Diana Burton moved in 2000 to the United States from The Netherlands where she had lived most of her life, with her husband, an American astronomy professor who had spent most of his professional life in The Netherlands. She holds a Bachelors Degree in Dutch History, a Masters Degree and ABD in American Colonial History from the University of Leyden, The Netherlands. Diana had owned several real estate companies in The Hague, Netherlands, since 1973, specializing in serving the expatriate community. The Burton family has several children and grandchildren, all now residing in the United States. Diana is an avid reader, be it history or great fiction, and a passionate equestrian, having trained in advanced Dressage. She herself lives in a historic Virginia Waterfront home on the shores of the East River, overlooking the Chesapeake Bay, where she enjoys many a sunset sailing cruise.
Diana returned to real estate in 2004 and has since built up an impressive Virginia waterfront portfolio. She is a consistent PLATINUM Producer in the Chesapeake Bay and Rivers Association of Realtors and a TOP Producer for IsaBell K. Horsley Real Estate. Diana covers territory from the Potomac to the York Rivers with a specialty for the Chesapeake Bay, Rappahanock, Corrotoman, and Piankatank Rivers, Mobjack Bay, and all tributaries in between.
Diana has been able to combine her love for American colonial history with her deep interest in the gorgeous historic homes and estates on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay and it’s tributary rivers. She has also enjoyed practicing what she preached to the real estate agents working for her in The Netherlands: that if you are in real estate, you are 100% committed to giving service to your clients.
