Denise was a great choice for helping us sell our Petaluma property. Her market knowledge and up to the minute insights were invaluable in a time mixed signals, and she helped us price and market the property to maximum advantage. The volume of prospective buyers and multiple competitive offers generated were all we could have hoped for, and Denise helped steer us towards a great transaction. Her experience and attention to detail came into play at several points, and underscored the value of a full service partner in the sales process. Would not hesitate to use Denise again and would recommend to others.

I had interviewed a few realtors and decided to work with Denise because I felt she was the most experienced and knowledgable of the area. Denise was very easy to work with providing a professional relationship and making the sale very seemless for me. I am the trustee for a trust that owned the property and being so far away in San Diego, I needed a reliable and trustworthy professional I could depend on. Denise provided just that. I would highly recommend working with her.

I feel very lucky to have worked with Denise. As her client I felt that she was dedicated to selling my property at the best price. Her communication skills are excellent and that made sorting through offers and understanding the nuance of each choice understandable. I appreciated her collaborative style and her intense knowledge of the area specific to my property and the real estate market in general. I highly recommend working with Denise!!

Denise went above and beyond in her knowledge and professionalism. She helped us in the sale of two homes and the combined purchase of another. It all went very smoothly and closed simultaneously and flawlessly.

Denise Lucchesi has helped us purchase two homes and sell one, and in all cases she has exceeded our expectations, helping us with all aspects of the purchase or sale. She found us a home before it was listed, when we were struggling to find a large enough place to fit our family. She gave us very important advice for staging the house we sold and sold it very quickly for a great price. And she managed the complex process of gaining inspections, repairs and insurance for our newest home, efficiently and enthusiastically. It is a pleasure to work with her and we would, of course, always choose her as our realtor.

Denise was extremely helpful. We would often receive emails late into the evening, and calls early in the morning; I swear she never sleeps! Her attitude was always positive and cheerful, even when the news was less than amazing. Denise worked very hard to recommend homes that met all of our needs and kept us informed the entire process. Anytime we had any questions she either answered right away, or within 12 hours, very impressive. The entire paperwork process for buying our first home was intense, but Denise held our hands through it all and made it remarkably painless. She came highly recommended by a friend, and we were not disappointed. If you are looking for a home, Denise is the person talk to!

Denise is the best. Very knowledgeable and understanding of the emotional side of the process. She knew what the market was and what to offer to make the sale. I have already recommended Denise and will continue to do so.

We have known Denise and her family for many years and so it was an easy choice to go with her when we needed a realtor, she sold us this house ten years ago, found a house for at least one of our kids, and now sold this house for us when we wanted to exit California. Great agent, I believe any reasonable person will be very satisfied with how she works, her integrity, and how she handles business. Should our kids in the area sell in the future we will recommend they go with Denise.

Denise offered to us what we were looking for: trust. She gave us very helpful advise during our first phone call and I think she slowly got to understand what we were looking for, because honestly we didn't know well what we wanted! We needed someone like her: patient but who gave us confidence that we would find our home on time... and we did. She also helped us navigate the disclosures and to make good choices in the offers. We missed the first house we wanted but we are glad now because the second one was even better and we love it each day more. Thank you, Denise!

Denise Lucchesi is the realtor at Century 21 who recently helped me purchase my new home in Petaluma. Her dedication to finding me the perfect home went beyond anything I could have imagined. Denise took the time to truly listen to me and understand my needs and preferences. She always gave me good advice about each house I considered and her attention to detail was remarkable. Her experience and knowledge ensure that all the required steps, paperwork and documentation were done correctly. I never had to worry about any potential issues, as she was always one step ahead of me taking care of all the details.

Denise Lucchesi was extermely helpful in the sale of our home. She knew exactly what was important to take care of and what was ok as is. Denise had all the contacts with contractors and staging professionals that were needed and coordinated them for us since I live out of the area. She kept up with the quickly changing market and got our home sold for a fair price in a fairly short amount of time.
