Beverly & Coastal Property Advisor with Engel & Völkers By the Sea https://linktr.ee/dianthaphothisan I'm here to help you.

Thank you 2025, you've been awesome! My word for the year was AND, like from the movie "Dude Where's My Car" where the order-taker keeps asking "and then?", as in what more, because there IS more to come, that type of the meaning of AND.

Why this photo to sum up 2025? I'll share more about that in a sec. First, I have to say how happy I am that we were able to buy MY childhood dream home this year. Does everyone have a childhood dream home, or just me? Every time we are all in the car and either leave or come back to the house, I say "can you believe it? it's ours! this is our house! isn't it amazing" and we all agree, it is.

So this photo is my last Christmas present, which just arrived yesterday. I could have created a montage-like-reel, or a photo collage, there are so many high points I could share and add, but this one photo has everything in it.

Yes, it is a new MacBook. It is also a box of gratitude. It is allowing others to give to me by being a grateful recipient. It is the joy in the givers eyes. It is love. It is laughter. It is recognizing I'm worthy of this too. It is even pride, but in a good way.

Gratitude for many things, including my clients, who always have a choice and pick me! It was allowing my husband to give me this, when I always try to talk him into no gifts (though I cheat and sneak him some, I know, not fair). It was accepting gifts from friends that seemed too generous, but not saying anything other than thank you. It is laughing at myself when my husband explained all the reasons I should accept his gift, including the fact that I was using a Frankenstein computer built more than a half-decade ago from even older parts and pieces and that no one earning what I earn would be that frugal. Which led me to realizing there were still parts of myself that I didn't deem worthy enough. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem spending money on good eats/drinks with people I love and of course, on IYKYK but I enjoy spending my money on helping others and celebrating people I love. And as for pride? It is knowing I set business goals and broke them, which helped allow all the ways we as a family loved on others this year and brought us to live in my dream home here in Beverly, MA.

I know the best is yet to come in 2026, as one always believes when you're an optimist. Can't wait!

Look at my sweet new listing! 🍬🏠
BMS 5th graders turned gingerbread houses into full-on real estate listings—complete with presentations, salesmanship, and impressive write-ups. The creativity was next level, but the best part? They had an absolute blast doing it.
Also… I may have scouted a few potential future interns along the way. 😉

I have been hanging on to glasses so I could donate them. The oldest pair is from when I lived in India - omgosh! that was 10 years ago! It was important to me to get them to the right program. Did you know that The Lions Club (not as talked about as Rotary Club but old like it and formed back when only men could join) collects them and has a program that cleans, repairs, measures the prescription and then gets them to those in need who can't afford eyeglasses? They now do the same for hearing aids (or maybe they've done that for a long time and I didn't know). And, they partner with Walmart which has a collection bin. So yes, I am going to plan a trip to Wally World - as a certain, loud by nature, Texas gentleman used to call it. Do you have old glasses or hearing aids lying around and want me to take them for you? I'd be happy to pick up from you or have you drop off to me in Beverly. You can add a comment below and we can connect.

Christmas 2025 in our dream home! Deep gratitude to everyone who has loved and supported us and helped us make this dream a reality. What a wonderful feeling to return home last night and see the snow, our Christmas lights at the front door, and know this tiny bungalow, that I’ve loved since I was a little girl is ours ❤️

Sending love to everyone and our hope that you be happy, know you are loved, and have all that you need ❤️ Diantha, Vithaya & Laila

Grateful for connections like this. 💛

A huge thank you to Jarrod for referring his customer to me to explore their options for a move — that trust truly means a lot. Being part of these early conversations and helping people understand what’s possible is something I really value, and I’m thankful to be included.

If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just want to talk through what a move could look like, I’m always here as a resource and happy to help.

My baby had her first chorus concert last night. She loves the middle school music teacher and says he’s quite sassy - she says this with a big smile. We saw how much the kids all lit up when he faced them or spoke to them between songs. Love seeing how much all the grade levels seem to really be having fun and enjoying chorus. A great teacher makes all the difference. Laila wanted to hide but due to my genes, she’s short and was front row 😂

Still smiling over this one. 💛

A big thank you to Yash and Divya for connecting me with their friend — I’m so grateful for the trust and support. It’s an honor to be part of such a major life moment, and I’m always reminded how much relationships matter in this business.

If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just want to talk through your options, I’m always here and happy to help you make your next move with confidence.

💌 Once a month, I send out something that feels a lot more like a letter to friends than a real estate email.

It’s called my newsletter, but it’s really a mix of personal stories, local life, and housing insights around Beverly and the North Shore.

Each issue includes:
📸 A personal note + photos from my month
🏡 Market trends for Beverly, Essex County & Massachusetts
🗓️ Local events you might want to check out
💡 Home tips and interesting reads
🌟 A spotlight on a local small business

It’s just one email a month (and sometimes a little sneak peek of new listings 😉). No spam, no fluff, just a genuine way to stay connected.

If that sounds like something you’d enjoy, you can sign up here: https://tinyurl.com/2hn79mvr or scan the QR code or DM me I’d love to have you on my list 💛
