Boitano Palms Hot Air Balloon Ride--Up, Up and Away on a Beautiful Desert Day

I had so much fun "just doing my job" last Sunday.  I drifted high above my listings in the California desert in a hot air balloon.  I took some fantastic aerial photos of my listings at Boitano Palms and enjoyed the most beautiful snow covered mountains and soft desert breezes as we floated above citrus groves and equestrian estates.

 

 

 

Why not come along for the ride?

Downsizing the American Dream and Redefining Luxury

Perhaps bigger is not better.  Today a builder decided to downsize and trim the fat from homes he hopes to build in 2010.  Gone is the lavish pool, but it's still an option.  Gone is the three stall barn, but it is still an option.  He's offering a bare bones house with a smorgasbord of luxurious options.  The consumer is in the driver's seat.  Empowering the consumer is a smart move in this agent's opinion.

Luxury is in the details not the square footage.  If I asked ten prospective buyers to define luxury I'm sure ten different answers would be received.  If having your horse on your two-acre ranchette is luxury to you, so be it.  If having an over-sized lap pool for your daily workout is high on your luxury list, so be it. Perhaps guest quarters or a home theater is your indulgence of choice.  It's your home, your lifestyle and your choice. 

Come to Boitano Palms and discover what luxury means to you.  Let the re-definition of luxury begin!

How Do You Get Away From Real Estate?

I'm planning a long weekend away in the desert with my best gal pal.  I have a capable partner to watch over the business while I'm away for three or four days.  It was planned as a rest and relaxation break before the holiday madness begins.  I wondered if I would be lost without my daily real estate fix.

 

No worries, it looks like I will not suffer from real estate withdrawal.  My friend wants to check out the best deals on Rancho Los Palmas condos while we are in Rancho Mirage.  That's easy since we'll be staying in a friend's condo at the resort.

 

I'm working with a developer on the Boitano Palms development in the Coachella Valley and really need a few more photos of the area.  My camera will be tucked in my bag and I'll sneak out early one morning to catch the sunrise over the mountains. 

 

I've found real estate is easily woven into most days even when I'm supposedly taking a break from the work I do.

 

Where do you go to get away from real estate?  After all, it's everywhere.
