We may not have gotten our home if it were not for Diane. She made countless phone calls, emails, visits to the home for us. We were buying while still in North Carolina and she was was always there when we needed her. She kept us updated every step of the way throughout the whole process. Would highly recommend Diane for anyone looking to buy or sell as she always gives 110%. Thank you Diane!!!
Had a great experience working with Diane in the sell of our house. She provided good advice and took the time to understand our goals. She was always available and kept us informed throughout the entire process. Diane is great with details and it's something that is often overlooked when working with an agent. Would highly recommend.
Diane helped us relocate with the sale of our old house and purchase of our new house. She was amazing every step of the way and we're very happy with how both transactions went. She also really understood our needs and matched us with great houses to look at. The entire process was very stress-free thanks to Diane's guidance and expertise.
Diane was an exceptional partner to have in the purchase of our property. We were dealing with an exceedingly difficult Seller who was selling their property themselves. We originally talked with them two years ago and opted to pass on the opportunity at that time. Diane spent the next year patiently sending us other opportunities, setting up viewings, and providing her perspective on the market. Eventually, we circled back to the original property and found that Diane had stayed in contact with the Seller periodically as she had the instinct we would come back to that opportunity. As such, picking up the negotiation was seamless. As a result of the Seller not retaining his own realtor, Diane had to carefully provide feedback and insights to keep the process moving forward while not offending a delicate personality. The process fell apart a few times, but Diane had the experience and perspective to see through the hurt feelings, frustration, and anger of both sides to find a workable deal for all parties. This was no easy feat and only somebody with her extensive experience and perspective to see "the forest through the trees" could have got it done. Finally, Diane always kept our family's interest top of mind. She always provided her honest opinion, even if it meant that a potential commission would be lower or take longer to come to fruition. It is a level of dedication and honesty that I have seldom seen in a realtor partner. The level of trust that I have in Diane is enormous. In summary, I cannot recommend Diane highly enough. She has the experience and perspective to get things done. Additionally, she is unfailingly loyal in a space where a trustworthy partner is hard to come by. Diane is the best.
Diane worked with us all the way through, helped with so many details to get us and the house ready for market, managed the marketing and showings so well. She did what I hire a broker to do--make this process easy for me. And such a pleasure to work with.
Diane was incredible to work with. I met Diane 2+ years ago at an open house in Needham - I told her we weren't ready to buy YET but that we were just learning the market so we were prepared when we were ready. Over the last two years, Diane would reach out with listings (on and off the market) with no pressure, just as an FYI. When we were ready to buy, we worked with Diane and she was amazing. Others have said that Diane makes you feel like you are her only client (you aren't! but she is that good)--I couldn't agree more. She helped us navigate the process and we found our perfect home. You want Diane to be on your team! I HIGHLY recommend her.
Diane was amazing. She did not pressure us. She answered all questions and more. Gave lots of good advice. Knowing how stressful this was, she made it so easy for me. She had become more than a friend. Recommend her highly to anyone looking to buy, sell or have real estate questions asked.
We cannot thank Diane enough for all of the hard work and dedication she put forth while helping us find and purchase our first home. Between finding out, a week before closing on our first property, that it was being taken off the market due to unprofessional and unresponsive sellers agents, to finding and quickly closing on our perfect home, Diane was attentive and professional throughout our entire process. Even with a very short time line, Diane was always organized and diligent with each task that needed to be completed, often following up to ensure all parties were on track. No email, phone call, or text was left unanswered regardless of the time of day. Being first time home buyers with many questions, never once did we feel uncomfortable going to Diane for guidance. She came with great recommendations for mortgage and legal advisors, both of which were just as professional and attentive as her. There is no doubt in our minds, that with out Diane we would not currently be living in our lovely home, on a beautiful property, in a wonderful town. Diane is extremely passionate about her profession and truly cares about her clients and their best interest. We would highly recommend Diane to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home!
We had the pleasure of working with Diane Hughes Valente to sell our home in Needham. Throughout the process of pricing, listing, staging, showing and ultimately selling our home. Diane was attentive to our needs and provided value-added assistance, advice, and counsel. Diane was in-tune with the current real estate market and expertly helped us navigate the real estate process. She made herself available day or night to patiently answer our many questions and provide direction throughout the process. Diane was always available for phone calls, texts, and emails. There was never any waiting around for her to respond and, in a competitive market, that was a very valuable thing to have in an agent. She was always professional in her manner, courteous in her demeanor, and focused in her efforts on our behalf. Even more importantly, Diane made us feel valued as clients, friends and has become like family to us. It is rare these days to find a ethical, dedicated and conscientious individuals like Diane, who strive to make service excellence, and client focus and satisfaction, more than just cliches. We would highly recommend Diane to any one seeking an experienced realty professional to guide them through the home selling or buying process. Overall, Diane is exceptionally savvy, knowledgeable, extremely patient, and very dedicated to her clients. We completely and fully endorse her services, and highly recommend her to sell and buy real estate.
Diane was key to us finding our forever home! As first time home buyers, her expertise on the process and neighborhood helped us tremendously. She was quick to respond to every question and showed she cared more about us and our wishes than the sell itself. She found things that all other professionals involved in the process missed! She truly became part of our family and I cannot recommend Diane enough!
