Denice Nagel

We highly recommend Denice! Ours was an emotional journey as we moved out of California before our home was even ready to be put on the market. Denice guided us through-out this process, not only with her professional realty expertise, but also with emotional support as we embarked on this change in our life. Throughout the process we felt like a team. She advised us on home improvements we could make to enhance the home and referred trusted colleagues (painters, handymen, flooring professionals, cleaners, stagers) who could perform the improvements and prepare the house for the market. We left California and put our full trust in her handling all the aspects of selling our home. She kept us updated with daily phone calls, zoom calls and/or emails and handled it all with the utmost professionalism. Her knowledge of the Bay Area real estate market, marketing strategies and connections enabled the quick sale of our home that we lived in for 40+ years. It sold in 5 days with six offers all over list. If thoroughness, integrity, trustworthiness, ethics, and having a strong untiring advocate is important to you, then choose Denice Nagel as your next agent.

Denice Nagel was our realtor who help us purchased our first CA home back in 2013; now we wanted to add a second home, our first step was a call to Denice for help. The pandemic has hit the real estate market extremely hard causing mortgage brokers to tighten up their lender offerings, finding a jumbo loan was quite a challenge. However, with Denice’s experience in the business, she made several calls to the lenders and encourage us not to give up on our dream. We found our second home and happily living in it now. We believe it’s happened all because of the hard work and dedication of Denice. Thank you, Denice! you are the BEST.

I will be forever grateful to the colleague who recommended Denice Nagel, who is an exemplary real estate professional. I would say that Denice worked magic for me, but it wasn’t magic – it was her experience and expertise, the relationships she has cultivated, the time and energy she devotes, and the level of commitment, consideration, and caring she has for her clients. In the stressful world of California real estate, Denice was a staunch ally ready to use all her experience and resources. When the mortgage companies associated with my relocation team clearly didn’t understand the California home buying process, Denice had the absolutely perfect referral for my situation; when I needed a notary ASAP to re-do relocation paperwork, she made a quick call and I had a connection; and when there was something “off” with the paperwork for a previous renovation at what became my new home, not only did she accompany me to the City Building Division, she later called the inspector of record and was able to have the issue corrected immediately. Denice used her experience to coach me through the offer process, recognizing that while I needed to understand how the sellers would view my offer, I also needed to be comfortable with my offer, and, with offer in hand, she went to work again, presenting the offer in person, highlighting its strengths and the strengths of its foundation, and to this, I attribute being able to enjoy my lovely new home. Feeling this way about my new house is not by luck or accident; it is the culmination of the time Denice spent getting to know me, becoming acquainted with needs and desires, likes and dislikes, conventionalities and quirks – and I knew exactly how deeply she’d listened when she showed up on moving day with the “obligatory” lemon tree that was missing from the yard.

My husband and I have had the privilege to work with Denice on both the buyer and seller's side. We had the unheard of success to have our first offer on a single family home in a competitive Peninsula market be accepted over multiple bids. We credit this in part to Denice's strong network with local agents and deep knowledge and understanding of the market. Denice advocated for and helped with our new home even beyond the day we moved in! Denice made selling our townhouse during shelter in place markedly less stressful, in part to how organized and proactive she was in making sure we got all of the inspections and vendor estimates completed well in advance of listing. Her existing relationships with stagers, flooring people, etc. made dealing with all of these appointments a breeze.  Our townhouse had multiple offers within 5 days of going on the market and sold over the asking price and set a record for biggest sale within the complex.  Most importantly, Denice is an extremely kind and caring person and really put in the time and energy to get to know our family - we now consider her a friend!

We cannot recommend Denice highly enough! She's a consummate professional and knows Bay Area real estate like no other. Her intimate knowledge of seemingly every neighborhood and sub-division on the peninsula have helped us find the perfect house twice now. Her strategic knowledge of the market also enabled us to prep and sell our old house in a multiple-offer scenario that got us top dollar. As important to how good she is as a realtor is how good she is as a person. She's extremely affable, easy to work with, patient, and unwaveringly kind. Our kids love her as much as we do! We've worked with her - and have become good friends with her - since 2015 and are happy to recommend her to everyone we know!

Couldn't have dreamt of a better agent than Denice! She eased all the fear and stress we had about selling the home that was in our family for over 40 years. Her knowledge of the market and connections to the tradespeople necessary to beautify our property are unmatched. Painters, landscapers, cleaning crews, stagers, you name it, Denice has working relationships with all the best. She patiently answers every question and is always reachable immediately. Her professionalism is impeccable and her calmness, pleasant demeanor, and humor allowed us to be as relaxed as possible about the biggest transaction of our lives. Offers came after the first open house, and she negotiated the sale for over 200k above asking price. She is not only the best agent, Denice is a friend for life! Hope you get to experience the pleasure of working with Denice.
