Hello and welcome to my website.

 

Coming from a horticulture and landscape design background you can guess how important home and garden is to me.  So, I have worked the past 20 years building my entire business around helping people with the best strategies for selling their home and the best negotiating skills when buying a home.

 

How you as a SELLER will benefit when you work with me:

● I will work to get you the highest price for your property in the shortest amount of time with the least amount of inconvenience.

● We will stage your home so it will have maximum appeal. I have an eye for aesthetic design that will help us do just that.

● My top priority will be creating a personalized and extremely effective marketing plan just for you and your home.

● We will use professional, enhanced “High Definition” photographs to showcase your home to the fullest.

● One of my strongest skills is negotiating on your behalf.

● I do not practice “Dual Agency”. That means I will never represent a buyer negotiating against you.

● I will guide and counsel you with the utmost care and understanding. I will be with you every step of the way…from start to the closing table.

 

How you as a BUYER will benefit when you work with me:

● You and I will discuss just exactly what kind of home you want, when you want it and in detail, how we are going to get you there.

● You will receive a customized home search of your target market as well as daily updates of any new listings that come on the market meeting your criteria.

● I will help you find the best financing for your purchase.

● I will guide you through inspection issues as these can be very tricky.

● I do not practice “Dual Agency”. That means I will never represent a seller negotiating against you.

● One of my strongest skills is negotiating on our behalf.

Marilyn Kirishian

I first met Denise 22 years ago. She sold my mother’s house & then found me a townhouse. When I decided to sell & find a ranch I contacted Denise, hoping she was still a realtor. She has found me the home I was hoping for & has now sold my place. She is absolutely the best. She went the extra mile for me. She is honest, caring, available at any time. It is so obvious that she wants to ...

Working with Denise has been a revelation - we did not know what a great ally a real estate broker could be. She is resourceful, pro-active, always available, always on our side. Her guidance has been invaluable. Her company is a great pleasure. Thank you, Denise!

Lauretta Darge

Denise is the most awesome realtor! Her initial estimate on the value/sale of my mother's house was spot on. Although we needed to list it lower than the projected value she was able to negotiate with interested buyers to where the sale price settled at $60K higher than our asking price which was right at her initial estimate!! She went over and above what any other realtor would do to h...

Josephine Koinange

Denise is the BEST!!! She does good research on market. Provides solid advice and is thorough on making sure getting great tenants.

Dennis and Margaret Leetzow

We go all the way back to Denise Nelson selling our first, hard-to-sell house, some 25 years ago. When we needed to buy a new house, there was no one else we wanted to work with. She has a way of making us feel like long-time friends! She didn't hesitate to go on any and every showing with us, and she gave us very good advice every step of the way. All those years ago, she did say th...

Dennis Leetzow

We have worked with Denise in the past and returned to her because of the exemplary service we received from her from the start. She is truly an old friend, and we will work with her in any real estate endeavors in the future.

Bruce and Janet Minale

In the last 5 months we have worked with Denise to purchase a home and sell home. Although this is a tough market to sell a lake house Denise was able to keep us positive and excited about getting the house sold. Just as she advised the sale happened. Denise worked diligently with the buyer of our home to make sure all things went smoothly. It was the same with the home we purchased. Sh...

Our agent, Denise Nelson, was terrific in all aspects of our home purchase.

Lisa Walston

We have known Denise for almost 17 years now. My husband was in Chicago for a few days and needed to buy a house without me being there. Denise was excellent in finding the perfect house for us - and we bought it! Since then, we have moved to China twice, but were unwilling to sell our wonderful home. Both times, we entrusted Denise with our house and property management. She is pro...

Amy O'Connor

Denise helped us make the move from north side renters in Chicago to home owners in Cary. We had so much fun house hunting with her that we were sad to see it end. She helped us leave Wrigleyville without buyers' remorse! That was four years ago, and we still keep in touch and look forward to working with Denise again one day.
