Blake and Diana Roberts Group

What Blake and Diana Roberts Group does

Blake and Diana Roberts Group, operating as Diana Roberts ATX Real Estate, is a luxury residential real estate advisory practice based in Austin, Texas. The firm is built around Diana Roberts, a solo advisor who holds a Texas Licensed General Appraiser designation (the highest appraisal credential in Texas), has been a licensed California Broker since 2003 and a Texas Agent since 2021, holds an International Marketing degree from the University of Oxford, and ranks in the Top 1% of real estate professionals nationwide with $600M+ in career sales. The practice operates as an agent team under Compass brokerage, not as an independent brokerage, and provides residential buying, selling, off-market/private market, and certified home valuation and appraisal services to luxury buyers, sellers, corporate relocators (especially California-to-Austin moves), and high-net-worth individuals across Austin's western Hill Country sub-markets (Serene Hills, Lakeway, Westlake, Bee Cave, Barton Creek, Lake Travis).

The core product is hands-on buyer and seller representation, augmented by certified appraisal services that produce opinions acceptable to banks, courts, and estates. The underlying technology is the Compass real estate platform, which provides MLS access, Coming Soon pre-marketing to a 60 million buyer network on Compass.com and Redfin.com, and a Neighborhood Explorer market-data tool. Distribution combines the Compass channel, private exclusives and off-market transactions, and an owned content ecosystem including the Diana TV YouTube channel, Inside Austin Blog, and Serene Hills Monthly newsletter. Historical clients (from the California practice, 2003–2020) include Google, Apple, LA Lakers, LA Kings, LA Galaxy, Fox Studios, Columbia/Sony Pictures, Viacom/MTV, ICANN, Skechers, and PGA Tour professionals.

The business model is traditional real estate commission: Diana earns a transaction-fee percentage on each buy or sell she closes, with additional revenue from certified appraisal engagements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Customer concentration is high because the firm is effectively a one-person production engine with all revenue tied to Diana Roberts' personal transaction activity, and segment concentration is equally high in luxury Austin residential. The firm is privately held with no disclosed funding, no institutional investors, and no parent company.
