Sandro has closed over $1 billion in career sales, including Malibu’s highest residential sale in 2011 and highest land sale in history. Let Malibu's leading real estate family guide you through the process. As the No. 1 producing agents in the Malibu Colony office of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, Irene Dazzan-Palmer and Sandro Dazzan have sold more than $1 billion in luxury coastal real
estate. They have been the No. 1 agents consistently for the Malibu Colony office for the last 13 years. For nearly 30 years, Irene Dazzan-Palmer has been hailed as "the queen of coastal real estate." A consistent top producer in Coldwell Banker's Malibu Colony office and an Estates Director for Coldwell Banker Previews Internationa, she has amassed nearly $2 billion in career sales and a history of selling some of the nation's most significant coastal homes alongside her partner and son, Sandro Dazzan. These achievements have helped Irene earn a prestigious membership in the Society of Excellence, Coldwell Banker's highest honor for the top 1% real estate agents nationwide. Irene's record listings and sales have been the subject of international attention over the last three decades, and span from Forbes and the Wall Street Journal to the Los Angeles Times. She has also been widely recognized in the media as a luxury real estate authority, appearing in national television broadcasts such as NBC's "Today Show" and prestigious publications like Los Angeles magazine. A resident of Malibu since 1980, Irene attributes much of her success to her passion for the place she calls "paradise" From Malibu's wine-producing canyons to its legendary beaches and estate properties, her appreciation and knowledge of the region has become an advantage for her affluent clients, who range from Fortune 500 executives to celebrities. They continue to value her hands-on approach, persistence, strong negotiating skills, unsurpassed global network and insider knowledge, above all else. She is particularly beloved among her seller clients, who tout her aggressive marketing strategies and Malibu market intelligence as her top assets. When Irene is not previewing estate properties or helping celebrities find their next Hollywood escape, she enjoys spending time with her family, running on the beach, hiking in the canyons and hitting the gym for a spinning session or wine tasting. She is in good company on the latter activity: her husband, Jim Palmer, is the proud owner of the local award-winning Malibu Vineyards and has been growing wine grapes in Western Malibu since 1997. Whether sharing the experience of wine with her clients or marketing a home to the global elite, Irene is committed to offering the highest quality representation and service. Her track record says it all. Sandro Dazzan has quickly earned a place among Malibu's top real estate agents. Part of Coldwell Banker Malibu Colony's No. 1 producing agent with his mother, Irene Dazzan-Palmer, Sandro has closed $250 million in home sales, including Malibu's highest in 2011 - despite only being in the business since 2005. His rapid trajectory of success recently caught the attention of Forbes, which named him on the magazine's "30 Under 30" list. Sandro is one of those rare individuals who can say he was born and raised in Malibu, one of the most coveted real estate addresses on earth. From a young age, he watched his mother's real estate business flourish. After obtaining his bachelor of arts in economics in 2005 from UCLA, Sandro made a choice that changed the course of his career: he gave up a chance to work as an investment banker at Morgan Stanley in order to enter the family business of real estate. Today, Sandro could not be happier with his decision. He finds great fulfillment in helping clients buy or sell their dream home, but particularly excels with buyers who value his laid-back approach, ability to listen and grasp of technology. A skilled networker and self-described "people person," Sandro is constantly meeting new people in and around Malibu who often lead to new business listing opportunities. He can often be found attending board meetings at the Malibu Association of REALTORS, where he has served as secretary treasurer for the last six years. He also sits on the board of Combined Los Angeles Westside (CLAW), the local Multiple Listing Service. His level of involvement and passion for the Malibu community has meant his clients benefit from his ever-expanding network. Away from the office, he somehow manages to take advantage of the famous Malibu weather by fitting in a surfing session on a weekly basis and hiking in the Malibu canyons. A yoga enthusiast, he also remains steadfast in leading a balanced lifestyle, preferring to leave his stresses on the mat. These activities are all points of connection for his clients, who see Malibu as the ultimate escape on the coast.
