Meet Diane Ilg – Your In-House Closing Coordinator

Diane lived aboard and cruised on the West Coast to Hawaii, and on to finally arrive in Annapolis years later. Diane built a beautiful cruising ketch with her husband and they went cruising in the times not long ago when you had to know celestial navigation. Her sextant makes a nice office conversation piece!

Nowadays, Diane is quite comfortable at the helm in our beautiful Annapolis office, guiding buyers and sellers through the intricacies of yacht transactions.
