This seven days of film celebrations will turn the spotlight on luxury homes as film buffs head to the Palm Springs area to attend.

The festival is one of the largest showcases of short films in the nation. With seven days of competition it screens approximately 300 films in a series of 90 minute programs. Films are submitted in multiple categories including animation, student animation, live-action and documentaries. The huge celebration of the art of the short film includes a stellar lineup of seminars, special presentations and receptions and includes a Shortfest Film Market.

Schmett observed that, The art of the short film is really a spectacular accomplishment. In fact, in this particular film festival student submissions are encouraged and are a big part of the format. It is exciting every year to see new and emerging young filmmakers, many of whom have gone on to present at the Sundance Film Festival and even beyond. We always appreciate the boost we get in the real estate community when thousands of film buffs head to the Valley to attend this exciting event. Once people see what a great lifestyle we have to offer they want to relocate or purchase vacation homes. It is always our pleasure to welcome new neighbors.

Wednesday, May 14th, 2014


Rancho Mirage, CA (PRWEB) May 13, 2014

Brad Schmett, Broker Associate with Luxury Homes by Keller Williams today announced that as United Way of the Desert celebrates its 24th Annual VIP Gala on May 16, 2014 the local real estate community will receive a welcome boost to its luxury home sales as attendees head to the Valley to participate.

Holding its Build a Pathway Out of Poverty charity gala at the exquisite Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Rancho Mirage, United Way of the Desert will pull out all the stops to make this event one of the most important of the Palm Springs social season. Attendees will be dressed in California elegant attire as they kick off the evening at 5:30 p.m. on the Terrace, overlooking the Valley Floor, with cocktails. The Ritz-Carlton’s own premier chef will prepare dinner to be served at 6:30 p.m. followed by a Best of the Valley gift raffle and a Fund a Pathway live auction.

Schmett commented on the event recently, There is really not a grander venue anywhere than the Ritz-Carlton. I always say that there is no place like the Coachella Valley when it comes to combining charitable pursuits with elegance and having a great time. This event is certainly the epitome of that sentiment. As guests enjoy an evening of first-class elegance, they will be doing so to help others in a most caring way. We expect to show some of our best luxury homes during this week as United Way supporters had to the Valley for this event.

PGA National, One of Waterfront Properties Big Real-Estate Draws, To Have Celebrity Golf Benefit

Sunday, December 16th, 2012


JUPITER, Fla. (PRWEB) December 11, 2012

The Hospice of Palm Beach County Foundation will Party with the Stars on Dec. 14 at PGA National.

From 6:30 to 10:30 p.m., a cocktail reception will take place in conjunction with the fourth-annual Swing with the Stars Celebrity Pro-Am Golf Tournament on Dec. 15. Proceeds will benefit Hospice of Palm Beach Countys programs and services.

Hospice of Palm Beach County is a nonprofit provider of end-of-life care for area residents and offers a wide range of programs that aid adults, children and families in dealing with the death of a loved one. The goal of the foundation is to generate resources, raise money and recruit volunteers for the organization.

Party with the Stars will feature a sassy and spunky speakeasy theme and will offer fine food and signature drinks. Cost to attend is $ 250.

Silent-auction items guests can bid on include luxury spa packages, vacation stays, exquisite jewelry, golf outings and a backstage tour of NBCs Today show. Matt Lauer, the celebrity host of Today, has strong ties to Hospice of Palm Beach County, as his late father, Jay Lauer, was cared by its nurses before his death. For several years after that, the younger Lauer sponsored a memorial golf tournament at The Breakers in Palm Beach that teemed with sports celebrities.

Swing with the Stars gets underway at 7:30 a.m. Dec. 15 and will include a host of local notables, including Olin Browne, who lives in Hobe Sound, Mark Calcavecchia, who owns riverfront Property in Tequesta, and Michelle McGann, who grew up in one of the beachy homes on Singer Island. Cost to play is $ 1,000, which includes a pair of tickets to the previous nights festivities.

The golf tournament is limited to 100 players and will take place on the newly redesigned Fazio course. The Fazio course is one of five offered at the Palm Beach Gardens development and previously was named The Haig in honor of PGA legend Walter Hagen.

Following a complimentary breakfast that will be served at 7 a.m., golfers will have a chance to win cash prizes during the exciting helicopter ball drop. A luncheon and awards ceremony will follow the day of play.

Other professional golfers signed up to play include Beth Bader, Jean Bartholomew, Bob Murphy, Alena Sharp and Jackie Gallagher Smith. Football standout Steve Walsh also will participate.

Waterfront Properties and Club Communities is a leading purveyor of luxury real estate, and PGA National is one of its hot properties.
