Testimonials
"Diana is a pleasure to work with, from start to finish. She understands the local real estate market. She was an immense help in getting our house ready to sell and staging it. She helped price the house strategically. The pictures she arranged for the listing were exceptional and she directed the photo shoot with an eye to showing the house to its full potential. She organized the showings and was able to be at the house when we couldn’t be. She helped us negotiate with potential buyers to get the best house possible. She remained an integral part of the home sale, attending the home inspection and the appraisal. I highly recommend Diana!"
-J. Bressman, Client
"It was a pleasure to work with Diana! She knows the business and the area and is quick to respond to questions and concerns. She's also upbeat and friendly, so our interactions were always enjoyable. We received a great offer, so there was no negotiation involved, so I can't comment on that, but really takes her client's interests to heart. We were having trouble selling the furniture in the house and Diana photographed it and posted it online for us and even fielded inquiries about the pieces. She even pitched in at our yard sale! I wouldn't hesitate to use Diana's services again. She's honest and talented and a credit to her profession."
-E. Smith, Client
"We found Diana on the web when we were looking a house in Livingston. She is very nice, friendly, knowledgeable and most importantly resourceful! Diana toured us through Livingston until we found what neighborhood we wanted to live in. She carefully listened to our preferences and was very helpful and patient while showing us many different options within different price points. Once we found our dream house, she did not rush us in making a decision. When we were ready to make an offer she was great in negotiations, and discussed every detail with us, and provided her perspective. Being this is our 1st house in New Jersey, she also walked us through NJ inspections by detail which was hours of her time and so helpful! We have already recommended her to a few of our friends, I would recommend Diana to everyone who is searching for their dream home."
