Diane Allingham
Broker

Each client, buyer or seller, has different criteria and expectations – and I have worked with a wide and diverse range since joining this great profession. As a top producer, experience has honed strong negotiation skills and strategic thinking. My approach is confident and assertive when it needs to be, warm, personable and professional always. I appreciate the differences between clients and adapt accordingly to ensure that you achieve your desired outcome and the gratification of a positive, fun experience. I am absolutely passionate about the profession of real estate and currently sit as a volunteer of the Professional Standards Committee of the Ottawa Board of Real Estate.

Prior to becoming a real estate Sales Representative and then Broker, I enjoyed a lengthy career in high technology Marketing & Communications, always focused on the customer.

Having bought, sold and lived in various neighbourhoods since arriving in Ottawa in 1987, I have owned new and old homes myself – and survived both construction and many a renovation! Originally from New York, I am proud to call Ottawa home and happily reside in Old Ottawa South with my husband, two children and two dogs.

"You are an amazing agent. Our new house is awesome and we couldn't have done it without your hard work, passion and enthusiasm. Thank you for making us feel so comfortable through the whole process."

“Diane was a tremendous help - both when I sold a home, and purchased a new one. She provided clear and strong guidance, was creative in her approach and represented by best interests. I really felt like she shared my experience, and that it was personal for her too! Frankly, she turned what is typically a very stressful event into something that was fun and memorable.”

Jennifer Stewart
Broker

I love Real Estate! It's as simple as that. Beyond me being a person who is passionate about what I do as a profession, lies a complex industry. Whether you are buying or selling, my goal is to make that process seamless and savvy. I have had the privilege of working with a wide variety of clients in my years in real estate. Every situation is different and requires a unique approach. I am a flexible thinker and have the ability to adapt to the needs of my clients. You can rely on my warmth, outgoing personality, strong market knowledge and proven negotiation skills to excel on your behalf.

Since graduating from Queen's University I have been involved in the customer service and sales industry. I have had the wonderful opportunity of running two successful businesses, and have been an investor in the local real estate market for many years.

Having been born and raised in Westboro, I have an in-depth knowledge of the fabulous neighbourhoods Ottawa has to offer. For many years I was a resident of the Glebe and Old Ottawa South. I've recently been through the selling and buying process myself and currently reside in a 75 year old home in Wellington Village, along with my partner, our 3 children and our mischievous dog.

"Had it not been for Jennifer's professional excellence and personal warmth and dedication to finding the right house for her clients, I would not have been able to make this trans-continental move with such ease."

“Jen is both professional and informal, which built confidence and comfort in our relationship with her. Her professionalism was obvious from the beginning. Jen came to visit us and determined very quickly what we wanted. She was very flexible and able to accommodate our tight schedule. The fact that Jen was relaxed throughout the entire process -- including in negotiations -- helped us stay calm and confident, despite being first-time buyers. Jen is easy to relate to as she is young, hip and unpretentious. She not only knows urban neighbourhoods well, but she can even recommend the best restaurants and take-out in those neighbourhoods. We were surprised that we could find an agent that never made us feel pushed in any one direction—more still, Jen generally followed our lead while providing advice only when we needed it. We truly appreciated her openness, and enjoyed her sense of humour.”
