    Denise Duran-Marcum

    Faith and Excellence is in everything I do. My primary focus is to help my buyers and sellers build a beautiful home, life and wealth through real estate.  With a combination of unique Broker experience, negotiation and marketing skills as well as my contract and market knowledge, I am my client’s greatest resource and advocate.

    When working with each client, whether buyer or seller, I look into the future to what their ideal outcome would be and work every day to make it happen.  I’m known for my caring and enthusiastic approach which is rounded out by my straightforward honesty and grit. I work to understand fears and concerns and arm my clients with the details and solutions that will help them move forward to their end goal.  My communication is key, positively sharing ideas and solutions is where my solution mindedness shines and transforms into trust.

    It’s not just a process, it’s a promise.  I come alongside my clients to keep them informed and empower them with process and market knowledge so they can make confident and educated decisions. I am patient, tenacious and resourceful.  Through a combination of my incredible resources and mix of step by step strategies, my clients get to experience their home purchase and sale goals transform into a successful outcome of their primary goal!

    At the close of a transaction is not the end but rather the beginning of a great relationship.  I continue to care for my clients and their investment.  I continue to be their resource and friend.

    As the Founder of the Denver Suburban Living Team. My dream is to provide top notch service throughout the Denver Metro Area by curating a team of professional Agents who are Area Specialists. I recognized that every City, Suburb and Niche Community has many special attributes that MUST be communicated to Buyers purchasing in the community and as well as for Sellers that need to have the amenities and culture of their community intelligently communicated/promoted. The goal is to work together as a team to make sure our clients are taken care of and that no detail was missed.

    We not only come together as a team with infinite area knowledge, we have incredible resources and complimentary services including design, handymen, staging, cleaning and professional photography.

    I along with the Denver Suburban Living Team look forward to serving you!

    I Am In Real Estate Because
    I love making a positive difference in my clients’ lives. Finding the perfect house or selling their home and negotiating in their best interests, while managing all of the details so they have a great experience, is an exciting and fulfilling challenge. At the end of the transaction I’ve successfully gained a new relationship built on trust and positive results.

    Why I Am Different
    I want to provide my clients the very best service and there is no other company that allows me to do what I do other than Compass. They’re not just about a sleek image, they back it up with professional staff, top-of-the-line technology, resources and support. This kind of support also allows me to have a more balanced life which in turn makes me a better agent to my clients.

    The Place I Call Home
    West Arvada is where I call home, close to those beautiful foothills. Out here we have a mix of established and newer homes. I love driving through our community and seeing a small pocket of custom homes and then down the street, there is a 10-acre ranch with happy grazing horses. My family has chosen to stay out west, a small town feeling but only 25 minutes to Downtown Denver and Boulder. Recently we purchased an home in West Woods Ranch, a beautifully established community and we had the pleasure of renovating it throughout.  We are so happy to have a golf course, trails and foothills at our finger tips.

    My Top 5 Neighborhood Spots Are

    • El Noa Noa – located in Denver’s Sante Fe Art District. An authentic Mexican restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere!

    • Arvada Tavern – another fab treasure where you can have an amazing dinner and incredibly crafted cocktails.

    • Red Silo Coffee Roasters & Creamery – great coffee, pastries, phenomenal craft ice creams and super comfy vibe.

    • Ralston Valley Trail – Miles of beautiful trails with views of mountains, lakes, courses, stunning commnities…just a perfect way to spend a day or even just 1 hour!

    • Applejack Wine and Spirits – A Wheat Ridge treasure, awesome wine, beer & liquor selection, you need lots of wine in real estate!

    When I Am Not Working You Will Find Me
    With my family! I have a wonderful husband of 26 years – Scott, and three incredible kids – Max, Mason, and Maguire. They keep me super busy and wouldn’t have it any other way. I love going to their events, spending one-on-one time with them and being around them and their silly friends. I am literally obsessed with my incredible family.

    My Favorite Thing About Living In Metro Denver, Co Is
    Everything beautiful is close. It’s always an easy drive to a cute small town or the city. It takes me only an hour to get to a great ski town. The foothills and mountains – they are beautiful and the best entertainment. We have it all!

And if you really want to lean into the Valentine’s Day / rom-com fantasy this month: • Grab a book from The Book Stop in Wheat Ridge • Order your usual at Red Silo Roasters or Humble House in Downtown Golden • Sit on a bench in Quaker Acres Park in Arvada • Pretend you’re waiting for a meet-cute or dramatically people-watching in the Tennyson District • Bonus points if you’re wearing a coat that feels slightly cinematic Swipe through to see which suburban neighborhood gives off the rom-com energy you’d actually live in. ❤️ #RomComEnergy #WestSideVibes #DenverNeighborhoods #CozyColorado #HomeIsTheLoveStory Instagram post Some homes in Platinum Triangle just feel like a milestone…the kind of place that makes life feel settled, intentional, and a little elevated.
