TESTIMONIALS

Ashland, MA, Buyer, Coner & Katie

Diane was wonderful to work with. As first-time home buyers she made the process very straightforward from the initial introduction meeting to closing. Even in a very competitive market we always felt we could move at our own pace. We would definitely recommend her for your real estate needs.

Natick, MA, Seller, May and Ed

Diane was extremely professional, easy to work with, attentive, supportive throughout the entire process, flexible, provided great feedback on what we can do to make the house more sellable and how to best stage it. She utilized a professional team to photograph the house and produce a virtual tour. We highly recommend Diane, and would use her again in the future.

Marlborough, MA, Buyer, Brian & Sarah

My fiancée and I were first-time home buyers looking for a house during the crazy mid Covid home buying rush. Diane was always accessible, responsive, and quick to set up appointments and showings on a moment’s notice making sure we were seeing houses as soon as they became available. We ended up making multiple offers on homes and Diane was always on the ball making sure we were informed and ready to make competitive offers while still making sure we didn’t venture outside of the range of the comps. We ended up purchasing a home in Dec 2020 being sold by owner. Diane even offered to help the seller provide comps to ensure the appraisal was completed accurately and on time. It was an absolute pleasure working with Diane, she truly wanted us to find our forever home! She and kept us informed of all the necessary steps through the process and ensured we were connected with the right people who do good work. Thank you, Diane!!

Natick and Medfield, MA, Buyer and Seller, Charles & Fiona

Diane Stone was a fantastic realtor to work with. This was the second time we had worked with her, this time selling the property she helped us purchase, and secure a new property. Both sides of the process were not trivial, especially with two young children 3 and under.
Diane made every step seamless and easy. Throughout every single stage I found her sharp, meticulous and observant, filling in any gaps in the process. I strongly believe that her advice and guidance on listing our home maximized its potential. Not only was her deep knowledge of both realty and the area continuously useful, but she made this entire process feel way easier.
Your realtor matters, and as always, I would HIGHLY recommend Diane Stone for your buying and selling needs!

Shrewsbury, MA, Buyer, Joe & Stephanie

Diane helped us in our home buying search and could not have been more patient, insightful and just fun to work with! We were first-time home buyers, so she took time to provide details on what to expect during the process and when it came time to write an offer, made it as easy as possible. We were new to the area and have our realtor for life now.

Shrewsbury, MA, Buyer, Emily & Logan

We first met Diane when we visited an open house and immediately knew she was our person. As first-time home buyers, the process can be daunting, but Diane was patient and made it fun. She sat down and walked us through every step. She was our sounding board when we thought we loved places, but she knew better. We ended up with the home of our dreams thanks to Diane. She exceeded our expectations and we can't recommend her enough! You won't regret it

Braintree and Jamaica Plain, MA, Buyer and Seller, Patrick & Nicole

Diane was fantastic. Due to my wife’s accessibility needs our options were more limited. She always went the extra mile, whether it was bringing measuring tape to see if the wheelchair would fit through doorways to brainstorming workarounds to any issues we foresaw. Diane was incredibly responsive and then when it came time to sell we received two bids just above ask. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Andover, MA, Buyer, Courtney & Russ

The process of buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will make in a lifetime. For my husband and I, the process was a bit scary because we considered ourselves to be real estate novices. Diane took valuable time to explain the entire process – beginning to end – to us during our first meeting. That first meeting was a huge relieve, not only because she took time to walk us through what to expect, but because every single thing she said was 100% accurate. We were fully prepared and at the time, we didn’t know it, but as the weeks progressed, we soon came to learn and appreciate Diane’s expertise even more that we could have ever imagined. Diane’s attention to detail is unmatched. She was responsive throughout the entire process and works so very hard to make sure we were comfortable and informed as we made offers and eventually closed on our dream home. Even once we closed, Diane had our best interests in mind. She made sure that we knew what to do to be added to trash route and update voter registration, for example. It’s these little things, this attention to detail that we experienced working with Diane throughout the process and ultimately what we attribute to being settled in our community so quickly. You know you’ve worked with the best when you mention “our realtor told us to do that” ad the immediate response time and time again is – “you had a great realtor!” We did indeed and we can’t recommend her services enough!

Natick, MA, Seller, Sheila

A couple of years ago I was beginning to think about selling my home and downsizing to a condo/townhouse. I met Diane Stone at an Open House in Natick. My immediate impression was that she was warm and friendly, interested but not pushy. I explained that I was just beginning my process and not ready to put my house on market nor purchase a new home. She still seemed interested in sharing info with me, and she spent a day showing me some townhouses in a couple of surrounding towns. As a courtesy, she also did a market analysis on my home. During the next year I received emails from her periodically. I never had that
feeling of "ugh, that realtor is calling again", which I know happens. I appreciated Diane's professionalism, courtesy, and sense of appreciating my timeframe and needs. When I was ready to move forward there was no doubt that I would work with her. Working with Diane from the time we reconnected to the closing was delightful. We worked very well together. She did a thorough market analysis and walked me through decision making process. She showed sensitivity to my concerns, timeframe, and interest in making the process run smoothly. She provided thorough information, kept on top of things, helped guide me through a couple of decisions without pressuring me in any direction, and was supportive to me during the whole
process. I highly recommend her.

Hopedale and Framingham, MA, Buyer and Seller, Matt

I’ve worked with Diane now on three occasions and she has always been such a great resource and made the buying and selling process seamless. She has great knowledge of the industry, her level of service is impeccable, and commitment to her clients is ever present. I highly recommend Diane and will continue to work with her in the future when buying or selling a property.

Grafton, MA, Buyer, Surinder & Anita

To whomever it may concern, Diane Stone as our realtor listened well, as attentive to our needs and strives to understand our likes and dislikes. We didn’t feel rushed, not were her opinions about each home we viewed anything less than 100% sincere. We found Diane to know the area very well, to know the inventory available, she researched the back story on properties which was very helpful, and she kept up with inventory that came onto the market that might interest us. Her thorough research on comparative study of all nearby towns we were looking at came in handy in decision making. When we found the right home for our family, Diane helped us close the deal, negotiate favorable terms, and was there to assist us until we had the keys in our hand! In short, Diane is a very likable and friendly person, she’s easy to work with, and we wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again in the future. And as well, recommend her to our friends and family.

Natick, MA, Seller, Wendy & Joel

We were selling my late Mother-in Law’s home and don’t live in state. Not only did Diane quickly put the home on the market, her strategy brought about one half dozen offers within the first week the house was on the market. Following her advice we ended up selling the house for a price far I excess of what we believed to be its market value. We interviewed a number competing agents, it was clear to us that she had the best understanding of the market and was the most creative individual we had met. Without our having to ask, Diane helped us to manage the house and resolve a number of problems, saving us the need to drive from out of state. She even volunteered to pack up a number of small items left I the house the day of closing and ship them to us. One evening she decided to go out of her way and drive by the house to check on it. She called to let us know that one of the lights we had been leaving on was not functioning. She asked if we wanted her to go into the house and check on the problem. Diane went back to the house and brought a new light bulb to replace the one that had burned out. To say she went beyond the usual role of a real estate sales person is a major understatement. In addition, as I have mentioned, she was able to obtain an excellent signed offer in under ten days. Without any reservation, if I ever have a need for a real estate sales person in her sales area, she will be my agent.

Natick, MA, Seller, Martha & Rob

Diane is great to work with! It was a big decision to put our home of 17 years on the market, and Diane made herself available to talk through our questions and concerns. She provided insights and information so that we better understood the various steps involved, without making us feel overwhelmed or pressured. She is market savvy ad strategic in her thinking, while clearly understanding the emotional as well as financial components of a home sale. Diane was super at following up and always kept our interests at the center of her efforts.

Sherborn, MA, Buyer, April & Ross

Diane was great! She has so much patience and a terrific sense of humor. She went above and beyond to help us, and made herself available whenever we needed her. Highly recommend!

Maynard, MA, Buyer, Jess & Josh

Diane stuck with us through our very long house hunting process and was cheerful, patient and encouraging the whole time. She was also resourceful and helpful, giving us information about prospective towns/areas and helping us find people to come out to the house for a second opinion and estimate on issues found during inspection. She worked hard to make sure that everything ran smoothly between all the people involved in the transaction. We are very grateful to Diane for all of her help throughout this process and we'd be happy to work with her again.

Leominster, MA, Buyer, Dan & Christine

We could not have had a better experience, or completed the dream of being home owners come true, without Diane stone. Her performance was above and beyond our expectations. She is an irreplaceable asset to Century 21 Commonwealth. Thank you, Diane for everything.

Natick, MA, Buyer, Sarah & Jon

We opted to work with Diane Stone because we got along with her at an open house. She was frank and honest about the market, promised to send us information about the area, and then helped us pull together an offer over the course of 2 days on a different house. She's good, even for people who are more of the introverted type. Diane is easy to chat with, to joke with, and did an excellent job of showing us houses we liked and ones she thought we would like. During the course of the home buying process, we saw how well Diane works with other realtors as well as sellers, keeping everything professional, yet moving forward. We highly recommend Diane because she is knowledgeable, attentive, will go out of her way to help out, and just fun to be around!

Framingham, MA, Buyer, Stella & Joe

Diane was very professional and a joy to work with, due to our limited knowledge on the housing market, she provided key input throughout our process; Diane made it simple. In a short time, she was able to help us find our perfect home even after numerous open houses & offers in a very difficult market. She was there for every step of the way, from our initial meeting to our closing. We would highly recommend Diane.

Ashland, MA, Buyer, Paul

My experience with Diane was wonderful. She understood my needs and was able to provide direction and guidance to the properties that best suited my needs. She was patient and helpful as I explored alternative properties before settling on my final choice. I would recommend Diane to anyone looking into real estate options. She is a true professional that can help you through the process.

Framingham, MA, Buyer Jing & Hao

She is a trustworthy person. She spent a lot of time with us and has always been patient and resourceful. I will definitely recommend her to our friends and come back to her the next time we have such needs.

Natick, MA, Buyer Charles and Fiona

As first-time home buyers, we were looking for someone who would understand us, as well as help us navigate the tricky Massachusetts real estate waters. Diane is really the best of both worlds: knowledgeable and relational! We first met her at an open house she was hosting, and she was hands down the most knowledgeable real estate agent we have met in Natick! She understood our situation immediately (my wife and I are expecting). She asked all the right questions, gave us some very thoughtful advice and helped us understand what the process would look like. We had met with other real estate agents but after meeting with her it was a clear decision!

She was more than easy to work with - she makes the whole process easier. She was encouraging, but not pushy. She had very helpful opinion for each house, but it was enough to help us make wise decisions without being overbearing. Overall, we really felt like Diane was acting in the best interest of us; We would recommend her in a heartbeat to anybody looking in the Natick area!

Natick, MA, Buyer, Lisa

Diane always had what my needs were for a house in mind. She also would point things out for me to keep in mind that I hadn't thought of. She was very helpful in the process and was patient with me in finding my perfect home.
