We just bought our house with Daphne's help and couldn't recommend her more! After losing two bidding wars using a real estate website's service, we decided to go with a local realtor with more experience. From our initial discussion where she really took the time to understand what we were looking for, to the excellent communication throughout the buying process, to the kindness upon closing-it was an entirely different and impressive experience. Daphne is extremely well-versed in every aspect of the Boulder real estate market and her wealth of knowledge was invaluable to us in buying our home. She was not only able to advise us on neighborhoods, history of the area, value, bidding, etc, she knew so much about what to look for that may be of concern inside the houses. In addition, she gave us the most wonderful recommendations of others to work with, from our local lender, to inspector to sewer guy-all did an exceptional job. We couldn't be happier with our experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a real expert who is also a pleasure to work with. read more

Daphne is just fantastic & fabulous! Words cannot describe how lucky we were to find and work with her. I would highly recommend her to everyone. We were so pleased with her attitude and dedication. We are first time buyers and were guided the whole way through this hefty process with such care, professionalism and a good sense of humor. On top of that ,we just moved from New York City to Boulder and had little knowledge about the housing in Colorado. Daphne was sure to keep us informed. Daphne is very knowledgeable within Boulder County (We bought our house in Erie, CO. I am not sure if she is specialized in other counties in Colorado as well). She knows the home values for all neighborhoods. She told us where to find information about school districts, shopping and things to do online. She listened to what we want from our first home. The first time she took us to look at some real estates, she showed us different type of homes that we can afford in--different areas. We thought that was a brilliant strategy because it provided us a way to see variety of homes in various areas. She made the process seem like a piece of cake. She kept us informed, educated us on the process, and continues to follow up with us. She is extremely responsive to all our inquiries whether they are through emailing or text messaging. Once we made our decision, Daphne is quick to make sure we get it! She made things happen! Daphne was honest, real and selective. She would steer us away from properties she didn't think were up to snuff and would point out flaws we didn't even see. Kudos! If you want to be part of a winning team, you can with Daphne. read more

Daphne is a freaking rock star. Not only does she totally "get" her clients, she also has an unbelievable understanding of the boulder market. She knows every neighborhood and person in Boulder and is an amazing resource during the home buying process and I have still been emailing her for her advice and contacts even though we have been in our home for more than 6 months. You will realize from the first time you meet with Daphne that she is an incredibly savvy realtor, a truly trustworthy person, and a great friend. read more

I have worked with Daphne as the home inspector on several of her transactions. She is a true professional and a joy to work with. She is an advocate for her clients. As no home is perfect, inspection reports can reveal minor to serious issues in a home. No matter the issue, Daphne has an extensive network of professionals that can come in to further evaluate, provide cost estimates, or perform required repairs. She works with the inspection report to negotiate on behalf of her clients for whatever the situation needs. I recommend Daphne for her commitment and professionalism to her clients.

I met with Daphne while in the Boulder area for a job interview as I knew if I landed the job (which I did) I would want to move quickly to purchase a home in the very competitive Boulder area and she had such great reviews on here I thought she would be a great place to start. It seemed as though she completely wrote me off after that meeting. I'm not sure if it was because I was younger and she did not think I was going to actually move forward with an purchase where most of the single-family homes are priced over $450k or if she was simply too busy to take the time to follow up with a person who was not yet in the area but I was underwhelmed with the follow up. All I received from her after that initial e-mail was her company form e-mail letters on their market analysis. Not to say that those weren't interesting to read but I cannot say I would trust a real estate transaction in her hands. Maybe if I were looking at some of the higher priced homes ($1 million and up) she would have had more time. Generally, she was pleasant enough and seemed reasonably knowledgeable about the market trends. Just not impressed with her customer service or responsiveness. I did find another realtor who was amazing and somehow managed to get me into a home even though our offer was $20k under the highest bid. read more

We had SUCH an amazing experience working with Daphne. First of all, she was super flexible with my craziness (we didn't decide to meet with a realtor until the night before we flew into Colorado and we got engaged the morning of our appointment so I was admittedly mia when she tried to reach me to finalize the appointment.) My fiance was transferring from SF to Boulder, and we were totally unfamiliar with the area. Daphne met us for coffee, listened to what we were looking for and gave us an honest take on the Boulder area and housing market. Then, she took us on a tour of Boulder to show us what was available in our budget in different parts of the city. We quickly learned that Gunbarrel would fit our budget, lifestyle (triathlete and cyclist) and that we could get infinitely more bang for our buck than in central Boulder. We also realized that unless we were willing to fly out at the drop of a hat, we'd likely have to make an offer on a house sight unseen. As scary as that was, Daphne assured us that she could do walk-throughs and get questions answered on any house we saw. Boy did she deliver! Daphne introduced us to mortgage brokers and helped us get pre-approved to speed up the offer process. We watched for houses we liked online and found one we loved the day before Thanksgiving. We were in Mexico, and didn't have phone access, but Daphne worked around it. She kept in contact via email and imessage answering all of our questions, assuring us this was a fantastic house, and explaining the layout. On Thanksgiving day, she helped us draft an offer and cover letter, and our offer was accepted! Throughout the time we were under contract, Daphne went above and beyond what she needed to do to help us. Since we were still in San Francisco, she did all of the face time with inspectors, contractors and the sellers. She handled closing for us, made sure all of the furniture we purchased was there, set up radon mitigation, took in furniture deliveries, set up utilities and a million other little things that we couldn't handle from afar. I can't stress enough how happy we were with Daphne. She helped us buy a beautiful home and walked us through every step of the process. She's knowledgeable about the neighborhoods and has amazing ideas on updating houses. Most importantly, she had our best interests at heart. I would recommend her without hesitation, especially if you're new to the area. Thank you Daphne! read more

This review is long overdue (Daphne for some reason I thought I had already done this, so sorry!) We relocated from California to Boulder two years ago. It was October, very little was on the market, and we had less than 3 days to find a home! Daphne made herself fully available to us, and drove us all over Boulder County in rain and sleet to find a home. She acted fast and had great advice, helping us get a great house in a great neighborhood. Worth noting: we had our toddler with us at the time, and she was wonderful with him, too. She is down to earth, friendly, and a straight shooter. read more

I have so many great things to say about Daphne! I am a first time home-buyer who just moved from Austin, TX and she helped SO much . She answered all my questions (which there were a million) and did not get annoyed, and assisted me in getting a house that had 8 offers on it. I was interested in a house I saw on Zillow, so I contacted her and she did some recon and found out that there were already quite a few offers on the house, so I needed to get a mortgage pre-approval letter as well as include a personal letter with our offer so that we could hopefully get the house. She connected me with a local mortgage company that turned around a mortgage pre-approval in less than 2 hours on a Friday afternoon (which is a miracle in and of itself) and got the offer in on time. Long story short we got the house and when we closed she brought over wine and a lovely houseplant, and was super sweet. She knows the area really well and will tell you like it is, which is great. She also knows a lot about the area that we were moving into and informed us about the good grocery stores and local events. Such a kind person, great Realtor. I would recommend her wholeheartedly. read more

I am a residential mortgage lender and have worked with Daphne on a number of transactions. Daphne's knowledge of Boulder and her willingness to go above and beyond for her clients far exceeds some of the other Realtors we've done business with. Recently we worked on a purchase together where she helped buyers purchase an amazing home sight unseen, orchestrating all the details from start to finish while they were out of the state and country! And not only is she a great REALTOR, but she's also a blast to be around. I highly recommend her. read more

Daphne really took the time to get to know what we wanted out of a house and neighborhood and even with all of our own research online she identified the best neighborhood for us. She was so helpful through the entire process of buying a house. Couldn't have asked for a better, more knowledgable, or friendly realtor! read more

Daphne truly cares about her clients. She is professional and goes out of her way to ensure their needs are met. I highly recommend Daphne for either selling or buying a home, whatever your need you can be assured she is on your side 100% read more

We hired Daphne as our buyers agent to help us purchase the house we had been renting for several years. We contacted a few agents and Daphne responded immediately with research and specific questions about our transaction. When our case got complicated she immediately made time to show us other homes for sale that exceeded our expectations. We really felt like Daphne went to bat for us. From start to finish Daphne was our champion. She was always super quick to respond by text, phone, or email. She was relentless in her dedication to making sure our transaction went smoothly. We appreciated that she was friendly with the people in our neighborhood, our inspector, and other realtors. Everyone has something great to say about her. read more

We relocated to the area, and found Daphne came highly recommended by several sources. We were not disappointed...she was so helpful to us as first-time home buyers. She is knowledgeable, responsive, personable, and even fun to work with! She definitely made a generally stressful process feel a lot more comfortable. We'd recommend her to anyone! read more

Daphne is without a doubt the best realtor I have ever worked with. Her gregarious personality combined with her knowledge of the market is unsurpassed. Daphne doesn't do anything half assed, she's a force to be reckoned with. Her real estate sign is almost as impressive as she is! I had over 35 showings the first day my house went on the market, I think 80% of those showings were the result of Daphne's networking capability, she does know how to create a buzz. The other 20% probably called about the house because they could see the sign from a mile away. My house sold in 1 day with multiple offers and I do credit this to Daphne. I was nervous that this happened so fast because I didn't have time to think about what I wanted to do or where I wanted to go. Daphne calmed me down and took me to a house and said "You need this house!" and she was right. I made this transition from old to new house in a few short weeks. Daphne's intuition was absolutely spot on and I have never been so happy with a house before. I'm being totally honest when I say 5 stars are not enough! read more

Daphne is absolutely amazing. We moved from California to Boulder and had to handle almost everything remotely. She immediately figured out the houses we were interested in and targeted the exact kinds of properties that we wanted to see. This meant we saved both time and money when finding our perfect home. She also has all the necessary contacts in the Boulder real estate market. In the end, we got our dream house before it even went on the market. Without her help we would never have even been able to make an offer, let alone get the house. She worked really hard for us and I can't say enough good things about both her work ethic and her personality. She is fantastic to work with and I highly recommend her as a real estate agent. read more

We worked with Daphne Queen, and it could not have been a better experience! Daphne is smart, tough and straight with you. We ended up with our dream home at a great price in an amazing location in Boulder (just around the corner from her, actually). She was super easy to work with even though we were working with her from California and she was there with us every step of the way: she went to bat for us during the negotiation phase, she helped us read through all the paperwork, she (and her office) kept us abreast of all relevant scheduling details and handled appointments like inspection, and she went above and beyond when we finally got to meet her in person. You won't regret working with Daphne or 8z! read more

Daphne is FANTASTIC and we definitely recommend working with her. We relocated with an infant and dog from California to Boulder and really needed someone who was going to be an advocate for us and help us through first time home buying. Prior to the house hunting trip we had a couple in depth conversations detailing what we were looking for and also the best way to be most competitive. Daphne had three local lenders we interviewed and were pleased with the one chosen. Daphne uses a great website where you can sort through all the houses on the market into trash, maybe, and yes and add comments or questions. This organization allowed us to do a lot of the leg work with her before we came our for our trip. The first house she showed us (thinking it would be the one) is the house we ended up putting an offer on that day. She helped get the offer accepted and inspection set while we were still in town. Beyond making sure we had everything needed to close, she helped us set up contractors (painters, window replacement, plumber and a handy man) to fix some things before we moved in. There is no way we'd be in the house or have these things done without all her help. We are so thankful that we found her!! read more

Our family was fortunate to have Daphne help us to both sell a home and buy a home. Her advice is always solid and honest. Her experience in Boulder County is superb. She took the time to really understand what we were looking for. She was incredibly patient. And she took the time to clearly navigate complex situations and to represent our property and our interests. She went above and beyond to advertise our mountain home so it would get noticed. She got our offer in promptly in a hot market and helped us to act quickly but without pressure. We all knew we were making the right decision on the purchase. I wish I could pull a star out of the sky and put it here. Hands down- Daphne is awesome! read more
