" Buying our first house with Diane was a great experience. This was actually our second interaction (she previously helped someone in our family purchase their house a couple of years ago), so this was not a surprise. Buying our first home was intimidating, but Diane was calm and reassuring throughout the entire process. She was always accommodating to our busy work schedules and offered to meet us at any time that was convenient for us. We thought we knew what we wanted, but (of course) this changed a little along the way and Diane was incredibly patient with us. She was very responsive (text, email, or phone) anytime we had questions and asked to obtain the disclosures to all of the properties we were interested in. Before we started looking at properties, Diane had a meeting with us to figure out what we were looking for, give us advice about how to approach the process, and remind us that we would need to be patient in this crazy housing market. Once we found our house (first and only offer!) she went above and beyond to figure out what we needed to do in order to get it. Yes, we went above our initial budget, but if Diane hadn't given us a gentle nudge to perfect our offer based on her experienced instinct, we would've been edged out. After the offer was accepted, she professionally orchestrated the escrow process and made sure everyone involved completed their tasks to meet our closing deadline. As if that wasn't enough, she went even further to help us contact the city to determine if we could make certain changes to our property, met with contractors at the house while we were at work, and continued to reinforce that we made the right decision while we were having some post-purchase anxiety. Diane is your ideal agent and we are convinced that her demeanor with the listing agent was the final piece that got us our house. Overall, we couldn't recommend her enough! "

" It is rare and fortunate for us to have found Diane! She is professional and personal in her real estate transactions. She not only knew the location we were looking at really well but also knew all the neighbors! We really appreciated her honesty and kindness. She even stopped by to drop off some homemade cookies. Diane really made this process great and we are so thankful for her expertise! "

★★★★★
" Diane was blessing to work with and she was able to find my family a beautiful home in South San Jose. I highly recommend Diane if you are looking to purchase some real estate. She is very responsive and a great person to have in your corner. My family also received a great friendship out of the deal as well. We love you Diane and keep blessing the world with you skills and knowledge. Thanks for everything!!! "

" Diane and PJ did an awesome job with our late year sale. Thankful for their expertise, knowledge and connections to the industry. We were able to get our townhouse upgraded, listed and sold by end of 2022. Very tough feat with the holidays. In this new market, it was nerve wracking with all the bad media news on real estate and interest rates. We worried we were going to be a long listing for a while. But they worked tirelessly to find the right buyer who I think will be very happy making memories in their new home. Thank you Diane & PJ for being patient, helpful, encouraging and diligent in finding our buyer! Happy New Year 2023! "

★★★★★
" Diane Bucher handled the sale of my parents' house. They are both in their 90s and really needed assistance with the sale. Like all excellent agents, her help extended well beyond the sale. She helped them coordinate every aspect of the house clean-up and move, and she supported/helped their transition to senior housing.
Ms. Bucher is one of the kindest and most sincere individuals I have met. Her compassion towards my parents' situation and careful handling of the sale (in the midst of COVID) impressed me beyond words. If you're looking for an honest, hard-working individual who exemplifies what it truly means to be a professional Realtor®, there is no better choice than Diane Bucher.

" Thank you so much for helping my parents out. They love the home, the area and their new neighbors! They appreciated all of your guidance and the really nice welcome gift basket!... We are planning to start looking for places some time after the baby comes- we’re hoping for something similar to what my parents found! We will definitely reach out to you when the time comes! Thank you again for everything! It was such a pleasure meeting you and I am so grateful for all of your help! "

" Having moved to the Silicon Valley, California from Kenmore, WA, we encountered a housing market with bidding wars, ridiculous and meaningless housing prices, and low home inventory. Diane Bucher came recommended by my Realtor® in Seattle. We were happy to find Diane, professional, personable, and relentless in her quest to find the house of our choice. She and her partner Patrick were always there to take us around to show many homes from Danville to Morgan Hill and the neighborhoods of San Jose. The distance and time of the day did not matter to them, and they even picked us up as early 7am on certain days. Anytime we wanted to see a home Diane and Patrick moved fast providing us good advice on the pros and cons of the home in question. Homes were selling fast even before some homes came in the market. After three months of searching for a home to meet our specific “must have criteria”, Diane and Patrick found our dream home in Livermore, CA. It is our pleasure to recommend Diane and Patrick Bucher as a real estate agent for any individual or family searching for the ideal home for their unique situation. "

" Diane goes above and beyond to provide exceptional personal service. She handled the sale of my parents' home and was so helpful with all aspects of the sale and the details that go around selling a home that my parents were in for 58 years. I would highly recommend Diane! "

★★★★★
" Diane is one AWESOME lady. She is super patient and really listens to what one needs. Takes her time getting to know you and our family REALLY appreciated that as we had some very special circumstances. Truly awesome that we met her and worked w/her so well! Def continue to work with her in the future! "

★★★★★
" Diane and her husband used to live across the street. They are personal friends for many years. However, I am not bias as saying that our experience has been super. Our house easier than we could have dreamed. She did a wonderful job in every way... and still is, helping us make a very tough transition to assisted living.  "

★★★★★
" Diane listed our San Jose home in March 2019, she met with us regularly to advise and check the progress of prepping for the sale of the home. Our plan was to stay in our home until we purchased a new home. In August 2019, we purchased a home in Hollister and Diane actively moved forward for the sale of our San Jose home through aggressive marketing, via fliers, post cards and social media plus spending countless hours hosting open house events. She was always available to us for questions, giving input, readily addressing concerns and welcomed open discussions throughout the process. We would highly recommend her professional services to anyone seeking to buy or sell a home. Our experience with Diane was outstanding.  "

" We like Diane's professionalism and expert service. She leaves us plenty of space to discuss among ourselves in making our decisions. The transaction process was well tuned and expeditious. It was a pleasure working with her. She comes highly recommended! "

★★★★★
" Diane helped us through every step of a complicated process and remained cheerful, upbeat and responsive throughout. I really enjoyed working with her and look forward to staying in touch with her after we leave the area. I highly recommend her. "

★★★★★
" I met Diane while she was self-advertising at a Meet-n-Greet in the lobby of my Bank: Assertive not Aggressive. She listened without judgement to my situation: Intuitive not Invasive. When she arrived to our home for the first appointment she had “comparisons,” “quotes,” and “suggestions”  for what to expect and where to do next: Preparation not Pushiness. When things fell through did not become angry or abrupt: Compassionate not Dismissive. When I decided to purchase a home out of area, I took a chance and asked for her help: Responsive not Patronizing. The recommendation she gave fit my personality and need PERFECTLY. Assertive & Intuitive Preparation with Compassionate Responsiveness: you really couldn’t ask for anything more when you’re undergoing such a life-changing event. "

" Diane is a true real estate professional that can be trusted to give great advice and to get excellent results. We had an exceptional experience with her. Born and raised in the area, Diane’s market knowledge is second to no one. We met Diane in 2014, when we bought our home, she was the  listing agent. When it came time to sell the home, we asked Diane for some market advice, as we were unclear as to whether we should rent the property or sell. Given her experience in both areas and her knowledge of the market, she made the decision obvious to us. Diane worked hard to negotiate our sale price and in the end, the sale price was way above what we had ever anticipated. Diane managed the entire transaction, while we moved our family back to Japan. Diane and her team ensured that we were able to complete the necessary paperwork, while giving us the right consultants in the US, to advise on every complex, tax detail. Her team was professional in all senses of the word, nothing was too much trouble. We cannot recommend Diane highly enough. If you are looking for a knowledgeable agent and one you can trust, you will not find a better one than Diane. We look forward to working with her again, in a few years, when we move back to the US.

★★★★★
" Upon meeting Diane Bucher a few years ago I was impressed with her kind and patient demeanor. When I needed to sell a house, I knew she was the Realtor® for me. Diane is hard-working, professional and enthusiastic. She had great suggestions on how to make the house look its best. Diane is up-to-date with the real estate market and advertised in the most beneficial ways such as Facebook ads, open house showings, getting flyers out to the public and a beautiful virtual tour online just to name a few. Diane is spirited, honest and trustworthy. Diane Bucher comes with my highest recommendation. "

★★★★★
" We like Diane's professionalism and expert service. She leaves us plenty of space to discuss among ourselves in making our decisions. The transaction process was well tuned and expeditious. It was a pleasure working with her. She comes highly recommended! "

★★★★★
" Diane was on top of her inventory and very patient with me during a difficult transition. She communicated effectively and timely, I recommend her for a Realtor®. "

★★★★★
" Diane is a great agent! Her attention to detail is amazing! She has never let me down and can handle even the most difficult situations. "

★★★★★
" Diane Bucher represented me as a seller's agent and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a broker. Her knowledge of the market helped us price our home to receive offers without leaving money on the table. Diane also guided us and made recommendations on what changes we should consider  making to the home prior to going on the market which made a big difference in how the home was received by potential buyers. She is very professional and a pleasure to work with. "

★★★★★
" If you are selling or buying a home give very careful consideration when selecting a Real Estate Broker to represent you. I selected Diane Bucher to sell my house in San Jose, I can't say enough good things about Diane. I met Diane almost 2 years ago, at that time I was not ready  to sell my house, but Diane kept in touch through email, newsletters and telephone follow up. When I was ready to sell my house Diane was very thorough and very sensitive to my needs. Diane was professional in every aspect of the transaction. She took care of all the inspections I required, was always on time, very detail oriented. Diane has a great depth of knowledge about the Real Estate transaction. If you are a buyer or seller I would highly recommend Diane as the Real Estate Broker you want working for you. On a scale of 1 to 10, Diane's an 11. "

★★★★★
" Diane was great at helping us find our house. We ended up taking her slightly outside of her normal area but she was so engaged, thoughtful and helpful we really didn't want anyone else. I would strongly recommend her and absolutely loved working with her. "

★★★★★
" Diane was helpful and knowledgeable from start to finish. She confirmed that it would be best to offer the property "AS IS" at the low end of the assessed value, to give buyers leeway to renovate or rebuild. We had 13 offers after the first open house and closed well above the asking  price. Diane is unusually skilled at giving you information (on comparisons, on initial offering price, etc.) while letting you feel that you are the one who decides. She was endlessly generous with her time and energy, managing everything from open houses and random furniture to resettling an orphaned cat. "Don't worry about it," was what she said. I was out of town while the property was being shown, but Diane kept me in touch throughout. Her response to questions was very quick, by email or telephone, and her use of DocuSign for the endless signatures & approvals meant that everything moved faster. Maybe there's a way to give a more enthusiastic account of my experience with Diane Bucher as my agent; if so, tell me and I'll do it! "

★★★★★
" I engaged Ms. Bucher's employment to sell my Aunt's home in Cambrian Park area of San Jose. She did a brilliant job for me. Not only did she roll up her sleeves, she met with contractors, etc when I couldn't make it. Ms. Bucher went well beyond the of duty as a Realtor®! I would recommend her at  the drop of a hat! "

★★★★★
" I have known Diane Bucher for a number of years and have always known her to be a wonderful mother and wife to her family. When I was in need of a real estate agent I gave Diane a call. I found her to be very knowledgeable and responsive to my needs. When I called her with a question or comment,  she called back right away with answers. She has lived in the Los Gatos/San Jose area her entire life so knows the area perfectly. I would not hesitate to recommend Mrs. Bucher to any of my friends or business associates for their real estate needs. "

★★★★★
" I would highly recommend Diane with your next purchase. She very personable, always looking for the best interest of the client and goes out of her way from beginning to end of the transaction. "
