TESTIMONIALS

My wife and I live in Canada and recently purchased a vacation home in Palm Desert. The support through the entire process from viewings, comparing properties, through closing and beyond was absolutely first class. Katie Pipitone is an outstanding realtor and become a trusted friend. We highly recommend her and DW & Associates.

We had the most professional, most personalized, and most patient service by this extraordinary team. Allison Renz was always available and went way above and beyond, not just to find us the right home and help make the right deal, but she was also invaluable as we moved in, got settled, and made the house our home. Truly excellent in every way.

Katie Pipitone, of DW & Associates, gets an A+ grade from us as a realtor! She was always available, always supportive, pleasant, and acting as our strong advocate. She got us access to numerous homes, including some "pocket listings," and was by our side throughout the process. She provided additional recommendations and "tips" to further improve our situation as the deal headed to a close, and we feel we came out ahead on this one, thanks to her hard work and knowledge.

Katie Pipitone did an absolutely amazing job for us through two purchases and one sale. Handled them with knowledge and professionalism and kept us informed at each step in the buy and sell processes. She went above and beyond and we are pleased to highly recommend her for all your real estate needs. Thanks Katie. Art and Judy

Allison and the rest of DW & Associates are masters at their jobs. We weren't actively looking for a house but Allison remembered that we at one time said we would be interested in changing for certain specific items. They know their clientele well. Both the purchase process of our new home and the sale process of our old home went as smoothly as possible and when small issues came up, Allison was quickly able to resolve them. She has an excellent contact list for all kinds of service providers able to provide repairs and we took advantage of this list to relieve stress. Allison kept us in the loop the whole time and directly answered all questions. Thank you Allison Renz and DW & Associates - we love our new house and are grateful for all the help you gave us. No one knows Indian Ridge better!

I was referred to Heather by my daughter and her husband who found a home in Palm Desert with Heather’s help. She came highly recommended but I soon found out for myself what a great resource she would be. Heather helped me find the condo where I now live. It was not easy and it did take several weeks, but Heather was a great support throughout the process. She was very responsive to all of my calls and emails. Day after day, she made herself available for showings without any delay. She kept me informed about properties on the market and those coming on the market. She expertly led me through the process of reaching an agreement with the seller to purchase a property at a particular price. She referred me to a range of professionals, including lenders, inspectors, insurance agents, trades-people, and even a handyman. Heather is smart, knowledgeable, personable, conscientious, and thoroughly professional. Anyone would be very lucky to have her helping with their real estate transaction. I would give her my highest recommendation.

Allison Renz is a personable, experienced, capable, hard working and confident real estate agent who is in the real estate business for all the right reasons - to help you sell your home and/or to help you find the home to best suit your needs. As a way of background, my husband and I showed up frustrated and unannounced at Allison’s office. We were sellers in a buyers market, living far away from the area and having had a previous failed attempt at selling with another agent. Allison and her amazing team were friendly, listened, strategized and put together a plan to take on the task of selling our condo. She immediately put us at ease. She was a dream to work with by creating professional materials for potential buyers and knowing our unit backwards and forwards, probably better than we knew it! She is an extraordinary salesperson who conducts herself with the utmost integrity and professionalism. In fact, her whole team works very closely together and always had our best interests at the forefront. We can’t use enough superlatives to describe Allison and her team, they are just truly amazing at what they do!

Katie Pipitone did a great job showing us numerous properties in Indian Ridge. Since I live out of state, she set up video tours of houses that I was interested in seeing, and helped beyond showing listings. She was at the property for the inspection and was a great resource for services and contractors. Everything went smoothly with our purchase using DW and Associates.

Heather Wong at DW & Associates is an amazing real estate professional with incredible service. We cannot thank you enough Heather for your attentive care to every request we had to see a place, to answering our questions and to following up with us as we secured our dream home in Indian Ridge. Selling our existing home was seamless and every detail was taken care of by Heather and her team, including after sale care and help with escrow, insurance, furniture removal, securing contractors, and more. We couldn’t believe the level of constant care and attention we received and would full heartedly recommend Heather to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She is absolutely wonderful!

Heather, Kristeen and the crew were wonderful to work with. I don't know how as first time California buyers we could have managed without their timely and informative help.

Our experience with DW & Associates has been exceptional! Heather Wong was terrific. Heather was professional, patient and extremely attentive throughout the process of finding our home, completing the paperwork, navigating the insurance needs and everything in between. We highly recommend DW & Associates.

We have worked with DW & Associates several times. They are so thorough, helpful and always willing to do more to make the whole process easier! Above all they are honest and realistic - Thank you to the great team!!

Dear Heather, Just want to thank you again for your wonderful representation for selling our home in Indian Ridge. You made selling our home a pleasure by helping us with so many details that came up along the way due to us having moved to a different city while our home was for sale. Nothing was too much for you to handle and we felt so safe with you there taking care of so many details. We would highly recommend you and your company to any and all people interested in buying or selling their home. Thanks again!

Absolutely outstanding service by Heather and the whole team at DW. We spent a lot of time changing our wish list and Heather was so accommodating. If you want to work with a professional and very smart RE individual then Heather is your first choice!

Many thanks to Terrie Pena for making the sale of our home at Indian Ridge such a seamless transaction. Terrie’s professionalism and expertise in all aspects of the sale were second to none. Being a foreign seller she guided me through every requirement, and reached out on my behalf to the professionals necessary to complete the sale. On top of that she is just a genuinely delightful person to be around. Again, thanks to Terrie and all of the staff at DW Associates.

We recently purchased a home using Terrie Pena as our agent. It was a pleasure working with her from the start. She began her search for us months before our visit to the area with phone calls, detailing our needs. On the 3 day visit with her we were able to find our dream home. We made an offer she negotiated on our behalf. She was professional, patient. She knew her market and was able guide us to make successful transaction. We cannot thank her and her staff enough for the wonderful experience Terrie and her staff provided.

Katie has been working with us for a year trying to find the right home for us. Her patience and thoughtfulness were exemplary. She was always available to answer questions and get everything lined up perfectly for us. The entire team she works with are fantastic and support each other through the purchase process so that we always felt they had our best interests at heart. Thank you for everything!

It is our pleasure to give an unqualified positive reference for Katie Pipitone and the entire DW & Associates team at Indian Ridge. We worked with Katie for almost a year as we moved towards buying a second home in Indian Ridge. She kept us informed on the market to the point we felt well informed when the right house came along. Katie is responsive, insightful, pragmatic and resourceful. The whole experience with Katie and the DW team was seamless and stress free. We highly recommend Katie and the DW team.

Heather, thank you very much for all your assistance in the purchase of our home in Indian Ridge. You and your team were excellent, including providing answers to virtually all of our questions to help alleviate any concerns when buying. Whether it was providing estimates for work that we are contemplating, dealing with a listing agent who may not be as experienced or arranging for work to be completed that the seller chose not to look after, made our experience very enjoyable. People who have experience buying and selling real estate know that there are a varying level of competence between real estate agents and in our opinion, Heather is exceptional! Thank you again Heather and the DW team.

The sale process for easy for us as Allison took care of all details with the sellers - very personalized service!

We recently worked with Katie Pipitone of DW Associates on the purchase of a condo in PGA West in La Quinta. Katie is probably the most knowledgeable real estate agent with whom we have dealt and has an deep understanding of the Desert market. Katie was very patient with us in our search for a vacation home and was a great advocate for us during the sale process. Katie and the team at DW Associates were very helpful to us both before and after the purchase. Really a pleasure to work with Katie and DW Associates and I highly recommend them.

Katie Pipitone of DW & Associates is an excellent real estate agent, by far the best that we've ever worked with. Katie is friendly, very well informed, very responsive, works hard to get you all of the information that you need and, most importantly, takes all the time necessary to make sure that a home is right for you and always works in your interest. We highly recommend Katie and DW for your real estate needs!

Terrie Pena and her colleagues at DW & Associates are a first class act. They handled the sale of our home very efficiently, and got us connected with an experienced escrow company and tax advisors. They gave us good advice on how to ensure our home showed well to prospective buyers, and in the end we sold it quickly and for a good price. Real estate sales are so often a source of aggravation and disappointment. Ours was just the opposite. Terrie...thank you for a great job. To anyone in the Palm Desert area, I highly recommend DW & Associates' services.

Heather Wong and the DW Team were a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend them. Heather was extremely attentive to every detail and she responded quickly to any questions or issues as they came up. The team is very knowledgeable about the Palm Desert market and couldn't have been more helpful. From start to finish, we received the best service we could have hoped for. Thank you Heather, Kristeen and the DW Team!

Dear Allison, How do I begin? I know what a great real estate broker is and you hit TOP MARKS! I know what a wonderful person you must be after so many years and you are certainly "the best of the best" that I have known. How does one fall in love with their realtor....ask me! Lots of love and thanks,

Wonderful agency to work with! We worked mostly with Terrie and she was amazing. Everyone went above and beyond which made selling our house an enjoyable, seamless process. I would highly recommend DW & Associates.

Katie, you and your team have went over and above for us and we so appreciate having you as our Realtor and now our friend.

Your continued help in getting contractors access to the house while we are in Boston is a great example of your great and ongoing service.

We recently purchased a house in Palm Desert and highly recommend the DW & Associates team. We worked with Allison Renz and Heather Wong for over two years, looking for a house in a difficult real estate market due to limited inventory. Allison and Heather were always extremely helpful, knowledgeable, patient, and overall terrific to work with. Allison was our agent for the house purchase and has also been very helpful afterwards, with great contacts for various work that we’re having done, as well as advice in general. Prior to purchasing we had leased houses through DW & Associates, working with Barry Goldstein who was also outstanding to work with. Every DW team member we had contact with was very helpful, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.

Our Real Estate agent, Terrie Peña, was amazing. She was responsive, very competent in the regulatory aspects, seemed honest, listened to what we were looking for and looked out for our best interest. We strongly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Katie Pipitone is the realtor you want! Five stars all around. Katie took great care of us. She's sharp, knowledgable, professional, helpful, patient -- beautiful inside and out!

Katie Pipitone is the best in the valley! She worked hard for us for almost a year to find our place and we will definitely share her with more potential buyers! Thank you Katie!

We highly recommend working with Heather Wong at DW & Associates. Heather and her team made the buying process so easy and seamless. We really enjoyed all of our interactions with her, and felt informed and educated about the whole process the entire time. Heather and Katie were so responsive - they answered all of our questions promptly, and made sure that we knew everything that was going on since we were not in the desert when we purchased the home. We will recommend Heather and DW & Associates to all of our friends, and we cant wait to spend more time at our new home in Indian Ridge!

Words can't express how grateful we are for all your help and support during this (somewhat challenging) time! I know our mom and dad are smiling down - knowing someone else will enjoy their home as much as they did. Thanks again!

Our experience with DW & Associates, and particularly with our realtor, Heather Wong, could not have been better!!! Heather is the most professional and delightful realtor we've ever worked with. Responsive, patient, sought to understand our needs & taste, proactive, informative, precise, not pushy / no pressure and above all always friendly.

Our realtor Katie Pipitone was fabulous and met every one of our needs in a timely fashion. Her communication was effective and we felt at ease with her at all times. Thank you for all your effort and professionalism. We really appreciate it.

I couldn't be more grateful for what Katie and DW & Associates did for us. After 50 days on the market with another realtor and no buyer in sight I reached out to Katie. Katie and the team were able to take the property stage it and re-list and have an offer for my parents in less than 10 days. Katie was always willing to do what's best for my parents first above everything else. Accommodating their needs and time lines. We couldn't have asked for more in an agent. Thank you to the DW team all were kind and professional. Best in the Desert!

I am so grateful for the help and advice I received from Terrie Pena. She assisted me for over a year with the sale of my home and finding the perfect home for me. She answered questions daily and went out of her way on many occasions to assist with all the questions I had moved from a different county. She's is very pleasant to work with, is honest and does what she says she will do. Ive owned quite a few houses and she is by far the best agent I've ever worked with. Im very happy with the service I received.

Terrie Pena and her team were outstanding! Providing all the guidance we needed, from shaping our sale, preparing the property and through the finish line of closing the deal - excellent service all the way!

We recently purchased a home in Indian Ridge in Palm Desert and had the pleasure of working with Terrie Pena of D&W Associates as our Realtor.

She is smart, very knowledgeable about the area and the home we were buying, experienced, and a nice person to work with. We highly recommend Terrie Pena and D&W Associates.

We cannot say enough good things about Heather and Allison. We put our house on the market and it was sold in 4 days. Both ladies were fun and very professional to work with. They were very in tune with our needs and desires. We so appreciate their handling of our sale.

DW & Associates, I just wanted to let you know what a delight your associate Katie Pipitone was and is to work with. She was always available to help with any questions I had and offered helpful information on vendors, HOA's, country clubs, etc. She was very generous with her time and patiently guided me through the many steps of buying a home. I felt she truly enjoys the work that she does and that just makes the experience so much nicer for the client. I would highly recommend Katie and your company and would not hesitate to use you and Katie in the future.

Working with DW & Associates was a great experience. Our realtor, Allison Renz was very patient with us, as we searched over a year to find the best home for us in Palm Springs. She was always available to answer our many questions and promptly show us properties. She really helped us with the purchasing process and did a great job in following up on details. We also appreciated her helpfulness in providing contacts for the various services we needed. We truly found a friend in Allison; we highly recommend her and the team at DW & Associates.

I highly recommend DW & Associates for anyone that's looking to buy a house. Katie and her team were really professional with the purchase of my house . She was very attentive to any questions or concerns that I had about the purchase. We stayed in touch throughout the process. Also Katie and her team helped me close sooner than expected which Im happy for. I will recommend to my family and friends who are looking to buy a house. Really happy with the service you guys provided. Thank you for helping me with my purchase.

CONGRATULATIONS Allison, Heather and DW Associates…For being recognized for over $100 million in sales with a minimal number of staff to achieve it. I already knew you guys were outstanding in your business and total professionals. I did not need a magazine to tell me you and your staff are fabulous. It is a major accomplishment to be recognized in the community as top sellers in real estate in the desert. You all have worked incredibly hard for this success and should take time to celebrate! You are the only real estate company we will ever use - no matter how many times GREG tells me we’re moving - because the house is too small, the backyard is too small, etc. hahaha! I think Greg keeps buying/selling houses so he’ll keep getting your Thanksgiving pie! We appreciate the pie at Thanksgiving and love seeing you all at that time of year! You’re truly incredible agents and friends Allison and Heather! Me and my family get very excited every time we see you! CONGRATULATIONS! KEEP IT UP!

My husband and I cannot say enough about our realtor Allison Renz DW & Associates. Allison was extremely helpful, open, transparent, and so very reliable through the whole process of selling our home. Allison and her staff really cared about us, understood our needs from the time we decided to list our home to the time it sold. If I may add, it sold in a week!! Allison was always available to answer our questions even after hours. All I can say is Allison is like having a friend on the "inside" that is truly working for you. I highly recommend Allison Renz and DW & Associates. Thank you, Allison!!

Heather Wong and Allison Renz were incredibly helpful, intelligent, honest, and paid careful attention to details large and small. They have a great support staff as well. Their sense of the Palm Desert market and in particular Indian Ridge CC sub-market was spot on and made our decision about buying a home reassuring. We loved every minute of working with them.

Heather was very knowledgeable, hard-working, principled, and an absolute delight to work with. We would have given her a 6-star rating if that was an option!

Great experience working with DW & Associates. Our realtor was extremely knowledgable navigating the purchasing process in California. She was professional, detailed, prompt to follow up, and a helpful resource after our home purchase.

We absolutely loved our realtor, Katie Pipitone! She walked us through every step in the buying process and always went above and beyond to answer any questions or concerns we had. She truly looks out for her clients. Even after closing, she helped recommend vendors she trusted for all our renovation needs. We didn’t just find a realtor, we found a new friend in Katie. Everyone we dealt with from DW and Associates was so professional, kind, and helpful. We highly recommend this agency to anyone searching for their desert dream home like we were.
