The Desert’s Top Sellers

Palm Springs Life partnered with the Coachella Valley’s two real estate associations to determine the region’s top agents and teams.

ARTICLE FROM PALM SPRINGS LIFE

The COVID-19 pandemic created unprecedented conditions for the real estate market in the Coachella Valley, and local agents were up to the challenge. As homebuyers sought the wide-open spaces and easy living of the desert communities, prices soared, inventory shrank, and properties changed hands at record speed.

Amid the excitement generated by the activity, Palm Springs Life set out to recognize the individual agents and teams who capitalized on the opportunity. To produce this feature, we partnered with the two local real estate associations — California Desert Association of Realtors (CDAR) and Palm Springs Regional Association of Realtors (PSRAR) — to evaluate MLS sales data for almost 4,000 agents and teams in 2020. We cross-referenced the data with Terradatum’s BrokerMetrics and verified the numbers with each agent’s broker/manager.

We thank Robyn Spiller and Eric Bailey of PSRAR, Annette Coffee of CDAR, and Todd Banks of HK Lane as well as core committee members George Rider (Compass, CDAR board member), Scott Newton (Bennion Deville Homes, CDAR board member), and PSRAR president James Ronald Whitney. Each individual played an important role to ensure the accuracy of these lists, which were compiled by Randee Bayne of Palm Springs Life Homes.
