We have been working with Denise for many years and she helped us sell and purchase multiple properties. She is accesible, professional, and helpful on all aspects of the transations. A pleasure to work with.

We are very satisfied to have worked with Denise. She helped us along improvements to the property and our house sold within two weeks of placing it on the market. We would not hesitate to work with her again.

Denise anticipated our needs every step of the way, and was always available to answer all our questions. Denise is very knowledgeable and she made the process of looking for, and buying our first home such a smooth process. We appreciate her patience and support, and are so happy with our purchase.

Denise was so great to work with on our purchase. Her knowledge of the process was outstanding and very helpful. Always right there if we needed to talk and always quick to respond if we had a quick question. She took our purchase very seriously and had our best interests always. Look forward to working with her in the future and would definitely recommend her if you are purchasing a home or a piece of land.

Denise Montalvo was a terrific agent for us. She is kind, thoughtful, patient, smart and efficient. She was always available for home tours. She and I toured many houses together until we found the one we fell in love with. She was always adamant about having the feeling that “its the one”. My husband and I are absolutely taken by the property we purchased with her guidance and work. She has a lot of knowledge about houses so it was very helpful for us being first time home owners.

Denise was very easy to talk to, connect with and she did an amazing job collecting all of the information about the property for inspections, boundary lines and historical documents. She helped us a great deal with negotiations and we are thankful for her!

Her kindness, energy, strategic mindset and determination made this home buying process with ease. If we buy again, I would have her as our agent again. I highly recommend her to anyone!

Denise was very professional-I would use her again and highly recommend her to friends and family.

This is a 4th property that Denise has helped us in buying/selling. We trust her fully to facillitate all of our transactions, overseeing all the appropriate actions.

Denise is always available to answer all our questions, deal with all situations immmediately, and understands our needs

fully trusted to have our back on all transactions

Highly recommend Denise for any real estate needs

I am so very grateful Denise Montalvo helped us sell our home. She worked very hard and went above and beyond her duties as a Realtor. I don't know if we would have been as successful, had we not had the guidance and wisdom and most of all patience from Denise. I highly recommend Denise Montalvo to any one serious about selling their home.

Denise Montalvo puts her all into her work, with amazing attention to detail. She is exceedingly professional, experienced, and successful. She has terrific resource connections, and is unfailingly kind, honest and generous with her time, advice, and help.

Denise Montalvo was enormously patient and kind in the very, very difficult process of getting my house ready to sell and all during the time it took for it to sell in a slow market. She was extraordinarily helpful in explaining everything during the entire process of the sale and with facilitating the enormous amount of work it took to get the house ready. She was fantastic at planning and coordinating the preparation for sale and with the ongoing marketing/advertising.

This was my first time selling a house, and I had lived in it for a very long time. Denise walked me through every step, referred me to and helped with all the vendors and all resources used to get the house ready and to sell it, She was extremely knowledgeable regarding resources and the market, and gave me continual information and support throughout the entire process. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to sell and/or buy a home.

I was torn choosing between 3 really nice and knowledgeable realtors in the beginning. I chose Denise because she seemed really interested in understanding my unusually complex situation, more like a friend than someone I'd just met. And I was impressed by her being a top producer in the county. I knew what a huge amount of work it was for her to have sold 16 homes in the previous year, so I knew she was a hard worker.

We contracted right before covid which then changed my moving plans. So I was on again, off again several times over a couple of years. She stuck with me through it all. She insisted I'd do best if my home was vacant. So I needed a hard money loan to buy a new home before I sold. This opened a whole new can of worms and stress. Including that we were listing coming into the slow season. Denise offered comfort and wise advice through it all. I was most resistant to hiring a very expensive stager but I kept falling back on Denise's experience and it was the best thing! I know it was that which made us get 5 offers all way above asking price. I'm so grateful I chose Denise.

Denise is simply the best agent in Marin County, and I would highly recommend
her to anyone needing to sell a property.

She is so thorough in everything that she does to prepare your property for sale,
and to get you the top price.

She is nice, kind, and interested in helping you make the sale at the highest
price. She works for your benefit, not her own. She was down on her hands,
and knees fixing my kitchen floor! That was only part of what she did.

How many agents would do that!

I was privileged to have Denise Montalvo as my real estate agent, and that
she became my friend.

She is simply the best around!!!

I was not present in California. In spite of this, Denise managed beautifully. We communicated closely at every turn. She helped me improve the property and it sold very well!
Thanks Denise!

We were very impressed by the way that Denise listened to our needs and understood our situation. She was always accessible with the information that we needed. Nothing slipped through the cracks. She delivered on everything she promised and in a very professional and personable way.

Denise did a fantastic job listening to our needs, finding a home, and leading us through the transaction. She has great local knowledge and would recommend to anyone new to the area. Thank you Denise.

Denise Montalvo was always very professional and kind. She was always on time anytime we had to meet her. She always kept us updated with any information or changes. We appreciated that she took the time to explain things and answered all our questions and was always available for questions or concerns. She pays a lot of attention to detail and made sure our house looked perfect before a showing. We were also very happy with the photos used for the sale of our home. Denise is very approachable and listened to our needs, took them into consideration and made appropriate accommodations whenever possible. We will absolutely be recommending her to family and friends.

Denise greatly exceeded our expectations! When we decided to sell our house, we called Denise. She met us on site, walked the property and got back to us with a great plan to market the property. She assembled a fantastic team of people such as the home and termite inspector, septic inspector, painter, carpet sub, house cleaner, window cleaner, stager, and photographer. Everything she recommended doing was well worth it. We had no idea how many people were involved. She went out and bought several items like towel bars, and fabric for curtains, a mirror, etc. We reimbursed her for the materials but she sewed the curtains and hung them, installed the mirror, brought over some staging, lined the sink cabinet bases with contact paper, and even applied a furniture product to some of the natural wood surfaces to bring them back to life. Plus, she supervised the carpet subcontractor, painter, cleaners, landscaper, etc. all while we were out of town for three weeks. When we came back the house was ready for photos. Her photographer was excellent as you can tell from the photos and video if you are able to view them. We had a solar lease on the property which Denise dealt with. Dealing with them was no easy feat, but she got the paperwork done with no delays, just lots of phone calls. She picked the exact right time, to put the house on the market. It went on, on a Tuesday and was in escrow the following Thursday for more than $200,000 over asking. Nine day close. Once the house was ready to go everything was completed within three weeks without any hassles or difficulties. We cannot say enough about how impressed we were with her and how comfortable and painless she made the whole experience. She was always available and is an excellent communicator. We highly recommend her.

Denise was always very pleasant to work with, and she was always looking for ways to help us with our purchase (e.g., pointing out factors we should consider and giving us useful information, ordering roof and window replacement estimates, arranging various inspections for us, and asking sellers questions for us). She was also always happy to help us in any ways that we asked her to (e.g., showing us lots of houses, and patiently waiting for us as we looked at some of them in great detail).

A really great realtor!

Denise is a top notch realtor that gets the job done. We purchased two homes through her and sold one and every transaction has been smooth and easy. She make the whole process easy but most importantly exceeds expectations.

Denise Montalvo was very friendly, attentive and responsive throughout the entire process. She took fabulous photos and was very helpful in advising on how to best market the property. I would definitely recommend her to other sellers and buyers.

Denise did a great job in helping us find a home. She was knowledgeable, courteous, patient and took the time to understand our needs. She did a good job communicating and advocating for us during the purchase of our home. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in the North Bay Area.

We are first time home buyers and right from the initial phone call with Denise Montalvo we felt understood. Denise was easy to connect with and was responsive to our needs. She exhibited excellent and consistent communication along the way and helped us to understand the process.

Denise was patient with us and also creative and worked hard to find the house that we wanted in this current market. We would highly recommend Denise and would love to work with her in the future if we ever want to buy another home.

Denise was very knowledgeable, communicative, and helpful during the entire process of selling our home. She did a wonderful job explaining things that we had questions about or did not fully understand and took the time to assess what factors were important for us in a home and financially. She was always reachable and very available/flexible to find time to show homes. Her knowledge and contacts with other realtors and other clients interested in our property made a naturally stressful life decision to sell a home so much less stressful and smooth. We would 100 percent recommend anyone thinking about moving to work with Denise.

Denise Montalvo is simply a true master in her real estate agent profession and easy to be around; she is easy to trust and to have confidence in her work on our behalf.

I cannot overemphasize how impressed my wife and I were with Denise Montalvo as our real estate listing agent. She misses no important details; her knowledge and helpfulness in answering our questions or assisting us we appreciated immensely. Denise was truly a hands on and hard working professional real estate sales agent for us.

Denise showed her great design skills and eye for featuring our home in the best way at the least cost. I remember another real estate company offering the services of a professional consultant for $14,000 (at closing) in preparing your home for sale and staging it properly, plus the cost of the necessary work on the home! You will save money for this important help in getting top dollar for home by choosing Denise as your listing real estate agent. We got multiple bids in just a few days from listing for our condo which we knew was not in demand as much as were single family homes. Denise is simply the best!
