About

I’m a top-producing Realtor and Certified Global Luxury Specialist, as well as a long-term resident of Marin. In 2023, I received the Marin County Agent of the Year award from Rate My Agent for my client satisfaction.
When I'm not selling real estate, I love to spend time running the trails of Marin and taking pictures along the way. I'm known as the "Realtor on the Move – Keeping Pace with the Market." I keep up with the latest trends and developments in the area so that I can provide you with the most up-to-date information and guidance.
Real estate is about more than just finding the perfect home; it's also about navigating the complex market and making informed decisions along the way. Selling real estate in a competitive market demands skill and stamina—qualities I bring to every transaction. I leverage my experience to ensure a successful outcome, whether you're buying, selling, or investing.

Denise Mentalvo is the type of realtor who will always go the last mile for her clients.
Denise's style is friendly and professional. She stays current in Realty issues and has great local knowledge. She also has a strong base of referral business partners - carpet cleaners, storage, inspectors, etc. She made selling and buying properties a pleasure and a "no brainer".

My wife and I have worked with Denise Montalvo for over a year. We have been looking for a house in Marin. From the beginning we enjoyed working with Denise. She took the time to listen and understand what we were looking for and we feel she really got it. I always felt she had thorough knowledge of her market and she was honest and open in her communication. Denise has always been patient with us as we changed directions and looked at different options. We truly appreciated that. When we decided to sell our house in San Francisco we did not hesitate to ask Denise to help us. She was honest in telling us that SF was not her area of expertise, but she steered us in the right direction. Because of our trust in her, we insisted she remained involved in the process nevertheless. She did not disappoint. We turned to her many times throughout the process and she helped us immensely with her knowledge, expertise and honest opinions. We would not hesitate to recommend Denise as your agent regardless of if you are looking to buy or sell.

Denise went above and beyond what any agent has done for me before. I’ve bought and sold properties before, but Denise was the first agent to actually hold my hand through the entire process. She has numerous contacts she can recommend for any services you need. She has extensive knowledge of Marin county and how processes and procedures work in CA. She understood what I was trying to accomplish with my 1031 exchange. She’s very patient and well respected. I’d recommend her to my friends and family without hesitation.
