WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Yes, Chris is extremely talented and knowledgeable about real estate but what sets him apart is his character. My first call with Chris was almost unbelievable. He heard my stress and anxiety and immediately took the time to calm and assure me that he would successfully help us accomplish our goal. We now live in our dream house – the process was not easy but I felt confident and supported the entire tim...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

If I could have given more stars I would. Chris sold our Mill Valley home for us and did such an awesome job, far above my original high expectations. He was completely transparent and helpful, he advised us on the right price to sell at (and judged it just right), he produced some amazing marketing materials and got the home sold. He goes above and beyond, for example, his wife Lisa is a very talented d...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I have sold five houses and used a different broker each time. No one holds a candle to Chris DeNike. He is reliable, hardworking, extremely professional and gets the job done. When a stressful situation arises (as it inevitably does when selling a house), he is a calming influence on all parties. And, most importantly, Chris is the only agent I trust.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We just sold our home in Kent Woodlands and I want to highly recommend our real estate agent Chris DeNike. He was professional and friendly through the whole process, helping us navigate all issues as they came up. Chris priced it correctly and perfectly for the market, had it staged well, with great photos, a home website, an awesome brochure and a drone video, he also went above and beyond what a typic...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I can’t imagine working with another agent. My wife and I just bought our first home in Larkspur and Chris was superb throughout the process. From the beginning, he tried to really understand what was most important to us. Rather than push us on why we should buy/like a property, he pressed us to ask ourselves how closely it aligned with what we believed most important in purchasing our home. In one case...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

The difference between a good Realtor® and a bad one is not as significant as the difference between a good one and GREAT one. A bad Realtor® is easy to surface quickly, avoid and then move on. A good (but not great) Realtor® is more painful and damaging. You miss critical alerts, can’t get the edge on a trending market, have poor representation of your offer or listing and end up missing deals or once i...

— Dave & Tracy | Larkspur Buyers

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We had not bought or sold a home for more than 18 years and the prospect seemed incredibly daunting given all the preparatory work for selling, the unpredictable fluctuations in the housing market, and the uncertainty associated with finding just the right Realtor®. A neighbor worked with Chris DeNike and strongly recommended him to us. From the first meeting through the sale of our home Chris’s presence...

— Doug & Nancy | Corte Madera Sellers

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I found Chris through his Yelp reviews. I had met with other agents through more traditional channels (friends’ recommendations), and hadn’t liked any of them. They all seemed unfocused, rushed, and more concerned with a quick sale than their clients’ interests. Chris’ reviews said the opposite, so I gave him a call, figuring I would meet with him and see. My expectations were low, but when I met Chris, ...

— Nathalie & Ricardo | Mill Valley Buyers & Sellers

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I enthusiastically recommend Chris. We worked with Chris to purchase and recently sell our home. He is exceptionally professional, courteous, responsive, knowledgeable, and organized. Most importantly, Chris listens to clients and develops a plan to help them achieve their goals. Five years ago, he helped us find our home within weeks by quickly understanding our top priorities and steering us towards a ...

— Crystal & James | Greenbrae Buyers & Sellers

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

After stumbling across a listing Chris had I called him and was surprised he took my call after 6pm on a Saturday night. Expecting to hear a voice message I spoke to Chris about what we were looking for in our dream house. Patiently, Chris asked a few questions to get a better idea and then followed up (as promised) with some listings later that night. The best thing about Chris is that he actually list...

— Cam & Nicole | Mill Valley Buyers & Sellers

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

You’re going to end up spending a lot of time and sharing a lot of personal details with your Realtor® – probably more than you think. You need someone who’s not only great at his job, but also trustworthy and fun to hang out with. Chris DeNike is all of the above. He blew away every expectation we had about working with a Realtor®, and became a friend along the way. A few things set Chris apart: 1) He...

— Matt & Hollis | Mill Valley Buyers & Sellers

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We interviewed several agents and Chris was everything we needed in an agent. He has a wonderful calmness and sincere authority demeanor that made us feel exactly how we predicted. He helped us through the final major big move in our lives. He was amazingly organized and helped us stay organized and focused. During times of the normal stress one goes through in selling their lifetime home, he helped us w...
