About Laurie McLennan & The McLennan Team
25 Years of Local Expertise. Global Reach. White-Glove Service.
The McLennan Team is a luxury real estate partnership serving La Quinta, Indian Wells, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Palm Springs, and communities throughout the Coachella Valley. Led by 25-year market veteran Laurie McLennan, and supported by her daughter and business partner, Cailin McLennan, the team pairs deep local expertise with a white-glove, globally-informed standard of service for buyers and sellers throughout the desert.
Laurie McLennan: A Trusted Leader in Coachella Valley Real Estate
For more than 25 years, Laurie McLennan has built a reputation as one of the Coachella Valley's most trusted luxury real estate professionals — known for her integrity, market knowledge, negotiation skill, and a client list built almost entirely on referrals and repeat business. Laurie has guided buyers and sellers through every kind of market this desert has seen, and through nearly every one of its most prestigious communities.
Laurie specializes in luxury homes, golf course properties, country club communities, vacation homes, investment properties, and equestrian estates throughout La Quinta, Indian Wells, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and Palm Springs.
Her firsthand knowledge of communities including PGA West, Madison Club, Tradition Golf Club, The Hideaway, Rancho La Quinta Country Club, Indian Wells Country Club, BIGHORN Golf Club, The Quarry, Andalusia Country Club, and Griffin Ranch means clients get guidance rooted in decades of lived, local experience — not just MLS data.
A Generational Approach to Luxury Real Estate
Joining Laurie is her daughter and business partner, Cailin McLennan. Before real estate, Cailin spent her career producing high-stakes hospitality and VIP experiences for Formula 1, Riot Games, and Fortune 500 brand activations — work that demanded flawless execution, meticulous attention to detail, and a service standard with zero room for error.
Today, Cailin brings that same discipline to every transaction, adding a modern, detail-driven layer to Laurie's decades of market authority. Together, they give clients the advantage of generational local expertise paired with a globally-informed standard of service most agents in this market simply aren't built to deliver.
