House search leads to $500 prize at Windermere
Open House Gala - 2010
Susan Irving of Palm Desert is the winner of the Windermere Real Estate Coachella Valley $500 Gift Certificate, awarded to the winning entry submitted during their Open House Gala.
Susan Irving attended Windermere real estate agent Andi Helgen's open house in Sun City Palm Desert, during Windermere's two-day Open House Gala, over the Easter weekend. Irving was just one of two hundred attendees who entered to win during the Open House Gala, which showcased more than 100 desert properties during two days. The Gala was open to the public and attendees could enter their names into the drawing at any of the open houses. Windermere holds Open House Galas periodically throughout the year.
Windermere was the first to begin the OPEN HOUSE Gala/Extravaganza/Celebration five years ago. "We are happy to see our fellow real estate companies pick up on our lead. More houses advertised OPEN to the public equates to an increased selection and better informed Buyers," says Windermere Real Estate Coachella Valley owner, Bob Deville. "Windermere has always understood and embraced camaraderie and the importance of continued cooperation and networking with other realtors and real estate offices."
Windermere Real Estate continues to lead the desert area in market share for listings and sales. With more than 625 local agents and 16 offices, we have the entire valley covered with professional agents ready and willing to assist anyone with their real estate needs.
Existing Windermere Real Estate offices are located in Palm Springs, South Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, On-Site office at The Club at Morningside in Rancho Mirage, On-Site office at The Springs Country Club in Rancho Mirage, On-Site office at Deep Canyon Tennis Club in Palm Desert, Palm Desert (Portola), Palm Desert (San Pablo), Indian Wells Main, Indian Wells Luxury Homes & Estates, La Quinta, Old Town La Quinta and Indio and Cathedral City, as well as offices in Garner Valley and Lake Arrowhead.

House search leads to $500 prize at Windermere
Open House Gala - Previous Winner
An open house sign with the picture of a familiar real estate agent led to a $500 prize for Fran Nadolski and Dianne Sluzas during Windermere's Open House Gala, a three-day event that took place over Memorial Day weekend.
"We happened to stop at the open house because we saw Joyce Nola's name," Nadolski said. "We went to an open house she hosted before and she was so knowledgeable and willing to spend time with us even though we told her we weren't quite ready to buy."
Nadolski and Sluzas were impressed with Windermere agent Joyce Nola earlier this year when she took the time to give them information about a house and its surrounding area despite the fact they had informed Nola that they were not ready to purchase a house.
The two women recently relocated to the Coachella Valley from New Jersey and are taking time to familiarize themselves with the desert.
"We've become open house junkies," said Nadolski.
Nadolski and Sluzas were sharing their time between New Jersey and Palm Springs since 2000 until they settled into a Palm Springs townhouse in the summer of 2007. Now, since they are retired, they want to use this time to explore California.
"This is just perfect timing because we really want to see the West Coast," Sluzas said. "We're going to use this money for a nice road trip."
A trip to Lake Arrowhead, financed with the prize money, is in the planning stages for Nadolski and Sluzas.
The women were just two of hundreds of attendees of the Open House Gala, which showcased more than 50 desert properties over three days. The gala was open to the public and attendees were able to enter their names into the drawing at any of the open houses.
Windermere holds Open House Galas throughout each year to open available properties to the public.
