DIANE AND THE TEAM
Diane Cardano-Casacio
Diane Cardano-Casacio (MBA-Marketing, GRI, CRS) (ext.117) is an accomplished real estate consultant whose primary focus is changing people’s lives by helping them protect one of the largest financial investments that they own…their home. Diane has studied and analyzed the specific needs of Empty Nesters and Move-Up Home Sellers when it comes time to start thinking about selling their home and moving on to the next stage of their life. Since 1993 Diane has been specializing in listing homes and has always wanted to make sure every Future Home Seller knew of the specific ways they needed to market, stage, and price their homes different from their competition. Since 2008, several thousand Future Home Sellers have attended Diane’s Home Seminars. Based on over 27 years of selling real estate, her seminars are revolutionary and present top secret information about the real estate process, and the catastrophe that 95% of home sellers lose thousands of dollars when selling their home.
Diane has an MBA in Marketing from Temple University and a BS in Marketing from Penn State University. She is the Owner/President and an Associate Broker of CARDANO, REALTORS® located in Abington, PA. She holds many high-level certifications such as a CRS, GRI, and ASP.
Her thousands of transactions and satisfied customers ensure that over 90% of her clients today come from referral and repeat clients. She has been a local resident of Montgomery County since 1960, and learned the real estate business from her father, Jim Cardano, Sr a real estate Broker & Custom Home Builder. Diane was touring people through her father’s sample homes when she was 5 years old, so Diane can say “I have been in real estate since I was 5 years old!” Diane also spends some of her busy days working with her Brother Jim Cardano, Jr selling his new construction, Custom Built homes.
Diane and Her Team are considered industry experts in selling residential real estate. They are not afraid to divulge their secrets to the more Traditional Realtors®. Knowing about her secrets is one thing, however, execution is quite another. The Market is changing every day, and so do Diane’s high-tech and savvy techniques.
Diane spent 30 years as an Abington resident and attended Ancillae Academy, Abington High School, Penn State University, and then off to Temple for her MBA. Diane now resides in Flourtown, Whitemarsh Township, with her husband and partner Stan Casacio, who is an established Real Estate Investment Broker, Developer, and Appraiser in Montgomery and Philadelphia counties.
Diane was drawn back to Abington in 2008 when Diane & her husband Stan built a beautiful office building at 1021 Old York Road, across from the Abington Library and she opened up her own real estate company, CARDANO Realtors ®. Diane felt that the Traditional Realtor® model did not result in the best financial outcome for her clients, and built her model based on the Customer Experience Timeline.
Diane oversees the Team, consults with Buyers & Sellers, negotiates agreements, determines the market value of properties, stages homes to sell, creates strategic marketing for each client, handles all referrals, and attends Mastery training. She loves to play Golf (6 handicap), Work Out, Spinning, Meditate, Water Ski, Sky Ski, Snow Ski, Snowboard, the Beach (Hawaii is her favorite), Visiting cousins in Italy, and Traveling to fun new places. Diane also brings to the table her everyday morning rituals, her integrity, her passion, competitiveness, persistence, and drive to give 110% of herself in everything she does! A true one-of-a-kind!
