Consulting Services Reviews
Attention to Detail
Dave Krider, Birmingham I’ve used Denise Evans for a number of real estate consulting and brokerage needs. My first contact with her was to negotiate details of a contract after I already signed the LOI. She turned up a discrepancy when she attempted to find a legal description to put on the purchase contract. Everybody told her it did not matter at that stage, but she insisted on an answer. That led to discovery of the property never having been subdivided from a larger parcel and never assessed in the seller’s name rather than the tax-exempt government prior owner. If she had not found these problems, and I signed the contract, at a minimum closing would have been delayed many months in order to obtain subdivision approval. Worst case, I would have been hit with five years of escaped taxes with my first tax bill after closing. The seller was not cooperative regarding contract language Denise recommended I include to protect myself, so I cancelled the LOI and moved on.

Learned a Lot
Jason Osborn, Fairhope I found Denise Evans' expertise invaluable in my role as a court-appointed receiver. Denise possesses both breadth and depth of experience necessary to make value and process judgments in connection with tax sales and redemption. She is highly knowledgeable in all aspects of redemption, including valuation, construction, maintenance, sales and marketing, and operation of various types of real property, and she is not afraid to get her hands dirty. [Note from Denise: He means that I climbed up on a flat roof with the inspector and went inside a junked out building, NOT that I knee-capped someone!] As a practicing lawyer, I was already generally familiar with the redemption process, but I learned a tremendous amount from Denise. Beyond her substantive knowledge, I truly appreciated Denise's responsiveness and diligence as a referee. I would highly recommend Denise Evans to anyone.
Negotiations
Sell or Hold?
Leigh and Doug Pate, Birmingham Denise's analysis was a game-changer in guiding our decision regarding a 10 Single-Family Residence (SFR) portfolio. Faced with the choice between immediate sale and reinvestment or upgrading, raising rents, and holding, Denise's evaluation illuminated the latter's potential. Following her recommendation to allocate resources to upgrade and hold the properties proved to be the more profitable route over five years. With her guidance, we capitalized on asset appreciation and market positioning, resulting in significantly higher returns upon sale. That advice cost her a very large commission and earned her a very small consulting fee. But, we will list with her when it is time to sell, at a much higher price than now. With Denise, her advice wasn't just about profits—it was about building a solid investment for the future. She genuinely cares about what's best for you in the long run. We wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking expert guidance in real estate investment endeavors.
Foreclosure Investing
Bill Brett, Gulf Shores I highly recommend Denise Evans of Butler Evans for any real estate transaction needs. My wife and I recently engaged Denise's services for the second time to help us secure a complicated foreclosure sale, and we were extremely pleased with the results. Denise is an expert in the troubled real estate space and possesses a wealth of knowledge and experience. She is easy to work with and very thorough in her approach. For a very reasonable fee, Denise plotted a course of action and did all of the work, including working with directly with attorneys, completing all paperwork, and bidding on the property. Her efforts and expertise were invaluable in helping us navigate the many layers of challenges we encountered. I have no hesitation recommending Denise to anyone needing consultation services for complicated real estate transactions. She is an outstanding professional and a true pleasure to work with. We would certainly use her again in the future for any of our real estate needs.
Josh Anderson, Birmingham Outstanding Work. For those that are needing negotiations - you already know how much you are paying your attorney an hour. But to have someone handle this from start to finish with very little involvement with the attorney was a breath of fresh air and an ease to my wallet. Denise is a worth every dime she charged.She kept me well informed, was quick on turn around, and got us the number we wanted - I know the other side wished they had her. Denise knows her stuff very well and can push back with facts and law to move the ball down the field. And I got useful information for next time. I am more than pleased and can highly recommend her services.

Best Money Spent
Hunter Sandlin, Bessemer The best money I've spent this year. I hired Denise to do some consultation concerning a property. She has been helpful, quick, knowledgeable, and honest to the utmost degree. The fee she charged, in my opinion, was well below the value she added by giving me confidence as an investor and helping me to avoid mistakes I surely would have made. If you are considering anyone else for services you could otherwise get from Denise, I strongly urge you to reconsider and save money by using quality service the first time. I will certainly be a repeat customer!
