Team Work Makes The Dream Work!   This is the new motto of The Desert Dream Team!  We have built a  real estate team that not only allows us to better serve our clients, but also it allows us to open our minds and not get stuck in a rut.  When one is busy, the other takes over.  When out previewing homes we try to go together to give insight into differences of opinions or thoughts.  When we take a listing , we both know the details and information so we can market the house to its potential.   The best part of The Desert Dream Team   is we have different talents that we merge together so our clients actually get 2 agents working for them instead of one.  The old rule says never mix business with friendship, but The Desert Dream Team threw this out the window!   We are business partners... 06/18/2013

SHORT SALE PALM DESERT CA We have created the Real Estate Short Sale Formula for under-water and distressed homeowners in Palm Desert, California. Palm Desert has many homes and families facing foreclosure, but they don't know if they would qualify for a short sale of their Palm Desert CA home to avoid complete financial devastation.

The owner of the Palm Desert home sells it for less than what they owe for the property. It is far better for their credit to sell it short than to lose the house to foreclosure.
