Coldwell Banker Hearthside has recruited Darlene DiVona, a luxury new-construction specialist previously with Toll Brothers Real Estate, the company announced. DiVona will serve homebuyers and sellers throughout Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and her arrival signals the brokerage’s push to deepen its footprint in the luxury market.
DiVona’s background includes hands-on experience in new construction, luxury homes and active-adult communities, along with what the company described as an insider’s command of the homebuilding process. That builder’s-eye perspective is expected to give her clients an advantage when evaluating properties, understanding available options and navigating each stage of a transaction. Her move expands her practice beyond new construction into the full spectrum of residential real estate, from first-time and move-up purchases to luxury properties.
Jamie Mancuso, CEO of Coldwell Banker Hearthside, said DiVona’s experience with a leading national luxury homebuilder and her knowledge of Bucks County made her a significant addition. “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,” Mancuso said. The hire underscores how regional brokerages are competing for agents with specialized builder knowledge as luxury and new-construction demand remains a key segment of the housing market.
DiVona said she chose Coldwell Banker Hearthside for its reputation, local leadership, technology and marketing support. She also cited the company’s established Bucks County presence, its standing in the luxury market and the global reach of the Coldwell Banker brand. Through the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury program, she gains access to sophisticated marketing resources and international exposure for distinctive properties. “I couldn’t be more excited to join the Coldwell Banker Hearthside Family and dive into this next chapter,” DiVona said.
The appointment matters beyond a single agent move. 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. It provides residential and commercial real estate services, including mortgage, title, insurance, land development, property management and relocation, through a one-stop approach. Founded in 1991, the company has been a national sales leader within the Coldwell Banker network and has received awards including the Coldwell Banker Chairman’s Circle, triple “Platinum Broker” recognition from Cartus Corporation, Best Real Estate Brokerage from Bucks Happening and, for the 20th consecutive year, the “Best of Bucks” distinction from The Intelligencer for its Doylestown office.

For Bucks County buyers and sellers, DiVona’s arrival means access to an agent who understands both the construction and resale sides of the market. For Coldwell Banker Hearthside, it is a signal that the brokerage intends to compete aggressively for luxury listings and new-construction business in a region where such properties command premium attention.
