We found Jo to be a warm and dynamic agent to work with. She led us through the whole process with confidence and care. All the information she and her team shared with us was clear and provided in a timely manner. Jo did an excellent job of presenting our home in the best possible light with both the advertising and at the open homes. She engaged enthusiastically with all possible buyers and gave us thorough feedback on a regular basis. Finally, Jo and the team at Bayley's provided us with a sale on auction day that has allowed us to celebrate and move on!

Keith and Rose

During this time of selling our property Jo and Lawrence were very professional how they approaches us, the seller, and kept us informed all along about people visiting at the open homes and what their perseptions of the potential buyers were. The advertising was good and they were very professional in the total approach to the seller. We are very happy with the result.

Leane and Phil

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.

Nigel and Robyn

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.

Julie and Kai

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 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.
