Denise was extremely helpful and supportive with the sale of our house. Even though I was out of state, she kept reassuring me that she had it under control. And she did! With her years of experience, knowledge of the area and of the market, brought assurance that we had the right person. Every question was answered quickly and clearly, making sure we understood. I know Denise went above and beyond from beginning to end of the whole process. The house sold after one week on the market! Her negotiating skills proved themselves, as the sale price was great for both parties. If you ever need a Realtor to sell or buy a home, give Denise a call. Thank you Denise for your patience and support. We appreciate your positive attitude and professionalism. Best regards, Tracy Tuohy

Denise Montalvo was very understanding throughout the entire process. She was very prompt to answer any e-mails and phone calls, no matter how trivial. I was looking for some rather specific criteria that would be hard to check all the boxes. No house is perfect, but her guidance and understanding were immeasurably appreciated during the process. She is not a 'pushy' realtor and I felt no pressure to make an offer on a house that I was not comfortable with. Denise is well regarded by her peers and this made the 'negotiating' period productive. I will always appreciate her easy going manner and no pressure approach to buying a home.

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. She is very knowledgeable about the Marin county market we consulted her with almost every improvements we made to the house to increase the value. She also referred us to contractors, painters, carpet installers... You name it. She is so well connected to the community everything went smoothly. We would not hesitate to work with her again.
