I have worn many "Hats" in my career. I began in "Luxury Fashion", opening my first retail establishment in downtown Seattle -1982. By 1984, I worked along side the founders of the German fashion house, Escada, Margaretha and Wolfgang Ley, to open and operate Escada's first retail store in the U.S, (Second in the world). For the next 18 years, my business continued as Escada's exclusive distributor in the Northwest and Utah along with representing many other top clothing designers in my four retail establishments. A combined eye for luxury and an understanding of the growing local Real Estate market, began my investment and design business into luxury properties. In January, 2022, I became a licensed real estate agent with Coldwell Banker in Palm Springs. In following the trends in the local market, I have recently moved to Royale Real Estate, a real estate firm, focused on Sales- Investment -Vacation Rental and management, a niche that fit the requests I was hearing from my clients. I am now located right in the heart of old town La Quinta! Think of me when you or your clients are thinking of real estate in the desert, a one stop boutique shopping experience with Realtor, Jeri Rice and of course, I will give you the Royale treatment.
