CRS: Certified Residential Specialist®

MY PROFILE

I am a native Houstonian and familiar with its ever-changing market conditions. I began my career out of college as an engineer in the oil and gas industry. I later discovered my real passion is real estate. Real estate has allowed me to use my natural talents (listening, empathizing, communicating, and applying competence) to the favorable benefit of many others. My engineering background enables me to provide the attention to detail and scrutiny real estate transactions require. The Romar Team later evolved to provide improved efficiency and service to our clients. Together we provide over 30 years of experience in real estate. Our specialized marketing plan and work systems allow us to provide premium services to our clients during and long past the transaction's completion. We never go away. My team and I remain students in the industry and continue to seek ways to improve and grow. Most of our business is by referral from clients who have enjoyed a trustworthy, competent, and professional service, and who want the same for their friends, family, and co-workers. Earning and maintaining their trust is paramount. We seek to provide our clients with a great experience, not just excellent customer service. After all, we are Your Castle Keys Connector.

Diane is a Texas licensed BROKER, holds other coveted real estate designations including: CRS - Certified Residential Specialists, the MCNE - Master Certified Negotiation Expert (one of only a few in the country), as well as the SRES - Senior Real Estate Specialists, where she has received additional training on helping and assisting the over 50 generation.

Joann Lammons is a native New Orleanian who grew up in a real estate family. Some of her earliest memories are of her parents, independent real estate brokers, negotiating contracts and attending open houses. That early exposure was influential, and since joining Martha Turner Properties, later Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty, in 1999 as a recognized top producer, Joann has been included in the coveted Circle of Excellence every year.

Highly motivated and technologically sophisticated, Joann asserts that technology distinguishes serious agents. “I make it a point to take at least one technology update class a year along with my MCE,” she states. Joann seeks a balance of buyers and sellers, believing this equips her with insight and understanding of both sides and allows “not only successful closings but happy ones.”

Relocation clients are a particular strength for Joann, whose husband is a 30-year energy company executive. She works hard to ensure smooth transitions for transferees and their families, particularly into the Memorial area, where she is a long-time resident, and the Energy and Western Corridors. Joann also enjoys significant business in Galveston’s West Beach where her family has a second home.

In addition to membership in the Circle of Excellence and Hall of Fame, Joann has received a number of other MTSIR awards for outstanding production including Most Closed Listings 2008, Most Closed Buyers 2006; Most Outgoing Referrals 2003, 2004, 2007; Most Transactions 2001, 2004; Top Salesperson June, 2004, September, 2010; and Listing Leader July, 2002, April 2010, and June 2010. Pinnacle Achiever - 2020, Quarter Top Producer 2015 - 2020.

Joann is fluent in Spanish and holds a bachelor’s degree in conversational Spanish and Spanish literature from Tulane University. Her studies included a year abroad at the University of Madrid. She holds a Master of International Management from the American Graduate School of International management (Thunderbird University) in Glendale, Arizona.

A long time resident of the Memorial area, Joann has lived in the Cayman Islands and Europe. She is married and the mother of two grown children. Over the years, she has been an active volunteer with Frostwood and Bunker Hill Elementary Schools, Memorial Middle and Memorial High schools, Spring Branch Independent School District activities, St. Cecilia Catholic Church, Fonn Villas Home Owners Association, VICTORY/American Cancer Society, and neighborhood sports groups. Joann’s interests include scuba diving, cruising and world travel.

Closing day has taken on a whole new meaning now that I get to see, first hand, how my efforts make the American Dream of home ownership possible.

As an Army Veteran of the Vietnam War myself, I greatly admire the men and women who make personal sacrifices to serve their community and country. I am appreciative of the opportunity to give something extra back to those serving this great nation. I can vividly recall the reception that Vietnam Veterans received upon returning home and am immensely proud to provide special benefits to Military Personnel, First Responders, Teachers, Health Professionals and others who make our community a better place to live.

Such Community Warriors will receive a closing contribution, for their real estate purchases and sales, equivalent to at least 30% of what I earn on each such transaction.

I am proud to be a licensed Broker in the State of Texas. As such, I focus on Residential Properties located in the Greater Houston Metroplex as wellas Farm & Ranch Property throughout Texas and Probate Real Estate.

I offer my energy, friendliness, professionalism and strong business background as a problem solver who pays great attention to detail to guarantee you dedicated customer service. With great pride, I am a member of the Houston Association of Realtors®, the Texas Association of Realtors® and the National Association of Realtors® and I am the Farm & Ranch Director for KW Professionals.
