Engel & Völkers Continues Its Western Expansion With Coachella Valley Shop Location

Engel & Völkers announced today its newest location opening in Palm Desert, CA, the brand’s first in the Coachella Valley. The new shop will be led by license partners Scott Piercy and Bronwen Campbell, along with managing broker Cindy Jones. Piercy has over 30 years of international management, marketing, and sales experience and spent the past 12 years marketing and brokering luxury waterfront properties with Engel & Völkers Victoria Oak Bay. Campbell has been an advisor with Engel & Völkers since 2020 and, prior to that, had a career in real estate appraisal and valuation. Together, Piercy, Campbell, Jones, and their team of expert real estate professionals will introduce Engel & Völkers’ boutique-style approach to real estate and globally connected network to the Coachella Valley.  

“The Coachella Valley real estate market is up-and-coming, with property values continuing to rise in the California desert,” said Anthony Hitt, president and CEO, Engel & Völkers Americas. “Over the past two years, more people have moved to the area full-time, which now boasts over 463,000 permanent residents. Piercy, Campbell, and Jones have all built very successful careers in the Canadian and California markets, and I am certain their industry expertise and business acumen will extend to the new shop in Palm Desert as well. We have the utmost confidence in their team of advisors to successfully establish Engel & Völkers as the go-to brokerage for luxury real estate in the Coachella Valley.” 

Engel & Völkers Palm Desert will service the Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta, and Indio markets. The new shop is centrally located on the iconic El Paseo Drive, a street known as the “Rodeo Drive of the Desert” for its luxury shopping, palm tree-lined boulevards, beautifully landscaped gardens and many great restaurants and cafes. The Coachella Valley has become a trendy spot known for hosting sporting events, film festivals, and music concerts throughout the year. Additionally, the valley has over 120 golf courses and hiking trails. These factors all contribute to this area being a highly desirable place to not only live but also to invest in real estate. 

“The Coachella Valley is a great fit for buyers looking for a second home or to live full-time in a resort-type area,” said Campbell. “It offers 354 days of sunshine annually, with average temperatures of 75℉, and a plethora of recreational amenities and activities, including golf courses, tennis facilities, hiking trails, cycling, and shopping. It’s also conveniently located just a few hours from multiple big cities in Arizona, Utah, and California. The options are endless for anyone seeking a home base that is not only conveniently located but also offers lots of outdoor events and activities year-round.” 

“We’re thrilled to be bringing Engel & Völkers to the Coachella Valley,” added Piercy. “The luxury real estate market here is currently under-serviced and under-represented. The white glove service Engel & Völkers offers is rare in real estate and will bring tremendous value to the area. Our personalized approach to client service is the perfect fit in catering to the high demand of luxury real estate  buyers and sellers in the valley.”
