    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!

    Instagram post POV: You’re a busy professional who values expertise over salesmanship and wants a real estate advisor who makes complex transactions feel effortless. That’s exactly why I do what I do. Real estate isn’t just about contracts and closing dates. It’s about anticipating problems before they happen, protecting your time, negotiating strategically, and making one of life’s biggest decisions feel a whole lot less overwhelming. If that’s the kind of experience you’re looking for, I’d love to help. 📩 Send me a message and let’s talk about your next move. #DenverSuburbanLiving #ColoradoRealtor #LuxuryRealEstate #BusyProfessionals #compassagent Instagram post Every home has a story, and this one certainly kept me on my toes. Helping my clients successfully sell 1745 Tiverton Ave. meant navigating constant decisions, changing circumstances, problem solving, strategic negotiations, and making sure every detail stayed on track from start to finish. Real estate isn’t always about the smooth transactions. It’s about staying calm when things get complicated, communicating every step of the way, and finding solutions that keep everyone moving toward the finish line. Congratulations to my sellers on a successful closing. Thank you for trusting me to guide you through every twist and turn. On to your exciting next chapter! #ColoradoRealEstate #BroomfieldHomes #CompassColorado #DenverSuburbanLiving #justsold Instagram post A lot more than stand around and wait. 😉 My clients recently went under contract on this gorgeous Westminster home. Because they are both physicians, one currently in the Bay Area and the other in Grand Junction, they couldn’t attend the inspection in person. So, I became their eyes, ears, note taker and information filter for the day. I’m not there to replace the inspectors or offer expertise outside of my role. I’m there to help my clients gather information, ask questions, document answers and stay connected to the process from hundreds of miles away. During the inspection, I: • Contacted contractors who recently worked on the home • Asked and documented my buyers’ specific questions • Met with roofing, painting and exterior professionals • Coordinated additional testing with the mold inspector • Sent real time updates and detailed summaries to my clients In between, I was also coordinating closings, upcoming walkthroughs, referrals and new systems with my assistant. Beautiful homes are fun to share, but the real work is helping clients feel informed, represented and cared for, especially when they can’t physically be there. That is what full service representation looks like to me. Buying from out of town or looking for an agent who will stay closely involved? Send me a message. #ColoradoRealEstate #DenverRealtor #RealEstateAdvocate #LuxuryRealEstate #BuyerRepresentation Instagram post We thought this one was over before it even started. My buyers toured this beautiful home in The Canyon the day it hit the market. We were told another offer was already in hand and had just a couple of hours to submit our best. So we hustled. My buyers made quick, thoughtful decisions. Our lender dropped everything to finish the pre-approval that evening. We wrote a strong offer over asking with aggressive terms…and then waited. Nothing. The next morning we were told the sellers had decided to move forward with the other buyer. Disappointing? Absolutely. But instead of dwelling on it, we moved on. Three days later, my phone rang. The first contract had fallen apart, and suddenly we were back at the table. This time we negotiated from a position of strength. Not only did my buyers get the home they loved, but they secured additional concessions that made the deal even better than our original offer. Fast forward to closing day… ✔️ Beautiful home ✔️ Happy sellers ✔️ Happy buyers ✔️ A smooth closing Sometimes the first “no” isn’t the end of the story. It’s simply a better opportunity waiting around the corner. Congratulations to my wonderful buyers on your gorgeous new Colorado lock-and-leave home in Canyon Pines! 📍Canyon Pines 💰 Sold for $825,000 Patience. Preparation. Strategy. They matter. #ColoradoRealEstate #DenverSuburbs #JustSold #HomeBuyingJourney #negotiationmatters
