What clients are saying...
This is my third time interacting with Desiree at ShoreWest and she will always be my go-to person for real estate in Door County. She helped me look for a place six years ago when I thought I wanted to move there permanently, and was super cool about things when I decided against it. Then 2 1/2 years ago I was looking for a second home and she help me find the perfect place. Sadly, it was time to let it go but I went again to Desiree to help me sell it and she did a fantastic job. Everything went super smoothly and I was very happy with the end result. Shelly also helped a ton and was just as easy to work with. I highly recommend ShoreWest!!
Working with Desiree was a dream. We had to sell two properties and she was able to sell them within 24 hours. She is what you look for in a realtor, someone who knows the market in your area, has a network, communicates quickly and works so hard for her clients. Plus she's hilarious. If we move back to Wisconsin she will be one of my first calls.
I enjoyed working with Matt and Desiree throughout the acquisition of my new home in Manitowoc. Matt made himself available to my sister to screen homes for me, and thereafter, to show me the selected homes while accommodating my 4 hour travel timeline. He promptly submitted my offer and recommended a very thorough home inspector. Desiree communicated with me throughout the closing process. Matt arrived early the day of closing for the final walk through. He took immediate action to assure the seller lived up to their commitments. I highly recommend this team for their commitment to my satisfaction. I love my new home and they made the purchase easy for me.
Friendly, caring , and compassionate. Desiree was always available for questions and recommendations. We couldn't think of a better person to buy our first home from.
Matt is so friendly and knowledgeable and was so great to work with when we first went to see the house. He and Desiree were so responsive and helpful when we needed to book a last minute showing, and also throughout the whole process of wanting to submit an offer. Desiree offered such great insight on how to submit our offer and gave great tips on how to get our offer to stand out. Once our offer was accepted, Desiree was amazing at communicating with us every step of the way and also recommended some great people to help us with our inspection and mortgage lending. 100/10 would recommend The Wood Team to anyone looking to buy a home!
I can't speak highly enough of Desiree as a real estate agent Her professionalism, knowledge, honesty, integrity and hard work ethics are very much appreciated and respected. She is detail oriented, honest, and has a knack for matching properties with people. She sold my lot DAY One!
Desiree was amazing as always!! This was my 3rd home sale with her and she always makes it easy and effortless on my part as a seller..
Desiree was amazing and even found me an off market deal so I didn't get outbid. I was the first and only offer made on the property and had a quick close. If you're looking for something in Door County, I'd highly recommend The Wood Team.
Desiree was very responsive to our requests, answered all of our questions and was always bubbling with positive energy. Thank you Desiree!
Desiree did a great job with my listing and kept in touch throughout the process!
We cannot sing enough praises about Desiree. She helped us purchase our dream property and immediately sold our previous home. She addressed all our questions and concerns promptly and made our entire buying and selling experience so smooth. Desiree is patient, understanding, kind, and professional. We'd highly recommend her to anyone!
I'm a real estate agent in Illinois & I had a 10+ experience with Desiree ! Highly recommend the Wood Team !
Desiree is an extremely intelligent and knowledgeable realtor. She's compassionate, down to earth and always has your back. I've gone through the buying and selling process of three houses with Desiree. I wouldn't go to anyone else and refer my friends and clients to her. If you want the best, I can tell you with complete confidence.. Desiree is the best!
Desiree gave me great service & got me a good price for my home. She was always available to answer my questions & explain the process. I would highly recommend Desiree of The Wood Team. Thank you
Desiree was quick,effecient, and sold our home for more than we were expecting. She was very kind, patient, and full of positivity! We would highly recommend Desiree and Shorewest to anyone planning to sell their home.
Really went to bat for us. Trust her 100% which was really important to us. Great buyer's advocate. Excellent instincts about the market and guided us through the process step by step with effective and timely communications. Very personable, efficient and easy to deal with. Wood definately use in the future. xD
Excellent service. Excellent description of the For Sale Property. Excellent results; Closing in 1 month!
Desiree was exceptional. Always there to answer questions or concerns. Would recommend her to anyone. Wonderful job!
The Wood team made purchasing our property seem simple although I know it can be quite involved. They were able to answer any questions we had and helped us through the process which put us at ease. I can't thank them enough and look forward to working with them again in the future for any of our real estate needs/wants.
Desiree Wood was a fantastic real estate agent; practical, great communication and unflappable. I would use her and Shorewest again and highly recommend both. We are very excited about our new home in Door county!
Very pleased with how quick the Wood team sold the house. It was a rental property and Desiree was very helpful with the tenant. She quickly connected us with people on her team to fix damage left by tenant. She was very good at communication. The list price was appropriate and more than we imagined we could get for the house.
We are so thankful that we chose Desiree to be our realtor! She sold our home within 48 hours of listing (and with multiple offers)! Desiree is personable and honest! She knows how to attract the right buyers and comes highly recommended by our family!
Desiree took care of us like we were her own family. She went above and beyond. She was always willing to answer all of our questions, even when it was the same question over and over! Thank you Deairee
Desiree was the best. Thanks to her I was able to sell my home and buy the home I've always wanted. She was responsive and very knowledgeable of the local housing market.
Desiree and Matt have always been there for us on our real estate transactions. They have gone out of their way to make sure the 'I' s are dotted and the 't's are crossed. We've worked with them locally and from afar and things have always gone well.
Desiree was wonderful!! This is the second time she has helped us in the purchase of real estate. I would never consider using anyone else. She always right on spot...getting us info, answering All questions and providing us with smooth sailing thru purchases. Two years ago we hired her to help find us a new home in a new city...Sturgeon Bay. We were living in KC at the time. She looked at homes for us...had so much patience!! Then last year we unexpectedly sold our home and had no where to go...450lbs of dogs! No way could we rent and no way we were going to purchase another home in KC. Drove to Sturgeon Bay and found our dream home in a matter of hours. In 6weeks we had sold a home, bought a home and moved. Best decision ever. We owe that to Desiree..a wonderful agent but also a friend.
We had the opportunity to work with Desiree to sell our land on Glidden Dr. She has a great attitude and so pleasant, And outstanding to work with. She was quick to get the land listed and had great Drown footage to give that 3D look. The property sold within a week. We look forward to working with her in the future when we buy a home in Sturgeon Bay next year.
Desiree was great through entire process. Thanks to her I'm in my dream home.
This team is definitely worth 5 stars! Desiree's knowledge of both the buying and selling process is second to none. She's patient, answers any and all questions and is just a fun person to work with. Buying or selling real estate can be a stressful process but this team takes that stress away. We highly recommend them!!
Desiree was excellent in dealing with a rather complex situation involving the sale of a unconventional property owned by a non-U.S. citizen who had recently passed away, and where there was no local representative of the seller other than Desiree herself. It was a challenging and rather unique transaction, but we were in good hands with Desiree and she did a great job getting it done.
Desiree is the easiest person to deal with when it comes to selling homes. Everything happened quickly and smoothly the first and SECOND time we've sold with her. Down to earth, personable and knows her stuff!
Desiree was wonderful to work with - she was on top of things at every turn, answering my questions in 24 hours or less and keeping me informed on everything that was going on. Plus she's just a fun person, always upbeat and made a stressful process less so. I really appreciated all she did to help me find the perfect place in Door County and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in this area.
We were very pleased with the amount of showings Desire arranged for us. We had been listed with 3 other realtors before and none of them had the amount of showings that Desiree had. They were also very helpful and accommodating.
Desiree was wonderful to work with. The purchasing process was stress free and she kept us informed on everything that was going on. Great to work with!!
Desiree, was lovely to work work. Very responsive to our calls and checked in often as we searched for our home. She made the process easy and stress free!
Matt and Desiree were an amazing team to work with. They were very knowledgeable about the market in our area and spent all the time we needed in considering a new home in NE Wisconsin. Anytime we had specific questions that were not easy to answer, Desiree was quick to get back to us with the information we needed. Very professional and fun to work with!
Desiree and Matt, mad the price's of our house, very settling they are hey we're always available to answer any question Leanne had. They worked hard to finds the best house with out price budget. We are very pleased, it was a pleasure working with him. Our next home, Will be working with him again. Thanks a lot Wood Team Very satisfied Gonzalez family
Excellent service and support all around! Can't ask for better.
We enjoyed working with Desiree. She always responded quickly to help us set up properties to tour. She answered our questions and helped us through the buying process. We appreciate her sales and real estate knowledge. She did a great job! Judy Hansen
It was great working with Desiree and the Shorewest people. When Desiree and I first met she told me there wouldn't be any pressure from her and when I was ready she would help me list my house. When I agreed to list the house she did an outstanding job with pictures, video and description of the property. Within hours appointments were scheduled to show the house. Amazing!!!! As soon as I had an accepted offer Desiree helped me find my new house. Again, she scheduled showings for five houses and did not pressure me into making a decision. As we got closer to closing dates for selling and buying Desiree had everything in place with the title companies and other realtors. if I had any questions at any time Desiree I could email her and get a response with hours. If I sent a text I had an answer within minutes. This was by far the most professional and easiest sell and purchase I have ever had.
Very knowledgeable and thorough, had the right people to make this happen, on so many levels. Can't Thank You enough!!!
Desiree was EXCELLENT!!! She was always on top of anything that needed completing & went out of her way to get us whatever we needed at the time!! Highly recommend working with her!!!! Would DEFINITELY recommend her to ANYONE
Working with Desiree was a pleasure, she was very knowledgeable of the areas we were looking at and was very attentive to our needs and questions. Being from out of state having someone like Desiree to help us with different rules and laws was beneficial for us being able to purchase our summer home! Highly recommended!!
Five Stars!
Desiree was such a pleasure to work with! She kept the entire process of a home sale and purchase of a home flawless. Her honesty and great sense of humor during it all kept us confident she was literally taking care of it all for us. Even though many questions were asked, she was very responsive to texts and phone calls during the entire process as well. She said she would get us into our new home before a new addition to our family arrived in June...she succeeded! We would highly recommend the Wood Team for your home sale or home purchase...you won't be disappointed!
Desiree made our purchase process a breeze always there to answer questions with professionalism and timeliness! Would definitely choose her again and again!
5 stars! Desiree made our first home selling experience wonderful. She was knowledgeable, quick to answer questions and return messages, fair, and made us feel confident in our decision making. I would highly recommend her to anyone with real estate needs. She was absolutely excellent with paperwork and reassuring through the whole process. Thank you so much for selling our home quickly and stress free!
Oh my goodness! The best thing we ever did was to switch realtors and pick Desiree Wood. She knew exactly what to do to help the property sell. She communicated clearly every step of the way and working with her was a delight.
Desiree helped us through a 3 month process to buy our current home that had been a foreclosure. She was patient with our unending questions and helped us switch lenders when our mortgage broker fell through due to the property needing a renovation loan. We then worked with her to sell our old house. It took a year and a half, but we appreciated her persistence and ability to create new deals that would work for both parties. She's great at what she does and we'd definitely work with her again!
Desiree was extremely kind and responsive. I feel her customer service is top notch, I never felt rushed or ignorant in asking a question I was unsure on. In addition, she had great recommendations and connections for home inspection and Rodin needs. Would definitely work with her again!
Desiree helped us to purchase our home in Wisconsin. She was from the beginning our champion. Desiree went above and beyond to make our dream home a reality.
Desiree was a great asset and very knowledgeable about the community and up to date with what is going on in town. She actually has a lot of knowledge about home's, along with inner workings, and lots of ideas about changes in cosmetics or even renovations. Would recommend anytime.
My experience with Desiree was smooth as could be. Not exactly a huge fan of dealing with realtors, and she was extremely easy to deal with. Very upfront and aggressive when I was looking for a house in central Door Co. Found me a great deal and I would not hesitate to call on her again if I find myself in the market sometime in the future. Highly recommended.
After years of having the home for sale with other realtors Desiree came along and got the home sold which her and husband had a very unique situation and made it all come together and got it SOLD... thanks for all your work... I highly recommend the Woods...
Desiree and Matt were always available to help in our search for a home or property. We dragged them through many homes and lots and they were extremely helpful in providing supporting information as well as their personal insights. With their help we were able to successfully locate and purchase a beautiful lakefront Door County acreage lot.
Our home buying process with Matt and Desiree was AWESOME! They took the time to get to know us and helped us find the home our family really wanted! Even though we LOVE our current house, if we ever need to buy a new one, we are going right to them for help!
Desiree and Matt are absolutely fantastic, consistently going above and beyond to provide exemplary experiences. Quick contact and response, tireless work, great attitudes, etc. I recommend them 100%.
Desiree and the Woods team, was diligent, honest, and resourceful. They gave us guidance without pressure making the entire process smooth and comfortable. We would enlist their services again without question.
Desiree was incredible to work with from the start to finish....100% professional and honest, i would never go through another realtor!
We cannot say enough about the Wood Team. They have been so helpful and patient we would recommend to anyone and would definitely use them again.
Desiree and Matt are fantastic people. They were very patient with us taking the time to find the right home for us. You might laugh but it took four years to do it but they did. Having someone willing to invest that kind of time in a customers is very commendable ! Thank you Very Much, Greg & Ronnie Sunila
Desiree and Matt are fantastic people. They were very patient with us taking the time to find the right home for us. You might laugh but it took four years to do it but they did. Having someone willing to invest that kind of time in a customers is very commendable !
We just closed on our new home last Monday. I was referred to Desiree by a good friend, while I was just navigating the realtor world as a first time home buyer. I told her I needed someone really on top of my calls and texts because my family and I needed to find the perfect house, soon. She didn't disappoint, always responding very quickly and with enthusiasm. Luckily it didn't take long to find our home and she made things happen. We got lucky and had easy sellers too, which helped make this process smooth and fast. Couldn't be happier with all who helped us!
The Wood Team deserves five stars in my book. They helped us all along the way, and it made a difference since it had been many years since we had purchased a home. Many, many, thanks for a great team!!
We are so glad our old neighbors recommended Matt and Desiree. Matt helped us look for a nice 4 Br home and drove quite a few miles to show us homes as we had a large area to look in. Both were very easy going and personable!! Matt worked out the details on a home we found that was a FSBO and they had our house sold in about 24 hrs. Can't say enough about how smooth of a process they made it and have recommended them to a few people already.
The Wood team made the process quite painless. Even on days where they were unavailable, they always made sure I knew who I would be able to contact if I needed any questions answered. I never felt any pressure to put offers in or do anything else other than what I was ready to do. The Wood team was very willing to make everything from viewings through closing, all happen based on my schedule.
Three words...thorough, knowledgeable, and patient. Purchasing a home is a complicated process. There are many components that are engaged to complete the transaction. Matt Wood was like an orchestra conductor, cueing each group of instruments (components) to play their notes at just the correct time. He kept the tempo lively and fun. The last notes have faded away and now is the time to reflect on the beautiful music. Bravo Maestro!
Matt and Desiree were awesome! They were very responsive, helpful, and fun to work with. They both have a great sense of humor, and are very relatable with a young family of their own, so they knew exactly the type of accommodations we were looking for in a new house. Plus Matt has an awesome lumber jack beard , that any beard guy would envy LOL. I would recommend them to anyone!
First off, we can't say enough about how amazing Matt and Desiree are. They went above and beyond for us and trying to find the perfect house. We have been working with them for about a year. Going to various showing, talking with them about our needs/wants for a house. They always answered our many, many questions no matter what time of the day it was. If that's not awesome enough, they helped to sell our house we were living in less than 12 hours. I would hands down recommend Matt and Desiree to anyone looking to buy or sell their house. They are truly amazing people!!! -Joe and Cassandra Petska
Matt and Desiree Wood and the entire Wood Team were amazing! They listened to what we were looking for and actively included us in the process. We found our dream home and they were involved throughout the entire purchase and they sold our existing home extremely quickly. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for someone to listen and understand your needs and go above and beyond in the process of buying and/or selling. They are an amazing team!
Working with Matt was a fantastic. Patient, no pressure, and always willing to find the answers to my questions even during odd hours meant I was never left in the dark. His frank honesty and good humor helped build a great working relationship and, in many ways, helped me learn the homebuying process for myself. If he is still around when I'm ready to purchase my next home I plan on calling him first!
Matt and Desiree are great to work with. They answered every question we had promptly. If they didn't have the answer they found it. They were always flexible. Matt and Desiree gave great advice and help us with any questions we have, even now, after we closed on our new home. We highly recommend them for any real estate need that you may have!
Matthew and Desiree wood were absolutely amazing I would definitely recommend the wood team
Matt and Desiree Wood were professional, accommodating, and efficient throughout the process of buying our home. They were willing to answer any and all questions with quick responses. My spouse and I were in different states during the process and the electronic documents were easy to understand and sign. We highly recommend them when you are looking to buy or sell a home. It was a wonderful experience because of Matt and Desiree's dedication to their clients.
Desiree is amazing!! We were buying a home from across the country and kept running into problem after problem. She stayed on top of everything and presented different solutions to each situation. We would not have our beautiful home if it were not for her. We were so impressed we recommended her to my parents and she did a fantastic job with their purchase! Desiree is knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and tenacious! Thank you so much!!
To say that Desiree and her team helped us with our purchase of a plot of land would be an understatement. Long story short, we decided that some acreage along the Lake Michigan shoreline was too good of a deal to pass up. One problem, we live out of state. So, I did a google search and after reading nothing but positive reviews, I made a phone call to Desiree and left a voicemail. By that afternoon, she had called me back and answered every question/concern I had about the property (I had done an OCD amount of digging to figure out if this was a good idea). We decided to put in an offer, and in the meantime she made some recommendations on who we could use locally to finance the purchase. After playing the offer/counteroffer game, we checked some boxes and the land was ours. Usually, this is where I would assume the assistance would end from a realtor; HOWEVER, Desiree went out of her way to help my wife and I find a surveyor and a company to run a perc test on the land. She also gave us recommendations on where to eat in the area once we were in town, and was just a text away when we had a question about having some stairs repaired that lead to the shore. I cannot recommend this team enough!
Desiree helped us navigate a multi-offer situation when buying a home. She was knowledgeable, professional, persistent (we had a few issues along the way!) and on top of it all, a blast to work with! If you've been struggling to get the home you want in today's market, choose The Wood Team.
Desiree and Matthew are by far the best real estate team on planet earth. They are quick to respond to any question and I am not sure when they sleep, they are also there for you any time of day. They truly are a great team and would highly, no I would say only recommend them!!! R and B Ahlswede
I would give Desiree and Matt a 5 star rating due to the fact that they sold my house in a day.
Matt and Desiree were a dream to work with! Our home search was in a very limited area. Matt and Desiree were so patient with our search. They went above and beyond in so many ways. Whenever we needed something it was a quick email, text, or call and they responded promptly and with great care and professionalism. We can't say enough good about Matt and Desiree. And we can't imagine working with anyone else. We would give them 10 stars if the scale went that high. Amazing! For the sale of our home we could not have been more satisfied with Matt and Desiree. We had our home listed on a Thursday and had an accepted offer by Saturday night! And we got more for our home than we thought we would. Matt and Desiree's expertise and guidance throughout the entire home buying and selling process was fantastic! Kudos to Matt and Desiree, and to Shorewest for having such great representatives. Thank you again for a truly amazing home buying and selling experience!
Desiree was amazing!!! Very knowledgeable and always willing to answer any questions I had!!
We loved working with Matt and Desiree! As first time home buyers, they were so helpful in providing us information and explaining options we didn't even know we had. Matt was our main point of contact, and he was friendly, always available to answer questions, and very informative. We have already recommended Matt and Desiree to friends who are considering buying, and will continue to do so!
We probably just went through one of the most insane, stressful, crazy house selling processes, but Des was there the entire way. She is super personable and isn't afraid to make calls or knock on doors to help you. At one point we were having trouble getting information from the bank, Desiree took the matter into her own hands and was able to get what we needed. We definitely couldn't have done this without the help of her and her team. Simply the best. Five out of Five. Would recommend.
We had used another realtor and started to believe what people had told us - buying a house was a very difficult process. Fast forward a couple of years and enter Desiree Wood. After we found something we loved, the buying process was smooth and to be honest - easy! The credit for that goes to Desiree. She was always in constant contact throughout the process. Answering our questions and even asking a few. She had excellent recommendations (financing, home inspection, etc). Everyone she recommended was fantastic to work with. Bottom line is we felt extremely comfortable with Desiree and completely trusted her! Could not be more impressed with the experience and we have already started to recommend Desiree to others. A month into our new home and we have Desiree to thank!
Outstanding! Matt & Desiree are patient, genuine & relatable. A first home purchase is daunting, but they made it an approachable, painless process. Some wrenches were thrown into my closing, but Matt & Desiree were quick to relay alternate solutions.
I had a great experience working with Desiree. I loved how responsive she was to all of my wife's requests and questions. She knew far more than I ever hoped to about the process of buying a home today compared to 10 years ago when my wife and I bought our first home together. Desiree knew the area very well. I highly recommend Desiree!
Desiree is knowledgeable, understanding, honest, fun and extremely thorough. I was confident from previous experience that she would take care of everything and communicate throughout the selling and buying process. She listed our home and within 3 hours a private showing was set up and 3 hours after that we had an accepted offer! Without her I would have never gotten this far, and certainly not with my sanity intact; I absolutely recommend Desiree!
The best experience one could have when purchasing their first home. The Wood Team went out of their way multiple times to accommodate our needs and my family appreciates the dedication and care we were given. We love our new home. Thank you!
She gave good ideas to get the house ready for market and the house sold quickly!
We will recommend Desiree to anyone who wish to sell their property. She was outgoing, friendly and very knowledgeable in our endeavor. Desiree managed to show our listing numerous times compared to the other realty company. Very aggressive and that's the way to be. She also answered my concerns of the sale of our listing, thus taking the worry out of the equation. Top notch realtor. I can see why Justin Hoffman our realtor in Franklin recommended her.
Desiree was a true professional who looked after our every need, she was very attentive, and such a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend
I spoke with a handful of realtors over the phone, and even looked at a few houses with one, before I called Desiree and finally felt like I'd found somebody who understood what I wanted and had the right answers to my (many) questions. I live out of state, and wanted to find a second home in Door County, but had limited time to actively look at houses, and took a trip to WI with all of my hope pinned on finding the perfect home in one week of viewings. Although this was to be a second home, it was my first home-buying experience, and Desiree not only had answers to all of my questions, she asked all the right questions on my behalf throughout the entire experience. I ended up finding the perfect house -- what unbelievable luck -- and made an offer that week, and I feel certain that the storm of offers, counter-offers, addendums, amendments, notifications, emails, phone calls and millions of text messages that followed would have buried any of the other agents I'd considered working with. Desiree was completely on top of everything -- documents were received, signed and returned within the hour almost every time -- and knowing that she was working for me long after I had had to return home to North Carolina made the whole home-buying experience much easier. Desiree made what could easily have become a very stressful experience an exciting one, and I now have the house to prove it! I would absolutely recommend her to anybody looking to either buy or sell a home; she works hard, knows the business, and I had a great time working with her. Do yourself a favor and call her!
Desiree we WAAAYYYYY above and beyond when we needed to sell our house to purchase a larger home. She stayed on top of things and documents.... made sure things were going as planned with our lender, appraisal, home inspection and so on. We would not have met our target closing date if it wasn't for her. Our house hit the market and she had it sold in 4 days! Very passionate about her work and getting people the home they want. There really is nothing else she could have possibly done. I would NEVER use another agent!
