Hi — I’m Diane Stopka, a dedicated real estate professional serving buyers and sellers across Manatee County,Lakewood Ranch,Sarasota and all surrounding cities. I’m passionate about helping people make confident, informed decisions and guiding them through the entire process — from the first conversation to closing day. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, relocating, upsizing, downsizing, or investing, I treat every transaction with integrity, care, and a strategic approach tailored to your goals.
My approach combines local market expertise, strong negotiation skills, and modern marketing techniques to deliver results. I leverage professional photography, targeted online advertising, and a robust network of industry partners to maximize exposure for sellers. For buyers, I provide focused market research, timely communication, and persistent advocacy to help you secure the right home at the best possible terms.
Clients appreciate my attention to detail, responsiveness, and commitment to making the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. I’m proud to build lasting relationships — many of my clients come from referrals and repeat business. Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our friends on the boat or doing home projects, and i also enjoy attending local networking events which keeps me connected to the community I serve.
