A little about me

Diane began her real estate career more than 30 years ago in Florida before making Bryson City her home over two decades ago. Today, she is a trusted listing specialist in Western North Carolina’s Smoky Mountain and Lake markets, consistently ranking among the top 10% of her peers. 


Seven years ago, Diane created Good Life Real Estate Co to ensure her clients received the elevated marketing and attentive, boutique-style service she believes every client deserves. That commitment to thoughtful representation continues to shape her and her team’s approach today.


As a broker with Real Brokerage, LLC, Diane lives by the values of Work Hard, Be Kind — bringing both diligence and integrity to every client relationship. She understands selling a home is more than a transaction; it’s a strategic and often emotional decision that deserves careful positioning, clear communication, and steady guidance.


With deep local knowledge and decades of experience, she carefully evaluates market timing, buyer demand, and property positioning to protect her clients’ equity and maximize return.


Diane is committed to delivering strong results while orchestrating a seamless, well-managed process that leaves her clients feeling confident, informed, and expertly represented. Top Agent Magazine
