Meet Diane Edwards, Realtor .
Diane lives in the Rancho Murieta CA. community is married and is

could get to know her better! In upcoming magazines she will be giving you some helpful tips regarding real estate.
What made you go into Real Estate and how did you get started?
My husband and I started looking for a place to retire and in doing so realized it was also a great opportunity to make changes
in our personal and business lives. After leaving my career in Human Resources and owning a business, going into Real
Estate just seemed to be a natural move. I realized quickly that real estate would allow me to meet individuals from all walks
of life and play a si gnificant role in meeting their needs and desires in one of their biggest financial decisions.
What do you love about Real Estate? What type of training have you had and continue to have?
I’ve come to believe that my career in human resources and owning a retail business were just
stepping stones in preparing me for a successful real estate business. A real estate transaction
becomes very personal and emotional as most sales and purchases are triggered by an event
in a person’s life. A few examples are - relocation for a new job, loss of job, marriage or
divorce, blending of families, downsizing for retirement. As you can see, either way it could
be a positive event or a tragic one. It is my responsibility and duty to understand the
circumstances to ensure the best end result for my client.
One of my peers calls me a chameleon because he says he’s never seen someone change how
they interact with a client in an effort to fit the client’s personality trait. I think he meant this
as a compliment!
I enjoy the complexity of each transaction, negotiating contracts, marketing and managing
timelines. I particularly enjoy the aspect of outlining and explaining the process and
requirements. The last thing I want is for a client to be surprised with fees or costs
associated with a closing. Many new buyers don’t realize they are responsible for up-front
fees for inspections and appraisals. Also, there are added closing costs in addition to the
purchase price of the home. The same goes for a seller, many sellers are unaware of the
closing costs associated with a sale including pro-rated taxes and interest payments.
What type of clients do you cater to? There are many different types of real estate that one can get
involved in, what is your specialty?
I specialize in residential real estate and love both sides of the transaction representing sellers, investors and buyers. My
expertise in negotiations, marketing and technology are instrumental assets in procuring the highest and best offer for my
sellers. These same skills are applied to buyers with emphasis on utilizing the most cutting edge resources in searching
for the right property, negotiating within a client’s budget, then orchestrating all inspections and timelines.
I represent families, young professional, newlyweds, retirees and investors. I pride myself on providing the highest level of
service whether it is a $30,000 mobile home or a $1,000,0000 luxury home. You see, my business is primarily based on
referrals from satisfied clients. A referral is the best compliment I could ever receive!
