“Thank you both for selling our home. We are very pleased with the end result, and know that it was your professionalism and expertise that made all the difference in bringing the right purchasers and then closing this deal. Thank you also for your kind interest in our well being, and for soothing our ruffled feathers and jagged edges! It has been a great pleasure working with you, and you can be sure we will recommend you to friends and family.”

Carolyn & Dan

“We were very pleased with our home selling experience with Diane & Jen, all the more so because we have not bought or sold a home for almost 30 years. We liked their professional straightforward approach. Our home is an unconventional one and it required the full use of their market knowledge. Ours was a positive and successful experience and we would warmly recommend them both to others.”

Christopher & Victoria

“Thanks again for such a great experience. The feeling that I got from your website couldn’t have fit the reality of what I wanted any better. I’m glad I took a leap with it and I would recommend you to anyone.”

“Great experience selling my home with Diane & Jen, just as it was buying my home with them. They understood my situation and my need to sell quickly. I was impressed how they were able to generate so much interest in my place so quickly. Thanks for helping me sell in 2 days!”

Dave

“The website provided great information on Diane & Jen as an introduction. Meeting them in person helped confirm the information on the website. We appreciated that there was no pressure to list the property and were not made to feel that we would inconvenience them if we did not. Appreciated the quality of the images and professionalism of the video used to market the house.”

Cathy & Dan

“We felt very comfortable dealing with both of you. The low pressure approach was very much appreciated. You made yourselves available at all hours and on weekends, which was very important to us because of our odd work schedules.”

Brendan & Jennifer

“Your professionalism and knowledge of the current housing market provided us with the tools we needed to feel comfortable in both the buying and selling process. We really appreciated your timely and informative emails. Your negotiation skills were imperative to helping us get what we wanted in both our new home and selling our current place. We can’t think of any area in need of improvement. We enjoyed working with both of you and will be sure to recommend you. You are a great team!”

Kathy & Carlos

“Due to some of its features, my house was particularly challenging to sell. In addition, there was a time crunch because I had already purchased a new home and the possession date was fast approaching. But Diane and Jen’s persistence and skillfulness landed us a buyer in the nick of time. As a team they really complemented each other and were a great pleasure to work with.”
