Working with Desiree was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Her attention to detail, and genuine commitment to our needs made what was a stressful situation for us feel smooth and even enjoyable.

We couldn’t recommend Desiree more highly to anyone looking for a real estate agent.

We had a wonderful experience with Desiree. She was always thoughtful with what she showed us, taking our needs and feedback into account to help us find the perfect home. She was always available to answer calls and questions, constantly accommodating our schedules. At the end she helped us find our dream home and we couldn’t be happier.

I had the pleasure of working with Desiree Darden on the sale of my co-op. She worked incredibly hard to get my apartment sold. I made an attempt twice before to sell with two other realtors and immediately I knew she was different - the one! She regularly scheduled open houses and was at EVERY showing. She was very knowledgeable about the community, but also made sure she knew every aspect of my apartment so that she could properly represent it. She's a personable and compassionate person - sensitive to my family which included someone with special needs and two kitties. She was also very honest and transparent for both the seller and buyer. If you are working with Desiree on either side, you should know you are working with a true professional who takes her job very seriously as well as the happiness of the buyer and seller alike. I am very grateful to have worked with her and I am very confident you will feel the same. It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Desiree Darden as a realtor.

Desiree Darden did a fantastic job in helping sell our property in a difficult market. I would give her ten stars if I could. She is thoughtful in her approach, obviously knows the industry well, and worked tirelessly on our behalf. She provided excellent service and advice, is innovative in her approach, and regularly kept us updated. I would work with her again without hesitation and highly recommend her.

Des was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire process. She was attentive, intuitive and very responsive. She really put me at ease while guiding the application process and did everything in her power to get the deal done. My family and I are extremely appreciative and unequivocally recommend Des to anyone in need!

It was a lucky coincidence meeting Desiree and working with her on the purchase of my apartment. She is not only knowledgable about real estate overall, but also NYC and the specifics within. Her friendly, compassionate approach as an agent was clear from day one, and still to this day is a respected and trusted professional and friend.

Desiree was an absolute pleasure to work with, even though she was the listing agent it almost felt as if she was working for us as our buyer's agent! Extremely knowledgeable of the community, the area and the ins and outs of the co-op board and package. Not only is she a great realtor she is now truly a great friend! We whole heartily recommend Desiree.

Desiree Darden has been my broker for many years in renting and selling my apartment in Wall Street. She is extremely hard working and sufficient and puts a tremendous effort in everything she does. She has many years of experience in the real estate industry. I highly recommend her as my real estate agent. Thank you Desiree for all your hard work and devotion.

I was foolish to think I didn't need a realtor to sell my Staten Island condo until I met Desiree. She had so many good tips and so much to offer that my place sold 1-2-3! Honestly, I don't think I would have been that successful without her!

Desiree brokered the sale of our apartment on Staten Island in 2023. She did an awesome job! She helped us stage the apartment appropriately and was great on the follow through.

Desiree was a real pleasure to work with. She helped me close on my apartment on the LES a few years ago and I am so glad I had the chance to work with her. She was always thoughtful and insights and gave so much of her time as we hunted for our next home. Would definitely work with her again for my next home.

We can highly recommend Desiree Darden. She is great as a person and professionally. She is helpful, personable and puts in a lot of effort. She helped us with the process to rent an apartment in a coop. We are very glad we worked with her and would do it again anytime.

Desiree was amazing to work with. She was instrumental in making my partner and I’s move cross county from CO to NYC way less stressful and allowed us to secure a quality property in no time. Cannot recommend her enough. She is extremely competent and knows her stuff, plus an absolutely delightful human all around.

After searching for months with countless realtors for my VERSATILE “dream space,” (it had to be versatile!), I finally found Ms. Darden. In the sixty seconds we spoke I could only hope she was listening. Fifteen years later I could not be happier I had met Desiree. Oh yeah, went to contract in ten minutes, love the space and we’re still in touch.

We worked with Desiree on a co-op purchase for our son a couple of years back and I can't say enough positive things. She was absolutely terrific! She is the kind of realtor that everyone should emulate. The first time we met, I got the most positive vibe. She knows her stuff inside out and was extraordinarily accommodating throughout the process. Submitting a board application can be intimidating (to say the least) but not so with Desiree's help. Her knowledge of the business is phenomenal and her attention to detail is exceptional. And I must compliment her patience too. We honestly could not have gotten through the process without her. She made it fun! In summary, Desiree is a top-notch professional in her field. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending her to anyone! You will not be sorry!

I must follow-up with the fact that we have currently been working with Desiree again to find another apartment (this time for ourselves) and I can only repeat what's been said above. She is without question the most exceptional realtor who knows her properties inside out. I tell anyone I know to contact Desiree if they are looking to buy or sell a home, apartment, coop or condo. She has been so patient in finding just the right place to fit our needs. And she never gives up. If something isn't the right fit, she steadfastly continues the search until the right one comes along. It has been so much fun working with her again and getting to know her even better! She's the best!

I have been dealing with Desiree for the last 10 years, and I can not say enough good things about her.
If you're buying/selling or renting, Desiree is the agent for you.
