I can't say enough about the superb service Lori brings to the sale or purchase of a property. We…read morehave purchased two homes in the last year and a half using Lori as our agent.

His name is Chase Owen. The few times that I made requests for things to be done Chase Owen would say don't micromanage me and I know what I'm doingBecause I'm one of the top realtors both in California and in the period. He even would threaten to cancel our agreement for him to sell my house after I would just make a very simple request. When we had an offer on my house the offer was for about $20000 less than the asking price and I wanted toMake a counter offer splitting it down the middle. Chase questioned my Rationale for my counter and as a result I reduced my counter by a few thousand dollars. Later I found that the home two doors from me which was smaller sold for about fifteen thousand dollars more than mine. I just got the distinct impression that Chase Owen wasn't doing his best to represent me. I also saw an email from the selling agent to Chase that was inadvertently sent to me where they spoke in a very disparaging and unprofessional way about me. Even though Chase Owen told me he is onee of the top agents in Palm Springs ans the nation I could not find that anywhere online. I also couldn't find any reviews for Chase Owen anywhere. I am giving him two. Stars because the photographer he brought in did a phenomenal job. If you want a real estate diva like someone who thinks they should have their own HGTV show then Chase Owen may be your guy. If you want someone who is honest,sincere and professional I suggest you look elsewhere.

Love, Love, Love Raquel! Although it was my first real…read moreestate selling experience for myself, I can't imagine anyone doing more for the seller than she does. Raquel is with Remax in Palm Desert, CA. She loves her work and her clients and goes over the top for them. This is the saga... My friend wanted to sell his property in Whitewater. It was in bad shape and had a tenant living in a two bedroom casita in back. When Covid hit, he decided not to pay rent. Couldn't evict him due to the ban or get him to leave either. He was angry over something of which no one could figure. He wasted utilities causing bills to rise 1000% and sabatoged HVAC, major equipment and appliances. My friend had a close friend in real estate he wanted to give the listing to, but she handed it off to Raquel Davalos whom she highly recommended as the "best." He was put in very good hands. Raquel found a buyer right away. Throughout the pandemic & tenant issues she made the long treks out to Whitewater regularly with paperwork and also became a mediator between my friend and the tenant to get his cooperation. After all the months of work Raquel put in, my friend suddenly decided not to sell! What a disappointment that must have been, not to mention the money she spent taking us to lunches and travel expenses. When it came time to sell my house I was afraid to ask her for fear she would utterly refuse. I remembered all her efforts. But she didn't flinch. Her understanding of the bizarre circumstances was perfect. She took me on without question and showed me the professionalism and care I could have only dreamed of. I was taken to lunch several times. I took my time reading the paperwork and met with her time and time again to ask questions and get answers. She was patient and kind, holding calls while we talked. She listened to my life's story and my concerns. She didn't get upset over anything I wanted to do. I did my research and she did her thing. She's had over 25 years experience an knows all the ins and outs. It took months for me to actually feel ready to put my house on the market. And although I was selling it "as is" I still wanted to do some repairs first. I thought I had a hidden water leak under the foundation that would cost a fortune for me to fix. Both I and my friend searched high and low for this leak but couldn't find it. The water had been turned off for months now. But Raquel found the leak! It was the toilet! It was a miracle to me that it was an inexpensive fix (PTL). We turned off that supply and the main water back on until a plumber could come. In addition, large sections of the fence had blown down in the wind storms we had that year. Raquel didn't want me to have to worry about a thing and took care of it for me. She also had a handy man come and install new smoke detectors and cleaning ladies to clean for me. All was going so well, until I hired the fellow to fix the kitchen sink faucet. He stopped the drip but apparently caused another leak underneath that was not discovered for weeks. I found flooding and a disaster. He said he'd fix it but then reneged. I had to find a reasonable plumber now. I found a great one and although he was busy and I waited quite some time, he took care of the toilet, sink, valves, put in a new kitchen faucet for free when the parts sent to him were not fitting... he was great! Shout out to Kerry of KMac plumbing. Raquel was chopping at the bit to get this house on the market. She let me know that during those days no fixes were necessary. People were buying anything they could get their hands on and doing their own makeovers. I should have paid attention and taken her advise. I would have saved myself lots of time and money. I was still certain a family would want to walk into a clean house with clean windows. Raquel had taken care of the cleaning ladies before the flood, now it was much later with cabinet restoration going on, and when that was complete I wanted the house cleaned again. I'd pay myself if she would give me the number. But Raquel came and actually cleaned the house herself! Can you imagine! Windows too! She is beyond wonderful! I had a buyer within a week. Got the price I had planned on, and everything went as smooth as silk. There is no guarantee yours will go like clockwork but once I accepted the offer escrow closed in a month. Raquel is the "best" just like we were told. No one is perfect, but you can't find better than Raquel Davalos, Remax Real Estate Agent. Then when all was said and done, Raquel invited me, and the old friend who pulled out of his sale, to a celebration dinner in Palm Springs. We had it all. From soup to nuts! She was attentive to all we had to share and never once brought up anything from the past that might throw a damper on the evening. You want a Realtor who cares about You as well as selling your house? She's the one. A faithful, loyal, professional, people-pleasing server.

I have never met a real estate agent who works so hard, and does so many extraneous tasks related to the real estate to make your experience a good one. He has done everything we've asked him to do in a very timely manner, and is super gracious and positive about the whole experience. I cannot recommend him enough. We have found a place we are in love with, and he made that possible. He is not pushy, and is very honest about his opinions about property. I knew I could trust his judgment! Use Maurice as your agent - you will not be sorry! I would use him for every real estate transaction I ever did again if I could!
