25 TOTAL SALES IN 2010!

The Toscana Sales Team finished the year with another sale in December to bring the Total Sales at Toscana to 25 transactions for 2010.  The Toscana Sales Team negotiated and was directly involved in 19 of those transactions ......76% of total sales.

  • 15 Resale Transactions
  • 10 New Home Sales (8 completed homes, 2 homes to be built)
  • $42,265,750 in total volume

We had one of the best sales years for luxury home communities in the Desert and the interest in Toscana is strong.  The new year is off to a great start and we have seen a significant increase in the number of guests visiting us in the Sales Center.  For a national perspective, click the link to read a recent article in the Wall Street Journal: Market for Vacation Homes is on the Rise

Toscana Sales Team Update

After many wonderful years working with Sunrise Company and most recently Toscana, Ingrid Brown has resigned to pursue new interests.  She will be missed and we wish her the best in her new endeavors.

To assist with the increased number of guests and prospective purchasers, we have added Linda Menne, Director of Club Membership, to our Real Estate Sales Team.  Linda is now licensed and will be acting in a dual role with membership and real estate sales. 

Membership and real estate sales are so closely related at Toscana because the Club represents the lifestyle of the community.....it is the ultimate reason people purchase at Toscana.  Having Linda as an official part of the Real Estate Sales Team is a great benefit to us and she will continue to be an integral part of the overall Toscana Team.
