About Denise

My greatest accomplishment is earning my clients' trust, working entirely from repeat clients and referrals."

It is not only Denise's duty to represent her clients, but also to educate them throughout the process so they can make decisions with confidence.

Along with relevant information and market insight, Denise's armed with local knowledge of these areas. Denise started working in real estate in 2002 after a bad home-buying experience.

Friendly Professional With Great Attention To Detail

I interviewed two other agents before I picked Denise. She combined her extensive knowledge of the market with her caring to create an optimal selling environment. She explained what we had to do to prepare the house. We followed all her advice and got an offer within a week. We got a fair price in a difficult market. Thank you DENISE!

We LOVE Denise! She’s the absolute best!

We have used Denise to buy and sell several homes over the years. Her knowledge of the market and willingness to go above and beyond is unmatched. Denise always makes you feel as if you’re her only client and her communication is fantastic. Denise is so gracious and professional and an absolute joy to work with.

Simply, the Best

Working with Denise was a pleasure from our first consultation right up to the last minute of the closing. Her advice on prepping our house for sale was invaluable, and her team (painter, stager, and cleaner) all performed way above expectations. She was great with helping us determine the proper selling price, even in a market with few comps and changing interest rates, and I really don't know what we would have done without her guidance navigating all of the legal aspects of the sale. She was always prompt to address any concerns we might have had along the way, so we always knew we were under her protective wing! Denise sold our home in just three weeks from initial MLS listing to closing. We got our price+. The closing was a breeze. Denise knew the market, the way to correctly price, market and stage our property. She knows her craft. Thank you again, Denise--job well done!

Excellent strategy, smooth execution, & successful closing in a tricky market. Well done, Denise!

Denise and her team (assistant, stager, trusted contractors) did a very professional job to support us through a quick (5 weeks from listing to closing) and predictable sale of a patio home in a 55+ community. No suprises! We communicated well on the market evaluation of the house and she delivered on schedule for all of the critical steps of the process. Denise's business relationship with reliable contractors to help prepare the home for showing and to resolve some minor inspection objections came in very handy, too. Don't know how the prep-work, staging, listing, showing, reviewing offers, getting under contract, inspection, title work, appraisal, and closing could have gone more smoothly.

Best Realtor!

Denise was very proactive from our first encounter throughout the selling process. Her attention to detail and ability to negotiate on your behalf is what sets her apart. She was very knowledgeable about the value of our property and the minor things that we could do to make the property show better. She was responsive to all our questions and a delight to work with. Thank you Denise for a wonderful experience!

Denise goes the extra mile!

When we decided to put our home of 26 years on the market, it came with some worry. We had an unusual, special property that took just the right buyer. Denise marketed our home beautifully, even having an open house with ice cream and s’mores, what a treat for potential buyers. Denise kept us up to date, calm and informed of all the changes the market was doing. We had interest in the property, but no offers at first. With Denise’s expert advice, we made a tweek to the price, and boom, we had multiple offers. Denise is a constant professional. She is knowledgeable, informative and truly gives her clients the support they need during what can be a stressful time. She stayed on top of the buyer making sure deadlines were met, she gave us peace of mind. We couldn’t ask for any more. We hands down would recommend Denise to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, she goes the extra mile and does it with smile. Thank you Denise- you are one in a million!
