It was an absolute pleasure working with Diane Castro-Perez. My husband and I were amazed at how quickly she sold our home. Diane was very professional and prompt with her responses as we went through the selling process without being present; she made it very easy on us. The entire process went smoothly and the guidance and suggestions were right on. From listing to closing was efficient and reasonable. We can not thank her enough and would highly recommend her to anyone.

Diane Castro was the best choice we could have made to sell our home. Her team took care of everything smoothly and efficiently. We would recommend them to everyone for selling your home.

Diane and her team were extremely helpful and complete professionals. I no longer resided in the same state as my home was listed and I couldn't have been more pleased with everything that transpired in the selling of my home. There was never a lack of communication and there was genuine care from Diane herself about me as her client. She worked non-stop for me as here client and was always upfront and honest with everything involved with the sell of my home. It was a pleasure working with Diane and her team and I would recoomend Diane Castro-Perez Realty to anyone wanting to purchase or sell a home.

I have expectations for a realtor to ensure I get the most out my homes. Diane Castro-Perez far exceeded those expectations. Diane and her team stuck with me during a uncommon situation after the aftermath of a hurricane. They also have been able to get my house under contract in 24 hours of it posting to the sites. They make every effort seamless for the seller and buyer. They are interlinked and communicate professionally begin each other and the client. I am so looking forward to buying a house from her. Thank you Diane, it’s great to work just amazing talent. You were born for realty world.

Diane and her team are awesome. They went through a step by step process from showing the house to final sale. This included how to stage the house, take professional photos and aggressive sales campaign. due to the previous mention the house was sold within a weeks timeframe. Thank you Diane and Team, we could not have done this without you!

Diane is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. She made the process of buying our first home a breeze. We had a tight timeline, needing to find something and close within and month and she and her team helped us do that!

AMAZING! 10/10
My husband and I were new to the Jacksonville and we didn't know much about the area! After meeting Diane and talking about our desires for our first home, she got to work right away! She was extremely responsive to my questions and walked us through the entire process. She was very patient as she took us to see over 30 houses on the market, and kept us focused on what we REALLY wanted. We were able to find a home that exceeded our expectations and were able to close very quickly! We were so thankful to have found Diane as our agent, she made buying our FIRST home an absolute breeze!

We had a wonderful experience with the Castro Real Estate Team! We moved to Jacksonville from overseas and I couldn't imagine the process going any smoother! We worked with Diane Castro-Perez and Natalie Gray, both ladies worked their hardest, from picking the lot to a finished product we couldn't be any more pleased with the service and personal attention these ladies gave us during the building and home buying process. I would highly recommend the Castro Real Estate Team!

We can't say enough good things about our experience working with Diane. From the great advice on preparing the house for sale to providing assistance with a vacant house and out-of-state owners, Diane and her team went the extra mile for us. We also must note that the photographer on Diane's team took the best home pictures we have ever seen and portrayed our house in its very best light. Diane is a smart, enthusiastic and super personable agent with a highly-competent and friendly team.

Diane and her team were wonderful throughout the process of selling my home. They were honest, professional and answered any questions I had with lightning speed. Highly recommend Diane and her team if you are buying or selling!!!

Diane Castro and her team were of great help to us in selling our old home and buying the new one. Their team provided awesome photos of our old home which we are sure helped in getting it sold for the asking price. A special shout out to her assistant Kira Ruck who always kept us in the loop throughout the entire process.

All my experiences with Diane and Castro Real Estate Group was over the phone as I live in a different state. We needed to sell our home in Jacksonville NC quickly and after one call I felt confident that Diane was the agent to do this for us. She always kept us up to date and returned our phone calls or texts as soon as she possibly could. Our home sold in a month! I would recommend Diane Castro and Castro Real Estate Group for anyone buying or selling their home. They are the best!!

She made it possible to buy our lovely home from across the country with no troubles! We love our home and it's perfect, all thanks to her. All we did was drive over, sign papers and the process was complete! It's was a great experience and would deffinatly would recommend having Diane on your side.

Diane is very efficient at her job. She sold our house in 4 months when the average for our area is 8-11 months. I do wish she would have come to the house and shown us exactly what was supposed to be fixed because there was some miscommunication between us and the buyers. Or her contractor could have come. But he gave a quote over the phone so no one ever came and looked at what needed to be repaired in person.
Most of my questions were answered by Diane's office managers who were amazing. But Diane was always accessible and quick to reply. She did a great job overall and I'm thankful that she was recommended to us.

This whole process was daunting at first. Having never sold a home before I was very apprehensive of the whole process. Especially trying to sell a home I built myself and put my heart into from the beginning with the blueprints to the actual construction on the house. But I knew I could trust Diane to bring in the right buyer that would see the value of a custom home. In the end I was blown away. Received 5k more than asking price when it was all said and done with. Everything was discussed clearly upfront before signing the sellers contract so there were no surprises. And after only one day on the market the house had offers. Yes multiple offers on the first day. To say the least I was very pleased that the house sold as quickly as it did, for more than asking price, and painlessly. I plan to use Diane for the next home sale, and the next, and the next, and the next.

Diane and her team did an amazing job selling our house. They sent out excellent photographers and videographers that spent hours staging our home and photographing it at it's best. We had 7 showings in the first month and a buyer in 30 days. When that buyer fell through (a fluke that was no one's fault), she relisted the house and had a second buyer in two weeks. Not only is Diane sweet, quick to respond, and hard working, but everyone in her office puts their best foot forward to get your house sold. We even sold our house for more than it was appraised for! I'm very thankful that we checked the referral page on the Dave Ramsey site and found Diane. She helped us immensely and it was a pleasure to work with her!
06/30/2016 - David Martinez Jr.
Diane and her team were absolutely phenomenal!! After using her services for several years as my property manager I finally decided to sell my home. Diane went to work right away and had my home in escrow in days!! Her experience and knowledge were instrumental and made the sale of my first home easy and painless! I highly recommend her should you decide to either sell or buy a home. I guarantee you will not be dissapointed!!

Diane and her team are incredible. We moved to the area initially and rented since we had two weeks to find a place and move. One of her team members met with my husband on a Saturday night to help us find a fabulous rental on short notice. When we were ready to buy, I referred to Diane as "the whisperer:" she spent a lot of time and patience walking us through our first home buying process. She was very responsive in answering our questions and keeping us apprised of what needed to happen. Diane and her team made our first time purchasing a home smoother than we thought possible. We would recommend her any day to everyone.
03/27/2016 - faith simpson24
Diane and her team were great during my home buying process. Always so friendly and professional. You could ask for a better realtor!! They're the best around!!!
01/28/2016 - eijessica
Very helpful and patient with my home purchase process!! I have been in a long drawn out process with a short sale and am very grateful for the persistence and patience needed to make it work!

Diane handled our home with love and care and it was beautifully represented on Zillow with awesome pictures and drone views.
We have known Diane for a few years and recommend her to everyone that is in need of a Real Estate Agent. She handled our home of 25 years during rentals and I was impressed with her expertise and also her unwillingness to accept less than realistically able-to-be rented homes. So, when it came time to sell our newer home, she was the only one we would even consider!
12/20/2015 - DavidWikler
Diane is a very real estate savvy relator that combines several years of business and local knowledge with a low pressure, pleasant demeanor. Her attention to detail and aim to please type service is a rare find. I would recommend Diane to anyone in the market whether looking for a first home or their dream house.
10/16/2015 - KellyWorsleyHoneycutt
Diane Castro-Perez and her staff are amazing. We hired her to sell our current home and to help us find a new home. Our current house was under contract within 4 weeks and we closed on our new house within a month. Her assistant Diane Gillespie is amazing and is alway available to answer questions. The process was very smooth and they took care of so many details with the transaction that it was very easy to negotiate with the other parties. I highly recommend Diane Castro-Perez to anyone searching to buy or sell a home in Jacksonville and surrounding areas.
07/02/2015 - BreannaJager
We had a very smooth process in selling our home with Diane and we absolutely love her assistant Diane Gillaspie! Amazing realtors and would highly recommend them!
06/03/2015 - warshack87
I had a great experience working with Diane Castro-Perez while listing my home. I had to move away before my house was sold and Mrs. Perez and her team took care of everything for me. I couldn’t have asked for a better team on my first time selling a house. I would highly recommend.
04/14/2015 - Robert Schweibert
Diane was extremely helpful with the entire process of buying a home. As a first time home buyer, she eased a lot of the stress and ensured my wife and I got what we wanted. I couldnt be happier with my new home and how well she handled it all.
02/02/2015 - David
Having Diane Castro represent my family as our Realtor was heaven sent. Diane's professionalism, thoroughness, outstanding communication, and knowledge of the area made our home buying experience a complete breeze. The key thing is that she listened to our needs and wants, was able to perform masterfully (considering our unique situation), and stayed within our monetary limits. Diane Castro is definitely a great catch for those searching for a SOLID REALTOR that will not only treat you like family but will take care of you as one. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Diane Castro. You and your family will be happy you chose her to represent you as your Realtor.
** Thank you Diane for all that you've done for my family. You have not only sold a house, but a place in which my daughters can called "HOME". Thanks again and hope to have you over sometime for a BBQ. God Bless!! **

Serving 22 years in the military we often find it challenging to place our trust in other more so when it comes to large purchases such as a new home. With Diane Castro-Perez and her team we were right at home, makes you feel as if she has been a lifelong friend. Her and her staff are well more than accommodating in difficult and stressful situations and fully understood and worked diligently with us to make our dream come true. Being in a military populated location you will always find thousands of real estate agents which offer a magnitude of talents and the selection process alone can be confusing and often stressful. Very few take the time to locate an agent that fits your personality and most importantly will listen to what you and your family’s needs are in locating a home. Choosing the right agent is no different than selecting the right family Doctor; after all this is someone you are trusting your families health care to while your agent helps select the right home that fits your family’s needs while maintaining your financial needs. Diane Castro-Perez and her team have my highest recommendation for your future home buying needs trust me you will not be disappointed. My family and I are happy to have found our new home and gained new friends through Diane Castro-Perez and her dedicated staff.

Diane Catro is very professional and I would highly recommend her for buying or selling a home. We are very pleased with the purchase of our home in NC. It is our own special paradise.
08/05/2014 - billert
Very positive. Home was a difficult one to sell due to location, isolation and amount of lawn maintenance required. She hung in there and got the property sold.
07/15/2014 - user3838065
Diane is the greatest person to work with. My wife and I have bought a condo and a lot in the past 3 years on North Topsail Beach. We have had the greatest experience working with Diane and her team. Any questions that we had they got us the answer so quick. We live in Ohio and they have made the process of buying in North Carolina a very easy process. We would recommend them to everyone.
06/18/2014 - nwrightellis
Diane was amazing. When it didn't look like we were going to be able to finalize the loan she worked very hard to find someone else and as a result we were able to get things in place to get the loan in order to close on our first home.
06/06/2014 - zuser20140606065844643
Diane and her staff were wonderful to work with. We looked for houses with her for almost 5 months until we found the right one. She and her staff were always available to us, with all the answers we needed, for any of the myriad of home buying questions we had.
We have worked with other realtors in the past, but never had an experience like this. A professional group, that was as concerned about finding the right house for us as we were, at the right price, and followed through with support until closing and beyond. She took time to get to know our family and what we wanted/needed.
Thank you again Diane and staff!
04/30/2014 - DavonnaThomas
Honestly, I can't say enough great things about Diane. She was perfect for us. She was such a great listener and communicator! She showed us houses... both ones we had picked out and ones she had picked out, and she did a great job picking those out! She so clearly GOT US and what we wanted, and we never felt like she was pushing an agenda. Honestly, I am sort of jaded about realtors and the realty industry, but Diane shatters all those stereotypes. I highly and enthusiastically recommend her!
02/12/2014 - david busby92
I just recently bought a house for my husband and I here in Jacksonville, it must have been fate honestly that I would find Diane Castro because i decided to just go look at a house that i thought looked nice and by my surprise Diane Castro was already there and willing to show me the house.
Diane Castro is a rock star and a very caring lady. The Jacksonville area real estate market is obviously very hot due to all the Marines that get station on Lejuene and New River and she was able to get me into showings no problem. When I found the house for us she counseled us through the emotional roller coaster of a bidding war with another buyer and going back and forth with the seller. With her advice we were able to get the house we always wanted. Diane was with us the whole time all the way to signing the papers. She made it an enjoyable experience from start to finish.
Something that i should add is during the whole process of buy this beautiful house my husband was deployed in Afghanistan. Diane went out of her way to make sure that the house was something we both liked and ended up loving by staying in contact with him the best that she could.
If my Husband and I find ourselves selling and/or buying another home we will be getting a hold of Diane Castro first thing! She is an amazing lady and is very good at her job.
01/31/2014 - louisebargobiller
Currently working together to sell my home. Diane is a professional in every sense of the word. Her staff are courteous and willing to do what is needed to communicate with me. I hold her in the highest regard.
01/29/2014 - damkam
Diane is listing our house right now. She has been helpful with understanding the process and determining the correct pricing and presentation of our home. Her staff is very attentive, courteous and helpful.
01/12/2014 - BethanySJackson
As an agent, Diane and her associates have been extremely impressive. They continue to make us feel like our house is important and work hard to answer any questions that we might have. They are constantly advertising our property and make sure our house is seen in multiple locations. We have nothing but praise for her team and the work that they are doing!
01/11/2014 - angie2716
We felt so comfortable working with Diane! She helped us buy and sell our home and we would recommend her to any of our friends or family! With her knowledge of the area and her dedication to us the clients made the whole process quick and smooth.
01/10/2014 - mrandmrsward2007
We have worked with this team just a short while. It feels, however, that we have been working with them forever! (In a good way) We were immediately taken in and made to feel like family. We have had more showings of our house in the few short months we have worked with then than we did in the two years we were with another company! This group of ladies are the best and we have already recommended them to a few friends!!!!
01/10/2014 - ginasturino
We interviewed several realtors before choosing Diane; she impressed us with her professionalism and knowledge of the local market. She was prepared for our initial meeting, walked through our home (some realtors gave us suggested listing price w/o even going through the home!), had valuable suggestions on "marketing" the home, and took her time answering our questions. The process for getting our home listed was made easy and hassle free. Her staff, especially Kim, is equally impressive. We would suggest Diane's team to any neighbor or friend looking for a realtor in the area!
01/09/2014 - debbier91b
I met Diane in Real Estate school and have worked with her side-by-side as she quickly became a leading broker in the area! Her passion for client care is unmatched. For this reason, she was the obvious choice when my military family was relocated and we turned our home into a rental property, which her team has managed since 2009. Today, her property management team still ensures the home is constantly rented with qualified tenants even in a very saturated rental market. I always get quick responses and professional courteous service from her team- a direct reflection of great leadership, as we in the military know! Thanks for all you do, and for doing it always with a smile!
01/09/2014 - sarajane 28445
I have been very satisfied with Diane Castro-Perez. She has kept us apprised every step of the way with all of the results of her advertising. Our area is a little out of the way and she has captured the advantages of it with a full profile of the amenities it hastto offer. Looking forward to a productive result.

After 42 yrs. we decided to sell our home and build a new one at SW Plantation. We contacted Diane to be our real estate agent. She immediately went to work, resulting in selling our home in 12 days. We were very satisfied with the offer. She started working to get us into our new home by helping us select a builder, home plan and lot. She and her great staff worked very hard to make this a smooth transition into our beautiful new home. We have been in our home for 8 months, each day we say how much we love our home. It is truly a dream come true, Diane and staff made that happen. You know you have had a good experience when the sell is finished and you are still good friends with your real estate agent and the builder. I have and will continue to recommend her to others.
12/12/2013 - Patrick A Ingram
My wife and I were looking at purchasing our very first home. Diane found us the perfect quiet location in a great neighborhood and we cannot wait to raise our family in this home. She got us in with one of the best local builders around and the upgrades made it even better. Absolutely the best agent we could have ever dreamed of and I wish everyone had the chance to work with her amazing team!
12/11/2013 - gillaspiefamily
We sold our first home with Diane Castro-Perez quickly and for the best price! When we returned to the area we sought her out again to purchase our new home. Her familiarity with the area, local builders and relationships with other realtors helped us again get a great home at the price we wanted. She is familiar with military life and the stresses of a PCS move first hand so it was an obvious choice for us to choose her when getting ready to make such a big decision. She kept us informed through out the process from beginning to end and assisted us in all aspects of buying and selling our home!
