Diane Means

Diane is a native of Southern California who, along with her husband Don, fell in love with Santa Ysabel, bought a piece of it in 1987, and has lived in the backcountry ever since. She is a college graduate with a BS degree, a mother to four sons (two of whom are Julian graduates), and a grandmother to four grandchildren. Married for 40 years, Diane worked in her family-owned manufacturing businesses for over 15 years doing marketing and sales after her sons graduated. She has lived in Pauma Valley and Ramona, giving her a solid knowledge of the backcountry. Diane and Don have personally bought and sold million-dollar properties, and after selling the companies, she decided to get her real estate license to apply the knowledge acquired from their personal experience. Real estate allows Diane to work around her family, which always comes first. She loves the wide-open spaces God created, working in the dirt, dogs, horses, and the backcountry neighbors who are always there to help. Golf is her sport of choice (with hiking as a close second), and she can recommend some of the best courses to play in San Diego.
