Diane Barrington - Testimonials

Tell Us Your Story

I have used Diane Barrington for 6 real estate transactions since 2013.

Obviously, I think she does an excellent job. I have referred her to several friends moving to Florida. All are as pleased with Diane as I am. To begin with, Diane is very responsive to all your needs. You never have to call her to remind her that something must be done. She is always ahead of the process. When I was initially looking for property in the Sarasota/Bradenton/Lakewood Ranch area, I cannot tell you how many real estate agents I reached out to for assistance, and none responded as quickly and professionally as she did. Once I met Diane, I never needed to look for another agent. She knows the local real estate market. For all the services you may require for purchasing or selling (home, roof, pest, or pool inspectors, etc.), she knows dependable service people. In my opinion and past experience with Diane, she is the best you can get for your partner in purchasing or selling real estate.

Diane is an awesome agent and a delight to work with.

We are from out of state and she made herself available whenever we needed her. Diane made the sale of our condo a very easy process. It was on the market for ONE WEEK and closed three weeks later. We also purchased a new condo in the same area and she went above and beyond, handling many details that we could not, due to our not being in the area. We are looking forward to enjoying our new vacation home in Florida. We would highly recommend Diane as your choice for a professional, knowledgeable and understanding agent.

Diane Barrington was truly exceptional.

I was impressed with her level of knowledge and the amount of data that she provided about the market and the area I was seeking. It was a no-brainer for me to work with her and RE/MAX Alliance Group since I was set on buying in Lakewood Ranch and I’m so thankful I did. Diane Barrington was ALWAYS available for questions and concerns. Her responsiveness was incredible. Buying a new home is difficult enough but to accomplish that dream while still living up North is only attainable by having a realtor that has your best interest at heart. I highly recommend Diane Barrington to make your dreams come true. She went above and beyond for my family and I am forever grateful.

Diane was great to work with when buying our home in the Lakewood Ranch area.

She was so knowledgeable about the market. We purchased out of state and I felt that I could trust Diane's opinion and support throughout the whole process. She is always willing to discuss options, pays attention to details and explains everything. Most of all, she 100% has her clients back. There has not been once that I have not reached out and within an hour things are taken care of. Even now I know she is only one phone call away!

" Diane is without a doubt the best Realtor I have ever had the pleasure of working with.

We engaged Diane to sell our home in Lakewood Ranch, Florida recently. She met with us, told us exactly what was needed to prepare our house to sell, put us in touch with reputable vendors to make some minor repairs that were needed and gave us informed guidance as to how to price our house to garner maximum interest. Diane was in constant contact with us and provided timely feedback from showings and made suggestions about adjustments we could make to improve results. I am certain that it was through her dedication and attention to detail that we received a great offer within just a few weeks, but her efforts did not end there. Diane kept us informed through every step of the sale process. She was with us until the very last box was packed and we drove out of town. I can't imagine that there is anyone that could have done a better or more thorough job for us. If you are looking for a Realtor, whether buying or selling, you want Diane Barrington. Period. "

Jennifer Balades

We are very fortunate to have found Diane.

We've purchased and sold several homes over the years in Michigan, Colorado and California before deciding to move to Florida. We purchased a home and sold it six years later with her as our realtor. She is a phenomenal agent and has exceeded our expectations. Her attention to detail and knowledge of the Lakewood Ranch/Sarasota area has been incredibly helpful. Diane is a constant professional; kind, responsive to calls, emails and is always available. She is easy to work with and provides objective data and tons of information on the comps in the area. Her proactive approach makes the buying/selling process very easy. She takes extra steps that other realtors we've dealt with don't (but should). Diane is always on our side working to make the transaction as simple, smooth and successful as possible. My husband and I consider her a close friend and have highly recommended her to family and friends. Our daughter and her husband hired Diane recently to sell their home (which she sold in 3 days!) and put a contract on a new one.... They were very pleased with her along with knowledge of the choices of schools for their young children. If you're searching for a new home or thinking about selling, you absolutely cannot go wrong with Diane.

Cathy Smith

My husband and I were extremely happy with Diane Barrington’s service throughout the entire process of selling and buying our homes.

She provided us with helpful guidance every step of the way and ensured we understood all aspects involved. Thank you again Diane!

Susan Donnelly

Diane was amazing.

She worked with us while we were still in Michigan. When we arrived in Florida, she already had showings for us to see. She is an extremely knowledgeable real estate agent and was always available for us. Even after the purchase she helped us connect with local services and vendors. We would highly recommend Diane Barrington to buyers and sellers. Jim and Cheryl Hess

I had an outstanding experience working with Diane.

She exemplifies professionalism, possesses extensive knowledge of the real estate market, and was unwaveringly committed to finding me the perfect home. Whether it was exploring resales or new builds, Diane's expertise shone through, demonstrating her proficiency in both areas. Throughout the entire process, her communication was exceptional, and she consistently went above and beyond to address any concerns I had, particularly during negotiations. I truly felt supported and advocated for every step of the way. Thanks to Diane's expertise and tenacity, I was able to secure the ideal property within my budget and timeline, nestled in a family-friendly neighborhood. I wholeheartedly recommend Diane to anyone seeking a dependable and effective real estate agent familiar with the Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch areas, including specific neighborhoods and schools.

Kelli Schack

This marked the fourth time I have worked with Diane.

She is the ultimate professional, handles every detail and negotiated a price that was $10K higher than two similar condos that sold in the same time frame as mine. And the offer came within 10 days . I could not be happier.

Robert Boisselle

We would definitely recommend Diane.

She helped us navigate the purchase of our Florida home. Being out of state residents, Diane was invaluable in managing the process. After closing she also lined us up with trades people to refresh our home before taking occupancy. She is very knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with. We highly recommend her

I can't say enough about our wonderful experience with her. Her knowledge and professionalism ensured smooth, stress-free transactions all at prices we were very happy with. We would never consider a real estate transaction without Diane's help!

Kristy Leto

Diane is not only my favorite realtor, but she is like family at this point!

She has helped me with the purchase of two properties in the last couple of years and they have both gone smoother than I ever imagined. She's always on top of it and negotiated on my behalf for things that I didn't even know I needed/wanted. She is the best and I would 100% recommend working with her.

Diane worked with me to both buy and sell my condo in Sarasota.

Her many years of professional expertise, strong familiarity with the local market, incredible attention to detail, and delightful personality make her one heck of a realtor. No matter how nerve-wracking buying or selling can be, she remains optimistic and steady. I'm grateful for all her hard work and for always going above and beyond- I can't recommend Diane highly enough!

Mark Hazell

I have been lucky enough to work with Diane Barrington twice.

In 2010, she found me the perfect condo, working tirelessly for 4 months across 12 states to find me the perfect condo in Sarasota, Florida. When it came time to sell that condo this past year, I immediately called Diane and worked with her again, to get her advice about getting the property up to snuff and getting it on the market in a timely manner. We sold it within 5 days in a smooth-as-silk sale. All thanks to Dianne!

"Being and experienced investor and former owner of a brokerage and property management company, it was a pleasure to work with a realtor who was completely on it at all times. It is difficult to handle transactions from 1500 miles away and Diane made it seemless as well as Clear Title Group. Thanks Diane for all of you hard work and for getting us through the sale process without a scrape. Will use again when we are ready to buy again!"

I’m so thankful to have found Diane as my realtor and highly recommend her to help find your dream home! Thanks for all you do, Diane!!"

"Diane is the best of the best. This was our first home buying experience and there is no other realtor that I would have rather gone through this with. When we moved into the home, it was left dirty by the owners and Diane was quick to come by before we even moved in to CLEAN THE KITCHEN AND FIREPLACE FOR US! She is extremely knowledgeable in her field. When in the home buying process you want her on YOUR side. While dealing with other less experienced realtors it was very obvious that we had chosen the right realtor for ourselves. She is always 10 steps ahead of everyone else and thinking of everything that you might not be. I can't say enough about her. I continue to recommend her to family and friends."

"This is the fourth experience I have had working with Diane. The fact that she is my go-to Realtor and the only person I call speaks for itself. Diane’s thorough knowledge of the area and its real estate market helped me set a proper price for my home. Her negotiating skills brought a final price that was $10,000 higher than similar condos that have recently sold in the neighborhood. And, she brought that offer in 10 days! Diane’s excellent communication kept me informed every step of the way from listing to closing."

"Diane is by far the most outstanding realtor we've ever had. When we first met Diane our spirits were low as we had viewed over 30 properties with 4 offers and still no luck. Diane assured us she would get the job done and did she ever!! Third showing was a charm and we closed over a month ago. We're settled in and can't thank Diane enough!!"
