For Justin Diem, a strong work ethic and penchant for over-achieving are practically second nature.

“I was outfitting fishing and ski gear at 12, became a ski technician at 14, picked up a second job as a line cook at 15, caddied at Montreux Golf Club during college, while interning for my first finance job.”

After graduating with degrees in economics and finance, Justin embarked on his professional career as a mortgage loan officer, specializing in conventional and portfolio financing with transaction experience throughout the West Coast. “After navigating years of banking compliance I had the desire to enter the tangible side of real estate, and the complexities of the commercial market intrigued me.”

Now in his seventh year at Radius, Justin Diem has unlocked a diverse range of professional skills that deliver unique value to his clients, team, and the community. Alongside Bob Tuler, Paul Gamberdella, and Gene Deering, Justin has worked on over $700 Million of commercial sales and leases on the Central Coast.

This robust market exposure has honed Justin’s expertise in all asset classes, providing him with a nuanced perspective on the local economy. Through his experience in tenant and landlord representation, property valuation, contract negotiation, drone photography, volunteering, and a passion for community success, Justin sees a future of endless involvement and progress for the Santa Barbara region.

Outside of work, Justin finds solace in backcountry skiing and hiking with his dogs in his hometown of June Lake, or playing golf in Santa Barbara. “These activities provide both relaxation and humbling moments that reset the clock for balance in my career.”
