Have a client moving to Austin?
Diana Roberts works directly with agents and brokers referring buyers and relocating clients to Austin. She brings California real estate experience dating to 2003, a California broker license earned in 2008, current Austin market knowledge, Texas Certified General Appraiser credentials and residential development experience to the handoff.
Austin local knowledge.
Austin Real Estate Advisor
You make the introduction. Diana takes it from there.
The road movie is playful. The handoff is not. Diana personally connects with the client, learns the move, builds the Austin search and guides the transaction through closing.

California → Austin is the first featured corridor inside Diana's agent-to-agent referral network.
ATX
Great agents know when their clients need a great agent somewhere else.
A referral is your reputation leaving town with the client.
Diana brings the client a combination of Austin market knowledge, California perspective, valuation discipline and development experience. The referral is to Diana. Compass is the platform behind her.
She knows the market your client is leaving.
Diana lived and worked in California and built a substantial portion of her real estate career in Los Angeles and the South Bay.
She knows the market they are entering.
Diana works across Austin with particular depth in Serene Hills, Lakeway, Bee Cave, Lake Travis, Westlake, Rollingwood, Barton Creek and Spicewood.
An appraiser's eye changes the property conversation.
More than 3,000 appraisal reports give Diana a disciplined framework for comparable selection, condition, site, improvements, function and supported value.
She understands new construction beyond the finishes.
Diana's 12+ residential development projects add practical experience with land, construction, product decisions, positioning and resale.
California → Austin
California is different for Diana. She is not an Austin agent trying to understand the market your client is leaving. Diana lived in San Francisco, Palo Alto, Los Angeles and Manhattan Beach and practiced real estate across Los Angeles and the South Bay before moving to Austin.
San Francisco + Palo Alto
Diana lived in San Francisco and Palo Alto and understands the perspective of Bay Area and Peninsula clients moving to Austin.
Westside Los Angeles
Diana practiced real estate in West Los Angeles, Santa Monica and Westchester before her South Bay years.
Manhattan Beach + Beyond
Diana lived and worked in Manhattan Beach and represented clients across Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach and Palos Verdes.
Austin gets smaller with the right guide.
Relocation becomes easier once the buyer understands the real differences among the communities, property types, taxes, commute patterns, lake relationship and trade-offs that matter to them.
A familiar network. A direct relationship with Diana.
Referrals can come from Compass or any other brokerage. When Compass is relevant, Diana can use its current buyer-search, agent-network and pre-marketing tools as additional market context. The relationship and Austin-side advice remain Diana's responsibility.
Active listings, available Private Exclusives, Coming Soon homes, new construction and other relevant opportunities can be considered in the client's search.
Buyer Demand, agent-to-agent matching and engagement information can add another current-market lens when Diana is evaluating options.
Compass is the infrastructure. Diana is the Austin advisor making the property and transaction decisions with the referred client.
How the handoff works.
You have handled your client's real estate in their existing market. When Austin becomes the next chapter, Diana becomes their local advisor.
Make the introduction.
Introduce Diana to your client and share the timing, price range, current situation and anything she should know before the first call.
Diana connects personally.
Diana learns the move, neighborhood priorities, financial structure, timing and the trade-offs the client is trying to solve.
Diana handles Austin.
Communities, property search, value, new construction, offer strategy, inspections, appraisal and negotiation are handled locally.
Through closing.
Diana stays with the client through the transaction while the referral is documented through the appropriate broker-to-broker process.
What referring agents usually want to know.
What kind of Austin agent should I refer a relocating client to?
Look for someone who understands the specific Austin markets the client is considering, communicates directly, can evaluate property value and can guide the client through search, offer strategy, inspections, appraisal, negotiation and closing. Diana adds California experience, appraisal credentials and development knowledge to that Austin-side role.
Does Diana Roberts accept agent-to-agent referrals?
Yes. Diana works with agents and brokers referring clients buying or relocating to Austin and the surrounding West Austin, Lakeway, Bee Cave, Lake Travis and Hill Country markets. Referral arrangements are handled through the appropriate brokerage process.
Can Diana help a referred buyer with private or pre-market inventory?
Diana can include available Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon opportunities in the buyer's search when appropriate, along with active public listings, new construction and other relevant market context. Availability remains subject to seller direction and applicable rules.
Can Diana help with Austin new construction?
Yes. Diana has worked alongside developers on 12+ residential development projects. That background helps her evaluate lot position, construction, floor-plan function, upgrade choices, competing future inventory and resale positioning rather than focusing only on finishes.
Can Diana help a client who also needs to sell in another state?
Yes. Diana leads the Austin side and can coordinate timing with the referring agent or make a thoughtful introduction in the other market when local representation is needed there.
Does Diana stay in touch with the referring agent?
Yes. The level of communication can be tailored to the referral and the client's preferences, but the handoff is not meant to make the referring agent disappear. Diana treats the relationship as an agent-to-agent introduction worth protecting.
