Client reviewsAll reviews
“Diana is one of the most organized, professional, pleasant, and least self-aggrandizing real estate agents on the Westside. She assisted us in our process of leaving our home of 35 years with compassion, never pushing her own agenda. […] Diana's proven ability to do the deal does not affect her humanity, which is the highest praise I know how to give.”
Venice seller (Zillow, cplourde), December 2024
“Diana is simply the best. Working with her changed my entire feeling and understanding of what a broker can be. […] I live in NY and could not be around for many of the important decisions, and the huge range of small tasks that need to be done when selling a house the right way. Diana made it extremely easy for me.”
Venice seller (Zillow, todwilliams1), November 2016
“Diana is an absolute joy to work with. She coordinated all aspects of our due diligence and subsequent repairs and made our transaction very seamless. I would highly recommend her!”
Venice seller (Zillow, rob265), July 2019
“Diana is an excellent negotiator, and went above and beyond to ensure that our real estate transaction went smoothly.”
Venice buyer (Zillow, stillett), December 2016
“Initially met Jasmine Comino and Diana Braun at an open house for one of their properties and quickly realized this was a great real estate team. They helped us find exactly what we were looking for.”
Venice buyer (Zillow, devonelizabethgreene), June 2017

Quoted from public reviews on Zillow and Google; Zillow shows 5.0 stars across 20 team reviews.
