"From our first conversation, I knew Dena was the person we wanted to work! She used great questions to help us consider what we were looking for in our new home and what lifestyle we were looking for. It was like a therapy session and helped us align our priorities. At that time, we were thinking this was a move that "might" take place within the next 12 months - but it didn't matter to Dena. She was there to answer questions, show us properties and put up with our endless questions and indecisions. We were all surprised when we decided to move things up - put our house in SJ on the market, sold it 2 weeks later and we were feeling somewhat desperate to find our perfect new home. I now think she knew, better than we did, which was the perfect house because we ended up buying one of the first ones we looked at! Dena helped negotiate an amazing deal and has been there to support us throughout the move and in integrating into the new community. Love, love, love her and you will too!"

"Dena helped us earlier this year with finding and purchasing our first house. As we got into the process, and my own lack of knowledge and experience started to create a rising anxiety, Dena was there every step of the way with a “I got this” superpower to make it all seem easy. I’m VERY aware it is NOT easy, she just makes it look that way. I cannot stress enough how much having her steady help and friendship made an incredibly daunting task seem like the joy and adventure it should be. Dena is very tech savvy, and her arsenal of apps and electronic signatures made easy work of the paperwork and house hunting. Working with her was a delight, and I could not have been in better hands during my first foray into homeownership."

"We met our realtor Dena Clover Vargas in early February 2017. We hit it off from our first meeting. Dena was very attentive and a very good listener and would always show us houses that fit our needs and wishes. By mid March 2017 we had placed an offer on a house that we were very happy with (and now our home we love), signed papers on March 30th, and moved in by mid April 2017. Dena was very instrumental in all of this happening in this very short period of time because she was very generous with her time, and has partnered with a great team of title company, property inspectors, etc. to make the entire process run as smoothly as possible.  Furthermore, Dena is a Santa Rosa/Sonoma County native. She is very resourceful and connected with many local service providers.  To say we highly recommend Dena is an understatement! With all due respect to all the realtors in Sonoma County, there is no one we would choose over Dena.  "

"I recommend Dena without the slightest hesitation! When we listed our house with Dena, we had just missed the end of a little local ‘bubble’ that had unfortunately burst. We stuck it out for 2 months with Dena’s diligent efforts. Even the frequent ‘open houses’ she held were not producing an acceptable offer and we had almost decided to just rent out the property. Just prior to this decision, Dena called me and informed me that a serious potential buyer was in the wings! Although the deal did close in the less that 30 days later at our asking price, there was a big glitch in the process at the 11th hour and the sale was in serious danger of being cancelled by the buyers, but Dena worked her magic and salvaged the sale!! Kudos Dena and THANKS AGAIN!! Michael & Bonnie Willette"

"Dena was of immense help in getting out house sold. She made excellent recommendations as to improvements for buyer appeal, curb appeal (even going along to pick out the best plants!) and what improvements we needed to have completed. She handled all negotiations and made it a very easy process. Thanks! "

"Dena Clover-Vargas was our agent in the transaction sale of our home in Rincon Valley in the Fall of 2020. She was a tireless professional in every sense of the word. Her communication and handling of all the legal aspects of the transaction were impeccable. She had a very good repour with the buying agent and gave us direct guidance on all the little things that made this a very quick and seamless process! My wife and I would whole-heartedly recommend Dena Clover-Vargas to any interested in selling or buying a property! Thank you Dena!! "

  -Paige Heagerty, Friend

"I highly recommend Dena. I bought a home through her. I am extremely satisfied with her service. Even after I rejected many of the homes that she showed me, some even at my own request and liking, she was happy to show me more. She would return my calls and emails in a very timely manner, even when it was regarding a home which did not meet all of my criteria. During the purchase process Dena was there like a friend helping me out understand the process, communicating with the seller’s agent regarding my concerns and explaining the document contents. I have bought a home before and I have worked with many agents. Dena is the best among all."

"I'm in the home of my dreams, in a city I adore, near everything fun, and among the sweetest neighbors, all because of Dena. From the first moment we met long distance over the phone, to the day her smiling face handed me the keys to my forever home, Dena has given 110% of herself. During the initial house hunt she truly got to know what my specific personal wants and desires in a home were. So much so that, because of the distance, I would've been comfortable having her bid sight unseen. Once we decided on this home, which I would've passed over due to the poor online photos, but which Dena strongly felt was a great fit, we began what I though would be a knuckle biting negotiation process. Dena displayed a quiet but firm confidence, which resulted in my now being in a desirable neighborhood in the historical district, for a low low price. I couldn't be happier and I couldn't recommend Dena more highly. She's an awesome person and everything you hope for in a Realtor ! Thank you Dena !"

"We had a wonderful experience working with Dena, and her talent helped us sell our house in record time. She worked closely with us every step of the way, including making recommendations re: preparing the house for sale, marketing, and providing fantastic staging. She was always responsive to our many texts and calls, and went above and beyond the extra mile to help take care of details at the end when we were short on time. Last, but definitely not least - she is just a lovely person to work with - kind, thoughtful, and with a great sense of humor. We recommend her highly to anyone looking to buy or sell their home."

"Dena helped me identify and successfully bid on the property that is now my new home. She also did a great job of smoothing wrinkles in the closing process. In buying a new property I had specific financial, neighborhood and property goals, and in a sellers market it was challenging to stick to my plan. Dena supported me in my search by being available, providing relevant and timely information and background on the properties I was interested in, supporting me in the bidding process and perhaps most important - she was optimistic and positive every step of the way. Thank you Dena!"

"We had real luck finding Dina. As first time home buyers there were many things we were unaware of. And the bank was not very helpful, almost to the point we were not going to get the house. She helped us with all our questions,she pushed the bank to do there part,and most of all she kept a positive attitude. Always looking for other solutions. She is a professional and we thank her for her help!"

"We are so fortunate to have Dena as our realtor! She helped us buy our first home in 2014 and made the process as easy as possible. Dena surpassed all expectations this past year when she navigated selling our home and buying our new home, closing both on the same day! Dena worked tirelessly for us, as both the buying and selling agent. She went the extra mile in each stage of the process. Including after we had bought our new home, she came back to take a picture of our family with the "sold" sign when the weather and lighting was just right!!! Dena truly goes above and beyond for her clients, and we are forever grateful!"

Thank you, Dena!"

"Dena helped us realize our dream to move to California's wine country! She patiently stayed in contact and encouraged us as we were trying to sell our home in Savannah, GA. She helped us secure a wonderful rental property and went above and beyond helping with our relocation. Dena was attentive to our specific needs in a home and made our wishes her priority. She was always positive and enthusiastic during our search. After identifying our forever home she negotiated effectively and addressed our concerns professionally. Dena truly excelled in managing the details leading up to closing. Her outstanding organizational skills made that phase so much easier. We are thrilled with our new home and would highly recommend Dena Clover-Vargas to anyone seeking a real estate agent."
