Local expert. Zero pressure. Trusted by DFW families to buy, sell, and invest.
Diego's story didn't start in a real estate classroom, it started at 23, when he bought his first rental property. By his third investment, he decided to get his license to level up his own portfolio. Then something shifted: friends and family started asking for his help navigating transactions, and he realized he had a real gift for guiding people through one of the biggest decisions of their lives.
He was working at a bank, stable, safe, but walked away to bet on himself. Since October 2018, he's been doing exactly that as the founder of Cortes & Co. Realty Group, serving buyers, sellers, and investors across the DFW Metroplex.
Diego specializes in first-time buyers, new construction, land, and lake & ranch properties. He's bilingual, deeply connected to the Latino community, and takes pride in making the process feel clear, accessible, and personal, no matter who you are or what you do for a living.

"What can I say, Diego did an outstanding job since the first step. I was going for an investment house with my parents, so I was looking at a decent house that needed work. Diego made it happen by getting a remodeling financed loan at a good rate. Anything I needed, Diego was a phone call away. If it's your first or second, I recommend Diego."
"Diego helped my wife and I accomplish our dream of becoming homeowners. We had never looked before, so all this was new to us. Diego made it very easy and was always available for showings because he knows how fast the market can be. Safe to say we found our dream home in a little over a month, and Diego was the main reason for that!"
"Diego did everything and then some to help me get my dream home. My family and I are forever grateful. The transaction between my parents and I, transferring everything, was a headache but Diego made it happen. I'm happy to call him my realtor. Hardworking, kind and sufficient! Highly recommend."
"My husband and I were extremely pleased with the services and dedicated attention we received from our Realtor, Diego Cortes. Despite making such an important investment decision and as first-time home buyers, he made the entire process feel seamless with meaningful guided insight. Not only was he diligent and flexible in helping us find our family home, he made sure to keep us informed of the whole process from start to finish. His approach is exemplary."
"My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Diego when we purchased our first home. Diego was with us every step of the way and was very knowledgeable of the DFW area! He was very patient with us and easy to work with! Diego was very responsive to us, and available whenever we needed him. Diego works around the clock and will give you what you're looking for!"
"He was great! Diego listened to our needs and wants. He made our dream house turn into reality."
