Experience and Specialty

Specializing in golf and country club and residential real estate in La Quinta and the greater desert communities, Ilene’s thorough knowledge of the area and ability to handle every step of the buying and selling process will
provide you with the expertise and personalized service you should receive from your real estate professional.

Having grown up in the San Francisco Bay Area, Ilene has an extensive background in commercial and
residential real estate development, and construction, project and financial management.  She has been a
resident of the desert area for over eight years, during which time she has been actively involved in the
residential real estate and investment market. 

Having enjoyed membership in several of the valley's golf communities, Ilene is especially qualified in assisting
and understanding the needs of clients who enjoy golf, tennis and the lifestyle that this incredible area has to
offer. One of Ilene's favorite challenges is determining which community is the best community for her clients; determining a client's preference for golf, tennis, an active social community or simply the privacy of a gated development are tools she uses in finding the prefect fit for her clients.

Working with both buyers and sellers throughout the greater desert area allows Ilene to keep an eye on the constantly fluctuating housing market and assures that she will be able to assist each and every one of her
clients in finding not only the right home, but one fitting her clients' lifetyle.  
 
Ilene is supported by a staff of professionals offering her clients only the highest level of service - client representation at its best and as it should be.  Ilene's advice to you is that,

Consumer Feedback for Ilene Piazza


"Ilene Piazza did a fabulous job for us. She worked with us to determine what it was we wanted, and then worked to find us houses that really fit what we needed. Ilene definitely knows the area and the nuances of the various golf communities. She never pressured us and was always happy to show us houses and accommodate our timeline and schedule. We loved working with Ilene, especially since she is a golfer and understands how important finding just the right community is to her clients. "

— Brian & Mary C., Home Buyer, La Quinta, CA


"Our heartfelt thanks goes out to Ilene Piazza for her knowledge, patience, and support. There were some stressful moments for us, but it was calming to know that we were being guided by a real estate industry expert, who had all of our better interests at heart. We are looking forward to moving in with a great bunch of neighbors... and of course looking forward to the views and sunsets! Again thank you, Ilene, for all your help. "

— Kristen & Joe T., Home Buyer, La Quinta, CA


"My husband and I weren't sure about choosing a community in the desert, but Ilene made the transition to our vacation home easy for us. Without knowing exactly what we wanted or where we wanted it, she patiently spent months with us, never pushing but allowing us to really look around. We found the perfect home for our situation and we know that down the road when it comes time to sell our home and buy our next home, Ilene Piazza will be our first call. "

— Peter & Deborah K., Home Buyer, La Quinta, CA


"We loved working with Ilene Piazza. She listened really well to what we wanted and understood quickly what we were looking for. She seemed to have a beat on the right sort of houses for us, so we only saw homes in communities that fit our lifestyle. She is diligent and detail-oriented and we always felt she had our best interests at heart. We wholeheartedly recommend working with her. "

— Scott & Laura B., Home Buyer, Palm Desert, CA


"Ilene Piazza is the best discovery we made in our plan to purchase a second home in the desert! Within hours of our first meeting with her, Ilene made us feel as if we were her only clients--her attention and service were that dedicated and caring. Ilene was very smart in helping us understand different communities and she never lost patience as we stretched our search for the perfect house over several months. We recommend her enthusiastically to both buyers and sellers. "

— Robert & Janet F., Home Buyer, Rancho Mirage, CA
