Testimonials

Denise,

I would like to take this opportunity to express my family's appreciation for the outstanding support and guidance you provided us during the sale of our Mother's home. It was a very trying time for our family and selling the house we all knew as "home" for 45 years was not an easy task. Your ability to guide us through the process of understanding and setting the asking price, and continually updating us as we completed the mountain of paperwork at closing is truly to be commended. Your depth of knowledge and attention to detail was obvious each step along our path. Please feel free to use us as a reference in the future. Happy selling...

Thank you for being our realtor and partner,

We worked with a few agents in our search for our first home, but when we met Denise, we knew she was the agent for us. Denise listened to our wants and desires and sent us several listings daily that fit our requirements. After only a few months of searching, we found the perfect home. Denise was very patient with us and very helpful and knowledgeable when we had questions, as this was our first time buying a home. Thank you Denise for all your hard work!

Clients say:

We recently worked with Denise Havelin in selling our condo in Torrance. Denise was a caring professional throughout the process which included choosing the correct seeling price, marketing the property and complete follow-up during escrow. We were able to sell the property at a fair price within 30 days in the middle of a major recession and declining real estate market. Hire Densie- she delivers!

Surneet and I would like to take this opportunity to express our thanks for all the hard work you did to help us buy our first home. We had unique critera that made our search a little more difficult and time consuming than the usual house search.

We also appreciate the $1,000 bonus you gave us at the close of escrow to help us furnish our new home.

Thanks again, Denise, and we will recommend you to our friends, family and co-workers with confidence that you will "get the job done".

----------Best Regards,

Jeff and I would like to thank you again for all of your time and help with purchasing our new home. You were honest and responsive and we enjoyed working with you. We were lucky to have had the pleasure to work with someone who exhinits the kind of integrity and ethics you do. And of course we really appreciate the $1,000 gas allowance you gave us at close. We will definitely refer you to our friends.

-----------Stacy & Jeff

Thank you for guiding us through the purchase of our first home. As soon as we met you, with a complete listing of homes for sale, in escrow, and sold, we both knew we wanted you to be our agent. No other agent was as prepared as you.

Your ability to gently discourage us when we were bidding too low, and your encouragement to go for an aggresive offter when we found the perfect home are greatly appreciated. There wasn't a moment along the entire journet, that we didn't believe you had everything under control. We are actively recommending you to our friends and hope to use you again in the furture. Thanks for all your energy, enthusiasm and advice.

Sincerely,

Matt Sheriff and Summer Liu

Dearest Denise,

First, we wanted to start off by saying how grateful we are that we met you and how thankful we are for all your patience, kindness and support. From the very first time we met, we felt so comfortable with you and knew that you were the right agent for us. As first time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions and concerns and you made the whole process effortless. Your resourcefulness and diligence proved to be invaluable in the closing of our home. Thank you once again, and we look forward to continuing work together as we look towards the future.

Sincerely,

-Caroline and Will

The Gottliebs would like to extend their gratitude for another smooth transaction at the hands of Denise Havelin. Once again, Denise made sure that both the purchase of our beautiful new home and the sale of our old home were as stress free as possible. Denise was responsive, honest and always maintained a balanced approach throughout the process. She considers what is in the best interest of her client at all times. We also worked with Denise when we bought our first home in 2005 and we would recommend her to anyone in the South Bay trying to buy or sell a home.

Sincerely,

-Jeff and Stacy Gottlieb
