Dena recently helped us find a cabin getaway east of Sonora. She was phenomenal to work with. She was savvy in the market, had great insights about neighborhoods, and locations. She knew what details to pay attention to for a 4 season cabin. She helped us understand and negotiate a fair price for a cabin including consideration for necessary upgrades/safety repairs/etc. She also helped coordinate with local handymen/contractors for these repairs. All in all, it was great to work with Dena, we would recommend her to others in a heartbeat and return to her in the future.

Dena Armario-Lyons has a huge amount of spark and energy. She is a hardworking, diligent, focused and intelligent human being. She knows Tuolumne County well, having grown up here. This makes her knowledgeable about towns, neighborhoods, and reliable local contractors. Dena answered every phone call, every text, and every email promptly. She negotiated for the property we chose skillfully and patiently. If a glitch arose she jumped into problem solving. Dena has a great sense of humor and ability to interact skillfully with a wide range of personalities. She made us feel as if we were her only clients even though we knew that we were not. It was a pleasure to work with her. Her expertise got us into a house that suits us perfectly.

Dena Armario-Lyons is absolutely wonderful to work with! We purchased two properties with Dena's help --- and throughout both experiences, Dena was extremely responsive, personable, accommodating and always pointed out important details that we likely would have missed. We definitely were in good hands with Dena and would not hesitate to call on her again or to recommend her to close family and friends.

Dena was not only the best buying agent we could have asked for, but she helped us get into our dream home. Not just because she’s a bad ass at finding homes and communicating with us, but because she encouraged me to not settle and motivated me to keep my eye on the prize. She is kind, hardworking, and a fun person to look at houses with. You can count on Dena for being honest and upfront about what you’re looking at, and to say the right thing when things get tough. Thank you, Dena!

Dena worked hard with us for almost a year finding our dream home. She has such a warm, professional, and knowledgeable personality…it was a pleasure working with her. Dena makes you feel like family. If something wasn’t right or could be a potential issue she always brought it to our attention right away. Dena was so patient and genuine showing us home after home…until we found a home that is perfect for us…our dream home. Dena was also able to reduce the sales price by $100,000!!!! God bless her and her family. Dena and her mother Shari are both upstanding people and realtors. Integrity goes a long way with us, and Dena surpassed all expectations and went over and beyond. I highly recommend her for any real estate needs.

Dena was an absolute Rock Star! We had probably the worst lender on earth, and she pushed through anyway no matter what curveball they threw at us. She was great about keeping us in the loop and helping me keep calm about things (I'm not always good at that part). I would and have suggested her to quite a few people. Thanks for everything.

Dena went above & beyond when showing me cabins. She was very knowledgable and bell versed in each property we looked at. I had a crazy schedule and always found time to meet me & make it work! I am very thankful for her patience in helping our family find the perfect cabin to meet our needs.

Dena did an absolutely AMAZING job on our home search and purchase. The day the house we wanted was listed, she quickly arranged a live guided online tour as we were unable to see the home in person, and then sent us a follow up professional video of the home in great detail for us to review. Dena rapidly replied to all our questions and concerns, and she was quick at solving potential problems with well researched solutions. She was incredibly attentive, proactive, kind and got us the house of our dreams with her quick thinking and rock solid guidance. This was the single best home purchase experience we have ever had! Way to Go Dena!!!

Dena Armario was such a pleasure to work with. She was very knowledgeable, professional, and efficient through the complicated foreclosure process. Dena was looking out for our interest beyond closing Escrow Date.
I love the Book: Hiking on 108 corridors tucked in our Gift basket.
Thanks again much appreciated.

Dena was fabulous to work with. She put our wants and needs on her priority list and worked around our schedule to ensure we were able to see the different properties. She went above and beyond to help find our little cabin in the woods and even help us with local information after getting our property! We recommend her when looking for your future home or second property
