Paula Pelton

"Paula Pelton is the quintessential real estate professional. She is positive, upbeat, and energetic, always offering the best advice to deal with any of the myriad questions or concerns a seller may have. In our case (selling an inherited home in Palm Desert, when we live thousands of miles away, with no local knowledge of the market or quality local contractors), she was instrumental in hiring all the right people to refurbish a home in need of TLC, then overseeing the work in our absence to ensure it was completed timely and as contracted, and finally staging and marketing the listing in a very competitive market that led to three offers (two over asking) that led to escrow (with an offer well over asking price) within three days of listing. She worked closely with us to establish a listing price we were very comfortable with given the difficult market (without any undue influence to maximize her commission), and she did all of this under the financial constraints of referral agreement. Paula was more than our real estate agent; she was a trusted friend and partner in this endeavor, and always kept us in the loop with anything that needed our input or consideration. "
