Testimonials

“We are so excited to be here in our new house. We are only here for a few days right now (we head back Tuesday late afternoon). Meeting with contractors etc. We will be back at the end of February and would love to get together with you to catch up.

It is not often that one can find a top realtor who is prepared to work hard with buyers who are in the early stages of a search for their dream home in the Desert. Elaine went out of her way to provide us with market information and came up with a list of homes in a number of different locations in the valley that she thought might fit our broad criteria.

She displayed unlimited time and patience showing us several homes with pleasure. Her assistance led to us purchasing a home that fit our specifications perfectly.

Her perseverance did not stop there. She worked hard to negotiate a very good price for the home that we fell in love with. Throughout the process, Elaine and her extremely hardworking, efficient and competent team were there to help answer questions and provide us with guidance on purchasing in the Desert. We would have no hesitation in recommending Elaine to assist anyone with their property transactions in the Desert. She is a realtor who is knowledgeable, hard working, trustworthy and an absolute pleasure to work with. “

“Thirty five days after first meeting Elaine Stewart, we now own a condominium in the Mission Hills Country Club. All the documents have been signed and registered—two binders full! And we have started making it our own. Thirty five days later and we are already looking at paint chips. This has to be ‘top speed and high efficiency’ no matter where the buyer and seller reside, but considering that the buyers (us) live in West Vancouver, British Columbia and the sellers in San Francisco California, this has to be nothing short of miraculous. Everyone on Elaine’s support team—it takes a team!— was smart, efficient and promptly responsive to any of our questions. She has helped us with the home inspection, with finding a contractor, with contents insurance. She continues to offer her support. She better be careful. She may never hear the end of us.

We highly recommend Elaine and her team. They are knowledgeable, trustworthy, super-efficient, and super-personable. “

“Having settled on the Palm Springs – Coachella Valley area as the location of our long awaited vacation home, we settled into the daunting task of researching real estate in this distant and foreign market. Knowing the right real estate professional, who would truly listen to our needs and desires, would make the process the least painful, we came across Elaine Stewart. My wife and I quickly felt at ease with her style, professionalism and dedication.

Elaine introduced us to the Coachella Valley and after numerous emails, websites, phone calls and eventually trips to the area, we became familiar and comfortable with the local real estate market. We found the vacation home of our dreams and with Elaine?s assistance, a deal was negotiated. With the deal in place, Elaine continued to assist us in navigating the escrow process.

With the professionalism Elaine showed us thru the real estate purchasing process, we knew we had selected the right person. We would enthusiastically recommend Elaine Stewart to any of our family, friends and acquaintances looking to purchase real estate in the Coachella Valley.

We would be happy to have this note posted to Elaine?s website and would have no obligation if anyone would like to contact us directly regarding our experience.

Thanks again Elaine, it?s been a pleasure! “

“We recently started the exciting, and terrifying, process of looking for and purchasing a vacation home in the Coachella Valley. As Canadian Residents, it was even more anxiety ridden as we were unfamiliar with all of the rules, regulations, extensive paperwork and issues that would go along with purchasing a property in another Country.

Despite doing some in depth background work, we were not fully prepared nor did we have the knowledge to complete this process on our own. We were extremely fortunate to have Elaine Stewart as our realtor. Not only did she show us a large variety of properties in our price range, taking several days out of her schedule to do this for us, but she stayed with and assisted us from beginning to end. From initial offer day through to closing, Elaine was there for us as an incredible source of advice and information.

We honestly would not have stuck with it, if it was not for her! Elaine has spent countless hours going through the entire process with us, assisting us in completion of paperwork and providing an invaluable source of other information that new home owners/foreign owners would find difficult locating on their own. We have already advised family and friends that we would highly recommend Elaine Stewart if they were to consider purchasing/selling any property in the Valley. “

“I was extremely impressed with Elaine’s general knowledge of the various communities surrounded the Palm Springs region, and how quickly she recognized what my priorities were, and their order of importance to me in my decision making process. She really went out of her way to ensure I saw a wide variety of houses, in several communities, in an effort to help me understand the positive and negative influences of each location. There was never any pressure on me to make a buying decision, only a desire on her part, to ensure that the choice I made was based on having as much information as she could supply me.

Elaine’s dynamic and friendly personality made me feel welcome, and my comfort/trust level with her was immediate. The selection and buying process was a real pleasure, and once that was completed the support offered by the Re/Max Escrow division, by Errikka and Diane, was outstanding. Being from Canada, and not understanding the local process, I was quite concerned about the final stages of processing the sale such as the home inspection, money transfers, and legal documentation,..it was made very easy and worry free by the Elaine and the Escrow staff.

I can’t say enough to express my sincere appreciation to Elaine for finding me the house that met my requirements, at a price I could deal with, in a timeframe of less than one week. And then to have all the worry taken out of the closing and documentation stage by the Escrow division, I would have to call it a perfect buying experience. I would most certainly use her services again, and would recommended her to any members of my family, friends or associates, without hesitation, who may be considering a home purchase in the Palm Springs area. “

“I had the pleasure during the last two months of dealing with Elaine Stewart, a real estate expert who works throughout the Coachella Valley.

I represented a group of Canadian investors looking to purchase a vacation condominium in Cathedral City, and, like most people who invest in a foreign country, had legitimate concerns about finding the right person for the job. When one purchases property from a long distance away, it is imperative to have someone who is not only extremely knowledgeable, but trustworthy as well. Happily for me, and the investors I represented, we found Elaine Stewart.

Ms. Stewart has not only impressed me with her knowledge and insight regarding the real estate market in California, and in particular the Coachella Valley, but has gone above and beyond the normal scope of her duties to give very helpful advice, and excellent service in assisting us to find the right property, deal with the negotiations for its purchase, and shepherd the escrow process through to its conclusion. In short, she has earned the trust I now repose in her, as well as the gratitude of the investors I represent.

I would, without hesitation, recommend Elaine Stewart to clients, friends, relatives, and anyone who is looking for a consummate professional to deal with a real estate matter in southern California.

I am happy to have this letter posted on Ms. Stewart’s website, as I am pleased to say to any readers of this letter that my experience in dealing with Ms. Stewart was altogether both enjoyable and successful.”

“I am a first time buyer in the desert area, and I was guided to Ms. Elaine Stewart, by my realtor in the Los Angeles area. Needless to say this was during the height of the holiday season between Thanksgiving and Christmas, as well as relocating to a permanent home in the desert. Elaine’s effort and guidance propelled me through many listings and showings, and she was able to pin point the pros and cons of areas and properties. With her due diligence she was able to match and meet the price point that I wanted, and I feel that the final outcome was most satisfactory, in which I finally decided on my future home in the desert, in Shadow Hills. Thanks to Ms. Stewart for her hard work and patience during this process and her wealth of knowledge and integrity in watching out for her clients best interest. I highly regard her professionalism and her entire teams effort, which encompasses and makes for a seamless transition, in the eyes of a client. Thank you Elaine for finding my new home. “

“After wasting almost a year with another agent trying to sell my house, I interviewed several agents and chose Elaine Stewart, who within a month had my house sold. My experience with Elaine and her staff was utmost pleasant and they are very professional in every way.”

“We were referred to Elaine by a friend who had recently purchased a home in La Quinta. From our first email last January, to actually meeting Elaine in April, through to purchasing our dream vacation home in August, we found Elaine to be a pleasure to work with. Elaine was professional, dedicated, knowledgeable and most importantly she was committed to helping us find what we were looking for. Once we found it, Elaine ensured that the whole process went smoothly.

Working with Elaine was an absolute pleasure and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase in the Palm Desert area. “
