Denise Zervos | The Luxury Home Experts at Platinum Real Estate

I'm Denise Zervos, Associate Broker, co-owner of Platinum Real Estate and co-founder of The Luxury Home Experts with my husband, Mark Zervos.

Our reputation has been earned through decades of successful real estate transactions, trusted relationships, consistent production and results. With more than $1 billion in successful transaction closings throughout our careers, including $65,719,000 personally closed by Mark and me in 2025, our business reflects the experience, commitment and strategic representation our clients have come to expect.

Our roots run deep in Northeast Ohio, where Mark and I grew up, built our real estate careers and established the relationships that remain an important part of our business today. That history gives us an understanding of the communities, neighborhoods and property markets we represent, developed through years of personal involvement and professional experience.

Our established presence encompasses Lake County, Cuyahoga County and Geauga County, including Mentor, Concord Township, Willoughby, Willoughby Hills, Kirtland, Kirtland Hills, Waite Hill, Gates Mills, Hunting Valley, Pepper Pike, Chagrin Falls and the surrounding Cleveland luxury real estate markets. From established residential neighborhoods and Lake Erie waterfront properties to exceptional estates and acreage residences, our experience reflects the diversity of Northeast Ohio real estate.

As Florida residents, we also bring firsthand knowledge of Southwest Florida's luxury coastal lifestyle and real estate market. Our expertise extends throughout Marco Island, Naples, Port Royal, Aqualane Shores, Bonita Springs, Estero and surrounding waterfront communities, representing distinctive coastal residences, luxury estates, Gulf-access homes, beachfront condominiums and second-home properties.

Our transaction history includes exceptional residential properties, significant waterfront and lakefront homes, luxury estates and a landmark Port Royal sale exceeding $26 million. While we have represented properties at the highest levels of the luxury market, our standard of representation is not determined by a home's price. Every client deserves knowledgeable guidance, thoughtful preparation, strong negotiation and a strategy appropriate to their property and objectives.

For sellers, our approach begins with understanding what makes a property valuable and how to communicate that value to the marketplace. We examine relevant sales, current competition, buyer expectations and the individual characteristics that distinguish a residence. Our marketing combines sophisticated photography, compelling property storytelling, strategic pricing, targeted digital exposure, established professional relationships and broad market reach. Equally important, we actively manage the process from preparation and positioning through negotiation and closing.

For buyers, our role extends beyond finding a property. We provide insight into market conditions, neighborhood distinctions, property characteristics, ownership considerations and long-term value. Whether purchasing a luxury estate, waterfront residence, second home or established residential property, our focus is on helping clients make informed decisions with confidence.

Our reputation is founded on the trust we have earned, the relationships we have maintained and the results we have delivered. We value the responsibility that comes with representing someone's home or investment, and we believe that exceptional real estate service requires more than marketing promises. It requires experience, accountability, personal involvement and a clear understanding of the client's goals.

The Luxury Home Experts at Platinum Real Estate was founded on those principles. Our broad marketing reach connects properties with opportunities beyond their immediate communities, while our local knowledge and established relationships keep our representation grounded in the places we know.

That's the meaning behind our philosophy: Global Reach. Local Roots.

If you're considering selling, I welcome the opportunity to discuss your property's value, its competitive position and the strategy I would recommend. If you're purchasing, I'd be pleased to help you identify the right opportunity and navigate the transaction with confidence.
