We had a very tight timeline to sell our home. Diane came to us with a long list of things to do, and though most of it was not even on our radar, we went with every recommendation she made. We were skeptical that so much work could be done in the time we had, but the ensuing ballet of landscaping, painting, kitchen remodeling, and general repair that Diane choreographed was nothing short of miraculous. If she ever bores of real estate, she can certainly be a contractor. The transformation was so amazing that when we sent the final pictures to our son at college, he had trouble identifying his own room. Then came the listing, the previews, the open house... it all highlighted her experience in this market. Of course, the ultimate measure is the outcome. The house sold in four days, multiple offers, way over asking. If all that's not enough (and evidently it's not), she's also a joy to work with.

Patty, Aris, Alexandra, Diane and the whole team at Patty Dwyer Group did a spectacular job at preparing our house for sale, marketing it, and getting it sold very quickly for a fantastic price. Their professionalism, hands-on help and list of on-call contractors made it all happen very quickly and efficiently. Thanks to Patty's extensive experience buying and selling homes on the peninsula, as well as her expert eye and great taste, she provided us with specific advice about cosmetic changes, repairs and small upgrades to our home and landscaping to help make it a hot property that would generate a lot of interest and sell for the price we wanted. She's incredibly skilled at identifying the most attractive qualities of a home and determining the best ways to showcase those features. We are so glad we listened to Patty and her team and took their advice - they really know what they're doing and their recommendations were all spot-on. Patty recommended the right contractors for the jobs, got quotes for the work and scheduled them. Since we weren't able to be there ourselves, Patty went above-and-beyond for us by overseeing the work of the contractors on our behalf, and she was really on top of them to make sure everything turned out exactly right - she's very detail-oriented. She even hand-watered our flowers during a heatwave to make sure our plants looked their best. Everything turned out beautifully and she made our house look gorgeous, inviting and highly desirable. Patty also developed a really smart strategy for our open house that generated an overwhelming amount of interest and foot traffic - far more than any other home for sale in our area. Within a few days of listing, she sold our home for a price that made us really happy and she and her team helped keep everything with the transaction extremely organized and clear. She and her team have always been really proactive, quick to respond to any questions we've had, kept us on track even when things got busy. A few years back, Patty also helped my sister-in-law buy her home and later sell it as well, and did a phenomenal job with both of those transactions. It's no wonder why Patty is such a sought-after realtor. She's truly incredible and we're so grateful to her and her whole team.

In this fast-paced market, you need a true competitive edge, and Diane and the Patty Dwyer Group are the perfect secret weapon. We bought two properties in 2021 in two different parts of the Bay Area with Diane and I can't think of anyone or any group who could have done a better job than Diane and the Patty Dwyer Group. And I was incredibly impressed by the personalized level of service throughout the process. The relationship doesn't end after the close of escrow, Diane and the Patty Dwyer Group have continued to be our consultants, advocates and advisors as we transition into our new home.

Thanks to the negotiation skills of Diane and the team, we sold our house for the highest price per square foot in our neighborhood ever, and then we purchased a house for below the asking price! That just wouldn't happen with any other realtor in this market. Above all, I'd say they have integrity and intellect - exactly what we needed to successfully buy and sell a house in this competitive market.

Diane was recommended by a friend that had purchased previously purchased a home in Orinda. We could not be happier that we had a chance to work with her. She has meticulous knowledge of the homes, neighborhoods, schools, cultures and people in the Lamorinda area. I was so impressed with her expertise. She has the knowledge and intuition to help you craft the right offer and she's an excellent negotiator that knows the market and the players. Personally, she's fun to work with. Buying a home in this market is incredibly stressful and time consuming so you're going to want to spend time with someone that makes it as painless as possible and have a little fun in the process. I trust her enough to always recommend her to my closes friends!!

Diane is and was absolute pro through the house buying process. Where she was awesome:- Helping us narrow down which neighborhood (helping us envision living in that area both today and in future years)- Working with us to define what our house criteria should feasibly be.- Guiding us on a compelling offer.- ALL OF THE THINGS WE NEVER THOUGHT OF...the process of the offer, the process of the close, the vendors that we needed to be talking with to be ready for move in.Ultimately, buying a house was stressful, but Diane (and the rest of the stellar Dwyer Group) made the process as simple and enjoyable as possible.PS - please don't read my all five star review as hyperbole. It was really that positive of an experience.

Shealagh Meehan is amazing! During the COVID pandemic there were no open houses but appointments could be made through the real estate websites for 1 on 1 showings with local realtors. We had the great fortune of meeting Shealagh at one of these showings. We instantly clicked with her and asked her to represent us as our agent. Due to a combination of the competitive real estate market in the Bay Area, and our picky tastes, it took several months to find the perfect house. All throughout the process, Shealagh was super responsive, patient and always pleasant. She was very knowledgable about the local market and seemed to know almost every agent in the area. In addition to all of this, Shealagh referred us to an excellent mortgage broker that was able to work with our complex financial situation to get us approved. Without a doubt, we would not have landed our dream home without Shealagh's expertise. We 100% would (and will) recommend Shealagh Meehan to anyone looking for their dream home in the Burlingame, Hillsborough, San Mateo area.

Prompt, thorough and an excellent communicator. Unsurpassed experience and connections. I put my trust in Shealagh and was rewarded with the highest price per square foot in the history of our neighborhood. Her recommended upgrades (she chose paint colors, lighting fixtures and garden upgrades) made our home into a show place. She provided contractors that were timely and very well qualified. If you are a buyer, Shealagh will see the diamond in the rough and let you know how to maximize the potential of your new home. A true pleasure to work with.

Our experience with Diane was incredible. We wanted to move from the Peninsula to the East Bay, and received a recommendation to use Diane since she represents both areas. In looking for a new home to buy, she immediately got to work at understanding our needs and finding the perfect fit. Her knowledge of the East Bay market is spot on; she always knew what it would take to get the house but was never pushy, allowing us to take our time to find the right place. Her bidding strategy and negotiating skills got us incredible value for an amazing house in the perfect neighborhood. On the selling side we wanted to move quickly, and Diane expertly managed the process of getting our house ready for the market. She knows the peninsula market and guided us on exactly what we needed to do to get maximum value for the house without needlessly spending. Her strategy worked, and we had many offers right away. We were thrilled with the price that she ultimately negotiated for the sell. Diane puts in the effort, follows through to the last detail, and was an all-around pleasure to work with. Whether you are buying or selling in the East Bay or Peninsula (or all of the above like us), you cannot go wrong with Diane!

When we were looking to buy a home in San Mateo, we connected with Shealagh through a friend who sang her praises for her work with their home purchase. She lived up to that recommendation and so much more! From the start, she anticipated all of our questions and provided expert info for all the questions we didn't even know to ask as 1st time buyers in CA. She "got" us (our priorities, needs, style) and went above and beyond to help us toward our goal. All the while, she was incredibly warm, considerate, attentive, flexible, honest, genuine - just a darn great person to work with. Her connections allowed us to preview a house that was just about to go on the market and held our hand through the crazy process that is the home buying process in the Bay Area - even making the final, time sensitive steps of our purchase happen while we were out of state, time zones away. And after we moved into our new home, she surprised us with such a thoughtful housewarming gift - one of many little touches that made the whole process so lovely and personal. When we decided to sell our home years later, there was no one else we wanted to work with. We thought Shealagh did awesome work for us the 1st time, but then we had to redefine the word awesome the 2nd time around. Her advice on how to maximize the value of our home was spot on, she connected us with the best folks/companies to prepare the house for sale (and even hunted and purchased fixtures and such herself to minimize costs!), she was an expert communicator who kept us in the loop every step of the way, and again she was just a pleasure to work with. Our selling process went just as Shealagh had laid out (in the clear timeline she laid out), and we were more than thrilled at the outcome. Shealagh is THE BEST. I'm still trying to figure out a way to bring her to Michigan with us :)
