🏆⛳ We Won! Harcourts Luxury Real Estate & Auctions was honored to receive the award for Most Fun Putt Putt Hole at this year's Annual Putt Putt on El Paseo hosted by the Palm Desert Chamber of Commerce! 🎉

What an incredible evening filled with fun, friendly competition, delicious food, networking, and plenty of laughter as El Paseo businesses came together for one of the community's most anticipated events.

We loved welcoming everyone into our El Paseo office, which we transformed into a creative mini-golf experience complete with tasty treats, great conversation, and lots of memorable moments. It was a pleasure connecting with players, meeting new faces, and sharing the excitement throughout the evening.

A huge thank you to everyone who visited our hole, participated in the fun, and helped make our award-winning setup such a success. We are grateful to be part of such a vibrant and supportive business community.

Special thanks to the Palm Desert Chamber of Commerce for organizing another outstanding event that showcases the best of El Paseo and Palm Desert.

Family, friends, and our community, we are asking for your support for my cousin, Nick Palermo, who has recently been diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. As he begins this challenging journey toward healing and recovery, the medical expenses and financial burdens can quickly become overwhelming.

To help ease some of these costs and provide support along the way, a fundrazr campaign has been established in Nick's honor. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference and help provide peace of mind as he focuses on what matters most—his health and wellness.

🎨 As a special thank you, anyone who donates $100 or more will receive a 12" x 12" authenticated print of Nick's best-selling artwork - The Highland Cow.

Nick is not only a talented artist but also an incredible person whose strength, resilience, and positive spirit continue to inspire everyone around him. Now is our opportunity to rally around him and show him that he is not facing this battle alone.

👉 Follow the fundrazr link to learn more about Nick's story, make a donation, and join us in supporting his fight to wellness.

Every share, every donation, and every message of encouragement helps. Thank you for your generosity, kindness, and support.

Our friend Nick has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma and has just started chemotherapy. To help support him, we’re gifting a 12x12 print of his art for donations of $100+. All proceeds go to Nick and his family to help navigate this difficult time.

Luxury… but make it fun 😎✨

Scott Palermo & James Sanak of Harcourts Luxury Real Estate & Auctions stepped out for a playful photo shoot with the all-electric Rolls-Royce Spectre — and let’s just say, things got stylish real fast.

Set at the beautiful Chateau Dumont, this shoot was all about mixing elegance with personality, proving that luxury doesn’t always have to take itself so seriously.

Huge thanks to our friends at IndiGO Auto Group for letting us take this incredible ride for a spin (and a few photos 😉).
Because in real estate — just like in life — it’s all about enjoying the ride.
