About Diane
I relocated to the Charlotte area over 11 years ago from Carmel, Indiana. My husband works in Charlotte and I have two wonderful kids. My daughter Kristen is a Clemson graduate and my son Mitch is a junior at Fort Mill High.
Prior to going into Real Estate I was an appraiser for three years. After deciding that job wasn’t for me I decided to sell Real Estate. I have been a realtor for over 6 years. In my first year selling Real Estate I earned “Rookie of the Year.”
I am passionate about helping people. I realize that the “Home-Buying and Selling” process is one of the most exciting times of our lives. I strive to provide exceptional personalized service using my years of “hands on” experience and problem solving skills to make this a positive one. I am dedicated to helping people…”Find Their Way Home.”
Special Skills / Interests
My Family and I moved to the Charlotte Area 12 years ago because of a job transfer. Since then, I have enjoyed the warmer winter climate, the bright sunshiny days I enjoy
Going to the Beach & Mountains. Both of which are a short 3 hour drive away. I’m a
Huge Indianapolis Colts fan, since I’m from Indiana. I have two children of which have and are attending the Fort Mill School. My daughter Graduated in 2001 from Fort Mill
High and went on to Clemson University and received a degree in Financial Management. She currently lives in the Atlanta, GA area. My son is a Senior in High
School. He hopes to also attend Clemson University and get a degree in Engineering, and get a job with the BMW Auto Plant in Greenville, SC.
