Dian Bentinck

Service, knowledge, and skills are important to Dian. Since joining the real estate industry in 2002, she has made it a point to pursue advanced training and credentials. She has her broker's license and is a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS). Only 4% of all Realtors have the experience, commitment and advanced training necessary to obtain this designation. She has earned the Graduate Realtor Institute (GRI) advanced designation. To better enable her to assist clients needing to sell estate properties, she has also obtained her Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist designation.

She has a passion for sustainability, recycling, and resource conservation (energy and water efficiency). For that reason, Dian has also obtained her National Association of Realtors GREEN designation that provides additional education about energy-efficient/high performing and "green" homes. She represents highly energy-efficient homes in the sale process and was previously involved in assisting an investor to obtain "Green" home certification from the National Association of Home Builders.

For sellers, she will discuss your needs and decide what type of sales approach best suits your scenario. She will provide you with a market analysis to provide an estimated market value of your home. She offers a comprehensive marketing plan. Dian will agree with you on a price and marketing plan that meets your selling objectives. She also believes that professional marketing makes a big difference and impact in selling success. Be sure to review the professional photography and presentation on some of her listings. She works with investors, Traditional Sellers, and out of state sellers. Whatever your need is, she can help.

For buyers, Dian will listen to your needs and search for properties that match those needs. She will negotiate the best possible deal. Nothing satisfies her more than seeing the smiles that come with a successful sale or the purchase of a lifetime. She will follow the transaction every step of the way to ensure the best possible outcome. She works with investors, first time home buyers, move-up buyers, as well as clients relocating from out of state that must conduct part of their search from afar.

Thankfully, the days of distressed sales are behind us. However, she does have experience with foreclosures/ bank-owned properties short sales, etc. She also has helped clients buy properties at national auctions and 'on the steps of the county courthouse'. She has obtained the Short Sale Resource (SFR) certification as well.

While buying or selling a home can be an exhilarating and joyful experience, it may also bring on unexpected stress. Dian draws upon her knowledge, experience, intuition and good communications to help guide her clients through the business complexities and emotional aspects of the home buying and selling process, whether it is negotiating contracts, reviewing lengthy inspection reports, coordinating repairs, arranging vendors or providing strategic staging and design ideas. Throughout the process, Dian remains a passionate advocate for her clients, ensuring their satisfaction every step of the way.

Outside of Real Estate, she is interested in local business, the community, and friends. She is a large supporter of animal rescue and volunteer for a board of a Charter School. Dian also volunteers with other charitable organizations.
