"As first-time home buyers, we worked with Denise Therieau and George Penner of Compass, both of whom we would highly recommend. With our never-ending questions and concerns, we were very happy and grateful for their support from start to finish throughout this process. From finding the right home, navigating the negotiation and offer process, arriving at the right price and finally closing, we always felt comfortable and part of a team that was seamlessly working together. Denise and George worked tirelessly and always provided sound feedback. They had thoughtful answers to our questions and made the process of buying a house enjoyable as we felt that they always had our backs. Denise, with her pleasant and professional manner, handled the conversations with the seller’s agent superbly. During the contingency phase, their recommendations for inspection professionals were spot on, as they worked efficiently, quickly and effectively with a high level of care and detail. Furthermore, we also had a great experience with the mortgage broker that they recommended. Overall, we feel that it would be hard to top our experience in buying our house, and we would like to highly recommend Denise and George (as well as their support team at Compass), as we will work with them again should we ever decide to buy or sell another house."

"We've had the pleasure of working with Denise on several real estate transactions over the years, and each experience has been exceptional. Denise is not just a realtor; she's a trusted advisor who truly cares about her clients' needs. Her deep knowledge of the market, coupled with her keen eye for detail, has consistently guided us to make the best decisions. Through the sale of our first home, to finding a rental in a new community, through a subsequent purchase, and into ongoing episodic exploration of new opportunities, Denise has always been by our side, offering invaluable insights and support. She navigates even the most complex situations with ease and always keeps our best interests at heart. Denise’s professionalism, integrity, and dedication are unmatched. She goes above and beyond to ensure every transaction is smooth and stress-free. We couldn't imagine working with anyone else and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Denise isn't just our realtor; she's become a part of our family."

"When the family decided it was the best moment to seek a more streamlined living space we set about seeking the perfect agent to help us with this process. After interviewing a number of agents we decided on Denise and we are very thankful that we found her. Denise understood right away what we were looking for and provided excellent help and support all along the way.  She had a treasure trove of "helpers" at her disposal and every person was respectful and provided high quality work. The sale of our property was swift and the transition process was all we envisioned.  We highly recommend Denise Therieau as a professional, diligent and attentive agent for your real estate needs."
- Roger & Dory 

"Denise Therieau has been my agent in multiple real estate transactions over the past decade.  I have placed my trust in her professional talents to sell my sister's home, my parent's home and my home of over 18 years.  She has a thorough knowledge of the market, shown significant dedication and energy and has demonstrated an attention to detail, both large and small.  I highly recommend Denise Therieau and would not hesitate to request her expertise in the future."
