County Document Scam Alert

Many home owners in San Bernardino County and Riverside County (Where Palm Springs is located) are receiving very official looking documents in the mail saying they need to order a copy of their grant deed to avoid foreclosure proceedings and prove that they own their home.

Like most scams it is designed to play on your fears and get you to pay money you do not have to spend. You may, at anytime get a copy of your Grant deed from a title company or the county for a very modest fee. Most everyone already has a copy of this in their final closing package from the Escrow/Title company.

Be careful of these bogus resellers of public information. If you receive any document, that pertains to your property, and are unsure what it means please check with a trusted local expert such as your Realtor, an attorney or your tax professional.

Moving Day - Keller Williams Palm Springs Relocates to A New Office

[slideshow]

The 2nd of June was a big day at Keller Williams Realty in Palm Springs.  We relocated our office from Tahquitz Canyon way to 435 N Palm Canyon Drive.

Our new home is located in the former Madison Jewelers building.  It has been remodeled into beautiful new offices for the fastest growing national real estate franchise in North America.  Exciting too is the fact that we have received the Luxury Homes designation.  While able to service the full spectrum of real estate sales the Luxury Division is a great addition to all the services we can provide to you.

The really good news is that nothing has changed except our street address.  All phone fax and email remain exactly the same.  Even the zip code is the same.  So change your address book while you are thinking of it to 435 N Palm Canyon Drive Palm Springs CA 92262.

Next time you are by the office please stop in we would love to show it to you. If you have any trouble finding it we are next to Hamburger Marys and the Elizabeth Taylor Walk of Fame Star is right at our entrance.
