Diana Bisselle About Diana Member of The Legacy Team

Global Real Estate Advisor

Licensed in CT, NY, and MA

Diana Imperatore Bisselle's career is defined by the convergence of financial acuity and luxury real estate mastery. Having successfully navigated the complexities of global finance as an Emerging Markets Investment Professional, she has brought that same commanding expertise to the Tri-State area's beautiful and unique real estate landscape across CT, NY, and MA. This transition from Wall Street to Main Street is a testament to her belief in the power of "local expertise, global connections."

As a third-generation Connecticut resident, Diana’s understanding of Litchfield County and Fairfield Counties (CT), Dutchess and Columbia Counties (NY), and Berkshire County (MA) is both intrinsic and encyclopedic. Her deep roots in the regional brokerage community trace back to her family’s ownership of the esteemed Waugh Real Estate, instilling a legacy of professional integrity and exceptional client service - values underpinning The Legacy Team, which she founded in their honor.

Diana’s real estate counsel is informed by two decades in international finance. Based in NYC, she served as an Emerging Markets Portfolio Manager and Equity Salesperson at leading global investment banks and a hedge fund, specializing in Russia, Eastern Europe, Turkey, and the Middle East. She holds a BA in International Relations and Soviet Studies from Boston University and a MA/MBA in Politics and Finance from NYU, offering clients a distinct advantage: market insight shaped by the rigor of global capital markets.

Now residing in Lakeville, CT (after twenty years in Old Greenwich and Darien) Diana serves as a key liason between Fairfield and Litchfield Counties. With deep familial roots in Millbrook, NY, she is also able to seamlessly cover Dutchess County as well.

Licensed in CT, NY, and MA, fluent in Russian, and supported by the global reach of Sotheby’s International Realty, she provides comprehensive, high-level representation. She is also a Board Member of the Lakeville Community Conservancy.

Diana is a wonderful broker who was thorough in her attention to detail with all closing documents. She was also anticipatory with the buyer's needs. But most of all, she was available always and so thoughtful. I recommend Diana highly. Lee F Potter Nicholas F Potter

Testimonials
I recently had the pleasure of working with Diana Bisselle on the purchase of my second home—my first outside of the city—and I cannot recommend her highly enough. As a second-time home buyer venturing into new territory, I was incredibly grateful to have such a kind, knowledgeable, and steady adviser by my side throughout the process. From our very first conversation, Diana demonstrated a deep understanding of the entire Hudson Valley market and provided thoughtful, candid advice every step of the way. Her warmth and professionalism made what could have been a stressful experience feel manageable and even enjoyable. What really stood out to me was her support after the contract was signed. She connected me with a number of excellent local contacts, was always available for questions big or small, and truly went above and beyond to ensure a smooth path to closing—and even after that, she has continued to check in and offer help. That level of care is rare and deeply appreciated. Everything worked out wonderfully, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Diana again or recommend her to others (and candidly look forward to recommending her as much as possible!). She’s a true professional, and a pleasure to work with. Kevin Lacerda

Diana was an absolutely perfect agent for us as first time home buyers. From our first interaction on the phone she was warm, friendly and interested in learning more about us to help us find the perfect home. She offered great advice/direction and was always responsive and timely. She was always early for appointments/showings and always new the right questions to ask the sellers agents about things that we often overlooked or just didn't know to ask. Once it came time to makeing offers she was so helpful getting us to a competitive offer that we felt good about. After that she was exceptional and extremely timely at explaining the steps and guiding us from inspections all the way to closing. We will recommend Diana to anyone looking for a property her territory. Elizabeth Juusola Peter Juusola

If first impressions are anything, Diana is a best-case win for your company. From our first phone call to the moment she escorted me to the lawyer's office, I was always met with a pleasant, calming, smile; exacting knowledge of the area (used mainly to gently guide me away from seeing properties she knew would not be a good fit for me); professionalism; accessibility; and the constant feeling that I could trust her guidance every step of the way. I know whom I'll be calling in the future. Thank you. David Beahm

Testimonials
Working with Diana was an absolute pleasure throughout the entire process, from initial viewing to closing. Dealing with a Foreclosure property was complicated and daunting, but Diana was extremely dedicated to our vision of preserving an 1860's farmhouse. Diana aggressively pursued potential problems to find solutions, whether it was researching town hall records, site visits, or local guidance. As a Sharon resident, Diana really cares about the community as well as her clients and it genuinely shows. I would highly recommend working with Diana Bisselle on any project. Sincerely, Tom & Lizzie Thoma Pillar & Elizabeth Gill
