Coldwell Banker Hearthside has hired Darlene DiVona, a veteran of Toll Brothers Real Estate, in a move that reinforces the brokerage's push into the luxury new-construction segment and expands its ability to serve buyers and sellers across Bucks County. The announcement, made by the family-owned brokerage, signals a strategic investment in specialized talent at a time when luxury buyers increasingly demand advisors who understand the intricacies of new-home construction and active-adult communities.
DiVona's background sets her apart. With hands-on experience in new construction, luxury homes, and active-adult communities, she brings an insider's command of the homebuilding process. That builder's-eye perspective allows her to help clients evaluate properties with confidence, understand available options, and navigate each stage of a transaction with ease. For buyers considering new construction, this expertise can mean the difference between a smooth purchase and a costly learning curve. For sellers, her market knowledge and client-first approach offer a competitive edge in a nuanced luxury market.
Her decision to join Coldwell Banker Hearthside was driven by the firm's local strength, technology, and marketing capabilities. "I chose Coldwell Banker Hearthside because of its outstanding reputation, strong local leadership, advanced technology, and exceptional marketing support," DiVona said. "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."
Through the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury program, DiVona gains access to sophisticated marketing resources, an internationally recognized brand, and global exposure for her clients' most distinctive properties. This matters because luxury real estate is increasingly a global marketplace, and sellers of high-end homes benefit from broad, targeted reach. The program also provides tools that help position properties effectively in competitive segments, from waterfront estates to custom-built residences.
Jamie Mancuso, CEO of Coldwell Banker Hearthside, emphasized the significance of the hire. "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."
The implications extend beyond a single hire. By bringing in a specialist with deep new-construction knowledge, Coldwell Banker Hearthside is positioning itself to capture a larger share of the luxury market in Bucks County and surrounding areas. DiVona's ability to serve clients across the full spectrum of residential real estate, from first-time purchases to move-up and luxury properties, aligns with the brokerage's comprehensive service model. That model includes mortgage, title, insurance, land development, property management, and relocation services, offering a streamlined one-stop approach for clients.
Coldwell Banker Hearthside, founded in 1991, operates more than 15 offices throughout Western New Jersey and the Delaware and Lehigh Valleys in Pennsylvania. It has been recognized as a top brokerage worldwide and a national sales leader within the Coldwell Banker network, with accolades including the Coldwell Banker Chairman's Circle and the "Best of Bucks" distinction for its Doylestown office for 20 consecutive years.

DiVona's arrival underscores a broader trend: as luxury new-construction activity remains robust in select markets, brokerages are competing for agents who can bridge the gap between builder and buyer. Her move to Coldwell Banker Hearthside not only elevates her own platform but also strengthens the brokerage's hand in a segment where expertise and marketing reach are decisive. For Bucks County buyers and sellers, the addition means access to an agent who understands both the art of the deal and the science of construction, a combination that can prove invaluable in high-stakes transactions.
