ABOUT KIRK BLOOMGARDEN

PAST SALES

My passion for real estate is matched by my passion to deliver the best service for my clients. Having been in the client service business my entire 30+ career I am a consummate communicator who ensures that every real estate transaction is handled with the utmost integrity, transparency and trust as my goal is to make the process smooth and stress free so that I have satisfied clients which brings me great fulfillment.

Having had a successful international sales and marketing career I was easily able to segue into becoming a Realtor® as it was a natural transfer of skills. As a long time visitor to the Coachella Valley and homeowner since 2006 I became a full-time resident in 2020 and I have never looked back. The desert lifestyle is unrivaled which I love to impart with my clients whether you are looking to buy, sell or invest in this one of a kind area, I am here to make your homeownership dreams come true.

TESTIMONIALS

“Owning a condo in the Palm Springs area has long been a dream and goal of ours, and after meeting Kirk at an open house in October, 2023, we soon realized that this was about to become a reality. He not only listened carefully and genuinely to our stories and goals for vacation ownership, but he worked tirelessly with our out-of-state schedule, myriad of questions, quirks, and excitement for this opportunity. Kirk knows his stuff! He was friendly, thorough, knowledgeable, and shared our vision for what we were after. We consider it more than fortunate to have met Kirk and are grateful for his time, skill and effort as he led us through this process.”

LAURIE AND CHUCK HOLST - CORVALLIS, OR

“Kirk Bloomgarden is simply a wonderful business person and most professional in every aspect of his Real Estate expertise. Our experience with Kirk was exceptional. Simply exceptional. Kirk navigated our purchase of a home in a Country Club with its many different parameters. Kirk educated us about facts and procedures we had no idea about. Our purchase had terms of a 60 day escrow and during our escrow Kirk walked us through every piece and turn of our purchase. Kirk has the most even tempered, positive, and professional attitude which makes what could be a stressful process be a pleasure! As we were out of town clients, Kirk handled all of our business and transactions remotely with such ease and everything was done correctly and with detail to guide us in this part of the process. Kirk provided all the government, utilities, HOA information which made our home start up seamless like flipping a switch to move in. I can’t think of a question that we had that Kirk did not address immediately. His responsiveness is incredible! I would recommend Kirk to anyone on the spot!”

BASED ON TRANSACTION SIDES

“ A HOME IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ASSETS YOU WILL EVER BUY.”

— WARREN BUFFETT, CHAIRMAN AND CEO OF BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY

HOMESERVICES IS THE #1 BROKERAGE IN U.S.

HomeServices of America has ended Realogy brokerage subsidiary NRT‘s two-decade reign atop the Real Trends 500 rankings of top residential real estate brokerages in the United States, beating NRT by nearly 10,000 transactions to become the number one real estate firm by sides in 2019.

HomeServices closed 346,629 transaction “sides” for a total sales volume of $135.9 billion by representing the buyer or seller in deals in 2018, according to the report. (The same sale could be counted twice if the brokerage represented both the buyer and seller.) It’s an increase of 6 percent and enough to upset the 20-year winning streak of NRT, which operates through brands such as Sotheby’s and Coldwell Banker.
