REALTOR® Désirée King is our visionary expert who possesses a unique blend of knowledge, compassion, and foresight, setting her apart in the field of real estate. She is dedicated to empowering families with the expertise and tools needed to make life-changing decisions throughout the downsizing and estate settlement processes.
Désirée’s transition into Real Estate was a natural progression, as she has travelled to many destinations worldwide developing an appreciation for fine architecture and interior décor. While taking her first few Real Estate courses she knew that she had to specialize to make an impact in the highly competitive Toronto market. So she etched out a niche that allowed her to continue working closely with older adults.
Her passion for working with the elderly, stem from her early years watching her mother who was a Geriatric Nurse for over 40 years’ work with her elderly patients within the community, working as a Candy Striper and Dietary Aide in several Toronto area hospitals, and owning a company that delivered prescription medication to primarily seniors.
Désirée’s desire to service the aging marketplace compelled her to secure several designations including: SRES (Senior Real Estate Specialist), CAPS (Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist), Lifestyle 55+ Affiliate, & Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE). Desiree also has a Certificate in Gentle Persuasive Approach (GPA). GPA certification has allowed her to better understand dementia and its responsive behaviours to respond effectively, respectfully, and safely.
Désirée is also a Certified Executor Advisor (CEA). This means that while she is an expert in Real Estate, she also has a broad practical knowledge of everything that executors need to know, making her uniquely equipped to steer executors away from potential problems and toward the professionals they need.
As a proud wife and mother, Désirée always puts God & family first. Outside of Real Estate and family, Désirée enjoys good food, good music and travelling.
Désirée’s goals remain steadfast; to go beyond what most Real Estate professionals do by not only representing her clients in the Sale or purchase of their home to the best of her ability, but also by educating them throughout every step of the process armed with top-notch information and market insight, so that they make the best decisions possible by using her Signature C.R.A.F.T. system.

REVIEWS
I would like to thank Desiree for the sale of my home. From our first meeting I was impressed with her professionalism and expertise. Her presentation was detailed and precise, that I felt confident I had chosen the right person. Throughout the entire process she remained in contact and prompted to answer any concerns I had. She was efficient and effective in the preparation of the house, the de-cluttering, the cleaning and any repairs needed. Desiree was always there with her support and confidence. She even went as far as helping me with the selling of some of my personal items. When it was time for the sale, she guided me step by step through the entire process. I can't highly recommend her enough, she followed through everything she had shared during her presentation. I'm not sure you can find a better agent.
