Excellent service, transparent, realistic and honest

Darren and his team at JDH surpassed all our expectations in the recent sale of our home. Darren is very knowledgeable of the local market owing to his many years of experience in the area and as such is upfront and very realistic when setting expectations. The JDH team go above and beyond and work extremely hard to ensure your sale is successful. If we were to stay in the area and needed to sell again JDH real estate would be our first choice. Well done Darren and the JDH team and thanks for all your hard work. Paul and Terri.

About as genuine as they get

About as genuine as they get

The property that we ended up purchasing was listed through Darren earlier this year, so we asked our selling agent if he knew of Darren. His answer was, "I know him well and he's about as genuine as they get". As time went on, that was exactly the conclusion that we came to as well. Darren's friendly, down to earth demina made the entire process a lot less stressful than it could've been, so a big thank you to Darren and the awesome team at jdh real estate for getting us into our forever home.

Genuine & accommodating

Darren has made every effort throughout the process to make us feel comfortable as first time buyers purchasing a property abroad. His knowledge and love of the area due to the fact he’s grown up in Belrose Is infectious and gave us the confidence that it’s the right house and community for our family. His communication has been excellent and he’s been flexible on several occasions allowing us to come and see the property at times that work for us. We never felt pressured or pushed and he seemed genuinely intent on ensuring we were happy. He’s a good bloke and the best agent we’ve worked with in what has been an extensive search.

Selling our home which we have lived in for 42 years

Darren has an ability to make the selling of our home quite a relaxed and enjoyable experience. He has extremely good knowledge of the local area and the real estate market. He is very professional in dealing with his vendors and the buyers. We would recommend him to any one wishing to buy or sell a home in this area. Malcolm and Pilcher

Open, honest communication to achieve maximum results.

Honest, open communication the whole way with a great result on auction day. Darren is an outstanding agent who has helped secure my mum’s future in an ethical manner which was also vitally important to our family.

They Deliver Results

They Deliver Results

Darren the owner of JDH Real Estate and his team under him, maybe a family independent real estate company however the results he achieved exceeded our street and the area. In the market place some may say they are too small or are not right because his real estate company isn't physically based in North Narrabeen so you shouldn't use. Let us tell you do not under estimate or take those comments into consideration. JDH Real Estate sold our family home above market expectations, they helped us with an auctioneer, solicitor and much more, if we needed to do something they would let us know. As a vendor listen to this and action what they say, if we had a question it would be answered, what's important is to focus on your sale and not those around you. Darren told us about the formula to use when marketing and opening our property for sale. The formula is what is needed, the care, the communication, being open to the market and its conditions is a must, working with an independent real estate company with open means to the market and other avenues is something we will say is to look at, from the minute Darren walked into our home we knew he and his team at JDH Real Estate were what we needed. We are truly grateful for being recommended to him by family, Darren and his team did not disappoint. Darren has a passion and long standing years in the industry, there was no B.S. JDH Real Estate just get the job completed when marketing and selling your home. Darren even after the sale, if you want to call it a "Cash and Grab"isn't like this. Darren nor anyone at JHD Real Estate hasn't run away just because they sold our home, they have become invested in us as a family and are guiding us thru the next stages of renting and purchasing, we couldn't ask for a better man and real estate company to deal with, you will not be disappointed.

Unbelievable result in 7 days!

Unbelievable result in 7 days!

Thank you Darren and Lisa. You made the selling of our Belrose home so easy for us. Mainly due to you both being so caring, easy to communicate with and professional. You delivered exactly what you promised – a quick trouble free sale well ahead of schedule and with a price above our expectations (in a difficult market). We have been in the real estate industry for over 40 years and have no hesitation in recommending you both to home sellers wanting the very best agent to market their property. Again, thank you Darren and Lisa. It has been a rewarding and pleasurable experience marketing through your Agency – well done.

An astute professional near or, at the top of his game

Its hard to imagine that the actual business of the sale of our family home could have been handled much better. And it was not a a simple matter. Starting to come out of a depressed housing market, we were not over confident about a favourable result, but Darren's understanding of the market conditions, the strategies to put into place, the type of support we needed and his communication skills, were exemplary. Any issues that arose were dealt with in a spirit of teamwork with us , as well as his very gracious office team. We gained a very satisfactory price and are grateful. Thankyou All.

Best selling experience ever

I have sold 4 properties before and working with Darren was by far the best experience. He is down to earth, honest with his feedback of the market, and he worked incredibly hard to sell our property in a challenging market. I would recommend Darren and his team to anyone considering selling.

Darren was great to deal with, he was always professional and courteous in the process of us buying our family home. I would certainly highly recommend him if you are looking to sell your home or require assistance in buying a great property.

Seller review
Low key marketing.
about 7 years ago
Low key marketing.

Darren's proposal was for a low key, personal and direct marketing strategy. It became obvious he had a profound knowledge of the local area and his assessment of the properties value was accurate. In our discussions he was direct-perhaps even blunt-in his assessment of the current market and what our expectations should be. He was right! The sale was quick and the price better than our expectations.
