I am a long time central Austin resident (since 1978), a native Texan, fluent in Spanish, and a graduate of The University of Texas. My husband and I have two young boys (elementary and middle school), as well as a large golden doodle and a mini dachshund. I value my clients' time, and understand the importance of quick and personal response. My goal is to provide exceptional service from beginnin
g to closing and beyond. I specialize in Tarrytown, Pemberton, Bryker Woods, Old Enfield, Clarksville, and West Lake. With over 30 years of Austin living, I know and love all of Austin and have an insider scoop on each neighborhood and all things Austin! With an eye for design, I enjoy guiding my sellers on staging and prepping their home to sell, as well as providing vision for my buyers on a home’s potential possibilities. In today’s market it is essential to work with an agent who works hard, and has the knowledge, experience and networking connections to get ahead of the market. I apply all of this in finding the right home for my buyers often before a home ever hits the market. This is also key in establishing the ideal marketing plan, timing and pricing to sell a home quickly and smoothly. As a Certified Negotiation Expert, I obtain the best terms and price for my folks, while representing them in a professional manner. My prior experience as a business owner, and as a Human Resources Director for several corporations, contributed to my sharpened skills in marketing, communication, customer service and negotiation. I have grown my business through referrals from happy clients who have ended up as life long friends. I look forward to including you among them! TESTIMONIALS
“I absolutely loved working with Diane! She has such a great understanding of the Austin market- especially in Bryker Woods and Tarrytown. She was extremely thorough and pleasant through my entire purchasing experience- so much so that I engaged her help on another project! I would recommend Diane to anyone interested in the purchase or sale of a home and trust her implicitly. (Buyer and seller!)
“We purchased a beautiful home in the Old Enfield neighborhood. Diane was the listing agent, and we felt so comfortable when we met her, we asked her to represent us as well. She represented the seller and assisted us with the purchase process. She did a wonderful job and is a true professional. We liked her so much and were so pleased that we employed Tate Property and Diane, as the listing agent, to sell our other home. Diane sold our house in Allandale in two weeks! Tate Property is excellent at what they do, and they made both buying and selling easy for us as clients. They provided personal attention, beautiful photographs of our home and accurate information pertinent to our property and a seamless closing. They are absolutely an outstanding company who know the real estate business in Austin, Texas.”
--Lael and Obie H. (buyers and sellers)
“Working with Diane was a great experience! The constant communication and hard work was very much appreciated. Diane exceeded all my expectations throughout the process of selling my home!” —Weston B. (seller)
