Real Estate Junkies

Meet our guests:
Diane Griffin Goldberg, EVP with Griffins Owens Insurance Group

Griffin Owens Insurance Group was founded in 1981 by Chris Griffin, who was soon joined by her husband, Don Owens, in 1983, marking the official formation of the firm. I began my journey with Griffin Owens at the age of 15, initially as an agent and now proudly serving as co-owner.

Our agency holds a deep commitment to community service, a value instilled by my mother, who always reminded me, “To whom much is given, much is expected.” In keeping with this ethos, Griffin Owens actively supports impactful organizations such as Kids R First, Cornerstones, and LINK, among others.

My family moved to Herndon, Virginia, in 1976. After completing my education at Herndon High School, I graduated from Virginia Tech with a Bachelor of Science in Finance, with a minor in Insurance. During my early career, I moved to New York City, where I met my husband. We later married there and established our first home in McLean, Virginia, in 1999, where we currently reside with our two daughters.
