We love this company! Makes it easy and quick selling our home! We have used them 3x and have always had a great experience! We look forward to using them one final time to purch ase our forever home in the near future!
We worked with Darcy, a part of the Denise Maghielse company, in the purchase of our first home. Our experience was great! She was able to help us find the perfect house while working around our busy schedules. She was always quick to respond to any questions we had and helped us with all aspects of the purchase and made closing a breeze. I never imagined buying our first home would be so simple, but Darcy took care of all of the behind the scenes aspects, was always an advocate for us as the buyer, and always kept us in the loop. We would highly recommend this team!
Working with Maghielse was a great experience! Darcy did a great job keeping the process moving forward and also keeping everyone informed along the way. She was in tune with local partners, such as a mortgage broker and closing agency, that also assisted with keeping the process moving towards a closing. The negotiations were straightforward and honest, which I appreciated and was important to me. All of the above made for a great experience and a very seamless process, highly recommend!
Its been absolutely Great working with Maghielse & Company. They walked us through with constant communication and support from the start to the finish of the process. It was truly effortless on our part because Maghielse & Co. were tirelessly working behind the scenes. Were happy with the speed in which they were able to get our house on the market and sold. And were also very happy with the results of the sale. We intend on working with Maghielse on the buying end now. And we recommend them to anyone who is looking to sell.

Darcy/Denise is/was amazing throughout this entire process. We thoroughly enjoyed working with her and her integrity, knowledge and professionalism with a personal touch too! From our first meeting, we knew Darcy/Denise was the right one with the right personality to work with us. The beginning to the end, wow, so smooth, so easy for us and we know, now that we signed, everything was done correctly. Thank-You doesn't even say it all. It was Absolutely, amazing. Thanks Darcy/Denise!
Worked with Darcy Di Cesare through Maghielse and Company. She was a great communicator and worked very hard to help sell a home and secure a new one! Very pleased with my experience.
Maghielse & Company was a wonderful companion to help us in buying our house. Colleen was such a fun and knowledgeable presence showing us the right houses. She made the process a lot easier and explained things along the way. She was always there when we needed her. Highly recommend!
Maghielse and Company has been amazing to work with! Darcy goes above and beyond, and is super helpful and knowledgeable on both sides of the spectrum. I'm super thankful to be working with such a great and supportive team..choose Maghielse!
Denise Maghielse and Darcy Dicesare were excellent realtors who totally watched out for our interests in our recent home purchase in Pentwater, Michigan. We are from Florida so werent familiar with all of the details involved with buying a home in Michigan. Darcy saved us from buying a home that would have turned out to be an enormous mistake for us and guided us effectively in making the winning offer in a very tough real estate market. They are the best!
I wasn't sure it was even going to be possible in the current market, but they helped me find my dream home within my price range! Thank you so much!
Denise did an amazing job and we have only ever moved one other time in our 49 years of marriage. We were so scared and I am absolutely amazed at how well the Maghielse and Co. walked us through the process of not only staging our house, listing our house and searching for the perfect condo for our retirement years. But, all of my fears were eliminated after talking with Denise and her team! So much positivity and totally knowing the market is their life and passion for everything..... especially the timing, confidence and superior leadership through the first consultation up to the very end! Thank you Maghielse and Co. for your guidance and warm compassion to the beautiful end of the entire chapter! ??????
We can't imagine a better outcome in selling our home than we got with Denise. Her shrewd advice, strategy and management of the details got us multiple excellent offers. Whenever we were unsure about something she gave us the confidence to proceed. We highly recommend her and her team!
Denise and Darcy specifically were phenomenal. Caring, attentive to our needs and even made me feel better when things were not looking our way. She gave me hope that we could find our perfect home even in such a crazy market, and boy did she deliver!
Darcy and the entire Maghielse team were so amazing to work with. She was so helpful and knowledgeable about this entire process. Darcy was so quick in responding to all of our questions we had in the home buying process. everytime we wanted to look at a house she made sure we could get in there as soon as possible. Darcy knew exactly what to offer to make sure that we were getting the house that me and my wife loved so much, I can't thank Darcy and the Maghielse team for everything they did for my family
Denise recently helped us sell our home in Rockford. She is truly a blessing. She is so easy to work with and helped us navigate through this ever-changing housing market. We had some hiccups along the way, but Denise was reassuring and commutative throughout the whole process. We appreciated her advice and knowledge and are very grateful for her expertise.
Truly valued my experience working with Darcy and Denise. They were responsive to any questions and helped us sell our dads home after he passed. I do not live in the area and Darcy was very helpful. She negotiated well and helped us price the home fairly. I would recommend this agency to anyone!
It has been a wonderful experience working with the whole Maghielse team, we bought through Ryan and sold through Denise and have another project in the works. We could not be more happy!
Maghielse and Company came to us through a referral from a neighbor who used them to sell their condo. Trusting our neighbor, we decided to meet with Darcy Dicesare and see if there was a good fit. Darcy worked with us to find a time that meshed with our travel and work schedules and when we met her, we were very impressed with her attention to detail. Darcy quickly explained the Maghielse Process and how we would list our condo, hold showings, hold an Open House, and evaluate offers from buyers. As this was our first time as a seller, we relied heavily on the Maghielse Team to guide us through the steps and paperwork. After a short time on the market, we accepted an offer for our condo that exceeded our expectations, and the path to closing was smooth and well-communicated by Darcy, Denise and all of the others at Maghielse and the title company. We really liked the advice Darcy provided to help us prepare our condo for showings, and I believe that her input made us look as good as possible to buyers. Our closing was smooth and, on our schedule, to accommodate our timeline of moving. Darcy helped us from start to finish, and we really appreciated her communications, even replying to a question late on a Friday night while she was on her own time. She kept our stress level to minimum, and she really knows her role and performs flawlessly.
We have known Denise and Steve for years and this was our first time using them to sell a house. They were very nice and helpful with our questions and kept us informed on the progression of the sale. We would suggest that the Maghielse team review the listing before it is published with the seller as we found some wrong information that needed to changed. I would recommend using them to sell our buy your next home. Doug Brink
As a former Real Estate Agent, I know professional agents when I see them. Great team, especially Darcy! If youre looking to buy or sell I would recommend making the call to Denise today.

We absolutely loved working with Maghielse & Co LLC in both the selling of our home and in purchasing our new one. They were proactive in finding potential buyers for our home and moved very quickly to help get our home sold as fast as possible. They are knowledgeable, respectful, and did their best to make sure we were happy with the process. We would definitely recommend choosing the Maghielse & Co team for any of your selling/purchasing needs. Thank you so much!
This is the second time we have worked with Denise to sell our home. A great stress free experience! Very professional and a wonderful person! She took the time to personally guide us through the selling process. Very knowledgeable.
We appreciate the time and attention to detail provided by Ryan and Denise through our home purchase process. Their knowledge of the local area and neighborhood was extremely helpful. We would highly recommend them!
The whole experience was wonderful. All my questions got answered and the whole process seemed easy. I was able to feel like I could sit back and have everything taken care of for me. Will definitely recommend
Darcy was incredible to work with. She was always quick to respond to questions and got me in to every home I requested. She is very personable and I always felt like she had my best interest in mind. Thank you Maghielse and Co.!
We recently sold our family home using Denise Maghielse as our realtor. Communication was excellent and timely. She assisted with pricing but was also open to our input on pricing. Denise also gave us input to help us decide when it came to the actual sale. The showings happened quickly and the house sold quickly.
I absolutely loved working with Darcy! She was on time for every showing, and was able to get me into every single house I wanted to see. She took the time to get to know me and my family. She always wore a mask and was respectful in occupied homes. Darcy walked me through everything, being a first time home buyer, and made the entire process so easy. I could not recommend her and the Maghielse team enough!
Denise and the team at Maghielse were outstanding! We couldnt have been happier with our realtor, Darcy Di Cesare! Darcy is the consummate progressional! From our initial meeting to the closing, it was clear that Darcys experience would work to our benefit! Maghielses photographer took amazing pictures of our home and yard, the listing itself was awesome and I'm just 2 days, our house was sold! The icing on the cake: we were able to get more than the asking price!We would highly recommend the team at Maghielse to anyone and everyone!
Denise is amazing. She is honest and works very hard to make sure you are comfortable and satisfied. It was very hard for us to sell our house after living there for 19 years. We were downsizing and beginning another chapter in our life. She was very understanding and made us feel like we were part of her family. I would most definitely recommend her and her staff to anyone. Ryan was also amazing. He was attentive to our needs and was always available to show us houses. What a great team!!
We used Maghielse and Company when we sold our house in the spring nd wouldn't have chose anyone else to help us find land for us to build our forever home. We would recomened anyone use this company! They go above and beyond for their clients.
Working with the Maghielse team has been the best experience ever. Darcy helped us for three years before finding the perfect home. She never gave up on us and was honest the whole time. The way the house market is today, I was afraid we would miss a home we wanted to see. They were sure to be right there at their phones and help us the second we needed it. I will never go elsewhere and plan to use them again in the future.
We are repeat customers with the Maghielse team. We were so impressed the first time that there was no hesitation in who we would work with on the second go round. From start to finish this team HUSTLED. We had immediate showings and offers coming in the next day!! Darcy even got us a cash offer on Day 4! All of the prep work from staging to pre-appraisal really pays off. I have shared their name to anyone who will listen - this is THE team to work with! They just make it happen and it moves quickly! :)
We have now worked with Denise Maghielse on the sale of our home for the last 27 years, and my mother's home a few years ago. Denise's Team comes in with staging advice and another member comes in and takes the best possible photos of the home that will appeal to buyers. Denise herself responds to our emails, texts, and phone calls very timely, knowledgeable, and professionally. We really appreciated that response, especially in these uncertain times with the Covid 19 pandemic. Thank you Denise Maghielse and Team!
Maghielse and Company sold our house for us! We worked primarily with Darcy. She worked with our timetable, gave us great suggestions, and walked us through every step of the way. She connected us with the right people. Once we made our listing active, we had multiple offers within 36 hours and we chose the one that worked the best. Higher than we listed and higher than we expected. It was a great experience.
This team is nothing but the best!! I couldn't have chosen a better company to buy and sell my homes!! I have used the to buy and sell my homes TWO times. If I ever need to sell again, I'll be using Maghielse and Company! Thank you ! :)
Denise worked very hard through all the negotiating to get us a great deal. We had to dance with the buyer a few times before we were able to reach a compromise and was very impressed with Denice. We respect her honesty and integrity. We would recommend her quality help to anyone.
The Math: 2 days on market - at a price WE set above Denise's very thorough & thoughtful advisement - and a full asking price + offer.The behind the scenes: Denise listened to our thoughts BEFORE sharing hers; provided incredible insights on prepping & staging; used what must be a vast network of connections to drive exposure of our home to the proper prospective buyer profile; and landed us an offer BEFORE the planned Open House. Truth be told, we had MORE Showings & Showing Requests in 2 days than we thought possible - what a GREAT "problem".I would highly, Highly, HIGHLY recommend Maghielse & Company if you are considering selling your home.
This company helped us close quickly on our home to be able to purchase the home we really wanted to buy. They were responsive to our questions and always helpful. They made the process very easy.
Maghielse and company were extremely professional and supportive throughout the buying and selling process. We were able to find our dream home and sell our home for more than we thought possible! Will not work with anyone for my future needs.
From our first conversation on the phone with Denise through to the closing, we felt really good having such a professional on our side guiding us on selling our home. She has assembled a professional team that assist you in making final pricing decisions, arranging your home in a way that makes it more eye appealing, photographing the home and then marketing it to the public. Even after we accepted our full price offer, her team then assists you throughout the closing up until signing day. We couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you!
We are so pleased with Maghielse and Company. They are prompt and detailed. We bought a home and soon as we decided to sell ours, it was a few days and it all came together with stagger, pictures and listing. And it sold in 6 days!! The team is very professional and knowledgeable. We appreciate the level of detail and how they truly had our best interest. Thanks Denise and Darcy!!
We have bought a few homes which were not the best experience for us but working with the Maghielse and Company team was the best choice we have made when purchasing a new home. The fact that they are a family owned company and work so well as a team helped put us at ease. They were right on top of everything & kept us updated at all times. We worked with Darcy who actually would show us homes after hours due to my husbands work schedule. To us she went above & beyond & because of that we found our forever home. She sold our home for above asking price & helped us get our new home for under asking price. Along with some extra perks. We sold & bought the homes at the same time which can be very stressful. They as a team put us at ease and had everything under control. If we ever decide to buy again Maghielse and Company will be the only ones we will ever work with.
Ryan at Maghielse & Co. exceeded our expectations, and helped us find the perfect home. We moved from out of town, and he searched all over the GR area with us to help us find the right home. He was very professional, quick to answer our questions and schedule/attend showings (getting us into houses the same day), and worked very hard during every step of the process to make sure we were happy with our purchase. Ryan was also able to get us into some houses before they were listed which is important in a competitive market. Denise Maghielse also called and emailed throughout the process to share "next steps" and to make sure we were satisfied with our experience. This was a nice touch and made us feel like valued clients.Overall, after working with other realtors over the years, Ryan is the best we have worked with and we would highly recommend him and Maghielse & Co. to anyone looking to buy/sell a home!
We recently purchased a home with Ryan at Maghielse and were very pleased with the results! He was very timely, setup showings quickly and answered all of our questions. We ended up purchasing our dream home for an excellent price as well. Would definitely recommend.
I highly recommend Maghielse and Company for the buying and selling of your home. After a lot of research online to find the top reviewed area realtor, we confidently called Maghielse. We wanted only the best to help us find our dream home without having to do the work ourselves. We also needed help in getting our house ready to list and on the market as soon as possible. Denise immediately reached out and moved faster than we could have imagined. She is amazing. Friendly and personable yet charges to get things done. We went from not sure we wanted to move, to having our house professionally staged, photographed and listed within 4 days, as well as putting an offer on our dream house within just 2 days. In just two weeks, we had an accepted offer on our new house, and a full price offer on our own. That is the magic of working with Denise. If you want a company that is highly motivated to help you buy or sell your house, and has all the right people in place to help with each step of the process, this is the company you want to work with. Thank you Denise and Ryan!
The Maghielse team is top notch. Our family was fortunate enough to sell our home and purchase a new home with this Realty Team so we experienced both sides of their experience. Not only did we get top dollar for the sale of our home, we purchased the new property at such a good value we are starting off with equity! Would definitely recommend Maghielse if you are looking for local West Michigan experience.
My husband and I come from many years in customer service so needless to say, we're pretty picky people. We chose M&CO based on all the positive research we found...knowing nothing about them. We were moving from out of state and had a short window to look at homes. Denise was great as soon as I spoke to her. She partnered us with Ryan from her team, and said she thought, based on our conversation, he'd be a good fit for us. She was SPOT ON! He was exactly what we wanted! Anyone can drive around and show you homes, but Ryan was personally involved! He discussed pros and cons we may have overlooked, he gave us his opinion (based on our concerns), he did research, he got to know us so he could direct us based on what's important to US as a buyer. Most importantly, he NEVER made us feel like we were being fussy or nitpicking...he said, 'it's YOUR home, you're allowed to be selective'. He arranged us to see 21 homes in 2 days, due to us currently living out of state - our window was tight - he made it happen! Ryan continued to be the advocate we needed when we found our new home and were negotiating. If it was a concern of ours, then it was important to him! Through the many texts and phone calls, instead of getting annoyed, he praised us for our questions and encouraged our desire to be thorough. All the while, Denise didn't just 'pawn' us off and wish us good luck...she called and checked with us, praised Ryan, made certain we didn't have any additional questions or concerns - she was even there at our closing! I truly could not have been happier with Maghielse & Co and very highly recommended them to anyone! Especially if you are not easily impressed - they're up for the challenge!
