" I recently worked with Diane listing my property in Delray Beach. She was amazing. I’ve rented, bought and sold dozens of properties and I’ve never had a realtor work this hard for me. There were numerous complications along the way and she navigated them with ease and constant communication. Absolutely lovely to deal with and felt she always had my back and understood my concerns. Thank you, Diane. It’s not often I’m impressed with agents in general and you proved to be on the top of my list. I’d use your services again for sure and highly recommend you to others.

" Diane is so wonderful, she is easy to work and extremely thoughtful! My husband and I worked with her to find a rental property — she is super knowledgeable & was great at negotiating on our behalf. She thought through all of the things that would be important for us as we are expecting our first baby and was great at raising concerns about certain properties that we were potentially not thinking about. We was also not pushy and was very patient with us. She was also very flexible with us in terms of showing us properties when we were available. " -Jennifer Maizlish

Her communication skills are excellent and she was very hands on throughout, from helping us look at potential homes, making an offer, and the closing/transfer process. Her dedication to clients is noticeable and we will definitely use her services in the future. " -Clea Strydom

We can not say enough positive things about Diane Rattray. Selling our particular home was not easy because of the variety of styles and ages of the homes and smaller size of the neighborhood. This made determination of a optimal sale price very challenging.. In addition, the inflated mortgage and home insurance costs created significant barriers to a sale. As a result homes in our neighborhood were on the market for sometime.. Diane had to perform a comp assessment that required extensive and difficult analysis. .Nonetheless, we were overjoyed when we accepted an offer for our listing price within one week. Our house sold within 2 months time. She was always very amicable to the buyer and us. We highly recommend her to anyone one looking to buy or sell a home. " -Dana and Rob

She also found me a great lender and insurance agent and advised me when I needed guidance. We finally closed on my condo this week after much back and forth and negotiation. Thank you, Diane for being such a great help to a new permanent resident and for your assistance at every step. " -Lynne Tehini

"We being new to the West Palm Beach area found Diane to be very helpful with our home search. Diane is very familiar with the area and gave us the details on neighborhoods and other geographical information on properties. Diane knows the home buying process very well. With Diane's help, two of the three offers we made got accepted. Thanks to her, we found our dream home. With the market being very competitive, finding a decent home in this area in just a few months is a testament to Diane's real estate skills. We felt Diane put our needs first and at no point came across pushy. We strongly recommend Diane with your home real estate needs. " - Sekhar Talluri

"My husband and I worked with Diane recently to purchase a condo in Boca Raton. Being that we were unfamiliar with the area, we relied heavily on Diane to point us in the right direction given our extensive wish list. Because we don't live in the area, we were very short on time to find the perfect condo. Diane took us to about 30 different condos over the course of a 2 day period, which required a lot of planning and foresight to be able to pull off. Ultimately we didn't settle on anything we saw that day, but because of the knowledge we gained from those two days, we were able to purchase our condo after only seeing it via video call. We closed a couple of weeks ago and we couldn't be happier with our decision. Diane was great throughout the process and we couldn't have been happier with our choice in a realtor. I highly recommend her! " - Ann Jackelow

" My wife and I were fortunate enough to be introduced to Diane through a mutual friend, and are we glad we were. Diane helped us find the home of our dreams, where my wife, my son and I will make many long lasting memories together.

" Finding the right real estate agent could be a real adventure. But we were lucky in Boca, we found Diane. We cannot imagine anyone more helpful, dedicated and professional. Well prepared, always focused on us and our needs even though the whole process was rather complicated by us being in Europe and flying over only for an absolutely necessary couple of days visits. Diane not even helped us to find the house according to our needs but she also provided fantastic support regarding many other aspects of our relocation. We will always be thankful for her support and we are ready to recommend her services to everyone making his/her new house in South Florida " -Michal Jelinek

"Diane was a wonderful surprise! I live out of town and needed a realtor to handle the renting of a family residence from afar. She turned out to be incredibly pleasant, efficient and professional. She went above and beyond and handled every detail with ease and excellent communication between all parties. I highly recommend Diane as she will not only go the extra mile, but will be sure to tie up any loose ends and make sure everyone is happy with the result. A win-win for certain. Mary in NYC" - Mary
