I am a Real Estate Broker and an Attorney. I have worked in various aspects of the Real Estate business for over 50 years. Needless to say, I can appreciate Terrific Real Estate people when I work with them. Dianna is one of the exceptional handful of people that you have the good fortune of working with, once in a lifetime. We met her at an open house and she took our information and requirements. She kept us in mind, and when she heard a property was going to be placed on the market, she contacted us. It was just what we wanted; and, we started to negotiate to buy it before it was listed. In spite of Dianna’s efforts, the seller elected to list it. But Dianna persevered and she carefully guided us through the process, and through her efforts, the seller accepted our offer. BUT, that is where Dianna’s efforts on our behalf really began. She got us the best inspection team we could ask for and they identified items that needed to be dealt with. Even though we were in a tight seller’s market she negotiated concessions on our behalf that were fair and did not upset the seller. After we closed, Dianna referred us to some really amazing contractors/repair people who did exceptional work in converting the property into what we had envisioned. She was patient, kind, and professional all the way. We consider her one of our new friends. She is, without doubt, a true professional, who loves her work and her clients. Nuff said!!!!!!

"Over the course of the last 25 years Dianna has handled all 6 of my real estate transactions. She has consistently been extremely competent in all aspects of the real estate markets and sales process as she constructs the very best deals. She moves forward in a swift, efficient manner that evokes the high standards that are always above and beyond the call of duty."
Mr. Serrano
I have always been very impressed on the knowledge Dianna has to offer to guide people on selling and or buying a property. She has been my agent for a few years and it does not matter how often you buy or sell that is a process and can be quite stressful if you do not have the right person guiding you through it. Looking back, wether it was buying or selling every transaction went very smooth and stress free. I have recommended her to friends and family when I am asked if I know of anyone that is experienced and professional in real estate

Dianna McGarvin is a pro's pro.....in every sense of the term. She is experienced, knowledgeable, energetic, calm under pressure, and pleasant to be around. She responds quickly to phone calls and is there when some one needs her. Dianna has a terrific reputation among her peers and is honest and forthright in her dealings. My wife and I could not have been more pleased with the help, advice and guidance she provided in the sale of our previous house and the purchase of our new house. Sincerely, Paul and Patti Fieberg

Dianna was everything I needed in a Realtor. She was my advocate from start to finish. She knew the process well, knew the area well, identified issues I would have missed as a first time buyer, was able to negotiate various credits for me from the seller, and stayed on top of everything. Her down to earth approach and directness in communicating made it easy for me to learn and to put my trust in her. After closing she followed up with me to be sure all was going as it should. Very personable, very easy to work with, very professional. She will be the Realtor I call when I'm ready to purchase again. I highly recommend her."

Dianna is fabulous to work with in every possible way! Incredibly accessible and always in her best disposition. We just finished buying our second property with her help. Never feel any pressure from her, nor do we feel like we are bothering her when we call her or request things. Dianna's high work ethic is something we can relate to and appreciate

Dianna helped us evaluate and purchase an amazing home in The Strand in Dana point California. Dianna had created highly detailed, marketing materials, photos, and provided a wealth of knowledge on the history of the home. Dianna also diligently helped the homeowner prepare the home for sale, including a lot of hands-on work, she did personally to make sure the house looked amazing, Dianna was always available to help us in anyway we needed and was extremely professional and knowledgeable and I highly recommend her for either listing your house or as a buyers agent.

Dianna McGarvin has been an absolute blessing to work with!! She was with me every step of the way...made this entire process smooth and peaceful! Dianna is so kind and warm hearted and she guides you along with confidence!! Dianna was always on top of everything...she not only sold my home, but also helped me find a place to live. Moving is a stressful time, and Dianna truly handled every detail and was in constant communication. I not only got to know Dianna on a professional level, but have also gained a friend!! I would highly recommend Dianna with any home needs..selling or buying a home, or finding a rental. Dianna’s professional ability/knowledge and her bright smile, makes any home matters a joy!! I will definitely be using Dianna if I have any other house issues in the future!!

I feel very lucky to have met Dianna and have her represent me in the purchase of my condo in Dana Point. She was both the listing agent and the buyer's agent in this property. She was extremely fair to both sides and her knowledge of the entire escrow process was very professional. She was ALWAYS available to answer questions when I had any and made the process as smooth as can be. I have worked with other real estate agents and she is by far the best!
I highly recommend her!

While checking out open houses to get a taste of what was available on the market my wife and I bumped into Dianna. We were immediately drawn to her friendly, knowledgeable, and patient style.
We were relocating from the Bay Area down to Dana Point and really had to rely on Dianna to be our local eyes and ears in the home buying process. She did so flawlessly, always making herself available, responding to us immediately, and helping us checkout the home we decided on purchasing.
Once we'd settled on the place we wanted to put in an offer on she immediately had the written offer ready to go and guided us through the negotiation process. It all went very smoothly until it was time to coordinate with the mortgage lender, escrow company, and buyer. The mortgage company was completely disorganized and, frankly, dropping the ball in an unacceptable way. This is where Dianna really shined, she stayed on top of them, catching their mistakes and ensuring they kept progressing at the pace agreed upon for closing - being extremely busy with work and real-life in our own daily lives it was absolutely reassuring to know we had Dianna taking care of things behind the scenes, one less thing that we had to worry about.
In the end, we successfully closed on a house we love and we could not be happier with our choice in Dianna as our realtor. Today, of course, we're elated with our new home and can't imagine moving anytime soon, but, in the future she'll be the first person we go to and will be the first person we recommend for those in need of a realtor.
Thanks Dianna!
