I was raised in sunny Newport Beach in Southern California, and it was in 1990 I moved to Rogers, AR and attended the University of Arkansas. I received my Masters in Counseling in 1997. I met my husband in high school and we’ve been married for 28 years. We have 4 children, Mason (25), McKane (24), Mo (21), and our sweet daughter Maiya (18). We have been blessed by lots of family having been in our industry from engineers, architects, interior designers, and builders. So we’ve been around this industry for a while. My husband and I started Martin Building Group in 1995 and have been blessed to have designed/built many homes over the years all with different types of architecture. We currently are bringing a new architecture design to Northwest Arkansas that is Coastal Transitional and we are very excited about this because it’s our heritage of where we grew up.
My passion is connecting people and designing homes. As founder of Wendy Martin Living, the interior design of homes and serving people find commonplace in my designs for MBG’s Coastal Living Collection and serving as a Real Estate Sales Agent with Prime Real Estate and Development. Fueling this work passion is a purpose around truth and life relationships found in my faith. I am also involved in engaging and training women to grow and reproduce their personal relationships with Jesus, husbands, families, and friends.
"Diane is so personable, knowledgeable, and hard working! She's helped my family with multiple houses and has been very insightful when we've needed it the most. She cares deeply about her clients and is sure to convince you of it! She makes the process very efficient and stress-free, which is especially important in a hot market like NWA where a lot is going on."
"So thankful for the exceptional work Diane did for us. She stayed in contact in regards to the overall process, paperwork and scheduling. The resources she provided made the process easier and simpler."
"This amazing husband and wife team rocks! The Shepherd Group helped us find the home of our dreams and sold our home in a week and a half, WOW! They were so supportive in the whole process... Christen was able to remember all the details and James was our voice when things got tough. We couldn't be more pleased - If you're thinking about buying real estate, this is the team you want by your side!"
