Diane understood how to market our unique home and worked tirelessly to get us an amazing offer… which happened to be over the asking price.

I would highly recommend Diane, she’s the best.”

“A true professional! Listens to her clients and does not rest until the job is done. She’ll get your property staged, painted, landscaped and anything else necessary to sell your home. As far as being a buyers agent- she’ll take as long as necessary to find the perfect house for you. Hire her! You won’t be sorry. I’ve both sold and bought with her.”

“Diane is an exceptional professional, driven, determined, and amazing work ethic. She still manages to stay kind and considerate to others, you can tell that she loves what she does. Diane is a wonderful addition to our Saddle River office!”


“From the moment we started working with her, Diane has been a consummate professional and an outstanding advocate and realtor for us. She has a native's understanding of the geography of northern New Jersey, which was so helpful as we navigated territory that was new to us. She is extremely efficient and attentive to detail. She was unfailingly easy to reach and responsive to our questions. Throughout the entire journey, Diane was friendly, warm, and kind; it was such a pleasure to work with her, and we couldn't recommend her more highly. She's the real deal!”

“Diane was referred to us because of her significant local knowledge, reputation for outworking her competition and her marketing strategies. She helped us get our house ready to sell quickly, took amazing photos and videos and created significant interest in just a few days. The result: We received multiple offers and sold our home in less than two weeks! Diane won't just tell a seller what they want to hear either. She provides candid and fair feedback that is not often done by realtors. She is responsive, well networked and detailed. We can't thank her enough for her hard work. We'd recommend her to anyone selling a home in Bergen County.”

“Diane Cookson is an absolute gem. THE BEST. I base this claim on very recent personal experience. My wife and I worked with Diane for the better part of the past 3 months in search of our first house, having never met her prior to working with her. She was the ideal partner for such a venture. Diane understood almost immediately after meeting us what we were looking for in a house and from that point on made us feel like she had no greater professional priority than to help us find it. As a professional, she is available, she is responsive, she is tireless and extremely accommodating. She listens, she's beyond patient and she communicates well. She's smart, she's savvy, she's experienced and well-connected. While she wasn't afraid to express her opinion, Diane never nudged us in one direction or another; understand that we looked at countless houses in a pretty wide price range. She simply wanted us to be happy wherever we landed. For all of Diane's wonderful qualities, it's no surprise she is as well-respected and so highly thought of in the community. I could not imagine being in better hands as a first, second or tenth time buyer!”



“Diane Cookson did a phenomenal job selling our house. She staged the house well, took beautiful pictures and priced it right.

“Diane is incredible! She sold our home in 5 days! Diane handled everything from beginning to end. We truly enjoyed working with her. She made selling our home an easy experience.

“You will never regret selecting this incredibly knowledgeable, patient, impressive, hard working real estate professional. She brought numerous potential buyers, marketed the house effectively, knew the selling features of the house, and despite having a less than co-operative buyer maintained her professionalism throughout the entire process. She was helpful with providing direction in completing all steps of the sale including interacting with the town officials and suggesting competent and user friendly contractor for remediation of repairs as needed. Diane Cookson will not disappoint as your real estate professional. DIANE MADE OUR HOUSE SALE HAPPEN DESPITE DEALING WITH A PROBLEMATICAL BUYER.”

“Diane Cookson's, knowledge, skill and experience came together to sell our home quickly amid the uncertainty and restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic. It started with detailed metrics in regard to data about recent sales of comparable homes and other details regarding homes in our general price range that were on the market. Diane has an honest straight forward approach. After pricing we moved to the photographs, staging and implementation of her marketing plan. The photography and positive changes brought about by the staging were stunning and brought results. We priced the home based upon her recommendations and she delivered on her promise of multiple offers within 30 days. We closed on a schedule that met our expectations and we highly recommend Diane because of her highly professional skills, integrity and most importantly her results.”

We trusted Diane with the entire process and she crushed it for us!

“Her marketing prowess is second to none. Her presence on social media made a difference in blasting our home for sale rapidly across Bergen County and beyond. Friends of mine knew my house was listed before I even saw it online. We had showings almost instantly. The pictures she had taken she paid for herself and honestly looked so good I almost regretted having to sell the home.”

Diane took charge from the very beginning from staging to pictures and social media. We were listed 3 days after the interview.

Diane is a true professional and someone you want to have in charge when you are selling your home. Best decision we made.”

She brought incredible photographers and drone operators in and made sure the pictures were perfect.
