Diane Yochelson

Diane learned about the importance of providing excellent customer service at the age of twelve while working in her dad’s store in Upstate New York. She watched how he interacted with customers, listening, and responding to their needs. Those early experiences shaped her professional life.

Diane settled in the Washington, DC area after graduate school and spent four years on the US Senate Committee on Small Business and Senate Human Resources Committee. Her focus was listening and being responsive to constituent issues including legislative matters.

When a change in Senate rules reshuffled staff, she explored the field of commercial real estate. Assisting both property owners and tenants fit her to a tee. She earned a Rookie of the Year award and was consistently a top producer in DC’s fast-growing downtown for 15 years. Diane’s clients identified her top traits as being trustworthy, effective, and knowledgeable. She advised The World Bank, Goldman Sachs, The Aspen Institute, and numerous law firms.

A business relocation across the country taught Diane the invaluable role a real estate agent play. The move would have been chaos without the agent’s guidance. Having her input on the market, schools, commute, and much more made all the difference.

Diane applies to her real estate, the skills she has acquired as a certified professional coach. Listening to her clients, helping them clarify exactly what their needs are, identifying the potential obstacles that must be addressed, and communicating about what it takes to make the transaction a success. From conception to completion, she is there to help guide them every step of the way.
