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!

For over twenty years, Diane Ilg has been an essential part of our team and an invaluable resource for our clients. Nowadays, Diane is quite comfortable at the helm in our beautiful Annapolis office, guiding buyers and sellers through the intricacies of yacht transactions. Diane’s expertise spans every detail of the yacht ownership process, ensuring that every aspect of the sale—whether legal paperwork, financing, or registration—is handled seamlessly. Clients buying or selling a boat, large or small, can rest assured knowing they are in Diane's capable hands.
