Diana Tsow

CA DRE# 01973643

A passionate and expert negotiator, by virtue of her expertise as a litigator and educator, Diana Tsow is revered for a holistic approach when finding her clients the perfect home. Although Diana has taken the road less traveled to real estate, it’s one she needed to take to gain the skills necessary to become a well-rounded agent. During her law practice, Diana learned the art of discretion, how to masterfully negotiate, think on her feet, and solve problems when a solution was seemingly out of reach. Diana was later recruited by a legal education company to travel to law schools around the country to assist in curricula development and guide students through the arduous bar exam. Working with individuals studying for a high-stakes exam is remarkably similar to working with home buyers and sellers as they are both significant milestones that often involve an array of emotions.
