Diana Cortes
Real estate isn't just what I do - it's how I help families step confidently into their next chapter. For over 22 years, I've guided buyers and sellers across South Bay and Coastal San Diego through one of the most meaningful decisions of their lives. I don't believe in pressure, shortcuts, or one-size-fits-all advice. I believe in clarity, education, and genuine care because when people feel informed and supported, they make better decisions. My role goes far beyond facilitating a transaction. I act as a trusted guide, educator, and advocate, walking clients step-by-step through contracts, negotiations, inspections, timelines, and market strategy - always ensuring they feel confident, never rushed, and fully in control. I make the complex feel clear, the stressful feel manageable, and the process feel human. Clients often come to me after feeling overwhelmed, unheard, or disappointed by past experiences. What they discover instead is a calm, highly responsive professional who treats their goals like her own. I stay connected long after closing, because relationships - not deal counts - are the foundation of my business. I specialize in residential real estate, with a focus on family-centered homeownership, move-up and lifestyle homes, and luxury properties. I'm proudly bilingual in English and Spanish, and deeply attuned to the cultural and family dynamics that shape major real estate decisions. That understanding builds trust, smooths communication, and leads to stronger outcomes for my clients. My approach blends luxury-level marketing and strategy with an approachable, down-to-earth presence. From hands-on staging guidance and strategic pricing to thoughtful storytelling and elevated presentation, every detail is handled with care and intention. My clients consistently say they feel seen, protected, and genuinely supported - not sold to. At the heart of my work is a simple promise: You will feel informed, confident, and cared for every step of the way. If you're buying or selling a home and want a partner who brings both expertise and heart, I would be honored to guide you through what's next.

My family and I are very grateful to have chosen Diana Cortes as our real estate agent for the purchase of our new house. Since the beginning, Diana was very straight forward with us and explained every detail about the process of buying a house. We were looking for a house with a specific criteria and in a specific area, and she was able to show us a variety of options. Once we put an offer on the house we liked, she kept us updated through the entire process. She was always available to meet with us to answer or clarify any doubt that we had. Even after we bought our house, we were able to reach out to her and she responded back in a timely manner giving us all the answers and explanations we needed. This was a great buying and learning experience for us. Additionally, we expected to have a realtor that kept us in communication at all times, and Diana surpassed our expectations. This is one of the many talents that Diana Cortes has, and we strongly suggest hiring her for all your real estate needs. The fact that she is honest and cares about her clients tells a lot about her professionalism. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again in the future.

Working with Diana was a flawless,pleasant experience that felt like having a friend who
was an insider to the real estate business. She helped us sell our house in just less than two weeks......amazing! We have interviewed several realtors to list our house,
but none nearly as straightforward, honest and energetic as Diana.She is knowledgeable,reliable and understanding. She knew exactly the price to list our home to get sold. After our bad experience with the previous realtor we hired, we were very thankful to have found the best realtor for us who we felt that someone was really representing us, rather than one who's intention is what was right for their own business
and career. Her presentation of our home for a successful sale in a short time was fantastic! We also appreciated that she was constantly available for any questions by email or text and she responds immediately. If you are looking to sell or buy a home
we highly recommend Diana Cortes at Century 21 Award. You will not be disappointed
with the level of real estate knowledge, integrity, professionalism and personal dedication.
