Desiree Goldman’s Real Estate Philosophy

As a specialist in Luxury Homes, Desiree’s business philosophy is summed up by the phrase “Exceptional Homes-Exceptional Service.”

When Desiree became a Realtor, she quickly determined she wanted to work with quality. She demands nothing less in her life, and believes her clients deserve only the best.

Exceptional Homes. Desiree’s homes are not commodities. They are unique, built with integrity and finished with special detail. Desiree’s extensive work with high-end builders allows her to confidently assess what you can and cannot see, assuring clients of the value they will be receiving for their investment.

Exceptional Service. Buyers and Sellers of higher priced homes have more at stake, and therefore higher demands. Therefore, Desiree makes an explicit promise to provide Exceptional Service.

Through Desiree’s eyes, Buyers will better appreciate the distinctiveness of a prospective property. They will also understand its flaws. After all, price alone is not an accurate indication of quality. Desiree’s clients make well-informed decisions.

Desiree helps Sellers showcase the characteristics of their house that make it a home for discerning buyers. She reveals what cannot be seen and spotlights otherwise subtle attributes. Quality doesn’t always speak for itself. With Desiree, it doesn’t have to.

What Do Martial Arts Have to Do with It?

Desiree has an unusual avocation. She has long been involved in the martial arts. As with her other endeavors, she excelled in this pursuit. She was awarded a 2nd degree black belt and won a Tae Kwon Do National Championship.

Tae Kwon Do is more than physical exercise. It encompasses life-leading tenets of Courtesy, Integrity, Self-Control, Perseverance, and Indomitable Spirit.

If you are looking for an agent who will work with a focus for your best interest, determination in tough situations, and grace under pressure, you will appreciate Desiree's training in martial arts. Desiree Goldman is a Real Estate agent with a kick.

A Real Estate Consultant – A Brief Biography

Desiree was raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida where she worked as a project manager in her family Consulting Firm. Later, she ran her own Management-Consulting firm. Desiree specialized in helping small business owners, and enjoyed the positive impact she could have on individuals’ lives.

In 1996, Desiree moved her family to Chapel Hill, where she continued to help small business owners as a consultant. Although she continued to love helping people through her work, by 1998 Desiree had tired of the traveling required, so she looked for a way to apply her skills and experience locally.

Consulting with folks on their Real Estate needs was the perfect solution. Consultants help people determine what they need, and how to get what they want. Now Desiree could help people on a more personal level, while staying put in the community she had come to love so much.

The career change also allowed Desiree to spend more time with her family - her 18-year-old daughter Alexis and 13-year-old son Steele - and become involved in the community, serving as past PTA Co-President at Frank Porter Graham Elementary and Carrboro Elementary.

Desiree is currently serving on the Chapel Hill Carrboro Chamber of Commerce Government Relations Committee and the Economic Development Committee. She serves as a liaison to the Chamber for the Greater Chapel Hill Association of Realtors.
