Denise Montalvo's Reviews & Ratings

Tell us about your experience with
Denise Montalvo

    • Denise helped me prepare my home for sale. She advised me on staging and pricing. I received 5 offers all over asking and sold quickly. Now I can retire in San Diego near my family.

      - Ed Corillo
    • Great professional. Understood my goals and met them.

      - Dennis Chung
    • I felt Denise Montalvo took really beautiful care of us, both selling the house and when we purchased the property in 2008. I felt tremendously safe and cared for. She has a great eye for detail and I highly recommend her.

      - Mia Runanin
    • Denise is the best. What sets her apart is that she is incredibly patient and has your best interests at heart. We worked with her for close to 18 months looking for our first home in Marin on a small budget..not an easy task!! We had really high expectations and changing needs as our family grew but she never pressured us into a neighborhood or price point we were uncomfortable with. I always felt I could be open with her even when I knew we sounded ridiculous. In the end she advised us on the most lucrative terms/offer on a home in a neighborhood that we never dreamed of being able to get into and most importantly we don't feel like we settled. Thank you Denise for standing by our side on this very long and emotional rollercoaster!!

      - Eric and Emily Shobe
    • Denise just helped me buy my first home, and I am eternally grateful. She educated me about the process, helped me along every step of the way, and was always patient, always had time for me, and was always FUN! She does not just work 9-5, but was always there when I had a question, and was as excited for me as I was. She knows the market, knows what is good and bad about properties, and I trusted her completely. I cannot recommend her more highly!

      - Meredith Kornfeld
    • Denise Montalvo was amazing at helping us find investment properties with equity potential. She was aggressive about getting offers in early and she negotiated hard to get the best deals. She helped us with two home purchases and I'd be happy to recommend her to anyone who wantsto do well in real estate investing or purchasing a home for themselves! She is pleasant to work with, follows through diligently and gets the job done. I'd recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in Marin.

      - Karen Behnke
    • My wife and I really enjoyed working with Denise Montalvo as she really understood our needs and found us properties in ideal locations. She even helped us rent the space to qualified tenants after escrow closed. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in Marin. Denise was aggressive about identifying the right investment properties and acting fast so we'd be successful buyers.

      - Howard Luria
    • You've done a great job Denise. I appreciate your professional skill and also how you tuned in to what I was looking for. I'll be happy to refer others to you who are looking to buy or sell property.

      - Jay Wood
    • Denise never gave up on finding us a home even though our needs changed during the process. She was patient and worked diligently to find us the home we wanted. I highly recommend her to my friends and family.

      - Raquel Jiminez
    • Denise was always very professional and clearly committed to ensuring that we got the office space that we needed with the pricing and timing that we wanted. She was truly tireless in her efforts to support our search and she continuously stayed in touch with us to keep us in the loop of what was going on. I will definitely seek Denise out whenever I decide to move my office again.

      - Laurie Nardone
    • Denise understood what we wanted and which location would fit our needs. She found a space that wasn't on the market yet and helped us secure it quickly.

      - Ken & Christina Flach
    • I can't say enough good things about Denise Montalvo. She is a joy to work with; calm, patient, meticulous, dedicated, warm and honest. Denise immediately grasped my situation, price target and what I was looking for. She is a creative thinker and a resourceful guide. I learned so much from her.Mine was a difficult escrow/closing with with complications that included a hostile seller, a rehab loan that required numerous inspections from the bank and extra paperwork. Denise stayed on top of everything and kept me informed at every turn.Buying a historic, uninhabitable fixer with a rehab loan is harrowing experience. Denise hung in there with me though hell and high water and I doubt I could have gotten through it without her good humor, encouragement and expertise.I would highly recommend Denise Montalvo to anyone.

      - Gail Tarlow
    • We got a referral for Denise through a friend of my father. We were still oblivious as to what was the right approach to sell the house. Denise came in with a plan and that plan worked. We got an offer for close to 10% over asking within the first day and closed that offer within 30 days.During the process she was diligent and knew exactly how to handle each situation that arose. We were undergoing an international move at the time so were under an incredible amount of stress and I've got to say that selling our house was the easiest thing we did during that time, due in no small part to Denise's professionalism and knowledge of the market. We would definitely use her again.

      - Chris Gleason
    • When I needed information about the value of my home Denise came to my rescue. She was fast, efficient, and sensitive to my needs. I have called on her several times over the past year with different issues and she has been wonderful. I do not hesitate to recommend her to anyone that is buying or selling a home.

      - Cheryl Spater
    • As a Realtor for a quarter century myself the choice of an agent to represent my California property was critical. The home was my mothers and held huge sentimental value to me. Denise was compassionate, concerned, involved and diligent about every detail. I could not have madea better choice. The house was under contract within 4 days of the list sting hitting MLS and it brought a bidding war pushing the price to an undreamed figure. I consider myself very lucky to have found an agent with heart and courage. Yes, I would recommend Denise Montalvo most highly!!!
