ZillowVERIFIEDDianna 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

ZillowVERIFIED 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 Diannas 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 Diannas 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 sellers 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!!!!!!

ZillowVERIFIED 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.

ZillowVERIFIED Dianna was awesome every step of the way. She was knowledgable, in control of the process and made the purchase and escrow go extremely smooth. I really enjoyed working with Dianna as she is very personable and kind as well, which is always a plus when going through a purchase of a new home. I have been in real estate as an investor for over 35 years, rarely do I come across a more conscientious real estate professional as Dianna. She even sent me a copy of my closing for tax purposes! I have NEVER had a realtor do that before. She continues to take care of her clients even after the escrow has closed. How refreshing!

ZillowVERIFIED Dianna was excellent at the services she provided to us. First on marketing our townhouse for a long term tenant lease. Then after a year of renting we decided to sell and she found us several buyers. We were able to sell in a short amount of time and to buyers that would keep our tenant! Dianna was the perfect agent for both of our needs and would highly recommend her to anyone.

ZillowVERIFIED Dianna was a dream to work with. She had ideas, suggestions and a team that was highly responsive to help us through the whole process of getting our place ready for sale. Dianna understood our specific challenges and issues, and patiently worked with us to get a top dollar and it sold quickly. Would recommend Dianna to friends and family.

ZillowVERIFIED I cant speak highly enough of Dianna McGarvin. When working on an investment property purchase, her knowledge and professionalism was greatly appreciated. Dianna is detail oriented, honest and able to troubleshoot and make the process as smooth as possible. Highly recommended.

ZillowVERIFIED Dianna is not just a fantastic, kind, knowledgeable realtor, shes an amazing human being that truly cares about what you are looking for. She answers you right away and has extreme patience with those of us who are "picky" people. :) She is truly one of a kind in a world of multiple realtors out there. You will love working with her, she gets fast results! AND is so amazing while doing it. 100% you should hire her today! She has helped us several times in 12 years.

ZillowVERIFIED Dianna was suggested to me by a friend who gave glowing reviews. My husband and I were not disappointed! She is very friendly and responsive. She made every step of the process easy as we both sold our home and bought a new one with her. Would definitely use her again and will be recommending her to friends and family. Wonderful experience!

Review for Member: Dianna McGarvin
ZillowVERIFIED 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.

ZillowVERIFIED I was very fortunate to have met Dianna to list my fathers family home who recently passed away. I had no idea what selling a home entailed! She made the sale seamless and quick!. She is professional, experienced, knowledgeable and compassionate. I must say she kept me calm thru the entire process. She made me feel important to her as a client. She answered all my aEURoedailyaEUR? calls quickly and without hesitation. Her patience with me to explain a process and or question speaks columns about her vested interest in me as her client. I can honestly say, hiring Dianna as our agent was the was the BEST decision and I would highly recommend her. Harcourts is very lucky to have an employee like Dianna to represent their company.

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I have moved many times during our 43 years of marriage. And now we are entering into our golden years and retiring. Weve used many different realtors over the years and we have never achieved the magnitude of service and professionalism that weve experienced under the guidance and direction of Dianna McGarvin. In fact in years past, weve had to make multiple informational requests of our past realtors, this has not been the case with Dianna McGarvin! In fact, it was so refreshing when she contacted us with any updates, and critical information, that we mightve requested, before we even asked her. We would highly recommend Dianna McGarvin. She is the most professional and responsive Realtor that we ever dealt with.

ZillowVERIFIED We had an excellent experience with Dianna. She started by advising us on the things we should do to the house to get it ready to sell. We took her advice and she sold it in a week! She helped us through the offer stage, advising us on the best offer to accept and we were extremely happy with the end result. We definitely recommend Dianna McGarvin. She's very experienced, knowledgeable, and gets the job done.

Review for Member: Dianna McGarvin
ZillowVERIFIED We started working with Dianna McGarvin in September of 2020 on the purchase of a condo in Dana Point. She adeptly negotiated a fair purchase price and walked through each step, ensuring we were always aware of the procedural steps needed to ensure the property was brought up to good standard prior to final acceptance. She never delayed in any point in the process, and was always available to us for discussion, questions or to allay any concerns we may have had. We subsequently worked with Dianne to then sell our other Laguna Niguel home. Again, her knowledge of the real estate market values, and recommendations for gaining top dollar for the home were on target. She worked diligently to be sure we were comfortable with all aspects of the sale before moving forward. Her knowledge, professionalism and expertise made us feel secure and supported throughout both processes. This has been our first purchase/sale in over 25 years and Dianna made sure we had all the information we needed to understand as we worked through both real estate transactions.

ZillowVERIFIED Dianna McGarvin just sold our home in Laguna Niguel thousands above asking price. Throughout the negotiation and closing process, Dianna was the calm during the storm of negotiations, contracts, staging, home inspections, termite inspections, moving company fiascos, and closing the sale. In addition to being personable, Ms. McGarvin is a skilled real estate professional who never wavers in her commitment to her client. My husband and I have bought and sold several homes in several states and Dianna McGarvin was the easiest to work with, the most responsive, the most knowledgeable, and the best communicator. She always stayed in touch and followed up immediately to questions. I consider it my lucky day when I met Ms. McGarvin during an Open House she was holding during 2019. I liked her no-nonsense approach coupled with congenial professionalism. After that meeting, I knew that I would want to have Ms. McGarvin represent us if we ever decided to sell our home. When we did decide to sell our home months later, Ms. McGarvin was our choice as a real estate professional who sold our home without drama, just good old-fashioned business sense and aplomb. Thank you, Ms. Dianna McGarvin.

ZillowVERIFIED Dianna helped me lease a highly upgraded two bedroom condo in Dana Point and sell my one bedroom. She was gracious, knowledgeable, and without her quick thinking we wouldn't have got our new place. Dianna was there for us every step of the way. She was quick to respond to phone calls and texts, offered advice when asked, and all of her recommendations helped my condo sell over a weekend during Covid. She was able to sell my condo for a great price and put my mind at ease every step of the way.

ZillowVERIFIED We had used Dianna to sell one of our condos and were very pleased with the way she handled the transaction. We had no issues so wanted her to sell the condo we live in at Dana Point. She did another excellent job and was very in tune to what was happening in the market. We feel that we got a fair price given the market conditions and that Dianna worked hard in our best interest. We would highly recommend her and use her again if ever the need arose.

ZillowVERIFIED 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!

ZillowVERIFIED 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.

ZillowVERIFIED 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!

ZillowVERIFIED I can't thank Dianna enough for helping us find the perfect house, and helping us all the way through the purchase. We live out of state and so Dianna went above and beyond to do all the inspections and on site appointments on our behalf. I have known Dianna for 25 years, as a friend, neighbor, and real estate agent. She and is honest, hard working, and knows how to make things happen. We will continue to have Dianna represent us on all future sales and purchases. We can't wait to celebrate with her after our upcoming move to our new home!

ZillowVERIFIED We first met Dianna in 2008 and she helped us to locate and purchase our 1st investment property in 2009 and assisted with the purchase of a 2nd property in 2014. She was our first choice to sell one of these in 2018. Dianna is very familiar with the So OC real estate market and provided great guidance on preparing our property for sale and the pricing of the property, which went under contract less than 2 weeks from listing. On a personal note, Dianna is very responsive and has a great, positive and energetic attitude. Overall we have enjoyed working with Dianna over the last 10 years and have no qualms in strongly recommending her for the purchase or sale of your home.

ZillowVERIFIED I met Dianna McGarvin on the phone when I was inquiring about a property. I immediately felt a professional ease. I never felt pressured or rushed. I knew right away she had the experience and attention to detail I was looking for in an agent. Her responsiveness is hard to find; she answered my calls, emails, and texts in an extremely timely manner with detail. I also liked her kind and gentle nature and feel I have not only gained an excellent hard working agent, but a new friend.

ZillowVERIFIED 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 smoth and stressfree. I have recommened her to friends and family when I am asked if I know of anyone that is experienced and professional in real estate.

ZillowVERIFIED Dianna has been a pleasure to work with and has made our home buying purchase a seamless experience. From the start, Dianna made herself available with immediate responses for anything we needed and was also able to quickly provide referrals to lenders, inspectors, and any other source we would need when making an offer and ultimately purchasing our new home. Dianna is so easy to work with and navigated the entire process from start to finish. My husband and I genuinely appreciated her approach, timeliness, follow through, and business perspective. We have already recommended Dianna to friends and will continue to do so.

ZillowVERIFIED This is our second home Dianna has sold for us. We needed to sell our mom's home in Leisure World who had recently passed away. As always she was professional, diligent and knowledgable, but what impressed us the most was her kind, thoughtful, and sensitive approach due to the circumstances. We needed to move fast and she listed the house at a fair price that would get things moving, and we had 2 offers the first day. We were in escrow the next day and she handled everything beautifully. We highly recommend Dianna McGarvin. Frankly I don't think there is a more qualified agent in South County.

ZillowVERIFIED We would highly recommend Dianna as your realtor. She is very knowledgeable of the industry and prior to putting our condo on the market, we reviewed what the market conditions were and what we needed to do to get the most from our sale. We were able to accept an offer within one week of listing and prior to the first day that we were going to have an open house. As we moved through the process, Dianna kept us in the loop as to what was going to happen and what we needed to do to satisfy the buyers requirements. Any questions I had were responded to promptly and I am not a very patient person. All in all, we are very happy with the results and very much appreciated Dianna's expertise and hard work.

Review for Member: Dianna McGarvin
ZillowVERIFIED I started working with Dianna when I needed to find a renter. She found the perfect tenant - a young female professional that kept the home as if it were her own. So, of course when it was time to sell I went back to Dianna. She thoroughly vetted potential buyers. Dianna was proactive and aggressive when a first escrow fell through. She went back to prior visitors of the property. She honed in one one in particular that was an elderly lady who loved the property but wasn't prepared at the time to move quickly. She needed time to consider selling her property, buying and moving. However, she had said she loved the property and it met all her requirements. Dianna's call to her put things in motion. The buyer put in near full price cash offer. We didn't miss a beat and closed within 40 days. Thank you, Dianna!
