Diane is the best…hands down the hardest working and dedicated Realtor that I’ve ever worked with!

Diane is off the charts amazing! She has tremendous energy and out standing problem solving skills! We had to sell a family members house that was full of decades of stuff. It was dated and in need of repairs. Diane was able to facilitate getting the house emptied, items donated, repairs and updates done. Then had deep cleaned, staged and the yard cleaned up. Her listing marketing strategy was spot on! We ended up with multiple offers and sold for 50k more than it had appraised at! Diane is positive, pleasant and a true professional! If you need to sell, put Diane on your team and you’ll be writing her next review and recommending her to everyone!
