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!" - Lou & Maureen Matis - Seller

"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." - Dave and Patty Randall - Seller

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 a smile. Thank you Denise- you are one in a million!" - Dave and Danette - Seller

Knew what to ask when I didn't
"She was incredibly friendly, honest and helpful through the whole process. She was on top of every step. Anticipating every next step she helped prepare us as much as possible. Denise made sure we were making a great investment for our future and in the most welcoming way." - Chris and Victoria - Buyer

No question, Denise was our person!
"My husband and I have been talking about downsizing for years. We weren’t sure we could leave are beautiful home of 26 years, we were definitely hesitant. Denise let us know about this little gem in Wheat Ridge, my old stomping grounds. The minute we walked in the front door and saw the picturesque lake views, we knew our new chapter had begun. Denise is knowledgeable, supportive and truly took our needs to heart. Her attention to details are one of the many reasons we chose her as our realtor. . She knew not just any house would do, she listened and was as invested in our dreams and excitement as we were. Denise isn’t just our realtor, she’s our friend." - Dave and Danette - Buyer

★★★★★
"Denise was professional and really got to know us before she started representing us for buying a home in the tough market that we faced. We trusted her instinct and negotiation skills and we closed on a home without any issues. I would recommend Denise to anyone buying from out of state, as she was flexible to our calls and accommodating to us flying in. She knows the Golden and surrounding areas well and if she ever didn't know something, she always knew who to ask and get us the information we needed as fast as possible." - Tim and Karen - Buyer

Denise is incredible!!!
"Denise HAS to be one of the most patient realtors out there... Between my work and travels, it took me around 2 years to find a house and finally settle on one. Denise was always there jump back into the searching with me each time I was back in town. This was my first time buying a house so not only did she help me find one but she educated me throughout the whole process. The house buying process is certainly an overwhelming one but Denise did just a good job walking me through everything. With 20 years of experience under her belt, you can trust her!!" - Nate - Buyer

★★★★★
Top notch service!
"This is our second transaction with Denise (purchase and recent sale) and her customer service is top notch! She spent time with us on strategy of timing, pricing and staging with step-by-step assistance through the entire process. I don't know how, but she is available 24/7 and follows up on every detail. She always has the best interest of her clients (and their families) in mind through the entire timeline (and even some extra!). I am so very grateful to have Denise as part of our family!" - Norm and Kacey - Seller

DENISE is simply THE BEST!
"We have known Denise for 6 years now. She first helped us to buy our first home in Denver. I remember Denise drove me around showing me different neighborhoods South of Denver. I think we saw over 20 homes in about 2 weeks. Coming from a different state and different house styles, I was learning about basements, humidifiers, different builders, etc. Denise had a lot of patience with me, and she always went above and beyond my expectations to answer any questions or concerns. We purchased our first home in Castle Pines, Co. It was such a wonderful experience, very easy to work with, always available to answer our phone calls, and if she was not available she always called us back right away. My husband and me have purchased and sold several homes in our 32 years of marriage. We have moved a lot because of my husband’s job. We have worked with many realtors and Denise is just not an amazing very profesional real estate agent, she became our friend. Her people’s skills and manners to treat customers make her simply the best! We have not worked with another person like Denise. Buying and selling a home can be very stressful but working with Denise you know that she is really working hard for YOU. It’s not about her commission and a pay check. For Denise her customers are very important and she makes you feel it. After a few years in Denver we had to sell our home in Castle Pines and we called Denise. Our house got multiple offers the open house weekend. It was fantastic, we had to work with Denise and her team to prep the house for the open house and it all paid off, we sold our home FAST, and we moved back to Texas. After a couple of years and my husband and I really missed Denver. So we called Denise and she helped us again with the purchase of our townhome. The experience was very unique because we were in Texas and she was helping us long distance and in a different time zone. We knew that working with Denise was the best decision we could have ever made." - Alfredo and Leticia - Buyer

"I was searching for a family home in the Denver area, but couldn't be there through the process. The market is brutal for buyers right now in that location, and Denise found house after house that fit our needs, but someone always beat us to the punch. She doubled her efforts and found a great house, and personally wrote a letter to the sellers about us... and they took our offer! And that was just the start. She then handled everything for the following month... paperwork... inspections... exceptions... more inspections... etc.. , up to the closing date. She was always in constant, up to the minute communications. She smoothed out every speed bump along the way, and made this the easiest, and most pleasurable home purchase I have ever experienced."

★★★★★
"Denise made our lengthy experience fun and informative. We spent many months with her on 'research' trips to determine the best area for us to live. We found the location and house we dreamed of and never looked back! Her attention to detail and customer service focus is amazing. She was a partner with us, answered all the questions we had (and still have!), and always made us feel #1! Her knowledge of the market, areas and the process is top-notch. Denise puts her heart and soul into the experience right along with you. She was our greatest asset!"

★★★★★
"When I had the idea of purchasing my first home I was intimidated by the competitive market. Denise walked me through eatch and every step of my buying journey by first educating me on the the process, then familiarizing me with the market, and by scheduling a variety of showings around my schedule. It wasn't easy and I almost wanted to give up due to the limited supply of property available when I was looking. However, Denise kept me motivated and when it was time to make an offer she helped me stay competitive. We ended up finding the perfect fit for my situation and I can't thank her enough. I can't imagine a better buying experience and would recommend her to anyone that is serious about finding their new home."

★★★★★
"Knowledgeable and works her tail off to make sure that she finds the right home and deal for you. Although, it was difficult for awhile Denise helped me stay positive and we finally found the right home for my family and I."

★★★★★
"Denise is an utmost professional and incredibly easy to work with. She is exceptionally knowledgeable about the areas we were looking for homes and was candid with her responses to our questions about them. She worked with us for 6 months in the incredibly difficult Denver area real estate market and fought hard for us on every offer that we put in. Upon getting an accepted offer she lead us through the entire closing process, answered all of our questions, and kept everyone on schedule for a timely and well-executed closing. This was our first home purchase on top of the difficulties of this market, and Denise guided us through it all with exceptional character and kindness. For as long as we're in the area and Denise is still working in real estate, we will utilize her services."
