Our family thanks you for such a painless home sale! You have made such a giant source of anxiety into a huge success. Thank you for your constant calm and encouragement, and for guiding us in all kinds of ways. You made it look easy!! I appreciate the expertise you have used for this wonderful home.

Margaret B. | Home Seller
testimonial quote

I recently had the pleasure of working with Diane Dowd as my realtor, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From start to finish, Diane was professional, knowledgeable, and always had our best interests at heart. She took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and worked tirelessly to find the perfect home for us. Her communication was excellent, always keeping us informed and answering any questions we had, no matter how big or small. Diane’s attention to detail and negotiation skills made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We were even able to see houses before they hit the market, which in this competitive market was truly invaluable. If you're looking for a realtor who is dedicated, personable, and truly cares, Diane Dowd is the one you want by your side!

John & Diane were great. We really enjoyed working with them. If we ever need a Realtor again, we will give them a call. Real nice people.

John & Cathy Parkman
testimonial quote

We chose Diane because she had shown us homes 8 years ago. She was kind and professional then and she is excellent now in all aspects of her profession. She turned a major task of selling and buying a home into a pleasant experience. Thanks!

Daniel & Kathy Jamieson | Home Seller & Home Buyer
testimonial quote

We would like to share our experience on purchasing our ranch home, which we closed on 9-14-20. Diane Dowd went out of her way to assist us from beginning to end. The search has been extensive for the right home to accommodate our needs. We can't say enough about this couple! So much patience, and always available to answer calls or texts. They also sold our first home of 26 years in Loves Park, which had an unusual floor plan, making it a real challenge for buyers. We sure give thanks and appreciate John & Diane Dowd.

This was our first house. John made the process much easier than we expected it would be, and he provided an excellent contact person for our mortgage.

Diane was and is a super agent/person. Her friendly and genuine concern is a true asset to her position. That is why we wanted her to handle the sale of our former home.

Keith & Sheri Conrad | Home Buyer

John was extremely patient with me. We traveled around a lot and he didn't seem to mind. I was very pleased that John didn't try to sell me on properties. I knew what I was looking for and he worked with me until I found it.

Diane did a good job for us. We would for sure call her again. She is very knowledgeable and personable. She got the job done when others could not, and even got us a fair price. We will recommend her to friends and family!

John was excellent. He put up with a lot. The sellers were causing a lot of problems, but he had a lot of patience. He was wonderful! Thanks, John!

Kate Hill | Home Buyer
testimonial quote

After spending a couple of months last summer and fall house-hunting, I decided to wait for a while. Diane, by this time, had a good idea of the neighborhood and house style and condition I desired. After not speaking with her for months, she suddenly contacted me about a house I might like the morning it came on the market. It was perfect - everything I was looking for. Fantastic job, Diane!

Donald Radtke | Home Buyer
testimonial quote

Diane showed us ALL possibilities. Very efficient and professional. Always replied back very quickly. All our needs were taken care of. Thank you!

Robert Larocque | Home Buyer
testimonial quote

John & Diane & everyone in the office were very good about letting me know about showings and all that was going on. They even saved me a few dollars on the home warranty. I really appreciate everything they did. They sold the house very quickly and I was not pressured to accept any bid.

We listed with John & Diane. The first people brought the house. This was the most painless thing we have done. If all your people are as great to work with, you will have no problems!
