About our founder
✈️ Jamie Lou Waterhouse
(DRE #01483595)
Jamie Lou Waterhouse is a powerhouse in California Real Estate and aviation — a seasoned broker, entrepreneur, and pilot redefining what freedom and success look like. With over 20 years of experience, she has closed countless transactions across the state, from luxury estates to investment properties, always with precision, integrity, and results that speak for themselves.
In 2016, Jamie Lou founded Black Diamond Real Estate, a boutique brokerage built on excellence, transparency, and heart. Her team reflects her standard: smart, strategic, and relentlessly client-focused. Together, they’ve built a reputation for innovative marketing, accurate pricing, and smooth, high-performance closings.
Beyond Real Estate, Jamie Lou soars — literally. As a licensed ATP commercial pilot and Certified Flight Instructor, she’s the founder of Girls Love to Fly, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit flight school empowering women and girls to take the controls — in aviation and in life. She’s type-rated in multiple jets, including the Challenger 300/350, Citation CE-525S, and King Air 350, and frequently flies clients and business partners across California for seamless property showings.
When she’s not flying or negotiating, Jamie Lou is all about living boldly — skiing in Tahoe, cycling coastal routes, practicing yoga, and collecting tea and wine that celebrate life’s journey. She shares her modern California home with her two Pomeranians, Ruby and Pepper, and brings that same warmth, focus, and adventurous spirit to every deal she touches.
With Jamie Lou Waterhouse and the elite team at Black Diamond Real Estate, expect high-altitude expertise, white-glove service, and an experience that makes your goals take flight.
