We are real estate investors with 40+ years experience, but Denise provides us with deep local market knowledge. She has extensive relationships with other agents that keep her closely attuned to what's selling and for how much. She's a strong, very capable asset in representing us with her peers and with buyers/sellers. She provides buying/selling strategies and negotiating skills that prepare us and represent us well. We feel confident that our buying and selling needs are being met by the best!

Denise knows everything about buying and selling homes. She can set your expectations accurately and help in every step of the way.
The most important thing in an expert is the ability to answer the questions that we don't know enough to ask -- and has a gift for it!
Selling and buying a house is incredibly stressful, but Denise never gets rattled and knows how to solve problems before and as they arise.
So pleasant to work with, such a pro.

Denise helped me sell my Petaluma house recently, and it was a pretty seamless experience. Her obvious knowledge and familiarity with the local market helped set a good sales price; she referred fabulous people to do the work I wanted to do prior to putting the house on the market (all coming in with the best estimates and doing great work - painter, stager, landscaper, handyman) - and was always available to manage the ins and outs of them all as I was not in town; she did a stellar job creating professional materials and getting the house properly listed; and she was a steadying influence through the challenging moments that inevitably arise during the process of selling your home.

What else can you possibly want from a real estate agent who is helping you let go of a place you’ve lived in a long time and are inevitably attached to?

If you’re looking for someone to either help you buy or sell a house, don’t settle for referrals from friends and family (as I did and didn’t go well). Do your due diligence and go with experience and someone that knows the market where you’re looking or selling. I can’t imagine anyone fulfilling those requirements better than Denise Lucchesi. Oh, and she’s a sweetheart too...someone who listens to your needs and works with you to fulfill them, is patient, and clearly cares about the people she works with.

Thanks Denise...things couldn’t have gone better with what was a tough time for me, and getting the best possible result (a neighborhood record!).

In January I began interviewing Buyer's Agents to help us find a beautiful home in Santa Rosa for a 1033 Exchange. We had been online shopping for homes for a few months, but my husband and I decided to combine some home tours with some other business in Santa Rosa. Hands down, Denise was the most knowledgeable, best prepared, and most genuinely friendly of all of the people I interviewed! We decided to work with her exclusively; best decision ever.

On the very first day she was able to get us in to see four homes and then several the following day (following all COVID-19 protocols and getting all the documentation executed in a timely manner). Unexpectedly, we fell completely in love with a home we saw the first day and, by that Monday, we were ready to see it one more time and make an offer. We laughed so much through this process...I'm pretty sure Denise had as much fun as we did those first two days.

When creating our offer, Denise guided us expertly through the thought process so that we could make the right offer. We followed her advice and our offer was accepted! Denise did loads of research - checking and verifying permits, historical information, setting up additional inspections - so that we would have all of the information we needed before we lifted contingencies. After some interesting discoveries, she helped us make a counter offer - also successful! As we navigated through escrow Denise smoothly handled every challenge we faced. At every turn we felt safe and well-informed with Denise. I'm pretty sure she never sleeps.

We enthusiastically recommend Denise Lucchesi. She's the best of the best.

Denise has been so easy to work with. She often works long hours to help her
clients out with a problem. Our computer which had been reliable for so many years
finally reached it's final days right during the sale of the home. If paperwork did not come through Denise would try different avenues to get the program to us and was very
successful. One way or another we got the job done successfully. The sale was a 1031
Exchange which provided further challenges when it came to meeting deadlines.

When we first viewed homes.....and there were a parade of them, Denise was quickly
able to make a visual assessment as to what we were looking at and notice things
that we may have missed. She also had meticulously done her homework on each
property and if there was something that was not noted she quickly researched it and
provided us with the answer. After viewing so many homes the process can become quite exhausting and after a while details tend to be forgotten. Luckily, Denise was there to quickly refresh our memory.

Denise Lucchesi definitely knows the real estate business here in Sonoma. From personal experience I find Denise to be kind and patient and is someone who deeply cares that her clients experience is positive one.

Denise Lucchesi was referred to us by our relatives. This was our first home buying experience and Denise made it go very smooth. Denise always had clarifying answers when we were uncertain about specific items. Denise did an extraordinary job from start to finish and I would highly recommend her to all of my family and friends.

We were apprehensive about being able to sell during the pandemic. Denise Lucchesi was a calm presence, did her research and was convincing that we could make the move. She knew how to price the house, what needed to be done to the interior, and it sold almost immediately at a price we were very happy with. Not only is she very professional and knowledgeable, she is super nice, enthusiastic and a pleasure to have on your side. Thank you, Denise!

We are so grateful to have had Denise help us sell our home. She's super knowledgeable, an expert communicator, very thoughtful, and calm under pressure. And we sold our home for more than we thought possible before the pandemic, which is amazing.

Thank you, Denise, for being there to guide us every step of the way.

Denise Lucchesi is amazing. I am a Realtor and am learning all the time from the way she navigates through the most difficult transactions, negotiations and circumstances during the sales process. She has the utmost integrity, plays by the rules and has great instincts for good deals!
We love working with Denise.

Again, Denise Lucchesi is a great Realtor and a really great person.

Karly is great and super helpful and sweet as well.

Anita Buckner
Sonoma, CA - May 16, 2020

Sandy's suggested I use Denise and after speaking with her by phone, I felt a good connection. She listened to and understood my needs and concerns.

I really had to trust Denise's advise in this time of sheltering in place. We had a contract ready when the shut down happened and that fell out of escrow. Denise kept me up to date with the new circumstances and I felt very confident in her.

Across the board excellent!
