“Marlene came to us with a dynamic sales record in California’s Gold Country where she worked in markets very similar to the resort communities and residences of the Coachella Valley. We are pleased that she selected Windermere to continue her career in real estate,” said Sandy Beakey.

With over $260 million dollars in personal transactions, June is an intelligent, dynamic real estate professional who knows how to create, negotiate and close the best deal for her clients. Her years of marketing and sales experience extend back to her career prior to real estate when she was Director of Marketing for Max Factor Cosmetics. June and Terry, her husband and fellow Windermere agent, appreciate the natural beauty and plethora of engaging attractions that the Coachella Valley holds, and pass that along to each client.

“I am thrilled to have June join our office in Old Town La Quinta,” said Sandy Beakey. “Her background in marketing combined with her real estate market experience make her a wonderful addition to our office. I look forward to working with her and helping her further her impressive sales record and excellent client service that she provides.”

Carolyn Morris’ career in real estate started off simply with her desire to make better-educated decisions regarding her own real estate interests as an investor. “I started taking classes so that I would be a better informed investor, but halfway through my first class I knew I was going to switch careers,” said Carolyn. Over seven years of experience in the fast-paced and challenging Bay area market, Carolyn represented both buyers and sellers in a variety of real estate purchases from first homes to high-end luxury properties. She has represented everything from single family homes to condos to tenants in common, 1031 exchange, trust and probate sales.

After an honorable discharge from the Marine Corps, John Winters moved from Las Vegas to the Coachella Valley in 1995 with over 25 years of hotel and casino industry experience. A licensed Realtor® in Palm Desert for the past 14 years, John is dedicated to his buyers’ and sellers’ satisfaction and knows how to guide his clients in any type of real estate transaction. An investor himself, John has experienced both sides of the real estate transaction personally and knows what it takes to get an optimal price for property whether buying or selling. Whether it’s a golf course estate, a second home, or condo, John always works diligently. His success is motivated by his drive to help others and his strong family values.

“John is an absolute professional who is dedicated to this industry and his clients,” said Sandi Richardson. “His enthusiasm and diligence on behalf of his clients sets them at ease.”

Carolyn and John will enjoy this dynamic office that sits only a block away from El Paseo with easy access to great cafes, restaurants and shopping for their clients. Like all Windermere Managing Brokers, Sandi is a non-competing Broker and is always available for her agents, offering weekly ongoing education classes on a variety of topics. “I am so excited to have both Carolyn and John join our office and to help them grow their success in real estate even more.”

Windermere Real Estate welcomes Linda Chen Olsen to its La Quinta office at 47-250 Washington Street, La Quinta.  Linda, whose real estate career spans over a decade in the Coachella Valley market, brings a most impressive insight to her desert clients, especially those who recognize and appreciate the area’s presence and influence in the world of golf. Linda, a resident of PGA West for more than 25 years (and a full-time resident for nearly 15 of those years), has been an active golf member from the start.  Her dedication and hard work have served her well, leading to her record 15 awards as Ladies Club Champion. Numerous other professional titles include California State Women’s Champion, and three years on professional golf tour in Asia and the United States.  Today, she applies her considerably energetic approach in service to her real estate buyers and sellers. Specializing in PGA West and other luxury gated communities across the Coachella Valley, Linda’s clients appreciate not only her intrinsic knowledge of the desert’s higher end communities but her ability to communicate clearly with clients who may not be fully conversant with the Coachella Valley’s complex and varied real estate market. Nurtured by her extensive international travels, Linda speaks fluent Taiwanese, Mandarin, and even some Japanese, language skills much appreciated by her international clients interested in becoming a part of the desert’s vibrant multifaceted lifestyle. “Linda certainly represents the finest in today’s Windermere Realtor®,” says Bob Deville, co-owner, Windermere Southern California. “At Windermere, we recognize the huge range of features and opportunities that attract buyers to the desert. Not only has Linda built a legendary name for herself in the world of golf; she is able to apply that drive and dedication to her real estate clients. They clearly appreciate what she offers.”
