“Diana’s initial presentation was very impressive. From there she was always available and attentive to requests and questions. She worked very hard to sell my house. It did sell, so I’m out on the road every weekend with her to find another one. She’s a relaxed, patient person and doesn’t pressure you to make quick decisions. Her friendly personality makes you feel like you’ve known her for a long time.”

"I am writing this letter to tell what a pleasure it was working with Realtor Diana Perna, in a transaction that could have been very difficult. I hired Diana to market and sell my sister's home in Huntington Beach California. I am the trustee for my sister Joan who is ill. I needed to sell Joan's house and move her to South Florida where I currently reside, so I can take better care of her. My sister was not up for much of the required work in getting her home ready for sale, even with the help of friends, but Diana was there every step of the way. She has proven herself capable of not just selling the home, but stepping up and doing whatever necessary to make the sale successful. I never expected such kindness from a stranger. I would recommend Diana to anyone who wants that extra someone special."
- Denise Izzo
"Thanks so much...you are a miracle worker. Especially getting this done during this season! Sold his Beachwalk home within weeks during the holiday season!"
- John Heeren
“In 2007 I bought my 1st house which was a condo. Diana Perna was my real estate agent. Not knowing anything about real estate or home loans, I had many questions and concerns. Diana was so helpful in answering all of my questions and explaining everything I needed to know. I remember calling and emailing Diana many times a day, she was so patient with me. She was always prompt in getting back to me. Since becoming a home owner, I have been very happy with my purchase and have no regrets. Diana went over and beyond what a real estate agent should do for his/her client and I always highly recommend her to friends and family.”
- Lisa Hutton
“Thanks Diana for your kindness and guidance in helping me purchase my first home!”
- Aaron Land
“I know you’re holding numerous Open Houses today, but just wanted to say “I LOVE MY HOUSE”! Thanks for everything you did to make it happen! Hugs, your friend and former client!!!”
- Rick and Sherrie Trucios
“When we decided to sell our home, in Huntington Beach , we interviewed three Real Estate agents. We asked each to give us an idea of our homes value. Diana’s estimate was over $60,000 more then the other two agents. We agreed to let Diana list the house, over the warning of one of the other agents that it was priced too high. Diana listed our house on Friday and we had two offers by Saturday morning at the listed price. Thank you Diana.”
- Ken & Betty Rosser
“This past Spring I was ready to list my home for sale after thinking and talking about it for nearly two years. I thought I knew which realtor I was going to use, but then I met Diana. I loved Diana’s enthusiasm so decided to give her a try. She is very well prepared, and arrived with a wonderful packet of information on how my home would be marketed. She has a passion for real estate, and she's honest, an important quality that I was looking for.
I knew the procedure in selling a home, but when you're caught up in the emotion of taking that next step forward, you have concerns that creep in. Diana was in continual contact, being on top of every detail, and when the home was in escrow, kept everyone on task to keep things moving forward. She understood my concerns and was ready with encouragement if she thought I needed it. I suggest you use PK Real Estate if you're considering buying or selling a home. I know you will be happy with your decision.”
- C. Beverley Thomas
“Working with Diana Perna has been the greatest pleasure. She listens to your needs and responds accordingly. She is great about follow up, and understands the market. She never applies pressure, but rather supplies you with needed information allowing you to make a decision.”
- Linda Lebrun
"Diana was very helpful in everything we needed from her. She was professional, kind and caring. It was a hard and trying time for us, after my dad passed we needed to figure out what we wanted to do with the house. Diana guided us and gave us great information we needed to know when listing our dads house. She made our experience less stressful and gave us good advice. We will always be greatful to Diana for all she has done for us during the listing and sale of dads house.. We think of her as a friend and the best Realtor in HUNTINGTON BEACH! Diana Rocks!”
- Karan Murphy
“My wife and I had a wonderful experience working with Diana in the sale of a home and the purchase of our dream home. Diana was honest, knowledgeable, and responsive to our many questions and concerns, including calming our anxieties that are typical with such a major life change. As a real estate broker and the owner of her own firm, she was able to reduce her commission which provided financial justification that we were making a smart move. Diana is a true professional, and kind, warm person. We can't thank her enough.”
- svw1952
“We worked with Diana Perna for both the sale of our home and purchase of our current home and everyone came out a winner! We found Diana to be a pleasure to work with, she really cares about you and wants to do a good job. We recall how Diana understood our needs and budget and respected both. During the escrow process she stays very involved and kept us informed , if there was a delay she was all over it! Diana wants to provide her customers with superior service thus if lenders do not share this business standard, she manages them. We've been wanting to be providing a review for a while and we do this with pleasure. Thank you so very much we're so very very happy!”
- Ceci
“Diana Perna and Christen King listed my home and sold it after the first open house. Every detail, recommendation, and action was immediate; the sale of my home and my satisfaction was important to them. They were not finished when the house sold. They continued to work for me until I had the check in my hand. I will gladly do business with them again.”
- Charlotte Miller
“PK Real Estate is the best! These ladies have sold for us a beach residence, rentals in San Gabriel Valley, lots in Palm Springs and Joshua Tree, and now manage our rentals. No one is more on your side or do I dare say a better negotiator for you. If you want it SOLD call PK REAL ESTATE. If you know what you want PK REAL ESTATE will help you get it. Diana Perna delivers. You won't be disappointed!”
- Terry
“Diana and her team expertly helped us sell our home getting us our full asking price. They took care of all the details and made us feel extremely comfortable with the process and the attention to detail that was required.”
- drlcrane
“I was looking for my first home back in 2011 and Diana was one of the most helpful people in my house search. Her familiarity with the City was incredibly useful. She always seemed available to provide feedback on a listing or show me a house on the market at a moments notice. She never pushed me to hurry my decision and worked with me at my pace with every detail. I was a true novice when it came to the details of buying a home and she was always there for me explaining the most mundane details.”
- hlangel 25
“I'm so glad to have someone manage my rental house. It has been well worth it to have Diana to deal with all the issues [hassles] that come with being a landlord. She is very professional and personal in all aspects of management, and I would gladly recommend her for all real estate dealings. I enjoy the friendship we have developed over time. Diana is an all around impressive gal.”
- Virginia Swift
“Super knowledgeable, responsible, and responsive. My wife and I needed to purchase a couple of homes right away. We had very specific criteria and Diana found what we were looking for. We closed on 2 houses in 2 months. She did a great job. I have already recommended many people to Diana.”
- Michael Gates
“It was a pleasure to work with Diana. I wanted to start out my search for a condo in the Huntington Beach area slowly. We discussed my wish list, and she started to email me properties she thought I would be interested in. After seeing a few condos she became familiar with my preferences. She was always available to show me a property and also to address any questions or concerns I might have had. What I appreciated most was that she was not pushy and let me go at my own pace with the house hunt. With Diana's help I found the perfect home for me!”
- kaymbel
“We were looking into helping a family friend purchase a house. Although she did not end up purchasing, Diana made us feel at ease with every interaction, every house we saw. She is such an amazing and caring soul- you can feel and know that she has your best interest in mind. She's an ACE and I would not recommend anyone else!!!”
- amykahn82
“Diana has helped buy and sell all our houses. We wouldn't think of using another realtor. She is very accessible and stays in constant communication with you which for me was so important as buys or selling houses can be stressful. She really is the best.”
- us5girls
“During a corporate re-location in 2009-2010 we gave the traditional 'big-box' Realtors almost two years to sell our home, to no avail. My wife and I had met Diana a few years prior in a neighboring tract when considering downsizing. We were both very impressed with her property knowledge and professional demeanor. We challenged her to take her BOUTIQUE REALTOR approach into the Lower Seacliff neighborhood by listing our home and see what she could do. Her concentrated marketing approach positioned our home very well, especially in a detrimental market. The house was in escrow in just a few months. The closing went very smooth as did our relationship with the buyers which often gets overlooked by the big-box folks.”

“Diana Perna is a realtor like no other. She takes the time to to understand what you want and helped us tremendously in finding a house in an area that has great schools and a very family oriented atmosphere , while we were living in Colorado. She made the moving process easier for us. Her services truly go above and beyond the sale.”
- solyshaun
“I have worked with several local real estate agents and Diana is the best for several reasons. I looked in Beachwalk with an agent who just wanted to sell my house as cheaply as possible and never followed up to find me a place there. A friend referred me to Diana who lives there and she found my place as the other agent was putting the sign in the ground and negotiated a great deal. She sold my other home in less that 2 weeks for over asking price after bringing in a handyman and professionl photographer and stager all at her expense. She is present at all appraisals to explain why the rental gut job accross the street sold for far less. She is a broker/owner great negotiator. She staye in consistent contact after the sale with marketing information and useful goodies. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family.”

“When my husband and I initially listed our home in HB, we went with an extremely very well know agent, that we only got to meet once. From then on we could never talk to or see him. We had to deal with his assistant. The only time we met the agent was the initial meeting and setting the list price of our home. Of course, he catered to our ego and was so far above the other agents price, we felt he must know what he's talking about. However, within a couple of weeks, they said we had to reduce our listing price to what other agents we interviewed had said was realistic for the area, square footage, etc. Diana is not that type of agent. Needless to say, we quickly ended that listing and listed with Diana. She is extremely honest, hard working, knowledgeable, and is available to show you property and answer questions and be there for you throughout the whole overwhelming process of selling and/or buying a property. It is hard to believe she is able to do all this and not pass you off to an assistant, such as many other agents feel they need to do. And she does all of this with such a great temperament! She listens to what your needs and concerns are and definitely has your best interest at heart. She sold our property, helped us purchase another, then we recommended her to a family member and two friends, and she went on to sell their properties and purchase new ones. We would never consider another agent, Diana is the best!!”

“Diana is a professional that cares about her clients. Not just the sale of her clients. She combines needs with desires and finds solutions for both in this very competitive field, along with our ever-changing financial position not just as a state, but also as a country. I highly recommend Ms.Perna as well as her staff to only people that want results. In closing, my occupation stems in the logistic industry, and to move any type of real estate; whether it be private or business, Ms.Perna will bring you the results needed to make the transaction a successful one.”
- Brenda L. Barker
“PK Real Estate (Diana Perna) has not only been managing our property for the last 5 years but also coordinating any tenant issues or finding new tenants. We live in another state and it is comforting to know that Diana is not only watching and maintaining the property but treats the property like her own. She is professional and responsive. I would highly recommend PK Real Estate for your rental or property management.”

“Choosing Diana as our Realtor to help us buy our first home was one of the first and best decisions my husband and I made together. Diana is very professional, easy and fun to work with. She is knowledgeable, experienced, communicative and works within the parameters you give to her. She is patient and never pushes her clients to make choices just to get a deal done. She really understands the market, especially in the Orange County area. One of my favorite things I loved about working with Diana is that she made buying a house a learning experience. She took the time to explain everything to us. When we made our first offer on a house, she sat down with us and explained every single document we signed so it was clear to us what we were signing. She is very thorough. We never felt rushed and she made sure all of our questions were answered. I always felt like she gave us honest advice and that we could trust her. We never felt pressured into buying a home. She always said to us, don't rush, the right home is out there for you and you will know it when you walk through the door. She was so right. Our first home was the perfect start up home for my husband and I, we couldn't have been happier. In 2012 our family had grown and it was time to look for a bigger home. Without any hesitation, we called up Diana and she got the ball rolling for us again. She not only helped us get into our dream home, she also helped us with a short sale. She took care of EVERY little detail and made what I thought would be a very long and challenging process, a very easy one! Diana Perna is truly the best! She has nothing but the clients interests in mind. Buying or selling, I can say Diana is on your side.”
- Jody King
“PK Real Estate found and sold us a Condo in Huntington Beach after learning that we were interested in relocating from Torrance to be near to where our daughter lived. Diana at the same time expedited the sale of our Torrance house. Diana and her sister Christen have knowledge and access to complete immediate loan requirements, escrow requirements, and title recording. The most important thing that I can state is that they are totally honest and upright in their business dealings.”
- Brian Markley
“Diana and Christen of PK Real Estate are masters of Huntington Beach real estate.
As new buyers, we were not familiar with all of the details a realtor handles in a transaction, but all of the staff at PK Real Estate hit it out of the park. The attention to detail and the rapid response to questions were greatly appreciated (we can be a little overbearing and nervous) - but we felt totally comfortable knowing we were in great hands.
If you need a realtor you can trust, call PK!”
- Andrea Stockert
“Diana of PK Real Estate has been my realtor in both purchase and selling situations. Since she is very knowledgeable of real estate values in your area, she helped us come up with a fair, yet profitable list price. She was sensitive to our needs and met each one. When selling, she brought solid clients, which made the sale quick and painless.”
- campagne123
“When deciding to sell my home, I had prayed that the Lord would bring just the right person into my life to do the job and He lead me directly to Diana Perna. My sister had utilized Diana's services for both selling and buying a replacement home and was very happy with her services. Now Diana has done the same for me. She helped me to sell my home in Bellflower and purchase a home in Seal Beach. She is excellent at what she does and I would use her services again for any of my real estate needs. She is professional, has integrity, does great work, and always right on top of things. I continue to recommend her highly to family and friends.”
- Sandy Tessier
“Diana sold my home and found me a new one. Everything went smoothly. Escrow closed in 30 days. She's a generous person and worked with me in saving money. She also does much for the community we both live in.”
- Carol Sidell
“Diana Perna was the best agent I have ever had the pleasure to work with. She is smart and knowledgable and knows real estate inside and out. I would work with her again in a heartbeat.”
- gaylew6
“Diana and Christen of PK Real Estate are just the BEST at what they do! My wife and I have sold one house through them and purchased two. All of these transactions involved a lot of negotiation and the nurturing and encouragement of all the participants. PK was excellent with each of these challenges. They were always available, knew what was going on, and had great people that they worked with who could get things done quickly and very affordably. We ended up with what is a perfect house for us in the beautiful community of Beachwalk, and it cost us far less than we could ever have imagined. We are so grateful to PK Real Estate; we would not be in our home without them.”

“Diana was very professional and she has a warm personal touch. She eased my mind and made my first time byer experience a breeze. I would highly recommend her to my family and friends.”
- bridgetjsrn
“Diana helped sell the house I did live in and buy the one I'm in now. She's a very hard working lady. She always kept me up to date on all paperwork. She held open houses every weekend if possible. Looking for a house to buy took a while because I was very picky. She never got frustrated. She was always there to talk to or go out on the weekend to look for another property. She's a nice ,funny, talkative person with a great personality. She worked hard to get the best price and finance rates for my house. If there were any problems after the purchase I knew I could call her and she would return the call and help me out. She knows the business and is very professional. I've been in this house for 5 years, called her the other day with some questions about a real estate situation and it was just like we talked yesterday. She went out of her way to get back to me with very important information I needed. She's reliable, dependable and knowledgable.”
- cgraham1508
“There were multiple offers on the condo I purchased and I'm sure her reputation with the other agents helped in having our offer chosen and accepted. Diana was flexible when I adjusted some of the parameters of my price range and requirements, and continued to find and negotiate my property.”

“PK Real Estate has represented my husband and me in the selling and purchasing of two homes - selling our home in Huntington Beach, purchasing and selling a home in San Diego and most recently, purchasing our home in Long Beach, CA. When it came time to sell the home in San Diego, we never hesitated calling PK Real Estate even though they are located in Orange County. They were extremely attentive in our San Diego sale as if their office was located down the street. In purchasing and selling, they advised and represented us masterfully giving us confidence. All transactions were very smooth and we were informed as to the status all along the way. Buying and selling can be especially stressful and PK Real Estate is a delight to work with easing the stress of moving. We highly recommend them!”
- jillgkuhns
“We just finished working with Diana Perna and her team at PK real estate to represent us as sellers and buyers (of our dream home - yaya!). We had lots of questions and Diana took the time to educate us. She is incredibly well-connected with a great group of people (lenders, inspectors, etc.) that we felt like we could truly trust. Diana worked hard to relieve the stress of going through a very fast escrow, and we really appreciated that kind of service.”
- Connie Hurst
“I feel lucky to have been paired up with her through a coworker that I trust. She was wonderful to me, and for me. I'm a single woman with ZERO real estate knowledge. I was confident in her ability to direct me. I appreciate her patience with my questions, hesitations, and needs. I would, and have, recommend her to my friends and family. I missed her after the transaction was finished; I wish I saw her more often now!!!!”
