Our Buyer & Seller Clients Win Another Award!

Over 400 agents are affiliated with Keller Williams Realty here in the desert, and yesterday was the annual Keller Williams awards extravaganza. For the second consecutive year, my associate Ed Borquez and I were presented with the award for being the number one small team in the desert. We transacted more business than any other small team (3 agent team members or less) by a factor of two to one.

We Accept This Award On Behalf Of Our Clients
While awards are cool, Ed and I feel that this award is really all about our clients. As two of the busiest agents in the desert, Ed and I visit more properties in more communities, and work at negotiating more transactions for our clients than the vast majority of agents. We feel that our being busy can result in a smoother and more profitable real estate transaction for our clients.

So the real winners of our #1 award are our clients. Congratulations and thank you!

PGA West Real Estate Sales Up 10% In 2011

PGA West golf homes on the Tom Weiskopf golf course

PGA West La Quinta real estate sales increased 10% in 2011 over sales in 2010. Sales of single-family homes rose 9.49% to 106 units, while sales of PGA West condos rose an impressive 15.22% to 92 units over 2010.

Real estate sales within the gates of PGA West totaled $109 million for the year with 180 unit sales compared to $103 million in 2010 and 162 unit sales.

The PGA West Greg Norman course community scored a ‘double-double’ as sales grew an impressive 50% in ‘11. The average sales price of a Norman single-family home also increased 4.78% to $943,438.

The average sales price for a PGA West single-family home during 2011 was $792,988 while the average condo sale price hit $402,577. Overall sales prices declined 8.32% during the year, which seemed to fuel the unit sales increases of both PGA West homes and condos.

Golf membership prices at PGA West were reduced from $125,000 to just $40,000 last November, and this could have a further positive impact on 2012 sales. Time will tell, and I'll be updating information here on our PGA West Blog on a regular basis.

PGA West includes six gated golf communities including Legends, Greg Norman, Nicklaus Private, Nicklaus Tournament, Palmer Private and the Weiskopf.

PGA Tour Returns To PGA West With Humana Challenge

President Clinton, Mike McCallister & Tim FinchemThe Humana Challenge PGA Tour event comes to La Quinta January 16-22. The host course will be La Quinta’s PGA West Palmer Private golf course. Both Pro’s and amateurs will also play the PGA West Nicklaus Private golf course and the storied La Quinta Country Club. Golf course home and condo owners and their guests at the three courses will have front row luxury viewing of all the golf action.

The Former Bob Hope Classic is still a premier PGA Tour event, but in addition to the new name, it will have a new focus on health and well-being and will showcase the benefits of living healthier lives.

Former President Bill Clinton recently meet with Humana Chairman and CEO Mike McCallister and PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem to announce the new event. President Clinton will host the “Health Matters: Activating Wellness In Every Generation” national conference on January 17 in Indian Wells.

Found Memories at PGA West

(L to R) Sterling Sharpe, John Daly, Marcus Allen, Bill DettmanThis event brings back found memories for my husband Bill as he was selected by draw to play in the Hope celebrity field for four rounds with celebrity playing partners Marcus Allen and Sterling Sharp. Bill's group was then paired in the tournament playing rounds with golf major winners Corey Pavin, Mike Weir, Justin Leonard (who won the event that year) and on the final day with John Daly and some huge galleries.

"All the crowds and pressure kind of got me amped up," Bill said. "As a 14 handicap, I averaged four natural birdies each day and while playing with Daly I missed a hole in one by about two inches. With crowds four deep lining the fairways during Saturday's round, I kept thinking to myself just don't hit anyone!"
