Brown Harris Stevens

As a longtime resident of Forest Hills, I have seen many changes take place, but I have never seriously thought about moving away as it remains such a wonderful community in so many ways. I have an interest in the history of the area and love to share some of that knowledge with customers, particularly those who are new to Queens and this neighborhood.

My professional expertise is in marketing and advertising, which I draw on to create marketing strategies that will help my clients sell their homes. I have assisted with the agency’s promotion for the last several years and in the process decided to study and obtain my real estate license so that I could directly help customers buy, sell, or rent properties. With extensive experience in real estate assisting agents in their operations, I am very adept working with buyers and renters to find the right property.

In my spare time, I am actively involved in the Forest Hills Women’s Club, Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Parish (where I help organize the annual Taste of the World Food Festival) and Academy, as well as several charitable organizations including CaringKind NYC (Alzheimer’s Disease) and Forestdale.

“Denise was so important to the selling of our house. Her presence at our open houses provided potential buyers with a calm, reassuring voice. She was always available to us with offers, status updates, etc. We were so happy with her expertise in concluding our sale—we would never consider any other realtor.” - J. S.

"It was my good fortune to meet you and have you as the agent in my apartment sale. You were always so pleasant and responded quickly to any concerns I may have had. I truly appreciated your guidance and expertise during the selling process." - M.A.P.

“It was a pleasure working with you in buying this apartment. Thank you for your diligence and honesty during this process. I will be happy to use you in the future." - F.M.

“Our family successfully sold our late mother’s co-op apartment with the great support of Denise De Maria and Steve Storen. They both helped throughout the process, dealing with issues and delays that were exacerbated due to the pandemic and the fact that all of our family live outside of Forest Hills. With their patience, persistence and expertise, our mother’s apartment closed successfully. Based on our experience, anyone needing a realtor in Forest Hills will be in excellent hands with Denise and Steve.” - J.M.

"It was an absolute pleasure to work with Denise. As first-time buyers, she walked us through the entire process and answered all our questions. Denise understood exactly what we needed, so we were able to purchase our apartment in a matter of months. She certainly went above and beyond." - G.S.R.
