I could not imagine a better experience in buying our first home! Diana was always quick to reply to our many questions and emails. She guided us through reviewing several properties' disclosures and walked us through the real costs that were implied saving us headaches and heartache! Diana was always respectful of our budget and our location priorities. When we found our Berkeley home and put in our offer, she was great about coaching us through the process. It was a probate property and she quickly helped us to set aside fears and deal with the estate. We know that if she had not been so proactive with the estate's Realtor®, consistently ensuring with her communications that our offer would be competitive, we would not have gotten the house.

The probate attorney that made the final decision in our favor said that he, "wanted to be in contact with people who wanted it." With her constant updates and communications, Diana made sure they knew we wanted it! Leading up to our closing, she stayed on top of the estate to make sure they were keeping up their end of things and removing all the extra storage items, etc. She was also great about referring us to additional contractors and was there to help us get measurements of the home before closing. We will refer folks to Diana!
We had an amazing experience with Diana, who helped my husband and I buy our first house together. The real estate market in San Francisco is insane and she was our center of patience, knowledge, and positivity throughout it all. When we were about to give up, Diana came through with an off-market listing that was precisely what we were looking for. She has also been incredibly helpful to us since our house closed 9 months ago providing us with referrals for painters, contractors, and landscapers. In addition, she just went above and beyond and helped us with an assessment of properties in our neighborhood when we were trying to decide on what to renovate and if it would be worth it. I can't say enough good things about Diana, we just love her!
Diana is so much more than a real estate guru! Over the months we worked together, Diana played the role of listing scout, advocate, financial advisor, negotiator, property manager, design consultant, intermediary, and most importantly, friend as we searched for and found our 'forever home''. We went from speculative browsing to a focused search within a tiny neighborhood radius, and Diana managed to find us an incredible spot off-market. She was a pleasure to work with, she went to every end to find us what we were looking for, and we are so grateful!
As a first-time buyer, I appreciated the time Diana took to walk me through all aspects of the process and always felt that she was doing her best to be on my side looking out for my interests. When it came time to put in offers, Diana was available at all hours to make sure things got done as expediently as possible and was a true advocate for me during and after the close.
