"Denise made the entire experience smooth and pleasurable. She is a great listener (and the importance of understanding what a home buyer is looking for cannot be overstated enough), she managed to translate our wishes into concrete plans and actions, communicated with great clarity us at every step, paying a lot attention to details while patiently explaining the process to us. We were almost in disbelief when we realized that getting the property we dreamed of was actually going to happen, and all thanks to Denise's relentless and accurate work. We couldn't have asked for a better service and, in our humble opinion, she has now set quite a high bar for performance in her profession." - Enzo Carrone

"We have had the property on market multiple times and for many years, but didn't make the sell, including with brand-named agents self-claimed as being the #1 in the Bay Area for high-end properties. We eventually found Denise (actually she found us) and she took the task very seriously and professionally, and made extraordinary efforts, including setting up, decorations, maintenances, etc. and many other details. And her communication with potential clients was just excellent. Since both my wife and I were working aboard then, it was difficult for us to look after the property during the period. Denise and her husband provided helping hands and taken care of the property down to the very details, as if its their own house. The end result is: the property was locked with serious offer in about ONE month after the house was put on to the market for the Nth time (not even during hot sale season) and the transaction was completed smoothly in less than 3 months while we were on the other side of the Earth. The contrast of Denise and her professional service is so large in comparison with the many agents we have had previously, the only rating we see appropriate is nothing else but full Five-Star." - Youqui Wang

"Denise is fantastic! She knows the real estate business inside and out. She has helped us with several transactions and we are always happy with her work. She is energetic, knowledgable and well connected. Denise goes the extra mile to make sure things are done efficiently. With her vast network, she knows the right people to contact to make sure everything goes smoothly with both buyers and sellers. I highly recommend her and we plan to work with Denise on any and all real estate transactions in the future!" - Shaheen Oshtory

"The Villeneuve team is absolutely fantastic to work with. We were new home buyers, so needless to say, we needed a lot of guidance & help. Denise was so patient with us - responded to all of our silly questions on email, stayed late at the office to help explain things to us, joined us for some of our house tours.. The listings website is really easy to use. She sent us listings that she thought matched our interests, the open house timing etc. She was great at setting expectations from the start - this is a very challenging market to buy in; however, she was very encouraging. When we finally settled on a place, she went above and beyond, setting up a meeting with the seller to present our offer(s). She negotiated on our behalf & helped us stay within our budget, which is fairly challenging in the bay area. She was absolutely fantastic & we would recommend her to anyone." -Sara Wozniak

"Denise did an excellent job of helping my family purchase our first home in California. After hand-holding us through the initial sticker shock of California housing prices, she worked tirelessly to help us find the perfect home and to feel good about the decision. We have not regretted for even one minute the decision to got with Denise as our realtor and she has since helped friends of ours buy and sell their homes to their complete satisfaction as well." -Terry Spurling, Menlo Park

"One of the finest, most experienced agents in residential real estate. My dealings with Denise have always been professional, quick, and accurate. An all around Great experience to work with her." - Bill

"I have known Denise for a number of years as a real estate agent. She is extremely professional in her dealings with various people in the buying and selling of residential properties. During the last couple of years, Denise had assisted and managed a number of real estate transactions for my family. Denise is very knowledgeable and extremely thorough in her market analysis. She understood the changing real estate market landscape in a very difficult real estate period in California. She provided us with valuable information that enabled us to successfully execute the sale and purchase of properties in the California real estate market. Her in depth analysis and thoughtful recommendations helped us to look at the real estate landscape objectively which led us to make the right decisions to both sell and buy properties in a matter of few months. Her demeanor was excellent to deal with people from all walks of life to negotiate and resolve issues with prospective buyers or sellers, banks, mortgage brokers etc. that made everybody very comfortable to deal with her. I have no hesitation in recommending Denise to any body to consult her for their real estate needs." -Rohit Khosla, Atherton
