Testimonials

After more than 2 years elsewhere, Diane and RE/MAX sold our property in 3 months. We especially liked the no-nonsense, experienced and honest business we received. We have no reservations in recommending them.

Ernest & Anne Skinner

Of course, I would be pleased to be a reference for First Choice's integrity and professionalism. When we built our house we transferred a large amount of money to their accounts to pay the builder as the work progressed. In retrospect, anyone with less integrity could have used this as an opportunity for personal gain. Our account was handled professionally and all records were transparent and forward looking. We continue to use First Choice to care for our home in San Carlos and Luisa and the rest of the staff are pleasant and easy to work with. I don't believe there are any concerns with integrity or professionalism. If other agencies are willing to do your job for less, I believe you get what you pay for and the service they would receive might be less than what First Choice would provide for similar work. We look forward to a continued relationship with Tom, Diane and the rest of the staff at First Choice Property Management.

Working with Diane Barroll was an absolute pleasure. She was very knowledgeable about the Mexican real estate market, demonstrated great ethics and integrity in all her interactions with me, and worked diligently to promote and market my properties. I would not hesitate to work with Diane again to meet my real estate needs.

I met Diane through a series of Arizona-Sonora real estate conferences and then the Arizona Mexico Commission. I find Diane to be very knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate, especially helping foreign investors work through the real estate transaction in Mexico. She is a person of integrity and a leader in her community and the industry. She actively promotes education and professionalism in the real estate industry in Mexico.
