and highly responsive. She managed and communicated everything clearly throughout the campaign with constant updates and feedback. Gave me great lead time on private viewings outside of open home times and also got the house ready when I was out of town. She understood and accommodated my requests and made the sales process smooth and hassle free. She has an excellent knowledge of the area. What truly sets Jo apart is her emphasis on cultivating professional and enduring client relationships. Her steady dedication to achieving a great sale outcome in this difficult market was appreciated. Highly recommend Jo as your agent.
We met Jo Darbyshire when she was going door to door promoting her services as a real estate agent. Fast forward a couple of years and our memory of her had left a positive impression and so we contacted her when it came to selling our much loved family home. Times were tough, the economy was under pressure and our home, although it had a lovely aspect, had some quirks that meant it wouldn't suit everyone. Jo communicated with us through every step, there were some tricky conversations but she nursed us through some of the realities versus our expectations with gentle professionalism. She leaned into potential buyers; her experience allowing her to understand when to push and when to pause. And she kept us informed at every step of the process. We were delighted with the final result. We got a great price thanks to her persistent approach to the sale. Thank you for your kindness, wisdom and pragmatism, Jo. We would absolutely do business with you again!
I am writing to express my utmost satisfaction with the service provided by Joe. Having worked closely with her, I can confidently say she is an exceptional professional. Jo is a great person to deal with-honest, patient, and never pushy. She demonstrates a remarkable ability to work with her clients patiently and attentively. Punctuality is one of her strong suits, as she is always on time and respects schedules. Moreover, her hardworking nature truly sets her apart. As a sales professional myself, I greatly appreciate these qualities and am pleased to give Joe a perfect score of 10 out of 10. I have no hesitation in recommending her to others and look forward to working with her again in the future.
Excellent communicator, consistent follow up, clear guidance on the way forward, a pleasure to deal with. Thanks again for your support through the process

We met Jo at several open homes while searching for our next dream home. Although we didn't end up purchasing one of her listings, we were consistently impressed by how she engaged with us as buyers - personable, professional, insightful, and genuine. When it came time to sell our own home of 14 years, Jo was top of mind. From staging through to the final sale, she was attentive and thorough, guiding us every step of the way. We encountered a few unexpected curveballs, but Jo was very proactive in finding a solution and achieved a great result. Very professional, and cares for both buyers and vendors circumstances. We highly recommend Jo, whether you're buying or selling!

Jo has kept in touch since we met at an open home a few years ago, and knew we were looking to move but hadn't sold our house. She called with an off-market listing knowing it was in my dream street.

Jo has been upfront and honest throughout the whole process and supported us the whole way. Highly recommend!
