When I decided to sell my home in Winnetka Heights — while living 2,500 miles away in Washington state — I knew exactly who to call. I’ve known Diane Sherman for more than a decade, and I had no doubt she was the only person I’d trust to handle it. Diane’s experience with historic homes came through in every decision and recommendation. She has an incredible network of resources for everything related to selling a home, from improvements to finishing touches. And the staging? Impeccable. Every last detail was thoughtfully executed to make the house shine. The process of selling my home couldn’t have gone smoother. Diane and her team made the entire experience feel effortless. They handled everything, from prep to closing, with professionalism, warmth, and total dedication. Diane was always available, day or night, even across time zones — there for every question, update, and reassurance before, during, and after the sale. She also brought her strong negotiation skills to the table, making sure we not only got multiple offers, but that we landed the best possible deal. The result? My home went under contract in five days and we closed in 11 days. If you’re looking to sell your home, I can’t recommend Diane and her team highly enough. I feel so lucky she was on my side!

Our neighbor referred Diane Sherman and her team to us and we couldn’t be more grateful. Diane has been ready to answer any questions or concerns we had. Her professional attention to everything every step of the way is so appreciated. They made the whole process very easy. We will also highly recommend her as well.

I have been in the Real Estate business for many years. It has been a long time since I have worked with someone as competent and experienced as Diane Sherman. She is very smart, efficient ...and one heck of a negotiator! I am grateful for having her knowledge on my side! She had a contract on my house in 5 days, and closed 6 days later! She is deserving of many accolades and all your Real Estate business!

Hard to put into words how good an experience it was selling a home with Diane Sherman on my side, but I'll try... From the very first meeting I knew we had hit a home run. What an incredible force of nature with such a genuinely-kind spirit! I was initially worried about the state of the home but she was very reassuring and even pointed me in the direction of handymen who could assist me with the various projects I needed to finish. It was apparent that these handymen had such a deep respect for "Ms. Diane" and that transferred over to the level of care they took when working on my home. Her knowledge of the Winnetka Heights area is second to none - seriously, I don't say that lightly... She remembered our home from when it was on sale years before and this knowledge was helpful because when we couldn't find the paint for the inside trim, she called on the previous owners (seriously) to see if they could remember. She fought for us in our negotiations and even sent follow-up texts about our old home and neighborhood well after we moved out. This home was incredibly special to us and I'll be forever grateful that we had Diane to help us pass it along to its next caretakers. You will NOT regret working with Diane.

We chose Diane Sherman because of her long familiarity and knowledge of Oak Cliff and her expertise and experience with older homes. We nailed it. She worked relentlessly to do what was best for our home and neighborhood, and exhibited kind patience and tolerance with us. Her integrity and grace never faltered. You will be happy with her and her crew if you hire her.

Choosing Diane Sherman as the realtor to sell our home was a no-brainer, as we had worked with her before and have known her a very long time. Diane is committed to the neighborhood and found us an excellent buyer at a good price. We were satisfied on all counts. A few points: 1. Diane has lived in in Winnetka Heights for many years and grew up in the area. She knows a lot of people who have lived here, are living here, and would like to live here. Her experience in this area is unmatched. Additionally, she is on the Landmark (Historic Preservation) Board. For anyone interested in Historic Houses in North Oak Cliff, she is a font of information and has helped many people over the years. (Her efforts have been integral to the success of the Historic District). 2. This deep understanding of the area translated in our case to : A. Revision of the age of our house - documentation was found that proved the house was much older than city records stated. B. Revision of square feet - the earlier drawing was incorrect - $$$! C. Incredible direction and help in getting the house ready for market. Diane knows exactly what needs to be done and the best tradesmen to do it; mostly they deeply want to keep her happy and/or are old dear friends. We were not overcharged; in several cases I think we were charged less because of her. Certainly we got prompt attention, another huge plus when readying a house for market. 3. Part of having Diane and her son and daughter-in-law representing the property was that they do their own staging, and this is part of her service (gratis). We heard a lot about how great the house looked. Coordination between them was seamless. Communication was perfect for anxious sellers; not too much, not too little. Diane was responsive and understood the sometimes tricky emotional waters selling a primary residence entails. The buyers that emerged were easy to deal with and quite motivated, and the remote closing went like clockwork. Everything was double checked and confirmed beforehand. Overall, we were very pleased and heartily recommend Diane and Vinnie Sherman, for buying or selling your house.

YES! a 5 star experience for sure!

I put my Winnetka Heights home on the market during a period of high personal stress. I was travelling for work, had recently gotten married, was caring for a gravely ill friend, was living in Denton, and had family pressures. Needless to say, I was totally overwhelmed. Diane made selling my home manageable. Her contacts painted, repaired, landscaped, and cleaned my home so that it sold for the best price. Diane and Vinnie went above and beyond and dealt with some really unusual circumstances (dead animal in the wall before a showing, lost keys, absentee owner) with humor, creativity, and professionalism. I simply could not have sold my home without their hard work, guidance, and friendship. I am grateful to Diane and Vinnie and am proud to call them friends.

Deciding to sell our beloved home, we knew we needed to entrust it in the hands of someone who fully understood the market as well as someone who shared our passion for historic homes. Having both an intimate knowledge of the neighborhood and expertise in historic preservation, Diane was our immediate choice. Throughout the process, Diane offered unique strategies that met both our financial and personal expectations. Diane's thoughtful approach resulted in additional, unexpected, marketing of our home, a much-need quick close, and reassurances that we had made the right choice in entrusting the sale of our home in her hands. Further, and maybe most importantly, her calm and professional demeanor always served to take the "edge" off when things started to feel overwhelming. Our experience with Diane was beyond excellent!

Diane was all you’d want in a realtor. When we sold our home of 20+ years, she spent hours helping us get ready for the sale, doing everything from helping us pick fresh paint colors to giving our bookshelves a whole new look. While our house was on the market she offered regular encouragement—never disappearing—and sage advice. That Diane has extensive experience in Dallas real estate is clear to see just from her resume. But getting all that knowledge from someone who’s fun to be around is the best.
