Our home in PGA West, La Quinta was on the market, with a series of realtors, for a little over 5…read moreyears. We absolutely could not sell it without giving it away to investors who wanted to offer $100,000 - $150,000 less than market value. One of the problems was that a large part of PGA West is a second home market and that particular market was all but dead. Our fifth listing had expired, and my wife and I had all but given up, when Krista Coyle from The Holland & Gaertner Group called me. She told me that she would love to list our home as her and her company specializes in selling homes that haven't sold during previous listings. I told her I'd get back to her because don't they all say that? When I didn't get back to her, she called again and told me she was sending me a selling/listing brochure with all the services they could provide us. After I received the brochure, I still didn't call her. Well, Krista wasn't going to take no for an answer and called me again. She was relentless and purely driven. When she called again there was such determination and confidence in her voice that I conceded to an interview. Krista and Anthony Holland (a co-owner of the company) came out to give us their presentation and we were extremely impressed. The "can do" attitude and their extensive knowledge of their market were obvious. My wife and decided to give The Holland & Gaertner Group a shot and signed a listing form. Our we glad we did! We listed our home with Krista and Anthony in November 2015 and it was sold in March of 2016. I couldn't believe when we got an offer that was a real legitimate offer and not some investor trying to steal the property. We received a full $65,000 more than our best offer with our last realtor who,by the way, always made us feel like he was working harder for the buyer that for us. If you want to sell your home, we highly recommend you give Krista a call. The proof is in the pudding as they say.
