How We Started
About Diggs Realty LLC
Founded in 2001, Diggs Realty LLC (formerly Diggs Realty) was established on the belief that long-term success in real estate comes from a commitment to quality, integrity, and community. The company’s founders recognized that a sustainable business could be built through the acquisition and rental of single- and multi-family homes, the purchase, repair, and resale of distressed properties, and the development of residential land.
With the leadership of Sara Diggs, Managing Member and Strategic Advisor, the company developed a comprehensive investment strategy focused on delivering clean, quality, and affordable residential housing, as well as high-quality rehabilitations and new home constructions.
Today, Diggs Realty LLC continues to grow its presence across Illinois, Texas, and Missouri, with residential properties in Carbondale, Evanston, and Zion, Illinois; Houston, Texas; and St. Louis, Missouri.
In addition to property investment and development, a significant part of our business focuses on providing private money mortgages—asset-based lending solutions tailored for real estate investors. These loans are designed to offer flexible financing for acquisitions, rehabs, and new construction projects, enabling our clients to build and scale their investment portfolios efficiently.
We also provide remodeling and general contracting services, ensuring every project meets our high standards for craftsmanship, value, and client satisfaction.
For more than two decades, Diggs Realty LLC has remained dedicated to strengthening communities by providing quality housing and reliable financing solutions that empower both homeowners and investors alike.
