Warren W. Smith
Vice President of Sales

What a great time to be in the Desert! The amazing weather, the BNP Paribas tennis tournament, Fashion Week and all the other events and activities attract a large number of visitors. We have been very busy in the Sales Center with these visitors and the guests that our Members bring.

With all that activity, we are excited to share our most recent summary of the 2014 sales and other highlights:

• 8 resale homes and estate homesites (5 sold and/or listed by Toscana).
• 5 new Sunrise homesites for to-be-built homes.
• 1 new completed Sunrise Signature Home.
• 2 new Sunrise Estate Homesites.
• 20 Sunrise Homes under construction.
• Over 1,500 guests visiting the Model Homes

DON'T FORGET! You can also benefit from the renewed interest in homebuilding as well! We have a great program in place to reward Realtors for selling new to-be-built homes: you will be paid a 3% commission on the price of the homesite and the base price of the home at the homesite closing, NOT at the end of construction. Please contact me or one of our Sales Executives for more information. Click here to read more about our Broker Program and to register your clients online.
