Search Homes in Palm Springs Area

Sheri On the purchase side, Emily was able to figure out what I was looking for very quickly so the places we looked at were all appropriate for consideration. The one I eventually bought was one of the first units we saw, and Emily took me back a number of times to look at it again after we spent time looking at others so I could do an immediate comparison. The actual purchase was very smooth. I continue to get updates on properties available that fit the criteria I had, and I have yet to see another unit that makes me wonder if I should have waited on not. I have the right condo! On the sale side, we hit a speed bump, but it was outside your or my control. Your marketing tools kicked in right away and we were well on our way with an offer in place when literally the roof began to fall in, due to the water leak from the upstairs unit. Beverly immediately kicked into action, working with insurance companies, flood remediation, inspectors, contractors and repairmen. She navigated the process to a quick resolution, considering all the players that were involved. Unfortunately we lost a month or more, and you had to re-start the marketing process again. Your perseverance on the file paid off with my receiving a good offer and quick close. Overall, I'm very pleased with the service you and your team provided. Everyone was always available, and I received regular updates as to the status on the files for both purchase and sale. I never felt "out of the loop". You would definitely be my recommendation if anyone was looking to buy or sell in the area. You have a great team in place! Chris

5 Star Rating! "Was great and professional and friendly through out the selling and buying process. We got what we needed on the sale of our house and buying of our new house. Also great in getting the vendors we needed in completing the process, Would highly recommend Sheri, Ed, Beverly and the rest of the team for their first class service. Thanks from Glenn and Sharon"

Hi Sheri, Happy New Year and finally a reply. It has been a mega busy and somewhat unreal year for us! Lionel may or may not have replied in the meantime but I’m just clearing out our inbox and will reply anyway. First, just let me say thank you for our Williams Sonoma gift certificate, we finally spent it (and a little more) after Christmas. We are now the proud owners of BBQ grill plate, who knows what wonderful foods that will offer up eventually. Thank you very much. How happy were we with your service? Very. Thank you. Yes we would recommend you as an agent to anybody thinking of buying in your area. We (I) would also send them your link in the meantime so that they could have a look what’s available. However, there is nobody at the moment. What we like best about your services mainly is that being aliens (Canadian) you have many different ways of doing your real estate business down there that we know nothing about, you filled in all the blanks, it is so much easier to fill in the blanks when you know what the blanks are! Off the top, there is nothing we feel you can improve on, you are doing a pretty good job of not only selling real-estate but also, hand holding along the way. You certainly may use us as a reference. Your web site is very informative with helpful tips for both sellers and buyers. We’ve already used the recommended trades and contractors as we start the process of renovation our place to suit our taste and needs. Special thanks to Bev who always made herself available throughout the process with helpful hints and suggestions as to how to navigated the purchase of our property. Thanks again for helping to make our Palm Royale vacation property a reality, we love it! Pam n Lionel Durante

“Hi Sheri, Thank you for bringing us and this beautiful home together! You made everything so easy for us even when we were not present in providing some wonderful people to help get everything set up and keep us on track! You are truly unique with the care you give to every detail along with the kindness you’ve shown us! Thank you and your remarkable team for their concierge service and graciousness in welcoming us into our new home!”

"Sheri: You should know that we had a very positive experience with Ed Borquez. He was not only knowledgeable and attentive, but VERY patient as well. Sheri Dettman & Associates is firmly entrenched and knowledgeable about the area. We would definitely recommend them to others. When searching for a realtor, you're looking for knowledge, professionalism, attention to detail, and a good relationship. We found all of these assets with Ed Borquez and Sheri Dettman & Associates. Our realtor, Ed Borquez, was able to share information and analysis that helped us make more informed decisions and better understand our position. He knew about the latest events, decisions and topics being discussed and evaluated within Legacy Villas, and provided good counsel on what we should/should not be concerned about. Ed became our eyes and ears in Legacy Villas and made remote househunting much easier. We also appreciated that you have a process. We were told what we should expect in terms of next steps, and were provided resources and contact lists to assist us. And, we are truly loving our La Quinta residence...just can't find enough time to be there!"

"Dear Sheri and Emily, Some months have passed since we had the fortune to be helped by you to find a home in the Palm Desert area. We were a bit different from other buyers since it was the first time we ever purchased a property in the USA and did know nothing about the procedure and the way things go in such a situation. Emily from your team was in charge, fought like a lioness for our interests and nothing was too difficult or problematic for her, in order to satisfy our list of wishes. She was well informed and extremely professional, explained the pros and cons of all possible properties we chose, leaving us the entire freedom to decide, not a single moment pushing or chasing for a quick decision. Getting such a good feeling about all things connected to a property purchase in that region, plus the very pleasant and helpful style all of you presented, our choice was a good and happy one. We are extremly satisfied about our home in the desert and we cannot think of any way you could have done a better job. We shall and did also, recommend other people to contact you in case they would like to be succesful in finding a new home in Palm Springs area. We would be happy to give further recommendations at any time. Thank you once more and look forward to see you soon."

"We would absolutely recommend Ed Borquez and your office! We love Ed. His patience, knowledge and straightforward manner were all impressive . We found everyone helpful. No improvements I can think of. Absolutely-you can use us as a reference. You are awesome."

"Sheri, Emily did a great job for me...highest recommendation! Would use your agency again anytime."

"Sheri, It was great working with Ed throughout this entire process. I'd give him an A+, not sure what more I could have expected from him. The house I ended up buying was one he suggested to me, despite me spending several hours on Zillow on my own making a list for him to review. Appreciate all the good work."

“Sheri, I would definitely recommend your agency! The assistance from Ed Borquez in coordinating with the seller and from your assistant Beverly to make all the paperwork stuff go right was unbeatable. The best part of the transaction was dealing with Ed. He is clear in his explanations, and radiates integrity. I counted how many homes I have bought over the years, and it is approaching 30 in three countries. By far this was the best transaction of them all. And that’s why we will be listing our previous PGA property with you as soon as we empty it of 14 years worth of accumulations!”

"Sheri, We had a great experience with Emily. She did not hesitate to meet me whenever I was able to fly back to the desert area from our home here in Oakbrook Terrace, IL. Emily made my search for our new home so much easier than I could have imagined. She represented us well in negotiating price and in requesting credit against cost. She has continued to be of great service to us by giving us some great references for future upgrades to our new home. We were very lucky to have her! Many Thanks."

“Hi Sheri, I just wanted to let you know what a great experience it was working with you and your organization. I have dealt with a lot of real estate and investments over the years and I was most impressed with the Sheri Dettman and Associates real estate team. The entire experience and transaction was so organized and professional from start to finish. The website and research tools was one my favorite aspects and helped me better evaluate areas and compare listings. Ed Borquez was a fantastic real estate professional and was informative and prompt but was not pushy or a typical salesperson personality. I was completely satisfied and would recommend anyone in the market to buy or sell in Palms Springs and the surrounding desert communities to get in touch with your office. Thank you once again.”

“Dear Sheri, As we’ve told Emily Trust many times, we would not have seriously considered purchasing a home if Emily hadn’t been our agent. When we first spoke with Emily we told her that we were ‘just looking’ and that we had really high expectations of a home and doubted that what we were looking for existed in our price range. Emily reassured us that we could find a property yet she didn’t apply any pressure to us whatsoever. She introduced us to your preferred method of searching through the myriad of properties available and when we met and narrowed down the search to 5-6 homes, we felt that we were actually going to find something. And lo and behold my favorite online listing turned into our forever vacation home. Being Canadian and new to the U.S. real estate world we found the process to be very confusing but Emily was very helpful and guided us through every aspect of the sales transaction and MORE! We actually feel that we could do it all over again with Emily Trust as our guide. Nothing to improve on! It was a great experience."

"Sheri, Susan and I want to thank you for very efficiently selling our home in the Palms in a 6 month period of time when it had been on the market for over 2 years with no firm offers. We found you and your staff to be very professional and the way you kept us aware of each showing with feedback made us feel you were really on top of things. We were very pleased with the process your firm carried out and will be happy to provide references regarding our experience with your firm should the need arise."

"Hi Sheri, Thank you so much with our recent sale in La Quinta! When you helped us purchase our condo years ago the experience was nothing but exceptional and our experience now with the sale was the same. You always kept me informed every step of the way. Ed as usual was great. Beverly went above and beyond my expectations in numerous matters concerning the sale. I would absolutely recommend Sheri and her staff to anyone either purchasing or selling property in the desert. As a Canadian there were so many questions I had in regards to the selling process but Sheri and her staff made it seem effortless with their knowledge and guidance in every aspect. Again I would not hesitate to highly recommendSheri Dettman and her staff to anyone looking to either purchase or sell property in the desert. I would be more than happy to supply a reference for you! Thank you again Sheri!"

"Thanks to you all for all your help and making our time in the Desert very enjoyable for the last 7 years, Gabe you were invaluable as not only being able to generate income but also going above and beyond when we were not able to manage issues ourselves. And to you and your team Sheri, you guys rock!! "

"Good Morning, We had a wonderful experience. Your results are your best recommendation. We had a steady stream of people coming to look. You can’t sell a home if no one comes to see it. Sheri also was able to talk a potential buyer out of cancelling the sale and brought it to closure. That was amazing."

“Dear Sheri and Team, Al and I would like to thank you for listing our house and selling it in record time. I think we got an offer within two weeks of listing it. Right from the beginning, we both felt that we had picked the right realty team. From your assistant, Beverly, to your photographer, who did a great job in showcasing the house, we knew that we were in good hands. Beverly kept us informed on every aspect of the transaction along with answering any question that we might have had. We would strongly recommend you to any of our friends or family that are looking to either sell or purchase a home. Thanks again for a great job!”

“Dear Sheri, No kidding. Easiest sale we ever had. Thanks again!”

“Dear Sheri, You and your team did a fantastic job for us. It is very much appreciated. The pictures and personal web page are fantastic. You and your team define the word professionalism. Unfortunately over the years I haven't been able to say that about many organizations. Most organizations give lip service to customer service...Sheri's lives it. I applaud Sheri for putting together an outstanding organization.”

“Dear Sheri, I called three different realtors, and you were the last one I met. It turned out the third time is indeed the charm. There was something about you that caused me to feel comfortable with you and your company. The way you presented yourself and your team made me know this was the Realtor I wanted to use. You did a fantastic job getting our house sold. Most importantly my house was listed at a fair price so I could achieve my goal of getting the house sold quickly, but not give it away. I also liked how you kept me informed all along the way so I never felt I was lost in the shuffle. I can't thank you enough for all you did for us!”

"Sheri, It was a pleasure working with you and we appreciate everything you did to help us sell our house. If/when we decide to sell our other home you will be hearing from us again–you're the best!!!"

"Dear Sheri, Gary and I were very impressed with the efficiency and professionalism of your team. From the first day we met, until the day you sold our house, you gave us insightful advice, and excellent service in all areas. It's been a pleasure to have worked with all of you."
