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. Not only did she facilitate that process, but she also then found a buyer for our house, meaning we didn't have to do any marketing or open homes, priceless when you have young kids! Jo has been upfront and honest throughout the whole process and supported us the whole way. Highly recommend!

We were especially grateful for her assist with prepping the house -boy does she know her stuff. Jo was also unwavering in the journey to a result. Jo has an especially lovely manner in dealing with people. We can't recommend her more.
Very good communication and market knowledge. Work with passion and patience.

We felt as though we had a great rapport with Jo from our first meeting. She is a great communicator who really listens to what her clients have to say. She kept us very well informed and we felt like she worked very hard for us as the vendors. We would highly recommended Jo and would definitely use her again.
Jo could not be faulted throughout our campaign, both in the lead up to, during and after. Her friendly can do attitude really provided all of the assurances we craved when faced with selling our gorgeous and much loved family home. We had such a lot to sort prior to going live with our listing and she certainly made us feel we were being supported throughout the whole process. Jo was also able to connect us with others to ensure we had everything required to enable us to present our home at its very best. We can’t thank you enough Jo Darbyshire and would highly recommend you to others who are selling in what has been described as a challenging market.
Jo was instrumental in the whole campaign from initially walking up our drive to introduce herself (cold call) to us taking her on as our agent. The journey was professional , informative , always communicating and proactive. She put a lot of work into canvassing the surrounding area as well as targeting the marketing to reach wider. At the end of the 28 days we had three offers on the table. When selling you never know if things will go according to plan, but the approach taken meant that between us we had put a well presented house and campaign together and that ticked a lot of boxes for buyers coming in . Without the experience and backing from our agent Jo this may not have happened, Great Job!!
I would recommend Jo Darbyshire to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a house. My mother had decided to move into a retirement village and we needed to sell in a changing market. Time was tight, the stress was high, Jo had great suggestions, kept in touch, even offered to lend a hand, and helped us hugely in her professional, cheerful and helpful way. Looking back now, it seems easy, but that was all due to Jo, Lawrence and the Bayleys team.
