With decades of real estate experience, you will not find anyone more capable and more dedicated to serving clients. As a distinguished Realtor, Diane has emerged as a leading expert in residential listings and sales in the Orlando, Florida area. She is committed to providing outstanding professional and personalized real estate services.

 

Although Diane’s path to real estate as a career was a circuitous one, the benefit of her eclectic and well-rounded background is that it provides many advantages over her competitors. After working in academia, military contracting and telecommunications and earning a Master’s in Educational Media, Diane sought a career in which she could control her own destiny by building her own business. She readily transitioned her skills in research, communications and marketing into a successful real estate career.  Diane’s clients and community have recognized these skills and rewarded these efforts:

 

·         Top Individual Sales Associate for 12 of the Past 18 Years.

·         Consistently Ranked by ORRA in the Top 1% of Central Florida Realtors in Listings and Sales.

·         Featured in Orlando Magazine’s “Hot 100” Central Florida Realtors (12 times since 2008, including 2022).

·         Awarded Orlando Magazine’s “FIVE STAR BEST-IN-CLIENT-SATISFACTION” for Superb Customer Satisfaction Ratings (11 of the past 14 years).

·         One of Only 10 Realtors in Central Florida to Receive the REALTOR.com’s Award of Excellence for Online Marketing.

 

Diane’s success can be attributed to her passion for what she does, her dedication to her clients, and her dual specialties in both Listing and Buyer Representation. But beyond her proven expertise, it is Sterling’s industry-leading service that separates her from the pack. True to her slogan of “Sterling Service…Sterling Results,” Diane is committed to not only meeting but exceeding her clients’ expectations. Clients consider her their “Realtor for life” and continually return for her services and also refer their friends, family, and neighbors.

 

In her personal life, Diane just celebrated her 35th anniversary with her husband Gary. They have 2 grown daughters, Lindsey and Christine, who graduated from University of Central Florida and University of Florida, respectively and who are both working and thriving in their chosen career fields. Diane and Gary were blessed to gain two sons-in-law over the past few years as each of their  daughters married. Diane and Gary were especially blessed last year with the birth of their first grandchild...a precious boy named Landon. Diane is also active with her church and gives back to the community through outreach services. In her spare time, Diane enjoys traveling domestically as well as abroad with her husband. She feels very fortunate to have many loyal clients and is still calling real estate her passion after all these years!
