Diane was invaluable in our home buying process, we had not purchased a home in over 20 years and she expertly guided us through the process from selecting homes to tour, negotiating our offer to organizing our closing. She was available whenever we had questions and always responded to our emails and calls promptly. She helped us coordinate a handyman, a termite company and cleaning service as we closed & gave us a wonderful basket of necessities so we didnt have to run to the store immediately, she really thought of everything. On top of all of her professional expertise, shes a really

The friendly, courteous and efficient service that our family received from Diane Cannons Real Estate office was superb! From the first encounter, during the streamlined process and even after closing the deal, the personal touch by everybody involved in the organization was always on full display. We have no reservation in recommending the service received and will most certainly be using their services again

Diane Cannon and her Team are the best it gets! They know the market inside and out and provide top notch service every step of the way! Diane is especially responsive (i.e. late night or early morning email/texts) and truly cares about each and every client as if they were her best friend. She is a shrewd negotiator and gets her clients what they want. I could not imagine ever working with anyone else whether buying a home or selling. I highly recommend Diane Cannon.

Diane Cannon, thank you for the excellent service you have provided to me over the years. You not only hustle/work hard on all the details but I especially appreciate your wise counsel. You have that sixth sense of understating pricing/value and how to negotiate. I could not imagine a better agent. Thank you

Searching for the perfect home in Laguna Beach is a little like the wild west. If you're not a native of Laguna and working with a local Realtor, figuring out the right home and location can be palest for your wallet and happiness. Fortunately, I met Ken Hanzlik and Diane Cannon, and over several weeks they patiently guided me as I explored all the neighborhoods. These are two knowable, honest and resilience professionals. I now love my new house and ended up in a great neighborhood. No need to look any further for an agent. Just give them a call.
