Why Re al Estate?

Real Estate, Architecture, and Interior Design have been a passion for over 20 years. My career began in Laguna Beach as I purchased, renovated, designed, and sold many properties. In 2003, I became licensed in Las Vegas and was very successful with Coldwell Banker until 2008.

I met my husband and married in 2008 and moved to Indian Wells where, we have invested in properties and lived in four country club communities. We have called Vintage, Hideaway, Estancias, and Toscana Country Club our home.

How did I ge t here?

I graduated from the University of Miami and worked in television. The hotel business was next as a Regional V.P. training, where I taught management at 22 hotel properties for Marriott Hotels. I studied Interior Design and started buying properties to renovate and fell in love with it all.

Why Choose Me? I am all about relationships and exceeding expectations.

My mission with my clients is to provide constant communication to bring the buyer and seller together for a positive transaction. My team at Coldwell Banker Realty provides the support and resources to ensure a legal transaction. I am an agent who provides all necessary resources to help you during and after you have closed escrow.

“In 2010, my partner and I hired Peggy to sell a condominium in Turnberry Place, on Paradise Road in Las Vegas.

We were upside down because of the 2008 debacle. She did a yeoman’s job of selling the unit and minimizing our losses. We took a beating, but it could’ve been worse. She is a class act, knows her product and her industry extremely well, and is loyal and ethical to a fault. Her formal training came through Marriott Corporation, where she was a corporate supervisor and instructor for hostesses and event coordinators. It was there that she developed her incredible way with people. Her people skills are legendary.

Nine years after the sale, we are still friends and keep in touch although 2,500 miles apart. I would recommend her for any assignment whatsoever in real estate.”

- Jon Cavendish, Realtor/Broker, Charleston West Virginia.

“Firsts”

The Coldwell Banker® brand has always lived on the cutting edge of luxury, cemented by more than a century of innovation. This pioneering spirit can be traced from San Francisco’s Financial District in 1906 to Manhattan’s prestigious Madison Avenue in 1933 as luxury real estate marketing was revolutionized by capturing fine estate homes on film, to our worldwide presence today as a trailblazer in video, mobile, social media, and smart home technology.

In 2020, we unveiled an exciting change to the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Program –­ with the much-anticipated debut of a new look. The redesigned and reimagined Coldwell Banker Global Luxury logo elegantly reflects the exceptional nature of the program’s Luxury Property Specialists and that of their distinguished clientele.

Our mutual objective is to sell your home:

FOR T HE HIGHES T POSSIBL E PRICE › IN T HE SHORT ES T A MOUN T OF T IME › WI T H T HE MOS T FAVOR A BL E T ERMS Prior to implementing any marketing strategies, it is critical to go through a process of discovery — determine the fair market value, understand the barometer of current market conditions, and review the variety of factors that will help us prepare your home for sale.

Selling luxury homes requires a different level of expertise. Strategy and exceptional marketing to the right buyers and are keys to maximizing the true value of your home.

LUXURY

Marketing FOR YOUR HOME

MARKETING FOR Maximum E X P O S U R E Selling your home can be a very exciting experience, but it can also be an emotional one. As a REALTOR®, I have found the best way to sell a home is through partnership and teamwork — combining the understanding of your requirements and goals with my knowledge, expertise, effective marketing strategies, and extensive brokerage resources.

T H E Window OF OPPORTUNITY The “Window of Opportunity” is the period in which your home will receive its maximum exposure — typically when your home is new on the market.

In order to capitalize on this window, it is crucially important that your home is ready for sale: priced at Fair Market Value, prepared to showcase its features and attributes, and a marketing strategy is implemented to further increase its exposure.

Location

According to real estate convention, the three most important criteria to consider when buying a property are: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. In fact, buyers are often attracted to a general location, a neighborhood, or even a certain street, well before settling on a specific home.

Understanding your location’s positives and negatives is important when determining price and very significant in the marketing of your home. Misconceptions, preconceptions, and knowing the nuances of your home can make quite a difference in how a home is marketed, when it’s shown, and how it is positioned — one man’s displeasure can be another’s delight!

P R E PA R E T O Present YOUR HOME First impressions are lasting. Preparing your home is one of the most difficult, emotional, and critical steps to maximize its value — together we will review, recommend, prepare, and create an environment that is appropriate for the type of buyer looking to purchase your home. No matter how stunning, loved, or well-maintained your home, it is important that you view it with critical objectivity, and whether it needs simple changes or major repairs, these should be addressed before the home is listed.

PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY Photography must reflect your property. Whether in print or on the web, these photos are often the first impression that a potential buyer will receive.

Take advantage of new technology to showcase the true essence of the property within its environment, especially if your buyer is from outside your local area. Lifestyle videos provide a realistic depiction of the intended space and livability.

A photoshoot is the time when a home must shine — both figuratively and literally. A fully prepared home that is clean, tidy, with clear sightlines, and shot in its best natural light will speak volumes to the viewer before and after the home is visited.

FIX IT UP WITH Nothing U P F R O N T With a home in top condition, ma ximize your selling price – with no payment until closing.

The RealVitalizeSM program helps with home improvements and repairs to prep your home for sale. We cover your up-front costs and get paid back when your home sells. No hidden fees, interest charges or markups.

The results are remarkable – on average, RealVitalize proper ties sell at or above list price*.

Showing T H E H O M E Your home needs to be ‘show ready’ at all times — this can be difficult to balance if you are still living in the home.

However, we must ensure preparations are done up front — unnecessary items removed, space has been created, and a plan implemented for the best times to show the home; then the final prep and inviting touches are easy for me to add around your busy schedule.

Every buyer will be pre-qualified. During the showing, a fully guided tour will be provided to ensure that the features and nuances are showcased and explained to maximize the perception of value.

Finalizing T H E S A L E A myriad of details must be attended to before the sale becomes final, including offers, counter offers, inspections, disclosures, contingencies, loan documents, insurance, mortgage approval, and escrow items. This final step can be overwhelming with all its moving parts.

Whatever the next step may be, know that I am here to guide you through this final process — to keep in constant communication, track the proceeding, and keep things on schedule.

Defining YO U R G OA L S AND OPTIONS

In the search for your perfect home, we must define the goals and reassess your requirements so that we approach the search with complete insight. This will enable the creation of an appropriate action plan and expected timeline.

• • • • • • •

Where are you thinking of moving — local or out of state?

Do you have a budget?

What do you and your family need from your next home?

Are you looking for a turnkey or renovation property?

What are your essential requirements during our search?

Are there any financial considerations?

When is the ideal time for you to move?

This information will enable a qualified search. Equally, it is important to ensure that we research the true value of homes and that their current selling price reflects an amount that the property is “worth” to you.

PROPERTY

When helping you look for a property, I will make recommendations based on my experience and local knowledge, in addition to having access to a variety of technology, a wide network of area agents, and homes not yet on the market.

A comparison chart and thorough, objective inspection of each home, combined with such factors as market data and resale potential, will help in narrowing your search. By building a checklist, we can better evaluate each home and review together the important criteria of homes visited.

And when you find that perfect home, I will help negotiate the best offer based on the condition of the home, length of time it’s been on the market, activity, location, and urgency of the seller. Ultimately, I will protect and represent your best interests.

I’d like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to present this preview of the marketing services I can offer you and your property.

I’d be pleased to assist you with the sale of your present home and the purchase of your next home, and the next one, because I’m not just providing a service, I’m building a relationship. Please let me know when I can be of service.

Call me before you make any important real estate decisions; you’ll be glad you did.
