My husband and I cannot say enough positive things about our experience working with Diana to purchase our first home! Taking the jump to make such a huge purchase is incredibly daunting and the real estate process intimidating. Diana guided us through the entire journey, offering valuable pieces of info and advice at each step that we wouldn't have known otherwise. She was always happy to answer all of our (many) questions and helped make the entire process a lot more comfortable for us. Diana went above and beyond our expectations and we will absolutely be recommending her to anyone we know looking to buy or sell. Thanks again, Diana!Megan Burton 2020

 

I was so lucky to have Diana on my side when on the hunt for a new house! When looking at potential places, she would ask the most practical and logical questions, always giving me good things to think about. Structurally, she wouldn't miss a thing either, and when it came time to negotiate, I was glad I had her on my team. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor! Shelby Clark 2020

 

We blew into Victoria on November 4, 2016 looking to buy a retirement property. It was the lowest inventory of properties on record. Renting wasn't even an option. We'd sold up back east and were living in a motel with our cat. We met Diana on our first day of looking at open houses and she went to work finding us a place to live. We saw a lot of her for the next little while. We moved into our new home on December 1st. Great job. You won't find a better realtor in Victoria. Mike Nichols 2019

 

Diana was great to work with, it made my home purchase fun, relaxed and yet thorough and professional. Very hard working and great insight into the local market! Michael 2019

 

Diana was truly the best realtor we have ever used. She was up to date with her knowledge and made us feel very comfortable buying our first home in BC. Diana was professional and showed true compassion towards the little things that I was worried about along the way. She was able to address our concerns in an timely and effective way. Buying a builders home can be stressful making sure it’s done right. Thanks to Diana she communicated our concerns with both our lawyer and builder on behalf of us. She simply was amazing to work with and is considered a great friend now. I would highly recommend Diana to family and friends for her outstanding work. Thank you Diana for working so diligently for us we really appreciated everything you did for us. Brian & Elizabeth Young 2019

 

Diana goes above and beyond as a realtor and as a person. She has helped us with two moves now, and both times she has been absolutely extraordinary! She made it easy and knew exactly what we needed, our level of comfort, and never pushed us towards something that wasn't right for us. She was also amazing with our young daughter and dog. If you are looking for an honest, friendly, and professional realtor, then you can't go wrong under her wings! Eric Hansen 2019

 

Diana has been an exceptional realtor. She worked incredibly hard to help us find our dream home. She is flexible, but incredibly dedicated to her work. Cannot recommend her enough!  Kirstin Singer 2019

 

Coming from another province to the Victoria area, Diana was the perfect realtor for us. Not only does she have extensive area knowledge, she took the time to understand our needs and didn't waste our time showing us properties we would not consider. Diana was able to help refer us to local lawyers, notaries, inspectors as well as trades in the area. Every organization or person she referred was stellar. She was quick to respond to any questions we had as well as follow up with us to ensure we had everything we needed. I couldn't ask for a better realtor than Diana!! Shannon Neustaeter 2019

She always made herself available for us was very responsive to any questions we had. Diana went above and beyond as a realtor.

As a result of her efforts we are in a home that we never thought we would find in our price range. We would recommend Diana to anyone! Corie Kielbiski  2019

 

Diana is wonderful! We have used her twice and I know that she worked hard in our best interest. I am 100% confident without her knowledge and skill we would have not been the successful bidder on our current property. I recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor. Kim Simmons 2019

Diana was one of the most thorough and professional realtors we have had the pleasure to work with. She literally left no stone unturned. From calling a strata council (tracking down members that were out of the country), to phoning owners of previously listed homes, to taking the time to educate us on the actual value of different properties, she made sure we got the very best home for our money. Val & Jerry

 

Diana is a very experienced and knowledgable realtor who knows exactly what she is doing. She is very responsive and on top of matters. Very on the ball. - Bernadette

 

Diana became our realtor 10 years ago. She has helped us with two important purchases and we may ask her again in the future...Diana is a good realtor; she is always well prepared and well organized, knows the market in Victoria and understands what makes a house a good house. What makes her an excellent realtor is that she lets her clients figure out which property is the most suitable for them. She is patient, understanding, encouraging and offers artfully discreet guidance. Thank you Diana, we would not have been able to do it (again) without you! Kate & Csaba

 

Diana was an amazing realtor. She was always well prepared and knew her stuff, possessing a really firm understanding of the market and its ever changing conditions. She provided a wealth of knowledge in assisting with the sale of our home. She was always open and available to speak with us at virtually any hour, and very responsive to questions and concerns. Most of all she is genuinely a wonderful human being who is passionate about her work, her community, and the planet itself. This translates into someone you know you can trust to do the best possible job she can for you. It also means that we now consider Diana a friend. So great to get to know her and so thankful we chose her to represent us in the sale of our home! - Simon & Marni Springer

You're the hardest working REALTOR I know! - Geoff Phipps

 

We have been impressed with Diana from our first interaction. Diana is knowledgeable and she took a genuine interest in our needs. She was so responsive and pointed things out that we would have never picked up or thought of. She took me around the neighborhoods, schools and even showed me places of interest. Diana was well prepared every time we met and was able to quickly understand what we were looking for. We had to act quickly on the house we liked and Diana took care of everything and guided us through until the sale was completed. I can honestly say, if it was not for Diana we would not have been able to buy our dream home. Leonie Mulholland

 

In a very tough sellers market Diana managed to sell our condo for our asking price even though every other realtor we spoke to told us it was not happening. Very impressed!! Works really hard. - Caitlyn Redford

 

I found Diana Winger to be energetic, enthusiastic and dedicated to making sure I received the best price for my condo. It sold in 2 days for over asking price. She also worked hard to negotiate a good price on my new condominium for under asking price! With all the busyness of moving,  she was great at keeping me on track for all the next steps required. I had originally planned to try to sell my place on my own, so I could save money.  She convinced me to give her a chance and I'm so glad I did!  I would have accepted a far lower offer. Her welcome basket and rebate cheque were also very appreciated! I would highly recommend Diana Winger to anyone looking to buy or sell, or both!  Cindy Tibbits 

 

It was a real pleasure working with Diana! This was our first time looking to buy, and also new to this area and she was exactly who we were looking for. Buying a home is often very stressful; however, she was always one step ahead of the game and ready to drop everything to help us find our nest. Diana is extremely knowledgable and well prepared, but most importantly she was very honest with us, which is what we like to see in a Relator. It was our good fortune to work with this wonderful woman! Wade Boettcher 

 

Diana is a very professional agent that helped me to find what I "really" needed and in this "2017 crazy Real Estate Market" she really achieved an awesome result. I met her the first time before Christmas 2016 and more than a Real Estate Agent she became almost a "friend", taking care of me and my family. I would recommend Diana to people looking to buy the property where they need to live. Thank you Diana. Antonio

 

We would like to thank Diana for a job well done for selling our home. Within 10 days of listing, we had a sold sign up and received our asking price! Her excellent service, frequent communication, professionalism and dependability, made the sale process so much easier for us. We were very pleased that every phone call to answer our questions or calm our concerns was returned so quickly. Her attention to detail as well as her knowledge of the current market assisted us in understanding what people in this area were looking for in a home. Diana went above and beyond and we would certainly recommend her services to anyone that is looking to buy or sell a home! Ray & Erin Brooks

 

Diana was our agent 5 years ago when we bought condo and we hired her again to sale condo this Year. - Tatjana Budimcic

 

I first met realtor Diana Winger when I attended an open house in another unit in my condominium building and was impressed by her. When it came time to sell my own condo, a year or so later, I remembered the conversation and asked Diana if she would consider working with a second realtor whose services I had used before. I appreciated the fact that they both leveled with me, proposed an asking-price lower than one I had imagined but which would draw potential buyers and make my unit more attractive than others in that segment of the market, and eventually sold the unit for me for above that asking-price. That straightforward determination to create action and a sale, along with her friendly personality, make me very glad I turned to Diana Winger to sell my unit. Chris Thomas

 

We got to know Diana November, 2014. She was professional and knowledgeable. On the property of our interest, she provided detailed information on the property, a thorough analysis of the market and an informative comparative listings in the neighbourhood, all of which helped us make the decision. Throughout the dealings, we were impressed with her, her her dedication and her willingness to work together. Even months after the purchase, she did not hesitate to assist us when our neighbour raised issues. Our experiences with here was a delight. We would recommend her to any potential buyer with the highest confidence and trust. Max Fang

 

I hired Diana to sell my home. I tried to sell it previously with a different realtor & company, but was unsuccessful. Working with Diana was amazing. She went above the call of duty to help sell my house, guiding me every step of the way. She advertised the house well, and ran quite a number of open houses, both for local agents and buyers. She is timely, efficient, and appropriate in her dealings with offers and shepherded me through the closing process in the same manner. You can tell she has a lot of experience in this field as she handled every situation with ease. I would highly recommend Diana to other sellers, and buyers as well. Jo Cambly

 

I found Diana courteous, professional and hardworking in all aspects of buying and selling my homes. Thanks Diana. Tim Waddell

 

We found Diana to be very conscientious as she helped us with the sale of our houses, making sure we understood the terms in the contract. Betty and Irwin Cunningham

 

Diana helped me work through the challenge of purchasing a home in Victoria. She was always professional, with an excellent knowledge of the market, yet warm and personable which made it easy to communicate. She was ready to assist when I needed help, but never pressured me to make a decision. It was a pleasure working with her and I would choose her again in the future. I highly recommend her as the No. 1 agent for any real estate transaction. Marlene Laszlo

 

Diana has more than met my needs she is very patient, knowledgeable about the market, very thorough and does alot of additional background work to provide important details on listings  I was interested in.  I felt very comfortable with her and her expertise in taking good pictures and spending alot of time with strata details.  She is persistent but not pushy and is very accommodating to arrange showings and answering calls and emails.  My experience with Diana as selling and buying agent was very positive and I would gladly use her service again. Karen Cameron

 

When the house was sold, we had our first open house the day of ( or day after) the for sale sign went up and there was 3 offers that day and we wound up getting more than the asking price. I was impressed and very satisfied with the way it all went. Paul Brule

 

Working with Diana Winger was the difference I needed in selling my condo.  She always made me feel as though my property was her priority and stayed committed to getting me the best return possible on my investment until the end.  For me her positive attitude, persistence, and knowledge of the real estate market was vital in making me feel like I had made the right choice to sell my home.  Beyond her strong work ethic, her compassionate ethic towards animals made me feel like I was interacting with more than just a real estate agent, but a good person and friend. Thank you!  Jordan Reichert

 

Diana is a very thorough professional who approaches her work with great honesty and integrity. She works hard to understand all your needs and concerns but above all you can trust her grasp of the marketplace. Cheers, Ken W

 

Dee sold my house in 2012, she was efficient and dedicated to the job, and easy to work with.  She did a great job sellimg my house at a time when it was hard to sell homes in Victoria. Rebecca Van Sciver

 

We met Diana in 2009, when we made the decision to relocate from Edmonton to Victoria. We contacted her to help us with finding an appropriate house. Since the beginning of our relation, Diana was always very helpful and very professional, providing us with very good advice. She sent us all the available listings meeting our criteria and made few appointments for us to fly from Edmonton for viewing the properties. At the end of 2009, we made the decision on a property we still love and moved to Central Saanich in early 2010. We would recommend Diana with no hesitation. Sanda and Dan

 

Diana is one of a rare breed, she is understanding, honest and amazingly supportive! We owe her so much for taking the time with us and giving us great advice which helped us sell, then find our dream home. Best realtor I have ever met or worked with and would strongly recommend her services to anyone! Thank you again for everything - we are so truly happy here!! What you did for us was amazing! Xo Heidi

 

Recently we moved from Alberta out to Victoria and we are very grateful to have found Diana Winger as our realtor. Diana was professional, understanding of our needs, patient, and simply a pleasure to work with. She was honest and always available to help us out with our house purchase, and in fact even helped us out with our move including a lovely house warming gift!!!!!  Darwin and Merelee

 

Thanks so much for the amazing amount of work you put into this. Well beyond the call of duty! Maria and Alan

 

Diana was honest, thorough, hard working, and fun. We really enjoyed our experience with her and would highly recommend her to anyone wishing to buy or sell a home in Victoria. We would definitely use her again in the future. Carson and Merrin

 

I enjoyed working with Diana, she is a hard working agent who sold my home efficiently and I recommended her to my family. Diana had a vision for a successful completion of my sale and her focus and determination never waverd. Clients are fortunate to have her as their representative. Diana made it happen! You can count on Diana.  Norma McColeman

 

You appreciate the value of your real estate representative when you are faced with challenges. Diana maneuvered us through the process securing the new location and needless to say we have utilized Diana in dealing with other properties and expect to do so again if the opportunity presents itself. Rita & Ron

 

Diana is a knowledgable realtor with integrity and a real desire to find you the home you want/need...above all Diana is extremely patient with her clients and their goals....I have no hesitation in recommending Diana to anyone as I am a happy condo owner thanks to Diana.. Heather Caldwell

 

I met Diana at an open house she was hosting and decided to have her list my home and help me find a new one. Right from the start of the process Diana has been a stellar agent! Her knowledge of the market and especially the technical side of all things—web, computer, graphics, photography, etc. is nothing short of brilliant. I have dealt with two previous agents before but Diana has been the quickest to respond to emails and phone call—she always has an immediate reply. Diana's attention to each detail, along with her integrity plus wanting to ensure the client is comfortable throughout the process, demonstrates her high professional character. As a result of Diana's astute marketing ability my home sale and new purchase took place quickly. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending Diana—she is a gem. Plus she answers emails immediately - what a bonus that is for clients !! Gloria

 

I would highly recommend Diana Winger as a real estate agent. I had been looking for a place on and off for about three years. It was not until I met Diana at an open house that I decided to have her represent me, after being quiet frustrated in my search. I was very grateful for her professionalism, hard work, but more than anything, her gift of really hearing her clients and meeting their needs. I love the place I bought in Saanichton and it's exactly what I had been looking for! She is passionate about her work and truly feels it is her calling to bring buyers together with a home that they'll love. Louise

 

I wanted to express my gratitude to Diana Winger for selling our home in Victoria. After using two other real estate agents with no success, we were fortunate enough to find Diana. I knew at once after reading Diana’s newsletter that she would be the one to sell our property. She worked diligently and actively to sell the property and kept us informed every step of the way. My only wish would have been to have found Diana sooner. I can’t recommend her enough and will be using her again in the future. Burt

 

Diana made my home purchase in Victoria a breeze. She knew the market, understood my housing needs and looked after all the details. On top of that she is a warm and personable individual and a great communicator. I highly recommend Diana Winger. John

 

I was referred to Diana Winger for my real estate transaction and was thrilled with the service I received. I used Diana’s services to assist me in the purchase of my current home in September 2008. Diana led the transaction completely. I was impressed with her ability to listen to my desires and limitations and find a property which met my requirements. Diana was extremely professional in all of our dealings, discussing details of properties in a way which made me proud to have her working on my side. Her ambition and determination lead me to this house I call home. Her ability to communicate is outstanding. She is excellent at coaching you through the negotiation process and assisted greatly in achieving the deal I desired. She is extremely patient and was very diligent in keeping me abreast of properties as they came on the market. I was particularly impressed with the amount of preparation Diana would put into preparing information for me. Her strong analytical background was not only valuable in discussing pricing specifics, but in providing reason to the emotions which come in making a purchase of this size. Expect Diana Winger’s service to be outstanding. She is an excellent agent to assist you in buying or selling property. Her simple passion for the business and drive for success will ensure your satisfaction in your next real estate transaction. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have further questions – I would be happy to serve as a reference for Diana. Wishing you the best of success, Jeremy
