DIANA WALKER
About Me I’ve been selling real estate in the Glendale area since 1988. I attained my Graduate Realtors Institute and Certified Residential Specialist in 1989 - an accomplishment that only 1% of the agents in the United States achieve. I was awarded Glendale’s Best Realtor® in 2001 and 2002 by readers of the Los Angeles Times, News Press. I was named REALTOR® of the year for 2012 by the Glendale Association of REALTORS® and 2012 Entrepreneur of the Year by the Women’s Council of REALTORS®. My success emanates from a simple business philosophy: I don’t just sell homes; my goal is to make lifetime relationships with my clients. I do this by listening closely to the needs of my buyers and sellers and working honestly and ethically to close deals smoothly and expeditiously. Noted for working well with other agents, I am a master at negotiating transactions to put deals together on behalf of my clients. Buying or selling a home can be a complicated process. You need a Realtor® who is knowledgeable, aggressive and who will put your best interest first. Real estate has been my passion since 1988. Nothing equals the satisfaction of handing keys to an excited buyer or installing a SOLD sign on a happy seller’s yard sign. I’m honored to say that 75% of my business comes from repeat clients. My clients trust me because they know I have mastered the most important real estate basics: •
Putting the client first
•
Tenacious negotiating
•
Integrity
•
Treating clients with respect
Whether you are a first time home buyer or an experienced homeowner, let me put my experience to work for you
DIANAWALKER I’ll walk the extra mile for you!

Testimonials Diana Walker made the process of buying a house as easy and painless as possible. Not only did she show us houses with unflagging enthusiasm, but when we selected one, she made the transaction function more smoothly than I could have dreamed. She’s great at the details AND the bigger picture. She’s a tireless professional who gets the job done. - Claudia P We wanted to buy a house in Glenoaks Canyon and Diana, with her local knowledge and expertise, helped us buy the home we had set our hopes upon. The transaction went very smoothly and as first time buyers in the United States we felt we were in very good hands. - Marianne T and John H When we decided to sell our home in Eagle Rock, we contacted an agent who had quite a good reputation for buying and selling homes in our area. She met us and looked over our home, but seemed to lack enthusiasm for either our property or selling or both. A friend recommended Diana Walker to us and are we ever glad he did! Diana met with us and her knowledge and dynamics were a welcome contrast to that of the first Realtor we met with. Not only did she demonstrate great real estate skill, but Diana listened to what we wanted and needed in the selling of our former home and the buying of our new one. Diana sold our home for more than our asking price. Not only that, she managed to get us into our new home even though our offer to the seller was less than other offers the seller had entertained. Diana Walker is the consummate real estate professional, but more than that, she took the time to develop a relationship with us. Instead of merely selling one house and buying another, Diana helped us move into a new home. We cannot recommend Diana Walker highly enough. - Mary and Tim O We highly recommend Diana Walker as a real estate agent. She sold our first home within a day in 2003, and when the market slowed down a bit in 2006, she was still able to sell our subsequent home for top price within weeks. Diana is thoroughly professional, responsive, efficient, and truly looks out for her client’s interests. If we ever find ourselves selling our house in the future, there is no question that we will go with Diana again. She is a gem, and we feel lucky to have her as a resource. - Jim and Peggy S If you’ve chosen Diana to find your dream house or to sell our house, you’ve chosen wisely. She really knows her real estate stuff from years of experience and education beyond what is typical for a real estate agent. I found her through a long-time friend and from our first conversation I knew I’d found the right agent. Besides her expertise, what I’ve valued even higher are her listening skills, her prompt follow-through on whatever she promised me, her kindness, her advice, her support, her pride in representing her clients. Trust me, you have one of the best professionals in the real estate biz, or any biz, for that matter. - Sherry S You are by far the most talented and professional agent we have ever met. I have worked with a number of agents before, and bought and sold several properties over the years, I’ve never met anyone like you. Between the pictures, the floor plans, the stager, and your incredible patient, understanding, and humble attitude, you are in a class all your own. You could write a book about how to do what you do, and I would be first in line to buy it. I would only suggest you retire before you write it, because right now you have no competition. Simply incredible, and we are very grateful. - John and Tanya S
