Buyer Testimonials

Moving to a new state and being a first time home buyer, the idea of purchasing a home was very intimidating. I was so lucky to have found Dena! She was absolutely amazing through the entire process. She was patient as we changed the cities we wanted to look at homes in and was very knowledgeable about the areas. She really took the time to understand what we wanted and needed in a home and helped us narrow down the houses we should see. Once we settled on an area we loved she drove HOURS through the city to meet us there! After finding a home we wanted she jumped on writing up our offer and kept us informed every step of the way. She took the time to walk us through everything from the offer letter, inspection, appraisal and finally the contract. In the end, because of her help, the entire process was surprisingly easy for us. If you’re looking for a realtor, I HIGHLY recommend Dena!

Jacqueline Juliano - Buyer

I recently bought a townhouse, with the help of Dena and it was a process that I will never be through, and of course, I did it with my parents. Dena was able to show us places in locations that we were interested in from Chandler to Tempe and even Gilbert. We were thinking of doing a mini house or a townhouse and found one in Chandler, put up an offer, it didn't go through and with Dena's help, we were able to move on quicker. Her responsiveness was great! Always available through text and made sure that she was flexible with our hours and was able to make the process easier. For the second townhouse, that we actually ended up buying, we offered the full price because we loved it so much (and there was a couple going in to see the place right after we had left), so the negotiation would have been with the repairs, plumbing, etc. But she made the process very easy, and I am very happy and fortunate (and appreciative) that my parents found her and she was able to help us out with everything! I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for their new/first/next home. 

Taylor Holmes - Buyer

Dena was great to work with, establish trust with her from the first meeting. She is a straight shooter with advice, felt confident through the entire process, even working with an out of town lender. Highly recommend. 

Finding her was a God send. My husband and I were helping out daughter buy her first home. The three of us needed her. She was available. She was a teacher. She wanted to find a home for our daughter that met her criteria versus just to sell a home. Each step of the process was explained so we were prepared. And, she scheduled property assessments and financial meetings at our convenience. She provided me confidence re: what issues were important enough to attend to prior to purchasing the home. I tend to minimize. An example being the results from the property assessment. I needed that guidance. And, she took care of the decision to request repairs be made prior to purchasing. And, just today we followed through on a recommendation she provided us for places and services to use in refurbishing the kitchen. Amazing. Everything she claimed about this place and their service was correct. I will recommend her at a drop of hat. And, she will be the first person we go to for any more in the future.     

The Holmes Family - Buyers

Dena helped our family get the home we were looking for. Worked extremely hard for us, excellent follow up and there when we needed.  A great choice for a Realtor in the East Valley.

Bryan & Katie Wilson - Buyers

Dena has assisted my wife and I through three real estate transactions over the past few years. Her expertise in real estate and her association with various trade contractors enabled her to guide us through necessary inspections and repairs. Dena kept us informed during all phases of our transactions and followed up to make certain my wife and I were up to date on everything  – all making the buying and selling of properties almost effortless for us. I know if a future real estate need arises, we’ll call on Dena without hesitation.

Rick & Vicki Frechette - Buyer/Seller

Dena was extremely knowledgeable and made herself available throughout the entire process. As a first time home buyer, she was the perfect person to walk me through every step. I would highly recommend Dena to anyone looking for a real estate agent. 

 Jordan Rewerts - Buyer

Dena is AMAZING! She is very diligent in helping me find the perfect house to call home. Dena knows the valley very well and helped me find the perfect neighborhood for me. She is incredibly knowledgeable of every aspect of real-estate. I found myself in a bidding war for my dream home and Dena made sure I won the bid and paid a fair price for the house. Dena goes out of her way to make her clients feel special with all of the great 'little toucher' that means the world to me. Including free pizza on move-in day and thoughtful house warming gifts. When I am ready to move again, Dena will be my first call.

Becky Spohn - Buyer 

Dena has been our agent for two home sales & two home purchases. She has always made herself available either for a phone call or a last-minute showing.  She has communicated well throughout the whole process and kept us in the loop on all progress and updates. On our most recent purchase, we noticed the floors had been damaged while the sellers had moved out; Dena was quick to set up the marble floor repaid and make arrangements for the sellers to cover the cost. I highly recommend Dena. 

Matt & Maggie Weber - Buyer

I used Dena Greenawalt to purchase my home in Queen Creek. The process ended up being much longer and tedious than anticipated, but Dena hung in there with me the whole way. She has extensive knowledge of the purchase process and the real estate market as a whole. She had thorough and complete answers for any question or issue that arose. I highly recommend Dena and will continue to do so. 

Matt Thomas - Buyer

 

Dena went above and beyond with helping us find our home and explaining the whole process down to even directing is to a loan company. I seriously wouldn't have been able to find the home I did today if it wasn't for Dena. 

Isai Pineda-Cadena and Samanta Pineda - Buyer

We started looking hard for houses with Dena in June. We found the house we loved which was a new build. Dena was in our corner from the get go! We ran into some trouble with our house we were selling and Dena was able to extend our closing on the the new one and then lawyers got involved because of an easement. After Dena jump throw 20 hoops for us, she was a big part of getting it cleared up. Thanks again Dena! 

Robert and Linda Schlenker - Buyer 

As first time home buyers, my husband and I were new to the entire process. Luckily, Dena put us at ease from the moment we met with her. Not only did she answer all of our questions, she guided us through every step of the process. She always went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well informed. Day and night she was emailing back and forth with us. Even when we had to leave out of the country, Dena made sure we were on track with everything. From the first day we looked at houses to the moment she gave us our keys, Dena was there through it all. She is a hands-on, detail-oriented, full force, caring women and we were relieved to have her as part of our team. We can't praise her enough and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for their dream home. She found ours and we couldn't be happier.

Enrique and Lucette Ramirez - Buyers

This is the second opportunity I've had to work with Dena Greenawalt. The first was when my youngest daughter was going to purchase her first home in the Tempe, AZ area. She was going to school at ASU and at the time homes could be purchased less expensively than dorm costs. I was on business travel outside the country and Dena worked with my daughter throughout the entire process. Now that she has graduated she has the potential of rental income via a home close to campus in which Dena helped us procure. Fast forward four years and my oldest daughter and her fiancée were looking to have a home prior to their wedding, I immediately reached out to Dena due to her exceptional drive and comprehensive effort in the past. She spent time showing homes in their price range, explained pros and cons throughout the search and helped them understand pitfalls of first-time-home-buying. Dena ensured their experience was top-notch by mitigating and resolving all issues along the way as there were difficulties with the seller, financing and home inspections. She helped my daughter and her fiancée through their first home purchase flawlessly. Now they have a nice single-family home in which they can reside for many years.

Greg Brennan – Father of two Buyer Clients

Dena was terrific! As a first time home buyer I didn't know what to expect but she made the process easy and assuring. She explained things and made us feel okay about everything. She was always available when we had a question and kept us in the loop as every step happened. I would recommend her to any home buyer and we would use her again if we ever needed to. Overall she was amazing and we can't thank her enough!

Brittany Brennan – First Time Home Buyer

Dena is a fabulous realtor. She went above and beyond when my husband and I were in a jam trying to sell our house while our new one was being built. Even being 8 months pregnant at the time she kept me calm and got us through that tough spot. She is the best! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with selling/ buying another home.

Maggie & Dusty Schlenker - Buyer

Dena is great. She really knows the market, trends and all the local areas. She really walks you through the process and she makes sure you are very comfortable with what's happening. We've used Dena for both our purchase and selling of our homes and we highly recommend her.  

BJ & Shauna Ariola – Buyer – repeat clients

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dena Greenawalt. The home buying process can be cumbersome, however, Dena has the skills and business acumen to make home buying routine. She not only sold our existing home in 2 days for over asking price, but was also successful in negotiating a below market price on the home we purchased.  She has a can do attitude and leaves no real estate stone unturned. We have worked with Dena on 4 transactions and were completely satisfied with her performance. We are customers for life.   

Greg & Kelly Gersbach – repeat Buyers 

Hi Dena, I wanted to thank you for all your assistance in the purchase of our new home at The Bridges in Gilbert, AZ. Your diligence and knowledge was a huge help in navigating the complexities involved in this purchase, especially when we are out of state. We will be sure to give your name to any of our friends and family who may be in the market to purchase a home in AZ.

Maybo and Jay Pham – Buyers

"Dena is EXCELLENT!! She has been a joy to work with. She treated us with the fullest respect and answered all the questions we had promptly and professionally. Not only was Dena professional and knowledgeable but also very personable and attentive to all our needs. She took care of details we could not attend to from Seattle. She even went out of her way to help on inspection requirements and set up a key box for our contractors until we could get there. She never made us feel like we weren’t important. THANK YOU SO MUCH DENA!!"

Vicky & Joe Gleb – Buyers  

My husband and I have known Dena for years. We originally wanted to sell our home a few years ago and Dena worked hard for us even when the market wasn’t much of a sellers’ market. 

We changed our mind and decided to stay put but when the time came to relocate Dena was our first call. She not only helped us to sell our home but to find a new house that met our needs as well. Our purchase had unique caveats but Dena was a knowledgeable professional that helped us navigate through the situations and was a great advocate for us and our needs. 

She made both the sale and purchase as seamless as possible and was available day and night; it was obvious our best interest was always in the forefront. I would highly recommend Dena to anyone looking to sell or purchase a new home.

The Clark Family – Buyers 

As a first-time homebuyer, I was expecting to feel lost through this whole process, but Dena was a great guide. She showed me countless homes and gave me honest, true advice on every question I asked or any instance I felt unsure. She went above and beyond on so many different occasions and was such a wonderful asset to me. I couldn't have imagined this process with anyone else. Dena was always able to schedule things around my hectic schedule and always got back to me right away. It was truly a wonderful experience working with her and would recommend her numerous times over.

Chelsea Lebsack – First Time Home Buyer 

I first met Dena Greenawalt in 2010 when I joined the same real estate company that she worked for in Chandler Arizona.  I soon discovered that she was one of the top agents in this real estate company for many reasons.  First of all her professionalism is above and beyond most agents that I have known throughout my 34 years as a Realtor.  She not only is very knowledgeable about all areas of the real estate profession but also has a great personality to deal with the often stressful situations that buying and selling homes presents.  My husband, Gregg, and I chose Dena to represent us in the sale of our personal home in Arizona and she also represented our daughter and son-in-law in the sale of their property.  Both homes were under contract within the first week of the listing.  Her communication skills with us, the lenders, and the other agents were "Top Notch"!  I am licensed in both Oregon and Arizona and have been a Realtor in several other states as well.  I will always recommend Dena as a preferred Real Estate professional.

Seller Testimonials

Dena was our selling agent for an out of state move from Gilbert. Her understanding of the market was very helpful with regards to how our home was advertised, priced and represented. She was also very consistently easy to reach which could have been a challenge as our selling timeframe bridged a  couple of major holidays.  Thanks again Dena.

Keith & Carmen Harbison - Sellers

Dena guided me expertly every step of the way on my condo sale.  She always responds in a very prompt manner to texts and phone calls.  Dena has great negotiation skills with other agents and understands how to price a property so that it will sell quickly and get the best value for the seller.  I  went back to Dena to sell my property after I had a good experience with her buying the property.  I had a positive experience with the sale of my condo and would recommend and use Dena's services again.

Jean Bettis - Seller

Dena was very knowledgable and on top of everything. The few problems that we ran into I was ready to make the phone calls to the vendors to get things fixed but she took over and got it all taken care of.

Donnie & Sally Miller- Sellers

I was dreading selling. Dena came to our home and was prepared with comps and sound advice on where to list. She helped us make a timeline so we knew what to expect. We couldn't believe how quickly our house sold! Dena helped every step of the way and made it smooth and simple! 

Maggie Webber - Seller

Dena Greenawalt was very professional in marketing our larger home and acreage stressing the advantage of having a large property to those interested in that market. We were successful in selling the property in a 6 month time line that she had indicated it could take with a larger property. Not only did she market and sell our home but was a resource for a variety of services that we utilized to get the home ready for sale. She was also helpful after sale in attaining an interim home.

Hello, my name is Ric Walker and I just want to take a moment and say if you are in the market to sell, or buy, a home and need a realtor, I would personally, and highly, recommend Dena Greenawalt with RE/MAX Infinity. I first thought about selling my home in 2013 and interviewed three different realtors that I found from the website “Zillow”. Out of the three realtors all of them had 5 star ratings from posted reviews. Dena, to me, clearly stood out as the most polished, prepared and professional of the three. She had run comps and prepared printed material regarding my home with comparisons. She presented this information in two separate binders that was well organized and easy to interrupt. 

As it turned out I decided to hold off listing my home until July of this year (2015), but since I was so impressed with her professionalism, she was the only realtor I contacted in June. Dena made a point to come back to my home and do a walk through with suggestions of things I do, before listing. Once I was ready to list, she returned and presented comps and comparisons taking into account some unique features I had invested in my home. Once we both felt comfortable with the listing price, Dena went to work listing my home with multiple sources. My home was listed on a Saturday and six different parties viewed my home over Saturday, Sunday and Monday. By the close of Monday I had four offers and my home sold for over the asking price. Again, if you are looking for a highly skilled, polished realtor who is a very good listener with a very high degree of integrity than contact Dena, I think you will find her to be all of the things I’ve said and more.

Got my thank you gift today in the mail. I will always recommend you to anyone looking to sell their home. You are very good at what you do & very thorough. It was an extreme pleasure doing business with you & having you on my side.

Claudia B – Seller

Dena was amazing with the sale of our home. She was determined to sell quickly and with our needs always kept in mind. She was on top of everything. I never had to follow up with her or wait for answers, she was always already a step ahead. Her professionalism mixed with her caring personal approach truly makes for the perfect match to work with. I found a realtor for myself, family and friends, as long as she is in business. Dena's class, attitude, organization, and work ethic cannot be compared.

Jennifer Corbett, Seller

Dena's expertise proved invaluable throughout the selling of our home.  It started with the pre-listing preparations of our home, and her knowledge of the local real estate market helped us set a listing price commensurate with the current market.  As the market dynamics changed, Dena kept us updated, adjusted her marketing strategies and worked with us to refresh and adjust the listing.  Once a contract was reached, Dena continued to be active in the closing process and insured all aspects came to close in a timely and uneventful manner.  We would highly recommend Dena as your real estate agent.

Dena, Wanted to thank you for the great job and quick sale.  Selling a home is inherently a stressful time, but your professionalism throughout the entire process was exceptionally reassuring. Your years of experience, commitment to staying current in the industry, your reputation, contacts and support team at RE/MAX Infinity makes you a top agent.  I knew I was in the right hands when buyer’s agents commented on their positive interactions with you.  I so appreciated your honest, direct, problem-solving work ethic.  At our first meeting I communicated my expectation of the sale and by following your guidance and support, you not only delivered on that expectation, but exceeded it.  I will continue to show my appreciation by recommending you to friends and colleagues who are in need of an agent.  It will be a win, win. We’ll talk soon.  

Take care. Terry K. - Sellers

To whom it may concern, My wife and I recently sold our home in Phoenix and we unfortunately were in the position of short selling our home. I anticipated the process being a long and difficult one. I was fortunately wrong on both accounts.  Our success story can only be linked to one person whose professionalism and attention to detail made this as painless as possible for us.  Dena was introduced to us by my wife's mother who knew of her in the industry as the person to go to when needing to sell a home fast! Dena met my wife and I and she explained the process to us because like most people we were clueless. I left the meeting thinking with much more confidence that our home would sell in a timely fashion than my previous expectations. Dena kept us informed constantly on how things were going. The decision to use Dena as our Realtor was vital in getting our lives back on track and moving forward with our lives. The fact that we knew that our home was in such capable hands let us turn our attention to other things we needed to resolve. I give anyone who will read this letter my pledge that when deciding to choose a realtor please consider Dena! You will be happy you did. 

David and Cori Hewitson - Sellers

Our experience with Dena has been excellence.  She got the job done and kept everything together.  While our home was on the market she consistently follow up with all referrals and kept us posted through-out this process. She is also very diplomatic, which is a big asset during a difficult transaction.  We would highly recommend Dena to all our friends and family.  Thank you Dena.       

Jeanne Foster – Seller

Dena is an outstanding realtor who takes the hassle away from the process of selling a home.  She knows her clients and works hard to meet their expectations.
