The estate houses 5 bedrooms and 5 baths with 5,000 square feet of living space, the property exhibits a unique design that is popular to the Palm Springs area. The estate was designed by architect William Kriesel, and built by Robert and Helene Alexander. Robert was famous in the architecture world for constructing more than 1,200 modern homes in the Desert, which earned him his fame. The home is also notoriously known for being the honeymoon spot of The King himself, Elvis Presley, amongst other celebrities who visited it.   Other notable facts, the estate was dubbed by LOOK magazine as the Home of Tomorrow in 1962 for its unique design. Congratulations on the listing Mary Kay!

 

 

This property is an architectural, eco-friendly feat, largely in part to being built by James Chuda as his own private home; this was well before sustainability was prevalent in our culture. The property was built with non-toxic building materials, and as a result was chosen as a finalist for the ‘Los Angeles Beautification Award.’ In fact the estates design was so admired that Olivia Newton-John used the property as a prototype for a much larger scale version, which James Chuda also built. Other notable facts for the property are that it was featured on 20/20 With Barbara Walters, as well as being published by Rizzoli International Press.  Congrats you two! Keep up the great work.

 

 

 

In the age of technology it is important for agents to look at ways to diversify themselves from the competition. With more people turning to the Internet to find what they are looking for, it becomes important to cater to these tech savvy clients. Ben Bacal has utilized this tool to the fullest, and often uses videos he produces himself to sell his properties. These videos are tastefully thought out from beginning to end, and can easily rival any popular music video, as a result Ben creates a scenario that a buyer could easily find themselves in. It is this carefully thought out marketing that has helped Ben set himself apart from the competition. We couldn’t be prouder of you Ben, keep up the good work.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Brian selling three of my properties. One was my main residence and the other two were rental properties. The first rental property needed some work done prior to it being listed but I was out of town. Not only did Brian handle all the work that was needed he also was able to sell the property on the first day and negotiated a price that was above asking price. I was very impressed.

 

Then after having no luck selling my primary residence for a couple months with the so called “expert” in my area I asked Brian to step in and help me. In a period of 2 weeks Brian had four open houses, handled all the inspections and repairs for me and the house sold in two weeks and for exactly what Brian had it listed for. I’m a bit difficult to work with but Brian made sure I was informed on a daily basis and made the entire process easy for me. I appreciated that.

 

I then moved to the east coast and when it was time to sell my last rental property I obviously contacted Brian to list and sell property. Once again the property needed a fair amount of repairs and once again Brian handled everything from A to Z. The repairs were made and the house was listed and sold on the first day for our asking price. This was all done without me even being there. What a great experience that was.

 

I highly recommend Brian to anyone who is selling their property. He goes the extra distance to make things work, he is a sharp negotiator and more importantly he is a closer! In every case did what it took to close all my deals quickly and for what I was asking. He’s the best I’ve ever worked with and in my opinion the best in the business. Thank you Brian for doing what it took to sell my properties. You are simply the best!

Dear Barbra:

 

On behalf of the Buss Family, please accept our appreciation and gratitude for guiding us in the sale of the estate home of our beloved father, Dr. Jerry Buss.

You made the process of marketing, negotiating and closing the property seamless.  We appreciated the constant communication and updates throughout the sales effort.  You knew how to handle all of the demands that come with a high profile property and anticipated and dealt with problems that arose because of it.

We could not be more pleased with the final outcome and especially since you found us a special buyer for a very special home which made the transition even easier.

We would recommend you as an excellent real estate broker who is willing to go beyond expectations and will not hesitate to contact you should the need arise.

 

Best regards,

 

Jeanie Buss
