Jo has lived in the Eastern Suburbs for many years and is passionate about the area. To Jo family is everything so outside of work she enjoys spending times with her three children. She also loves entertaining, cooking, reading, walking, going to the gym and yoga. Giving back is important and Jo took great pleasure in organising a corporate fund raising auction event for the Breast Cancer Foundation.

Slide 1 of 9

Jo was a wonderful agent to work with. She explained the process well and gave regular updates after open homes and when people had been through the property. She was quick to respond to emails and texts with any questions that we had. She gave good advice about presenting the property for sale and eased our minds about where we should put our energy. I felt that my mum's house was in good hands and Jo even occasionally watered the indoor plants if they looked like they needed care! She was professional and yet friendly and approachable. Really thrilled to have had Jo as the agent to market and sell the home.

Louise

Whenever I sent Jo a text asking her advice or had a query about something, she would be quick to respond. She was always very warm and professional in her dealings with us....encouraging when the open homes went on for far longer than any of us thought they would and went the extra mile when an issue needed to dealt with, in order for the sale of our house to go through. Would I recommend her to others???? 100%

Peter & Marian

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.

Catherine

Jo bought to the process of selling our dads house a clarity in what was needed to present the house in the best way possible without having to go overboard with work to be done. She also showed exceptional negotiating skills to achieve the outcome that the family was very happy with.

Raewyn and Peter

Jo's professionalism continues to amaze me even post working with her. She is compassionate, hard working, and honest. Her marketing technique is out of this world! Selling my property in a few short weeks, and for great price as well! I hope to work with Jo once again in the future.

Parambeer

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!!

Shelly and Nick

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.

Lisa

Jo has exceptional people skills with Purchasers & Vendors as I have experienced both. I would definitely recommend Jo to Family & Friends. Thanks Jo

Sue King

Our agent was Jo Darbyshire (and Lawrence) and we couldn't be happier. Jo Is such a hard worker- honest, trustworthy and always kept us in the loop. She went above and beyond and supported us through the whole process of selling our home and is helping us find the next! She was so easy to work with and never set false expectations either.
