Dr. Joel Kinnamon, President of College of the Desert; John Jaramillo, Dean of the College of Applied Sciences and Business at COD, and Bob Deville, co-owner of Windermere Real Estate Southern California discuss the new 2013 Windermere Scholarships at the College of the Desert’s Foundation Office.
Windermere Real Estate Southern California is firmly positioned as the area leader in residential resale and luxury home sales. But equally as impressive is their philosophy on giving back to the communities in which they serve.
As established members of the community, Windermere Agents and Staff keep an eye on the issues and concerns that impact the local economy, not only in terms of property values, but the educational and vocational pathways that lead to the viability of home ownership for residents and visitors alike. Their knowledge in this area recently helped identify a need to support local students in higher education programs at the community college level.
And from this need, Windermere Real Estate Southern California created their College of the Desert Student Scholarship fund through their Windermere California Foundation. For the 2013-2014 school year, four qualifying students benefit from these scholarships in three categories: Business, Economics and Real Estate Development. These scholarships pay for a portion of the students’ tuition and expenses, and allow students to focus on what’s important – their education.
Two scholarships in the amount of $2500 each will go to qualified students majoring in Business and Economics, and two $1000 scholarships will go to qualified students working toward a Real Estate Development certificate. These scholarships support full-time students taking 12 units or more with at least a 3.0 grade point average.
“Given the unprecedented state budget difficulties, now more than ever the contributions Windermere Real Estate Southern California has made are especially critical,” said Dr. Joel Kinnamon, superintendent and president of College of the Desert. “As much as we do for our students and community, we can do so much more with the financial help we receive from our COD Foundation through its dedicated supporters.”
Bob Deville, co-owner of Windermere Real Estate Southern California, said, “Windermere Real Estate is proud to support these new opportunities for the students of the College of the Desert’s Business, Economics and Real Estate Development programs. As the economy continues to improve, we felt that it was important as one of the Coachella Valley’s industry leaders to show our support and bolster local higher education.”
Since opening their first Coachella Valley office in 2001, Windermere Real Estate Southern California has contributed tens of thousands of dollars to local charities through the Windermere Foundation. Windermere agents and its employees support dozens of charities that benefit the community as a whole, whether that is through childhood and educational development or economic and social supports. And they continue to make a great impact on our community.

Windermere Real Estate Southern California congratulates their outstanding agents from its 16 Coachella Valley offices for keeping Windermere the local real estate market leader through the first quarter of 2013.
“We continue to be extremely proud and thankful that our fantastic family of Windermere real estate professionals propels us to the top of the market,” said Bob Deville, co-owner of Windermere Real Estate Southern California. “At Windermere, we understand the cycles of the real estate market and plan accordingly. Thanks to the hard work of our agents and staff we’ve had a great first quarter and a strong start to 2013.”
Windermere’s closed residential sales volume for the first quarter of 2013 came in at $422,801,057 – more than its next two closest competing brokerages combined. From Palm Springs to Indio, Windermere continues to list and sell more properties and homes in every city throughout the Coachella Valley.
First quarter luxury homes sales numbers show Windermere Real Estate Southern California with a total sales volume of $80,072,000, just shy of its nearest three competing brokerages’ combined sales volumes.
“A combination of factors, including the decrease in distressed property sales, historically low mortgage rates and lower inventory, have helped boost sales prices and home values in all price points,” said Bob Deville. “The result of this equates to encouraging news for both buyers and sellers who are looking to garner the maximum value for their properties.”
“Demand continues to be high with the renewed strength of the housing market and the growing interest in the quality of lifestyle to be found in our beautiful desert cities,” said Charlie White, Managing Broker for Windermere’s Indian Wells Luxury Homes and Estates office. “As a result, our fully licensed and educated agents are assisting their sellers in negotiating multiple offers and enabling their buyers to write competitive offers.”

Windermere Real Estate Southern California is pleased to announce the addition of two real estate professionals with extensive backgrounds in the industry. Barrie Hewitt joins Windermere’s Palm Desert Portola office located at 73-993 Highway 111, while Karen McDonald joins the Windermere’s Old Town La Quinta office located at 78065 Main Street, Suite 100.
“We always feel a sense of privilege and pride when agents of the caliber of Barrie and Karen chose Windermere as their brokerage. We strive to facilitate the support and growth of every agent. We realize the impact that an environment consisting of camaraderie and teamwork can and does have on each agent’s success,” said Bob Deville, co-owner of Windermere Real Estate Southern California.
Barrie Hewitt – Palm Desert Portola

A resident of the desert area for more than 40 years, Barrie Hewitt has watched our valley grow from a collection of small, unincorporated towns to its present status as an international vacation resort destination. “It is my privilege to assist clients find their special piece of paradise, whether they are seeking a full-time residence or a vacation home getaway,” shared Barrie.
A Realtor® for the past 8 years, Barrie has listed and sold homes throughout the area from the Banning Pass area cities all the way out to Salton City. Her familiarity with the valley has been augmented by her broad work history, as leasing manager for two real estate offices, senior marketing manager for Marriot Shadow Ridge and Desert Springs Villas, and senior writer for a public relations firm whose clients included the Bob Hope Classic and one of the regional medical centers.
“Barrie’s professional approach and demeanor with her clients has her earned her a tremendous referral business. Great client rapport is important to successful real estate transactions, and Barrie is a prime example of the results that strong relationships can yield,” said Sandi Richardson, Managing Broker for Windermere Real Estate’s Palm Desert Portola office.
Karen McDonald – Old Town La Quinta

Windermere’s Old Town La Quinta office warmly welcomes Karen McDonald to their growing community of real estate professionals. Karen’s life work has been real estate. She has worked in residential, commercial and land sales; commercial leasing, distressed home rehab and revitalization for builders, and real estate marketing. Her extensive real estate career has earned her accolades from previous brokerages, as well as the recognition she earned from her years in the building industry. Even in her personal life, real estate has played an enormous part; Karen’s late husband was the President of Centex Corporation, CEO of New Millennium and on the board of US Homes and 6 NYSE companies dealing with building and finance.
“My engagement and passion for real estate has always been integral in every aspect of my life. It all starts with the joy I get in helping my client find the perfect home while taking into account their financial objectives,” shared Karen. Karen’s in-depth real estate knowledge provides her clients with an incredible advantage regardless of which side of the transaction they are on.
“Karen is real estate legacy. Her wide-ranging knowledge of the market, professional demeanor, and passion for the industry make her a perfect addition to our office,” said Sandy Beakey, Managing Broker for Windermere’s Old Town La Quinta office.

Real estate agents do more than just sell homes. They also serve as ambassadors of their neighborhoods and local communities. This week, Windermere Real Estate Southern California is pleased to highlight two agents, who have recently joined Windermere. These agents have strong ties to Coachella Valley philanthropy.

Ellen Boyer – Palm Desert Portola

An avid athlete, Ellen plays USTA tennis in clubs across the Coachella Valley. Currently she serves on the Board of Directors for the Indio Performing Arts Center and is a patron of the McCallum Theatre in Palm Desert.
Ellen’s artistic and athletic passions inspire her ability to market the properties of sophisticated sellers and effectively assist her buyers in realizing their real estate dreams. “My passion for set design and theatre direction is a terrific background for staging homes, re-imagining spaces, and communicating effectively with my clients,” shared Ellen. Her enthusiasm for tennis has given Ellen an extensive knowledge of the numerous country and tennis clubs throughout the Coachella Valley. Her first-hand familiarity with these clubs is a great asset to buyers looking to relocate to the desert or who are looking for vacation homes that feature the finest in tennis amenities.
“Ellen is a very resourceful, creative professional. A multi-layered agent, she brings a wealth of experience and tremendous networking capabilities to bear in representing her clients,” said Sandi Richardson, Managing Broker for Windermere’s Palm Desert Portola office.

Henry Hudson – Rancho Mirage
Windermere’s Rancho Mirage office is pleased to welcome Henry Hudson to their office located at 71691 Highway 111.

Henry’s background includes a long history of working in real estate for his own personal, business and entrepreneurial endeavors. His intimate knowledge of the community resources and organizations allows him a unique perspective in guiding his clients in their discovery and selection of their next home and neighborhood. Henry is well versed to enable a successful transition experience to anyone relocating to the Coachella Valley, whether they are first-time home buyers, looking for second home or simply upgrading.
“As a longtime resident of the local community, Hank has a full appreciation of the growth and development that we’ve seen in the desert cities. His impressive local knowledge, as well as his wide-reaching network, makes him a fine addition to our well-rounded family of real estate professionals,” said Don Rossignol, Managing Broker for Windermere’s Rancho Mirage office.

Windermere Real Estate Southern California’s dominance of the local real estate market continues to draw motivated and successful agents to their 17 Coachella Valley area offices. Windermere is pleased to spotlight three seasoned real estate professionals that have recently joined their offices.
Paul Johnson – Palm Desert San Pablo

Paul Johnson joined Windermere’s Palm Desert San Pablo office located at 44-530 San Pablo Avenue, Suite 101. Born and raised in the Coachella Valley, Paul studied at College of the Desert and Cal State San Bernardino. Paul’s strong ties to the local community are reflected by his volunteer work with his church and, as a parent, in his active participation in school and community sports programs.
For the past 10 years, Paul worked as a home appraiser, accessing thousands of properties throughout the Coachella Valley. His highly regarded work as an appraiser gives Paul an advantage when it comes to working with his buyers and sellers. Paul has also worked in various capacities with real estate investors, developing market analysis and projected profit margins on their real estate investments.
“His wealth of local knowledge gives him an exceptional knack at knowing the pulse of the market and its current inventory,” said Bryan Arnold, Managing Broker for Windermere’s San Pablo office.
Grady McGuire – Palm Springs South

Windermere’s Palm Springs South office was pleased to welcome Grady McGuire to their office located at 2465 E Palm Canyon Drive, Suite 120. Grady has been a real estate professional for 15 years. Grady’s background includes an extensive history of sales success with notable companies such as the Bose Corporation and BMW. At Bose alone, Grady was responsible for $50 million dollars in sales for the company with a service territory that included 250 Sam’s Clubs and 400 Target stores in 25 states.
Noted by former brokerages for his top level of real estate production, Grady has assisted his buyers in sellers in millions of dollars of real estate transactions from Palm Springs to Palm Desert. As a seasoned Realtor® with Windermere, Grady prides himself in providing his clients exceptional service and unmatched attention. His life, travel, and work experiences allow him a great insight into the need of clients looking to relocate to the Palm Springs area, particularly the needs of the Canadian buyer.
“Knowing Grady’s successful transaction history and his large social network, I was excited that he chose to join our office. He is a great addition to our family of agents,” said Chris Anderson, Branch Manager at Windermere’s Palm Springs South office.
William Ruegge – Palm Desert Portola

Windermere’s Palm Desert Portola office welcomed William Ruegge to their location at 73-993 Highway 111. An avid golfer, William fell in love with the desert’s beauty, weather and, of course, access to numerous, notable golf courses, including his favorite at PGA West, and chose to make the Coachella Valley his home. Prior to his work in real estate, William owned and operated his own retail business in the Florida Keys for many years.
A seasoned Realtor® of 15 years, William was the owner and broker of his own real estate office for 6 years. William’s extensive knowledge of the real estate industry covers the full southern region of the United States, from North Carolina to California. He has worked extensively with buyers from their first-time home purchases to their relocation needs to the purchase of their vacation homes. William has also assisted his clients with their investment properties and leasing.
“William is a kaleidoscope of experience – he’s worked in a number of markets and with the full array of buyers,” said Sandi Richardson, Managing Broker at Windermere’s Portola office. “A rare find – he’s what I call a must-do, should-do, would-do agent and we are thrilled to have him with us.”
“Based on our stellar agent support and undeniable prominence in the local real estate market, we continue to attract some of the top talent in the industry,” said Bob Deville, co-owner of Windermere Real Estate Southern California. “Each of theses agents represents a wealth of experience and industry knowledge, and their buyers and sellers will find their wisdom insightful and rewarding to their real estate goals.”

The shortest month of the year has come and gone, but it was packed with Windermere’s involvement with local charities throughout Southern California. Donations from the Windermere Foundation, from Windermere Southern California & SoCal Offices, and individual Windermere agents totaled in excess of $8,000 to local charities in February alone.
Windermere Carlsbad Supports Friends of the Women’s Resource Center

February kicked off with the Have a Heart for a Child event benefiting the Friends of the Women’s Resource Center in Oceanside. Held at the Hilton Garden Inn in Carlsbad, the event raised thousands of dollars in support of the Center which provides shelter and transitional housing for women and children. Windermere was proud to be a sponsor for a second year. Katie Alfrey, Windermere agent, and Brent Consedine, Managing Broker for Windermere’s Carlbad and Solana Beach offices attended the event which included a silent auction.

Guest, Brent Consedine and Katie Alfrey attending the WCR benefit
Two speakers addressed the 150+ event attendees, which included City Council members of Oceanside and Carlsbad. Both speakers related their first-hand experiences of the benefits of the shelter and transitional housing. The monies raised will be used to provide educational and cultural opportunities, including field trips to the local Museum of Making Music in Carlsbad, plays, school supplies, counseling and assistance revamping the playroom and playground at the shelter. If you are interested in showing your support to the Women’s Resource Center of Oceanside, click here.
Windermere Kick-Starts YMCA Campaign Again This Year
Managing Brokers Bryan Arnold (Palm Desert San Pablo), George Baca (Indio), Danail Jekov (Cathedral City) and Don Rossignol (Rancho Mirage) along with our Palm Desert and Indio agents were proud to represent Windermere at the Family YMCA of the Desert’s kick-off event for their 2013 Sustaining Campaign. The Windermere Foundation has granted money bi-annually to the Family YMCA of the Desert since their Windermere Kids at the Y program began in 2006.

Don Rossignol presented Event Chair Carl Karcher of Carl’s Jr. with a check for $4,250 from the Windermere Foundation. Attending dignitaries included Olympic Gold Medalist (and SoCal native) Janet Evans, Palm Desert Mayor Jan Harnik and Palm Desert Councilman Van Tanner among many others. Event attendees were delighted by the entertaining skits and moved by the compelling stories shared by YMCA staff members, who were once beneficiaries of the Y’s incredible programs.

The Children’s Discovery Museum of the Desert held their Annual 2013 Discovery Home Tour during February, and Windermere was there again this year to make it a smooth ride! For many years now, Windermere has donated the use of our commercial driver and the Windermere Bus, normally used for agent and office caravans, for the Museum’s tour of homes fundraiser. Windermere’s Greg Wootan graciously chauffeured event attendees to each stop on the tour and then returned attendees to the Museum in Rancho Mirage.
The tour of homes included the gorgeous home seen here, now listed by Windermere’s Roseanne Foxx. Located in Rancho Mirage’s exclusive Cypress Pointe is a contemporary gated community of 11 luxury homes and one available lot. Homes in Cypress Pointe are noted for their elevated view lots, impressive “boulderscapes” and oasis of waterfalls.
