"We probably would not have purchased an apartment without Diane. She was super helpful and knowledgeable about the market, and literally willing to do anything to help us get to closing." - Chris T., Brooklyn Buyer

"Diane helped me with my first purchase of a condo and subsequently with renting it out. Throughout the entire process she was extremely professional and responsive, and was because of her dedication and skills we landed a great deal with both buying and renting, despite the challenges posed by covid-19. I would definitely recommend Diane!" - Brooklyn Buyer

"As a first time home buyer in the challenging NYC market during COVID, I needed a real estate agent who not only knew their "stuff" but also would patiently guide me through the process.....and that turned out to be Diane. Starting with our initial discussion I could tell that Diane was extremely knowledgeable about the market, and particularly impressed me with her data-driven focus. Throughout the entire process Diane was very responsive to my (many!!) questions, and guided me through each requirement to ensure I was always one step ahead. Diane did a great job with the final negotiations and diligently helped me through the long co-op board application process. I finally moved into my fantastic new apartment a few weeks ago and have Diane to thank for it!" - Manhattan Buyer

"Highly Recommended - Diane provided the highest level of care possible, and was honest, realistic, helpful, dedicated and prompt from start to finish. She went above & beyond in ensuring I found my ideal home, and had a smooth and easy experience, I was very lucky to have her representing me. Diane was an absolute pleasure to work with, I will work with her (and only her) again in future and I have enthusiastically recommended her to my friends & colleagues." - Sophie Y., Brooklyn Buyer

"Diane went above and beyond to help us secure our dream apartment in NYC. She was extremely helpful, responsive and competent. She made sure we were completing all of our applications correctly (it was a condo application so required a lot of work) and took the time to compile and deliver the application as well as check in to make sure of receipt and that everything was moving as it should. She had amazing attention to detail and helped guide us through the process. We will highly recommend Diane to all of our friends looking to move in the NYC area!" - Jennifer C., Manhattan Buyer

"I enthusiastically recommend Diane to anyone looking to sell their property. As an attorney I am very picky regarding other professionals and their diligence. We hired Diane to sell our family's estate at a conservative coop off of 5th Ave. We were quickly and completely confident in Diane's consummate professionalism, experience, and indefatigable nature throughout to meet the goal with which our family tasked her. There were many hurdles in the estate sale journey which had to be overcome that Diane made easier by connecting us to advisors within her network who helped expedite the process. She was always responsive in communication, consistent in her follow through, detail oriented, and went above and beyond to achieve a successful result in a tough market. I highly recommend hiring Diane if you are looking to sell your property." - Manhattan Seller

"Diane kept me organized, asked all the questions I didn’t know to ask and was an extremely effective and genuine asset to our home search. She knew Manhattan and Brooklyn extremely well and listened to our needs and budget. Finding trust in a realtor was refreshing and her approach could not have been more effective and professional. She found us our dream home and will be the person we go to for any investment we make in our future, truly. Good luck in your search!" - JP M., Brooklyn Buyer

"Diane was a pleasure to work with, proactively helping me through the application process, and providing me with all the needed guidance to complete the purchase. Couldn’t recommend her more for future home buyers." - Sebastian T. Brooklyn Buyer

★★★★★
"I worked with Diane in purchasing a home in Manhattan. She was a consummate professional throughout the entire process. We had previously worked with a couple of realtors and had a very unpleasant experience due to lack of transparency as well as a lack of knowledge/expertise. That was /not/ the case with Diane. She knew everything that was going to happen or could happen throughout the process as well as the important questions to ask the seller's realtors. She had great recommendations for the team to execute the closing and was attentive and kind while we looked for the right property as well as when we made an offer and through the closing process. She stayed in touch with the seller's team regularly throughout the offer and closing process. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in the New York area." - Anna D., Manhattan Buyer

"Diane was amazing to work with. She was one of the first brokers I approached and she told me the truth, which at first I didn't want to listen. After months of trying to figure out things on my own, I returned to her and changed my strategy. Within weeks I had found THE apartment, and during the anxiety of negotiation and paperwork, Diane stayed by my side. Couldn't have asked for better guidance or a better partner on this, and she does *care* about you, which is rare in the business. Not only do I have a new home, but I also got a friend in the process!" - Jess W., Manhattan Buyer

"It would be very hard to find a better broker than Diane. She is extremely professional, always on top of things, very attentive and respectful. None of the smallest details were ever missed. Due to our work schedule we traveled a lot during the process of buying an apartment, so we prepared ourselves for delays. However, because Diane was always available via texts, WhatsApp, call, fax or emails regardless of our time-zone or location, we did not loose a single day. She managed to get all the necessary paperwork, walked us through endless applications and always submitted them on time. Besides, she speaks at least 3 languages (English, Russian and Hebrew), and it was helpful in our multilingual family. It was a truly pleasure to work with Diane, and we will definitely ask her to help with our future deals." - Viktor A.

"Diane Is amongst the absolute best in her profession. My experience dealing with Diane from the initial stage of searching for properties to purchase, all the way down to closing, through a complex buying process, was nothing short of outstanding. Amongst other things, I was specifically impressed with the timeliness of responses to my questions and queries throughout the process; a dedication and detail regarding execution, rarely seen. Diane also gave us very clear and good advice on aspects and trade-offs with respect to various properties, so that we were in a position to make a very informed decision, according to our own criteria. I would unreservedly recommend Diane to anyone wishing to purchase a property. You will be equally delighted." - Manhattan Buyer

★★★★★
"It was a great experience working with a seasoned and caring professional like Diane. She worked hard to get us the best possible deal on an apartment. We initially contacted Diane with an intent to purchase a property. She advised us on buildings and inventory which would be desirable, and provided a cost analysis of all the properties for purchase vs. renting. Ultimately we decided renting would be the best fit for us. Diane suggested a great new rental building which had a ton to offer us. Then she negotiated a phenomenal deal with many concessions and secured the apartment for us. Throughout the process Diane was responsive, got us information we asked for and sincerely went the extra mile to make us happy. The process was very seamless. We confidently recommend Diane to anyone looking to purchase or rent a home and would happily work with her again in the future." - Manhattan Renter

"If you are looking for a real estate professional who is experienced, dedicated, honest, hardworking and responsive, work with Diane. From the beginning of my property search, she listened to my needs and took the time to show me properties around the city until I decided on the right location, building and space. When I had found the apartment I truly loved, we had entered into a bidding war to secure it and initially lost the property to another buyer who bid higher and received the contract. Diane continued showing me other alternate properties, but yet was savvy enough to constantly stay in touch with the sellers broker of the property I wanted to check whether their deal was going through. All the while my career keeps me traveling a lot. Diane patiently worked around the delays, and always thought of me and sent me properties to review. Due to her persistence and dedication, she found out that the property I wanted, the one we had initially lost in a bidding war, became available again because their contract had fallen through. Diane immediately contacted me to let me know the update, we quickly made a below asking price offer on the property and I successfully bought it. I couldn't be happier in my new home and building. Diane covered me on other fronts as well by tirelessly working on my behalf to try and sublet my rental so that I didn't have to pay a leasebreak fee, as well as connecting me with a great real estate attorney. Diane is knowledgeable and savvy about the market, accessible, and always does her best to get you what you want. I truly enjoyed working her, and highly recommend her. — Manhattan Buyer Diane is a top notch professional in the NYC market. She is very knowledgeable about Manhattan and Brooklyn and provides very useful advice to make the most informed decisions. She is patient with her clients but persistent to get the job done. Very great partner along the buying journey. In my case, she helped me find my last home while also helping me rent the coop I was living in at the time. Positive, patient, and professional!" - Paul L., Manhattan Buyer

"We embarked on the journey to purchase a new apartment while simultaneously selling the current apartment where we were living. The market for our budget was tight, and we were encountering bidding wars at many turns and properties were selling fairly quickly. Diane understood our nervousness and concerns about finding the perfect home, and she was patient as we looked at probably 20+ properties. Diane helped us vet the buildings we liked by obtaining critical documents, offered advice on why certain properties were better than others, and easily collaborated with other agents in order to schedule appointments. When we finally found the perfect apartment, Diane negotiated and secured an even lower price than we were willing to pay! We were thrilled to have found our home! Diane then guided us through the Board application process step by step to make sure our application was perfect, and helped expedite any delays of the application passing through to the Board. We were invited to the interview and quickly approved. I highly recommend Diane as a professional, diligent, responsible and caring broker who sincerely has the concerns of her clients at heart and works to get the best deal for her clients. I have already recommended her to my friends." - Mary M., Manhattan Buyer

"Diane helped us in the sale of our cooperative apartment in NYC. She was a professional from the start... friendly, informative, and eager to help! She provided excellent service from the suggestions on how to stage the apartment to help make it more attractive to potential buyers; to how we would proceed with the showings once the apartment was ready; to the constant attention and direction she provided through the sale/contract process to the very end. There are many parties involved when it comes to selling a coop. Diane was one of the few that we felt we could count on 100% to provide advice and guidance and help point us in the right direction. She was always timely with responses (text, call backs, emails, etc.). You could tell she knew what she was talking about and had been in this industry for quite some time. She spoke up on our behalf when more information was needed but not provided, always with our best interests and needs at heart. I would highly recommend Diane and Meier International to anyone who is looking to buy and sell in NYC! Even though we were only selling a one bedroom and were considered a smaller fish in the big city, Diane never let on that that was the case and always treated us just as important as her bigger clients. I cannot say anything negative about our experience. In addition, I can not express how grateful we to her!" - Manhattan Seller

"I can't recommend Diane enough. Although I know plenty of people in the real estate industry, we were connected by a friend who assured us that Diane was the person to go with and we are so happy we took that advice. While Diane has many strong points, there is one that truly stands out: she is a fierce advocate for her clients. In an industry where everyone is just looking to make a buck, Diane has the best interest of her client in mind first and foremost. If you're inclined to move on a property, but Diane sees substantial issues down the line, or senses an area that the seller is hiding something, she'll make sure you know, saving you heartache in the long run. She's incredibly knowledgeable about many different areas of NY and understands the processes and chess games necessary to get to closing. She guided our maneuvers to to get an offer accepted on a property that would have gone into a bidding war if we allowed time for the seller to entertain more apartment hunters. We eventually closed on the place. She's also incredibly responsive and her answers are thorough. She seemed to always be on call, and every question received a prompt and clear answer. We changed our target area and budget a few times, and Diane rolled with all the fluctuations very professionally. If you're going to get in the boxing ring that is buying a NYC property, you definitely want Diane in your corner." - Daniel Z., Manhattan Buyer
