Ode To Diane
ODE TO DIANE
Since 1988, my wife Karen & I have had 14 different homes; ranging from a beach house on the Florida Panhandle, to a 5 acre ostrich ranch near Boulder, Colorado to a funky little trailer next to the beautiful Rocky Mountain National Park. We bought and sold some ourselves, but mostly we used real estate agents. We’ve kissed a lot of frogs and one princess.
The Princess is Diane. Until we met her a few weeks ago at one of her ubiquitous open houses, we never realized what a great real estate agent should do. Diane was amazing! She did an open house, had a real estate agents “caravan”, prepared a home inspection, had an appraisal done and did a classy virtual tour of our house, after she gave us a list of the things we should do to make our house show better- we even had to buy new towels and fold them “the Diane way”. She was a bundle of energy. We sold our house in 11 days!
Those of us who grew up in the ‘50s remember those fantastic Cecil B. DeMille, bigger-than-life movie productions like “The Ten Commandments”. Well, move over Cecil, get ready for a “Diane Beal Production”.
