My Story

Built on Experience.
Driven by Excellence.

With over nine years of experience in luxury and short-term rental real estate across Orange County's competitive market, I built SoCal Short Term Rental Experts on one simple belief — that every property deserves the same level of care, intention, and expertise that I bring to my own.

My expertise spans the full investment journey: property acquisition, renovation, interior design, and full-service management. I have personally purchased, renovated, designed, furnished, and managed STR properties — and that hands-on experience is exactly what sets SoCal Short Term Rental Experts apart.

Over nearly a decade in this industry, I have assembled an elite team of trusted professionals who share my commitment to excellence — top STR realtors, licensed contractors, professional photographers and videographers, interior designers, experienced cleaning crews, responsive maintenance teams, and STR-savvy accountants. Every expert in our network was hand-selected for one reason: to ensure your property performs at the highest level, every single day.

"So your property isn't just managed — it's strategically optimized as an asset."

— Diana LeClair

As a current MBA candidate specializing in International Finance at Concordia University Irvine, I combine deep on-the-ground real estate expertise with a sharp investment and financial mindset — so your property isn't just managed, it's strategically optimized as an asset.

Bilingual in English and Spanish, I am proud to serve the diverse communities of Orange County and San Diego with the personal, boutique-level attention that only a founder-led company can deliver.
