Estate. Divorce. Pre-Listing.
Get a certified opinion.
The Texas Certified General Appraiser designation is the highest residential and commercial appraisal credential issued by the Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board. It authorizes appraisal work on any property type — residential, commercial, land, and complex estates — and is the credential courts, banks, and estate attorneys rely on when objectivity is required.
No other Austin luxury real estate agent holds this credential. Diana's appraisal opinions are accepted for estate settlement, divorce proceedings, tax protest hearings, pre-listing valuations, refinancing, and financial planning — work that standard agents are not qualified to perform.
A global perspective.
Austin roots.
Diana Roberts moved to Austin in 2020 after co-founding a successful coastal brokerage in Los Angeles. She chose the Hill Country — and specifically Serene Hills in Lakeway — because of the schools, the Lake Travis lifestyle, and a city that still rewards people who do the work properly.
Born in Budapest and Oxford-educated, Diana brings a European directness to Austin real estate: no performance, no pressure, no inflated promises. She tells clients what the data shows, what the market will support, and what the right next move is — whether that's what they want to hear or not.
"Austin is evolving fast, but luxury is still about lifestyle — light, land, and location."
