Description of Work: I truly believe that if more agents had Diane's integrity, the housing crash would not have occurred. I purchased my first home, a small starter condo, with help from Diane at Picket Fence Realty in 2003. Eleven years later I am still moved to write A+ reviews. | |Diane is fun to shop with--something that makes a big difference when you're spending hours together, often in the evenings after work. Diane's sense of "fit" is slightly uncanny. She visited a condo on her own that I had overlooked due to its unflattering photos, and encouraged me to check it out. I fell in love instantly and ended up buying it. Diane thoroughly and patiently explained the purchasing process to me, making sure I clearly understood each step. | |Most remarkable, however, is Diane's integrity. I purchased my home in 2003, back when banks were eager to lend money that borrowers could not afford. Diane urged me to honestly assess my finances and purchase a home based upon my ability to afford payments, rather than upon what the bank would lend me. This decision cost her over $1000 in commission and saved me from a precarious situation. Diane did the right thing for me, not for herself. My hope is that her integrity will be rewarded in droves.

+ -1 moreOur friends recommended Diane as she helped them get their house and she was really great - we did not have a big budget and had lots of requirements (areas, size, etc) but she helped us find the perfect house. It was a short sale, which we thought would take much longer, but she helped us close very quickly (as fast or faster than non-short!). She really went the extra mile - she explained everything to us, drove us to look at many houses, and helped us through the whole process. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a house.
Description of Work: Diane was our real estate agent for finding and buying our house.

+ -1 moreI was so impressed by Diane Coyne's integrity and skill that I'm writing my first Angie's List review about Diane Coyne and Picket Fence Real Estate, 8 years after I used her services! As a first-time buyer, I didn't know much about the home buying process, and I feel incredibly glad I chose Diane to help me. I bought my condo in 2003, a time when banks were eager to lend more than borrowers could afford. Diane earned my absolute respect and gratitude by gently and politely suggesting that I *not* purchase a "fixer" home that would have been a struggle for me to afford, even though this meant she earned a 40% smaller commission on the sale. Yep. Diane chose to earn 40% less in order to do the right thing for her client. I am deeply indebted to her for that advice. Each time I hear a news story about an unfortunate person who bought more house than they could afford, I thank Diane Coyne. Diane also has an uncanny matchmaking sense. In the brief time we had been looking at homes together, Diane developed a strong sense of my personal style and lifestyle needs. Instead of the "fixer" home in a far-flung neighborhood, Diane showed me a beautiful condo I had overlooked in my online search because its square footage was listed incorrectly. She had seen this condo in person and knew that the online photos didn't do it justice. She also knew I would love its vintage charm, and I immediately did. I was thrilled to later learn, when my neighbors told me what they'd paid for their units, that I'd gotten a tremendous deal. I have been living in the condo for eight years and loving it.
Description of Work: Diane showed me properties, walked me through the buying process, offered extremely sound and honest advice at her own (considerable) expense.
