Experience built on solid ground
Here is an out of the ordinary profile, dotted with achievements and eloquent recognitions, as much in construction and real estate development, as in real estate brokerage. An extensive career, summed up in a few lines and demonstrating a high satisfaction of her clientele.
Indeed, before transitioning in 2009 to real estate brokerage, for more than two decades Diane initially acted as a masonry contractor accredited by CMHC for the removal of the UFFI, then became a high-end custom home builder, as well as a real estate developer and promoter.
Often recommended by one satisfied client to another, this led her to build over a hundred high-end custom residences. Her exceptional achievements are now among the most remarkable homes of Rosemère, Westmount, Pointe-Claire, Beaconsfield, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Ile-Bizard, Saint-Bruno, Sainte-Adèle, Sainte-Dorothée and Laval-sur-le-Lac. Imposing mansions of incomparable quality that elegantly stand the test of time and are for the most part still inhabited by those who entrusted her with the mandate to build their dream home. This alone says a lot about her know-how and care to details!
Raising quality standards, she became the winner of one of the most coveted awards in construction, a DOMUS trophy of APCHQ: Builder of the year, luxury homes. Indeed, in 1995 she became the First woman in the province of Québec to win a DOMUS.
Subsequently, she won DOMUS and ÉMÉRITE trophies on 8 other occasions, awarded respectively by the ‘’Association des professionnels de la construction et de l’habitation du Québec (APCHQ)’’ and the ‘’Association de la construction du Québec (ACQ)’’, with awards ranging from High efficiency project of the year, Residential project of the year, Multifamily project of the year, Condominium project of the year, as well as a few times the coveted Entrepreneur of the year, luxury homes.
Like a fish in water
When you know how to build a first class property and develop land, when you have undertook challenges of all kinds, such as; drafted/published co-ownership declarations, obtained financing for multi-residential projects, zoning changes and a hundred building permits, dealt with dozens of parties for the planning and execution of each project, and when you also designed, sold and built these properties for buyers, aren’t you now in an excellent position to provide enlightened advice and facilitate real estate transactions for buyers and sellers? Certainly!
Therefore, in 2009 Diane decided to share her career’s hard-earned experience and becomes a Chartered Real Estate Broker, then an Agency Executive Officer (AEO). Diane has quickly distinguished herself with a RE/MAX Hall of Fame recognition, and by re-investing herself with the passion, determination, dedication, integrity, and concern for excellence that made her reputation.
Diane has now successfully accumulated several hundred real estate transactions, ranging from the marketing and sale of new-built condominium projects and existing condominiums, the sale or purchase of prestigious single-family residences, plex and rental buildings, semi-commercial properties, rental of commercial spaces, as well as the sale or purchase of vacant buildings or sites to be redeveloped.
Authentic, Diane does not aim for high volume or number of transactions, but rather targets personalized quality service.
Each sale, purchase, or rental property transaction in which she gets involved for her client, regardless of its size, whether simple or overly complex, thus obtains a priority service to achieve the best results in respect of all parties involved.
2019-2025: President of the QPAREB Commercial Group
After several years on the committee of the Commercial Group of the Greater Montreal Real Estate Board (GMRB), elected President of this GMRB group in 2018, her presidency expanded to the provincial level in 2019 within the Commercial Group of the Quebec Professional Association of Real Estate Brokers (QPAREB), founded that same year.
The QPAREB Commercial Group organizes several annual events promoting training, information, and networking for commercial real estate brokers, including the QPAREB Commercial Real Estate Forum (FIC), an annual event that has gained notoriety, attracting hundreds of commercial brokers, as well as exhibitors, hand-picked speakers and renowned real estate developers.
On November 1, 2024, the FIC celebrated its 10th anniversary, highlighting Diane's extraordinary contribution to the QPAREB's commercial group, by a touching tribute to Diane, who announced that the time had come for her to pass the torch, proud of the mission accomplished over the years with her colleagues representing the group.
In 2025, as a representative of the QPAREB's commercial group, Diane continues to invest herself in supporting the presidency transition and the 2025 FIC. Her dedicated volunteer work speaks volumes about her passion for real estate, her commitment to excellence, and her values of collaboration.
Diane is also the author of several development programs, such as Strategic Negotiation, The Perfect Sale, and Client Attitude, which have been followed by tens of thousands of participants over the past 20 years.
From Old Montreal to the North Shore and the Laurentians
From 2009 to 2024, Diane's office was located in the heart of Old Montreal and the Business District, where within the RE/MAX L'ESPACE agency she supported both her clients and real estate brokers, holding the position of Vice President of the Commercial Division from December 2020 to June 2024.
Since June 2024, in the heart of the magnificent Laurentians she is now active within the RE/MAX BONJOUR agencies, among others as Director, Commercial Division, for the 10 establishments of this dominant real estate agency, which also won in 2023 the RE/MAX Québec award for the greatest number of transactions for a real estate agency.
Regardless of its size, a real estate transaction has a significant impact on your assets and peace of mind, and for Diane, giving you all the attention and expertise you are looking for from a real estate broker is a priority. With a human approach, you will be able to move forward with confidence, benefiting from her experience built on solid ground.
