Denise just helped me buy my first home, and I am eternally grateful. She educated me about the process, helped me along every step of the way, and was always patient, always had time for me, and was always FUN! She does not just work 9-5, but was always there when I had a question, and was as excited for me as I was. She knows the market, knows what is good and bad about properties, and I trusted her completely. I cannot recommend her more highly! Thank you, Denise!

She did an excellent job helping me to find & purchase my house some years ago. Since then I have seen her complete a number of complicated sales- some to the amazement of other agents. Market knowledge, problem solving, attention to detail, communication- you cannot do better in Marin/Sonoma counties.

As a Realtor for a quarter century myself the choice of an agent to represent my California property was critical. The home was my mothers and held huge sentimental value to me. Denise was compassionate, concerned, involved and diligent about every detail. I could not have made a better choice. The house was under contract within 4 days of the list sting hitting MLS and it brought a bidding war pushing the price to an undreamed figure. I consider myself very lucky to have found an agent with heart and courage. Yes, I would recommend Denise Montalvo most highly!!! It takes bravery to negotiate strongly for a client's needs, particularly if there's chance of losing what seems like otherwise a great deal. Denise was calm and cool under pressure. If she was nervous about our position, she never let on.

Denise successfully sold my condo in Novato at Scottsdale Way working with her was delight. Her diligence and support (to my completely pathetic emotional state sometimes) was wonderful, she was always calm and kind and on top of every issue that came up. I will most definitely be happy to recommend her to my friends.

Denise helped me successfully sell my condo in Novato at Scottsdale Way, for a very good price and respected that I wanted to put it on the market for a certain price. Her publicity and flyer was outstanding and showed my home beautifully. She was with me all the way, "holding my hand" and giving me her wisdom. Working with her was delight. Her diligence and support (to my completely pathetic emotional state sometimes) was wonderful, she was always calm and kind and on top of every issue that came up. I will most definitely be happy to recommend her to my friends.

Denise took time to understand my goals. We had coffee and discussed and planned the decision to sell. Timing, hard work and dedication resulted in successful sale and meeting my expectations and goals. I am pleased with the results and highly recommend Denise and her agency to assist you in your buying or selling need. A trustworthy and professional agent. DC

Great professional. Understood my goals and met them.

I felt Denise Montalvo took really beautiful care of us, both selling the house and when we purchased the property in 2008. I felt tremendously safe and cared for. She has a great eye for detail, and I highly recommend her.

I can't say enough good things about Denise Montalvo. She is a joy to work with; calm, patient, meticulous, dedicated, warm and honest. Denise immediately grasped my situation, price target and what I was looking for. She is a creative thinker and a resourceful guide. I learned so much from her. Mine was a difficult escrow/closing with with complications that included a hostile seller, a rehab loan which required numerous inspections from the bank and extra paperwork. Denise stayed on top of everything and kept me informed at every turn. Buying a historic, uninhabitable fixer with a rehab loan is harrowing experience. Denise hung in there with me though hell and high water and I doubt I could have gotten through it without her good humor, encouragement and expertise. I would highly recommend Denise Montalvo to anyone.
