Out of the 6 golf courses at PGA WEST in La Quinta is one that is desert scape..the public Greg Norman course.  It is beautiful with it's green fairways, and drought tolerant, creatively landscaped border areas.  Greg Norman was ahead of the curve when he designed and implemented this course in approx. 2000. I sold the homes at Norman Estates in PGA West, when I was in New Homes, so I know these floor plans very well!  This particular home at 55455 Medallist Dr., was the Model for the Plan III floor plan.  Boasting 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms in the main home, and a Casita with a sitting area, 17 ft. tall cathedral ceilings, and full bath, the home is approx. 3750 sf.   The view above is taken looking out the Master Bedroom!! This was our only floor plan that featured a side-loaded poo...

Mountains in your backyard at PGA West On our real estate caravan today at PGA West, we toured 8 homes at PGA Legends and Palmer Private.   The homes range from contemporary to traditional and are priced from $489,000 to $895,000 with 3-4 bedrooms and most with 3.5 baths. One thing they all have in common is the incredible backdrop of the Santa Rosa mountains. If you want mountains in your backyard... this is the place for you! SEARCH FOR HOMES AT PGA WEST

Should You Tell Your Buyers NOT to Buy a Home with Stairs?   I live and work in the beautiful resort and golf communities near the Palm Springs area of California- particularly in the La Quinta neighborhoods.  We are blessed with incredibly beautiful views and homes, and with the economy and market improving... the baby-boomers are back and ready to find their perfect second home. Today I showed homes to a couple from LA in the PGA West neighborhood of Palmer Private.  Half of the homes in their price range had bedrooms upstairs, and some had stairs as you entered, and the full condo on the second floor. I don't encourage buyers to buy homes with stairs because:  Number 1:  Homes with stairs are difficult to sell in our market Number 2:  As we age, stairs become an issue. Number 3:  Hom...

PGA West in La Quinta has amazing views, from the mountains, to the fairways, to your own private backyard waterfall!   Janis Borgueta inspired me with her post Auto Awesome on Google+ Upload a Photo in Motion to Your Blog! to try out the new Auto Awesome feature in Google +.  When I was out previewing this week, I snapped some photos that I thought would make an impact with the Auto Awesome program.  I captured this backyard "spool" with waterfall on our tour of PGA West Nicklaus Private in La Quinta!  Thanks to Janis, it was easy to add to my blog and my website!
