Coldwell Banker Hearthside has recruited Darlene DiVona, a luxury new-construction specialist formerly with Toll Brothers Real Estate, the company announced. The addition is a strategic play to bolster the brokerage's footprint in Bucks County's high-end residential market and signals continued competition for top-tier agent talent in the region.
DiVona brings hands-on experience in new construction, luxury homes, and active-adult communities, along with an insider's understanding of the homebuilding process. That builder's-eye perspective, the company said, gives clients an edge when evaluating properties, understanding available options, and navigating each stage of a transaction. For buyers and sellers in Bucks County, her arrival could mean more informed guidance on new-construction purchases, a segment where specialized knowledge often determines whether a deal closes smoothly.
Jamie Mancuso, CEO of Coldwell Banker Hearthside, said the hire will amplify the firm's luxury presence. "Her experience with one of the nation's leading luxury homebuilders, combined with her deep knowledge of Bucks County and unwavering dedication to her clients, makes her a phenomenal addition to our company," Mancuso said. "Her expertise will supercharge Coldwell Banker Hearthside's presence in the luxury home market, and we couldn't be more excited to support her continued success."
DiVona said she chose the brokerage for its reputation, local leadership, technology, and marketing support. "The company's established presence in Bucks County and the luxury market, along with the global reach of the Coldwell Banker brand, gives me the ideal platform to grow my business and serve my clients at the highest level," she said. Through the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury program, she gains access to sophisticated marketing resources and international exposure for distinctive properties.
The move expands DiVona's reach beyond new construction into the full spectrum of residential real estate, from first-time and move-up purchases to luxury properties. She will help buyers find homes while guiding sellers through preparation, marketing, negotiation, and closing. Coldwell Banker Hearthside is a family-owned and operated business with more than 15 offices across Western New Jersey and the Delaware and Lehigh Valleys in Pennsylvania. Founded in 1991, it has been recognized as a national sales leader within the Coldwell Banker network and has received awards including the Coldwell Banker Chairman's Circle and the "Best of Bucks" distinction for its Doylestown office for 20 consecutive years.

The hiring reflects broader trends in real estate, where brokerages are competing to attract agents with specialized expertise as luxury and new-construction demand remains resilient in suburban markets. For consumers, the shift could mean access to more knowledgeable representation, particularly when evaluating builder incentives, upgrade options, and long-term property value. For Coldwell Banker Hearthside, adding a proven luxury producer strengthens its ability to capture high-value listings and compete for affluent buyers in a crowded marketplace.
