Denise helped me buy my first house last month! She provided the perfect combination of guidance, advice, professionalism, experience, honesty & availability. I had a fabulous experience with her and am so glad I lucked into finding her!<br/><br/>From our first contact, Denise got a clear idea of what my partner and I were looking for, what we could possibly afford, and what neighborhoods we'd be interested in living in. �Despite our doubts that we could find anything we could afford in a neighborhood where we'd feel safe enough. �Denise guided us to a couple of East Bay neighborhoods that were right in the sweet spot between too exp...

Denise changed the way I think about real estate agents. She is kind, patient, and really gets to know you and understand what you're looking for. There is never any pressure, only support. It took us over a year to find the right place and she was there with us every step of the way. She helped make a stressful and intimidating process into a fun adventure. We could never have done it without her!

Denise Milburn is by far the best realtor we have ever used!!! She a delightful person, warm, fun to work with and energetic. However, it was her knowledge and professionalism that impressed us. She is so well informed about the Bay Area market that we know that we got the very best deal for our needs and resources.Even though we live in New York State, and could only visit for a few days, Denise helped us find the perfect home! She sent us listings and information about the area before we arrived, and helped us narrow down the location where we wanted to live. We decided on Rossmoor, a retirement community, and she spent a day showing us a variety ...

Denise Milburn is a wonderful real estate agent who helped me to sell my tenant-in-commons unit in Berkeley and to buy a single family house in Pinole. She guided me through the process of preparing my home for sale and selling it, which was especially complicated and time-consuming due to the nature of tenants-in-common ownership. At the same time we were selling, she was helping me find houses to buy and once I found the one I wanted, she helped me to make an offer, which was accepted. The rest of the purchase went very smoothly thanks to her help. She is very professional with excellent knowledge of real estate and great attention to details. She...

Denise helped us find and purchase our sweet East Oakland home. When the time came, we turned to her to help sell that home, too. Back in 2013, Denise guided us in buying our first Bay Area house. She knows Oakland block by block, which saved us a lot of time and trouble. When we found the house of our dreams, she helped us pull together our offer lightning fast, coaching us on extra things like 'love letters'. We were thrilled to have our offer accepted and we spent 6 happy years in a great house on a great block, thanks to Denise.This past summer, Denise walked us through getting our home ready to sell. We relied on her to find professionals to do...

Denise helped us buy our home back in 2010. We had been watching the market for quite a while, and when we finally decided to jump in, Denise was recommended by a friend. Denise was able to take our wide ranging interests and find houses that were real contenders. If nothing was worth viewing, she told us, and did not waste our time. If a place was a great find, she would move on it quickly - Denise does not waste time, she focuses, clearly defines the pros and cons for a property, and always provides a market perspective. Any questions that we had she acted on quickly and thoroughly. And always with the intent to make it happen if we wanted it. If ...

Since my first review, Denise Milburn has sold my mom 2 homes, sister 2 homes, and me 2 more (yes, we move a lot!).
She helped us win every bidding war --and even avoid some!
She is a great ally in the process and has been in the biz forever, so her connections really come in handy. :)
She is the best of the best at Pacific Union!

Denise Milburn is a seasoned professional with connections that count. (20+ full-time years selling homes in the East Bay!)She used her expertise, attention to detail, long-term view of the market to make it happen for me (twice!), my friend from work, my mom (twice!), and my sister---Denise sold us all our DREAM homes in the Bay Area! (She told me neighborhoods are truly on the up and up and which just seem like it when you take a 3-5 year view.)I seriously thought I could not afford to own in the Bay Area, but then Denise counseled me about my financial options (including hooking me up with a little-known, amazing City of Emeryville loan!) and sho...

We feel very fortunate to have entrusted Denise to sell our condo. We gave her full control as to how to market our property, and we sat back and witnessed her expertise first-hand: from choosing the right starting price to gather attention, to the particular style of staging to attract eyes, to handling offers to achieve the best price for us. From important decisions to inconveniences during the process to minor details, Denise handled everything. We were immediately rewarded, as offers above listing price came in on the very first day of showing. What sets her apart from other realtors is her genuine enthusiasm. We interviewed other realtors, and...

Denise is a wonderful realtor with a depth of knowledge of the area and the main players in her industry.
She led me through the process of buying a home by recommrnding a team to work with for my loan as well as scheduling walk through a on properties. She was upfront about what she saw as the good and bad, as well as potential, for each property we looked at. Denise has great communication either with phone or email, so it was always easy to get ahold of her. Even though I was buying a relatively inexpensive home, she never once made me feel like I was small potatoes.
I will work with her again for my next home and recommend her highly. Thank you,...
