A Nebraska native, Dianne has lived in Jackson Hole for over four decades. Her education in business ownership, interior design, and sales led her into the real estate world of Jackson Hole with her husband, Chad Budge. With over 30 years of experience in real estate, she helped found Jackson Hole Real Estate Associates, a brokerage that started from the ground in 2009 and grew to be the largest locally owned brokerage in Jackson Hole until it was eventually sold to a corporate brand. Previously, Dianne was a partner and broker with Teton Shadows Realty before selling to Sotheby’s International Realty and acting as their responsible broker. She was also a past treasurer of the Teton Board of REALTORS®.
Dianne and her husband Chad enjoy their time together on their boat at Jackson Lake. Her most recent pursuit is in motorcycle riding on scenic road trips. She also enjoys spending time with her five grandchildren who keep her very busy.
