Dena Poling is a wonderful realtor! This is the second time my family has worked with her, once as a buyer and now as a seller. Dena understands the local real estate market and knows what needs to be done to complete a speedy and legal transaction. She follows through on all the details, so you don't have to worry about them! Dena communicates well, keeping you informed of progress and asking for your input when it is needed to make decisions. Sheis not afraid to roll up her sleeves or put on her gardening gloves if something needs to be done to make your property more attractive to potential buyers. I whole-heartedly recommend Dena Poling to anyone I know who is in need of a realtor!

Dena did an AWESOME job selling our vacation home in eastern Washington. We just turned everything over to her and she worked out all the details. No way could we have sold the house without her expertise in dealing with other agents, title companies, buyers, etc. Her quiet but strong and compassionate spirit made this sell much easier than it could have been. We highly recommend her to both sellers and buyers.

I can’t say enough good things about Dena.
After my husband died unexpectedly, I decided to put my house up for sale so I could move out of state to be closer to family. It was a very difficult time and I relied a lot on Dena. She was there for me through lots of tears, guided me through the entire process and made sure I understood everything as we went along. She went above and beyond every step of the way. I couldn’t have done it without her. She is a very special person and remains one of my dearest friends.

This is my second home-purchasing and selling experience with Dena as my real estate agent. Both times, Dena has gone above and beyond to make sure that I got everything that I needed and wanted in my new home. Dena is very thorough when it comes to getting the answers to her clients' questions, getting results when actions need to be taken, and doing everything necessary to make sure that her clients' feelings are considered every step of the way. She is a professional through and through. I would recommend Dena without any hesitation!

Dena Helped my Daughter and Son-in-law purchase their first home this last spring, They had a limited budget and did not want to be far out from town. Dena stayed objective and showed them all the options that were on the market. After a few months they were able to find their starter home. She is very professional and obviously is in the business to help others find their homes, this is not just a job! The clients welfare is first.
Thanks for your Amazing help!

Dena has helped me sell one piece of property but also close the sale on a new home following that. She is expedient, knowledgable and experienced in her profession and consistently exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend her for both the selling and buying of raw land and your existing or new home.

Dena was remarkable, she was always available at the drop of a hat to go look at house when our schedules allowed, she researched the properties to see if we could do what we wanted with it and I felt that I could trust her opinion on things. Looking at homes was a pleasure with her.

Dena has been our listing agent going on a year now. She’s been with us throughout our journey of getting our home ready to sell as well as helping us decide what our next home is going to be. When we sold our home the process could not have gone smoother and I know that was in part to Dena’s role. She is so on top of things and communicates at each step of the way. She is always there even on evenings and weekends when we have wanted to view a home or property. She always tells it to us straight and I so trust her professional opinion. We look forward to finding our perfect home and wouldn’t want to do that with anyone else but Dena!

My wife and I had the opportunity to work with Dena when we moved back home to the Skagit Valley after being away for many years. Dena was AWESOME! She spent months prior to our return looking at homes, updating us on new listings, and answering our multiple questions. When we finally arrived she had a solid plan for homes to look at and spent days driving us around. When we finally selected our "forever" home her insight helped us secure a very favorable price. She even attended our final closing with us. I'm not planning on buying another home but if I did I would choose Dena in a heartbeat!

Dena was expedient in listing the property and keeping me up to date in regards of the activity she was seeing with the MLS listing. She walked the land with me and was attentive to the fact that this being raw, rural land with nearby residents that were sensitive to thier privacy that anyone wishing to view the property be respectful of those individuals needs. Her communication with me was timely and articulate and she was very easy to work with. I would recommend her as an agent to anyone.

Had a limited time line to purchase a home. Dena was always available anytime we had questions and while I was in town to look at homes. She had a plan outlined and it was executed perfectly and in a professional manner. Pressure was high to get a closing in 20 days, with Dena's assistance we did close in 23 day!

This was the second sale of a property that Dena has helped me with. I have nothing but praise for her expertise and for her thoroughness. She knows her business and she has been such a help to me in her easy, uncomplicated way. Best of all, both properties sold! And they sold quite quickly. What more could I want? When Dena and I met, we were real estate agent and client. Now, we are friends.
