Diane’s interest in real estate began when she helped her father flip houses in her early twenties. After working for 12 years as a Team Leader for the Bergen Superior Court, she took time off to raise 1 year old twins and a newborn. After several years as a stay-at-home mom, her passion for real estate & design was always in the forefront of her mind. As her babies grew, so did Diane’s passion to finally get into real estate. “It’s never too late to begin a new career,” says Diane. “Being a stay-at-home mother is the hardest job in the world.”

Diane was one of the first to implement and leverage social media as a marketing tool in selling real estate. Her proven marketing strategies also include staging a home with an interior designer’s touch. “I showcase my clients’ homes the same way I’d showcase my own home,” says Diane.

Her determination is evident as Diane is consistently recognized as one of Northern New Jersey’s top producers.

Diane is a recipient of the New Jersey Realtors® Circle of Excellence Platinum status from 2018 through 2023, the highest level a realtor can achieve. Diane’s lifetime sales is $337.7M+. There is no secret to her success . . . hard work, passion, and the art to making a deal drive Diane’s business.
