More about Diana Blair

I work in a small, picturesque town in Southwest Virginia that has a HUGE national presence! Yes, Blacksburg Virginia population around 29,000 is home to Virginia Tech, & the Hokies...plus it is the place that I adore!  From my office window on North Main Street, I can see the VT campus on Prices Fork Road!  I have a fantastic view and a great perspective on our area so please contact me if you have questions.

Why The 8 in RE/MAX 8?

When people hear about RE/MAX 8 they often ask, "So why the 8?" When our owner named our company, RE/MAX 8, the concept of using a number as a name was a unique idea! 

I love our name because it is so easy to remember and use!  The number 8 symbolizes good fortune. There are many other special reasons why we are RE/MAX 8. I look forward to sharing many of them with you in the future if you are curious. Check out our website at http://www.WhyThe8.com to learn more about our great office!

Testimonials

 Referring Diana to All of My Friends

 

Relocation Expert

We Needed Temporary Housing 

"Moving to Blacksburg without my pregnant wife was the only choice that I thought we had...until we walked into the Diana's office.  She helped us find temporary housing even though we had two huge dogs, and she even helped us find a great obstretrician. Then, when our home sold in Virginia Beach, she helped us find the perfect home too. Diana is a professional who treated us like family!"

B. Norton

Blacksburg, VA

 Long Distance Communication!

"We first started communicating with Diana when we visited the Yahoo.com real estate site.  She answered our questions for eleven months before helping us find the perfect agent in her office to help us. We were concerned about local schools and transfering our daughter's AP credits, she patiently pointed us in the right direction so many times..."

G. Matney

Radford, VA

An Expert About the Community 

"Diana helped me find a home for my son and his fiancee while he completes his doctorate at Virginia Tech.  I needed help finding local painters, someone to do yard work, and a plumber. She told me where Thomas can shop for international foods and buy fresh seafood! Diana is a fabulous resource of local information.  She is better than the yellow pages!"

To Buy or To Rent

1031 Tax Exchanges

"We really didn't know much about buying a townhome for our two children attending college in Blacksburg.  Thank goodness that we called Diana Blair!  She helped explain the tax advantages of buying versus renting.  Diana referred us to an accountant and real estate attorney who helped us shelter our real estate gains using a 1031 Tax Exchange. She advised us about the differences in buying a townhome versus a condominium. We didn't know that buying a townhome  would make a difference in our mortgage... I wanted our children in an area that was convenient to campus but not party central. Her advise was wonderful!  We will call Diana in three years when our children graduate!"
