About Us

As a lifelong resident of Sonoma County, I’ve witnessed the region’s growth and transformation across its urban and rural landscapes. My journey into real estate began in 2002, inspired by conversations with appraisers. In 2005, I obtained my appraiser trainee license, and after a couple of years of hands-on experience as an appraiser assistant, I became a Certified Residential Real Estate Appraiser. In 2012, I launched my own business, Solid Foundation Appraisals, conducting 160 to 250 appraisals annually across Sonoma and Marin counties. This work has given me an in-depth understanding of the local market and neighborhoods.

Although my appraisal business thrived, I realized I missed connecting directly with people. Encouraged by a friend, I pursued my real estate sales license to merge my market expertise with a more personal approach. Today, as a Realtor with Navigate RE, I’m passionate about helping clients find their perfect homes, whether they’re first-time buyers, downsizing, relocating, or investing. My approach is rooted in building strong relationships to understand each client’s unique goals. With the support of the dedicated team at Navigate RE, I am committed to delivering exceptional service.

Outside of work, I cherish time with family and friends and find balance in the great outdoors. Whether hiking, running, biking, or camping, these activities keep me grounded and inspired.

Read more "When working with Denise as a real estate appraiser, she was always quick to answer questions and offer help whenever it was needed. That same level of responsiveness and professionalism carried over when working with her as a fellow real estate agent. Denise is quick to respond, supportive, easy to work with, and always happy to help. She brings years of experience and generously shares her knowledge throughout the process. Her photo truly reflects who she is—genuine, kind, and someone who truly cares about her clients. I highly recommend Denise to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated real estate professional."

I am a real estate appraiser and I know that the high interest rates are impacting this industry . . . Sales are down, prices are going down, listings are down, and refinances are all down. Rates are 3% higher than this time last year. That is a hugh increase. (more) I am a real estate appraiser and I know that the high interest rates are impacting this industry . . .
