About Denise

Realtor on the Move – Keeping Pace with the Market

I’m recognized as a 2026 Real Trends Verified Top 1.5% of real estate agents nationwide and a Certified Global Luxury Specialist. In 2022, I received the Marin County Agent of the Year award from Rate My Agent for my client satisfaction.

I've lived in Marin for 30+ years, giving me firsthand knowledge of the communities, neighborhoods and characteristics that buyers search for. I've represented buyers and sellers in San Anselmo, Fairfax, San Rafael, Larkspur, Novato, Greenbrae, Corte Madera, Mill Valley, Tiburon and West Marin, as well as Sonoma County, Napa County and San Francisco.

I'm an avid runner, and some of my favorite ways to experience Marin are on its trails and roads with my camera handy. I have explored the neighborhoods, open spaces and communities throughout Marin, and photography has taught me to notice the details that make this place distinctive and desirable.

That same curiosity carries into my real estate work. I keep up with changing market conditions, neighborhood trends and the details that make a difference when you're buying or selling a home. I like to keep moving, keep learning and keep pace with the market.

Why Hire Me?

My approach to real estate is personal, strategic and hands-on. I believe successful selling starts long before a home goes on the market, with understanding the property, identifying its strengths, preparing it thoughtfully and creating a marketing strategy designed to reach the right buyers. Some of my sales include: $4,625M – San Francisco • $3.2M – San Anselmo • $3.1M – Tiburon • $2.4M – Mill Valley • $2.285M – Corte Madera • $2M – Larkspur • $1.8M – Fairfax • $1.7M – San Rafael • $1.7M – Muir Beach • $1.637M – Novato • $1.465M – San Anselmo • $1.2M – Lagunitas
