Dianne’s love of and success in the real estate industry has grown over an action-filled career, and is the logical result of all that has gone before.

Over 48 years of married life, and while raising three wonderful children (she is now grandmother to five), she and her husband have owned or leased eight substantial hospitality operations.

The acquisition and sale of these businesses has given Dianne an insight into complex agreements and prepared her well for her current role. She has dealt with every level of professional advisor and now has an extensive knowledge of title issues, marketing strategies, the operation of trust accounts, best business practice and of course the all-important real estate activities of listing and selling, negotiation, and staff recruitment, training and motivation.

Another step into a real estate career was personally buying and selling her own investment properties, learning the processes of due diligence and calculating financial returns. She became very familiar with real estate documentation over the years, and this has led to her current role as one of Paihia’s most successful salespeople.

Dianne became a qualified salesperson in 2000, completed her National Diploma in 2005 and with her husband opened Dianne Quinn Real Estate, initially operating as an independent company until being invited to join the Ray White group. After successful years in operation, Dianne has now decided to concentrate fully on selling in a professional manner, which is what she has always wanted to be focused on.

Dianne brings enormous positive energy to a business competing in a diverse and competitive market. Any spare time she can conjure up is spent gardening, boating and fishing, and most of all giving even more of her energy to her well-loved grandchildren.

The highlight of the year is being involved in the organising of the Blu Heelers Charitable Fishing Tournament. All the money raised is donated to the Anglers chosen charity.

All of the fish are auctioned loyally to give our community an opportunity to purchase fresh fish on the day they are caught. All money raised is donated to our Anglers chosen Charity with no expenses deducted.

This is such a rewarding cause and always brings the biggest smiles to my face knowing the outcome of the generosity of my Anglers. A huge thank you to them.
