Diane Giraudo McDermott is a native of Albuquerque, New Mexico.  She graduated from the University of New Mexico with a Bachelor of Science degree in Education.  After teaching in the public schools for several years in New Mexico and California, she moved into sales and marketing— focusing on print media advertising.  In 1983 she purchased her first piece of real estate in California.  Currently, Diane is the president and owner of DGM Solutions, Inc., a real estate investment company that purchases foreclosure and tax auction properties to hold or remodel and re-sell.  She owns real estate in New Mexico, California, and Oregon.  Diane is a member of two real estate groups, Invest in Debt and ABQ Congress on Real Estate (ACRE).  The primary focus of these groups is to provide solid knowledgeable education and networking for real estate investors.  Throughout her life, Diane has always been a creative problem solver and an advocate of animal rights.  In 2009, she organized and managed the sale of a house through a raffle benefiting a no-kill animal shelter and she has since consulted on several house raffles.  She also offers workshops for homeowners, real estate agents, and fundraising directors of nonprofit organizations on the subject of house raffles.  Diane’s personal goal is to continuously support America’s no-kill animal shelters—“Domesticated animals are innocent and completely subject to the choices man has made for them. I see them as a wonderful expression of an idea that started in the mind of God. I believe we owe them compassionate care.”
