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.

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and she did an amazing job collecting all of the information about the property for inspections, boundary lines and historical documents.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!
