Diane Rioux
Diane Rioux has no time for negativity or procrastination.
How could she when her days are filled with the people and activities that bring her the most joy. Most Sundays you can find her in the kitchen whipping up something delicious. With some French cafe music playing in the background, she may be cooking coq au vin, lobster mac and cheese, or a big pot of soup. It all depends on the season. She loves cooking for family and friends and she makes sure to allow room for everyone, especially those that might otherwise be alone.
A Maryland native and former competitive tennis player (she still plays doubles any chance she gets), Diane takes every opportunity to get outside and explore her beautiful home state. She adores Tolstoy and is drawn to shows like Downton Abbey, historical documentaries, and dream house makeovers where she gets lost in the renovation possibilities.

But what really drives Diane is working with so many people at different stages of their lives. Like solving a puzzle, she thrives on putting all the unique pieces together and figuring out the best ways she can help people hit their goals.
In school she gravitated toward the humanities and developed a passion for writing. Her glass is always half-full and her motto is keep going and stay positive. Writing a book (or two) is a goal of hers and she even has a book idea in mind — a nonfiction book about persevering in tough times. We can’t wait to read it.

Awards & Designations
I could not have had a better partner to guide me through my first home sale. Diane was kind, honest, supportive, receptive and so easy to work with. With her help and advice on pre-sale prep, staging and marketing I was able to sell at my impossible dream price - and was negotiating the contract within a week of listing! When issues arose with closing Diane handled everything promptly and with finesse, shielding me from unnecessary stress and ensuring no detail was left unattended. I can t say enough about what an overall positive experience I had with Diane helping me to navigating intimidating waters.
Great knowledge of the area. She is very responsive and works very quickly. The house I ended up purchasing, I reached out to her that morning wanting a tour, she got me in to see about 3 hours later and a few hours after that we had put the offer in. And gives great and honest advice around homes, neighborhoods. And sets proper expectations.
We are first time home buyer, Diane was the most patient, most lovely, and most honest real estate agent. We were very confused, and unsure what to buy, we did not even knew much about real estates in the U.S as new immigrants to the United States, Diane walked us through everything, She always told us about the pros and cons of every property we looked at. Even the properties that we liked, she was sure to show us its cons. We recommend working with Diane, and if we have already recommended her name to many of our friends and family.
Diane was a pleasure to work with! Personable, knows the market, very responsive to questions and concerns. Knew the best processes for a very competitive market and we decided to have her represent us on both our sale and purchase. Thank you Diane!!
Diane helped me find a townhouse to buy. She helped me evaluate whether the property was in good condition or needed any repairs as it was a competitive bidding process and I was offering no home inspection contingency. She saved me about $1400 in closing costs. I highly recommend Diane!
Diane is hands down the best realtor in Maryland. Absolutely on top of her game, she works hard so you don t have to. So nice and professional. She makes the stressful process of buying a house fun!
