Customer Testimonials
"Greg has a knowledge of the architectural history of the Palm Springs area that is second to none. And although he has not been in the game as long as others, his real estate knowledge defies this shorter tenure.
Greg was always there to answer our questions, no matter how tough, and being buyers from overseas, no matter what time! He's a dedicated professional that you can rely on to get the job done and we would highly recommend."

"This was the third real estate transaction that Clay has helped me with in the Palm Springs area.
I would never even consider using anyone else in the future. Clay always has my back with every detail of the transaction and his knowledge of the desert market is something I rely on for good advice.
Because of our close relationship with these transactions over the years, I’ve come to regard Clay as not only my realtor of choice but a friend as well.
Thanks Clay for another quick and stress free experience."

"Sara is very professional, attentive to detail and a pleasure to work with. She stayed the course through a very trying and frustrating closing process. Sara is a straight shooter and extremely honest with her clients. I can highly recommend her to anyone seeking a truly professional Realtor."

"We found ourselves in a small bidding war for the house we loved and Chris expertly guided us through it. He suggested things we could do to improve our offer. Ultimately we were successful. It was a little nerve wracking since we were doing this all long distance. But Chris had paid attention to details and negotiated with the seller’s very well so that the whole transaction went smoothly. He was good natured and patient as the process went forward. It’s important to work with a realtor that gives you that sense of security and confidence that the process is working and there aren’t any surprises. Chris Bale is that realtor."

"We worked with Will Paine on purchasing a condo in Palm Springs. He definitely had his work cut out for him with what we were looking for and he took our very specific wants and needs and helped us find the exact right place we were hoping for. We put in a couple offers that we didn't get, but when we finally did get an accepted offer, we were thrilled. As we were in escrow, we found the unit had a major leak (two leaks actually) and he was really a hero in coordinating the repairs with the listing agent and the HOA. Our closing date also pushed twice due to the repairs and our own financing hitting a snag, but really, Will stuck with us and went the extra mile to make sure everything was on the up and up and that we were going to be all set in this new place. We did not have an easy, breezy escrow period and we could not have done it without him. In addition, the vendors he suggested were also all fantastic. All in all, highly recommend Will and the Paul Kaplan Group!"
Tara & Art, Los Angeles (Buyer) Sat, 09 Feb 2019 07:03:48 +1000
"I'm so glad I worked with Will Paine of the Paul Kaplan Group to purchase my first home in Palm Springs. For over a year Will and I were in touch as I got my finances in order. When I was ready to start looking, Will was quick to provide listings for me to consider as I narrowed down my criteria.
When I was ready to visit some properties, Will compiled a comprehensive list within my budget. We looked at probably a dozen properties over two days and Will was patient in spending as much time as we needed and answering all questions. He never rushed or pressured me to move forward on anything if I had any reservations. His knowledge of the area and the architectural history of Palm Springs was super helpful. He always double checked with me when it came to decision time and guided me through the entire process.
I'm fortunate to have been able to work with Will and Paul Kaplan Group to find and purchase my first home."
Patrick Fagan, Palm Springs (Buyer) Sat, 02 Feb 2019 09:27:52 +1000
"We came to Mike Johnson by a referral from a close friend, as it turned out Mike checked all ‘the boxes’ for us. Mike is extremely knowledgeable and personal and we recommend him to anyone looking for a home in Palm Springs.
We found our dream home and the whole transaction was ‘easy, peasy’.
Mike was the best!"

"Jim Caldwell couldn't have done a better job helping me find the perfect condo. Always on time; always willing to go the extra mile from our first meeting to handing me over my keys everything couldn't have been more smoother. Buying any property requires a lot of details from looking at various property, negotiations with the seller, home inspections and signing all he documents and having a great Realtor really helps make the process a lot smoother. I thank Jim for his tireless efforts. I would highly recommend him."
James Grehn, Palm Springs, CA (Buyer) Wed, 16 Jan 2019 17:37:32 +1000

"Mike was referred to me by my realtor in Chicago who I hold of highest regard. When she explained that Mike was the equivalent of her for Palm Springs that pretty much was all I needed to know. He had big shoes to fill as a result and met every expectation. He knows the market, is networked to understand what it takes in PS to be successful and went above and beyond on every level of detail."
Michael - Chicago, IL (Buyer) Wed, 21 Nov 2018 12:05:19 +1000
"Paul was the ONLY Broker who responded to my Associate (Mathew Ladd) who was interviewing prospective Brokers...all others seemed disinterested.
Paul was very timely and attentive as we began negotiations, which helped expedite the final closing date and got me in the home 2+ weeks earlier than originally expected.
TOP NOTCH all the way!
I was completely satisfied with Paul's work to get me into my new home!"

"We are transplants from Silicon Valley, we asked our good friend Barb Nagy to recommend a realtor to help us find our forever home in the Palm Springs area. Before this we had scoured real estate everyday online for the better part of a year. We decided to buy a condo first, so we could come down and take our time looking for a home. Mike helped us with that purchase first, looking at many many condos Mike had prepared for us, we found a great condo and thanks to Mike, the condo transaction went very smooth!
Mike is very knowledgeable, definitly intuitive, and patient!! After moving into the condo, we must have looked at 100+ homes with Mike before we found the "one" in Palm Springs. Mike absolutely knows his shit, pardon the French. Mike was wonderful to work with, and we will certainly steer anyone we know looking for real estate to Mike Johnson and the Paul Kaplan Group! Thank you so much Mike!!!"
Amy Setterholm Cynthia Couch, Palm Springs (Buyer) Thu, 20 Sep 2018 01:22:18 +1000

Jim made each step in the purchase of our home easily navigable and smooth."

"Dear Dan,
We have a few opportunities in life where our own skills and knowledge can directly help others. If you add the factor of compassion, what you offer can truly be a gift. You gave all of the aforementioned in helping me make this home-buying decision, and I am forever grateful.
Thank you. Susie"

Paul Cox (Buyer) Sat, 11 Aug 2018 11:50:03 +1000
"We were very fortunate to have met William Sileo at the first open house we went to. After talking to him for a short time, we felt that we had met the absolute right agent to help us find the house we were looking for.
William 'checked every box' for us when it came to being what we wanted in a real estate agent. There wasn't any question or request that went unanswered. Because of William's advice and coaching, our offer was accepted in a short amount of time and we left town just hours after our offer was made, happy that we had found and secured the house of our dreams.
We couldn't be happier with our entire experience. Not only did we have a great agent, we feel we also made a friend.
William gave us a really good understanding of the diversity of real estate and uniqueness of Palm Springs and gave us great advice and counseling of how to approach the buying process. William also helped us get to know Palm Springs - where to dine, shop, enjoy great cocktails! He also shared history and knowledge of the area.
Paul Kaplan was very generous with his time and met with us and William to help us understand the Palm Springs market and the thoughts and tactics to consider when making an offer on a house.
We couldn't have been more pleased with the entire process; from searching for homes that met our criteria, to making an offer, to the closing. We had all the help we needed along the way - offered to us even before we asked - and before we knew we needed it!"
Janice Steele & Jason Westgard (Buyer) Tue, 31 Jul 2018 10:32:08 +1000

"Niko Esposito was so great and really helped us find the perfect house. She had a vision of what we wanted and found just the right home at the just the right price. She offered great advice on design updates and improvements to the home. Niko really takes the time to get to know her clients style. She was also incredibly helpful throughout the home buying process. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the desert areas!"
Kaylee Bergman, Joshua Tree (Buyer) Sat, 21 Jul 2018 07:15:32 +1000

I have recommended her to friends in the past and will continue in the future."
Steve Jensen, Palm Springs CA (Buyer) Sat, 21 Jul 2018 00:52:41 +1000
"Working with David Neglia exceeded all of my expectations. This is the fourth property I have purchased in my life, so I thought I knew what to expect from a realtor, but I was wrong. From the beginning David was very attentive and seemed genuinely interested in helping me find the right property. I can say without question that David was the best realtor I have ever worked with. If I need another realtor in the future it will definitely be him. I highly recommend David!"
David G. Palm Springs, CA (Buyer) Fri, 20 Jul 2018 08:36:54 +1000
"We have previous experience with home buying/selling, and Niko was exceptional with a tricky negotiation with our purchase. Her relationships and professional conduct within the area and profession pays off. She was extremely patient with our requests and provided excellent guidance throughout the process. We would HIGHLY recommend Niko for your real estate needs. I know we will definitely be calling her again."

"Paul Linger was working with us as a buyer's agent. His product knowledge is very sound. He also has a keen eye when touring homes and is very well versed on building elements. Perhaps most importantly, however, he listened expertly and provided us with viewing opportunities that perfectly matched our interests. Throughout the entire transaction process he was a solid source of wisdom and reassurance. We greatly enjoyed and appreciated working with him.
When asked to rate someone's performance it is easy to be nice and blindly click on "excellent" for each attribute shown but as I went down the list I truly believed that I could have used each one of these terms to describe Paul Linger: Polite. Understanding. Friendly. Patient. Knowledgeable. Helpful. Trustworthy. Professional. Excellent and timely communicator. Accessible. Respectful. Approachable.....all of the above. He truly is a gem."
Drew Stotesbury, Salt Spring Island BC and Palm Springs CA (Buyer) Fri, 06 Jul 2018 05:24:45 +1000
"Mike is a best in class agent. From beginning to end of the process he sought to understand our needs and wants, our specific interests and financial risk tolerance. He never pressured us and operated in the utmost professional manner. Mike’s knowledge of mid century architecture and neighborhoods was a huge asset. Without him we wouldn’t have found and closed on exactly the house we wanted."
Gary Osifchin and Wesley Wolfe. Manhattan NY (Buyer) Thu, 05 Jul 2018 23:06:20 +1000
"If we could choose a category higher than excellent in the ratings above we would. Jim followed through on everything with an an attention to detail that is hard to find. He was professional, extremely thorough and great to work with! He has continued to help us with the process of getting set up in the new house. We love working with him!"

Aaron and Kimberly, San Francisco CA (Seller) Fri, 08 Jun 2018 11:05:52 +1000
"Steve Jocz was super helpful and attentive from the minute I first contacted him. I am new to the Palm Springs area so had no knowledge of the PS real estate market. Steve listened very well to what I wanted and needed in a home, and took the time to make sure I knew what I was getting into. Very smooth and easy process!!!"
Liza Allen (Buyer) Thu, 07 Jun 2018 04:56:54 +1000
"Being first time home buyers we were totally green to the difficult and stressful process and William walked us through every step of the way with patience,understanding and much needed sense of humor.He always took the time to re assure us when it seemed to us that things were not going well and was always available to answer any questions.He is a sweet and kind man and the ultimate professional and I would recommend him to anyone embarking on this type of adventure! Our gratitude to him is endless and we feel thankful that we shared this journey with him!!
Thanks so much for all you did to assure we got our beautiful new home! We couldn't be happier with the work William did and we are grateful to everyone from the Paul Kaplan Group for all their fabulous work!"
Jose de la Cuesta, Robert Mitchell (Buyer) Sun, 03 Jun 2018 00:58:12 +1000
"My husband and I are from Canada and knew that we needed to work with someone who has excellent communication skills, since the deal would likely be long-distance. We came to the Palm Springs area one weekend and visited a variety of open houses with the intent of meeting a few agents face to face. After meeting 5-6 local agents from various brokers, Mike was the obvious choice as he was personable, kind and incredibly knowledgeable about the area and what to look for/avoid. He was welcoming from the moment we came through the door and listened to what we were looking for.
A month later, Mike contacted us about a dream condo coming on the market and he worked with us in a timely manner to ensure the deal went through. Throughout the process, he went above and beyond to make our move a success.
We are now settled and incredibly happy, thanks to Mike. We highly recommend him! Thank you, Mike."
Chantel, Canada (Buyer) Fri, 25 May 2018 01:54:21 +1000
"After our first communication via email with Paul Linger, we felt that he clearly understood our needs and wants. Then after our first day of touring homes in the Coachella valley, it was clear that he was the right agent for us.
Paul was really easy to work with and went out of his way to help us through the process, especially since we were purchasing a home in an area of which we had limited knowledge.
We were very satisfied with our entire experience with Paul as our agent, and have recommended him to friends."
Bob Stull and Stan Giorgi, SF Bay Area (Buyer) Thu, 17 May 2018 09:06:40 +1000
"As I have mentioned William has a very warm and understanding way about him that really puts one at ease during what can be a very trying and tumultuous time.
William was at all times very sweet and very patient in dealing not only with us, but the Sellers Agent, Loan Broker and all the differing entities that went into buying our home.
We honestly don't think we could have accomplished what we did without Williams help. Living out of the County also added an extra burden, that William kindly facilitated and worked out for us.
Thanks William for a job well done :)"
Rhondda Kerr-Pirbazar Palm Desert (Buyer) Wed, 16 May 2018 08:15:20 +1000
"Working with Steve was a total pleasure. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the Palm Springs/Coachella Valley market. He knows the neighborhoods, the architecture and the scene in general. Steve is an excellent communicator, is very organized and is helpful at every turn. We found a home, viewed it twice, negotiated a price, signed an agreement and had the house inspected -- all in less than a week. That doesn’t happen unless your agent is capable, hardworking and committed to your goals. We recommend Steve with no reservations."
Patrick Olson, Palm Springs (Buyer) Wed, 16 May 2018 06:49:03 +1000
"We felt Paul Kaplan Group appeals to people who are interested in mid-century design, and would attract those people to our property. Stephanie was given high praise by some friends of ours who had recently bought and sold property with her.
Stephanie was terrific, very proactive in keeping us informed every step of the way, always very responsive to any questions we had. We are extremely pleased with the results she got for us!
I wish we could give her a higher rating than excellent, she really exceeded expectations in all the categories above."

"Alice Reimann is truly excellent in every way. She is delightful in terms of her professionalism and ability to connect with people without being overwhelming. Alice has great style and opinions but her top two characteristics that we were impressed by were her honesty and trustworthiness. I am a firm believer that Alice helps every kind of person find their dream home. Her motivation is in getting people what they want and need and this was obvious to us every step of the way. With Alice, there was never a wasted moment. She is very hard-working, knowledgeable and easy to talk to about everything. Her accessibility and communication skill level couldn't be higher. With Alice, we always felt in control knowing that she was handling the details with care. "Alice" is a household name and family friend now. We are in love with our new home. If you're looking for a home make it easy on yourself, go with Alice Reimann of The Paul Kaplan Group, Inc."

"William was absolutely outstanding in every way. He was responsive, timely, committed and showed that he truly cared about making our experience positive. He was not pushy. He allowed us to decide for ourselves whether to move forward on an offer. He gave us time to consider our options but kept on top of everything at all times. I couldn't be more satisfied!
I am a huge fan of William's. I would recommend him to anyone. He was truly outstanding,"
Kathy Sainty, Vancouver (Buyer) Tue, 01 May 2018 05:37:13 +1000
"Will Paine is, to put it simply, extraordinary.

"I was referred to Alice by Tony Vacarro at Paul Kaplan after looking at a bunch of their homes for sale on Zillow. I started searching homes through Zillow several years ago. I would highly recommend Alice to any of my family, friends and associates looking for a home in the Palm Springs area. Not only is she knowledgeable, but kind, courteous and thoughtful. It truly was a pleasure working with her."

Alice provided us a varied selection of properties to view and consider. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about her community. She kept in excellent contact with us throughout the whole process and offered us sound advice and guidance. We enjoyed working with Alice Reimann and highly recommend her personal and professional service."

Veronica Lombardo (Buyer) Wed, 18 Apr 2018 11:25:25 +1000
"Selling a property from across the country can definitely provide many obstacles. Keith provided superior service and communication. Never did I feel concerned about the safety of my property. Through my first phone conversation, I had confidence in Keith. I didn't even meet him in person until a week or two later when I travelled to California.
He handled the sale and closing with ease. He was aware that I only had a few days to travel to Palm Springs, pack and move, and close. With help from Keith, everything went like clockwork.
I will use Keith in the future and highly recommend him."
Dr Peter Fuerst. Boca Raton Florida (Seller) Wed, 18 Apr 2018 10:44:30 +1000
"Chris Bale had maintained a strong relationship with us during the entire ownership period of our vacation home. His thoughtfulness and professionalism the first time around made us contact him again. He did everything in a thorough manner, hosted agents at the home, listened to our needs and executed on a sale within a couple of weeks after the soft opening. I would definitely recommend Chris to other prospective buyers and I would use his services once again, when need be.
Chris Bale did an excellent job with all of the arrangements. For any seller who is a non-resident, I recommend Chris to take care of all the details. In addition, Chris will manage his projects without owner presence, which is wonderful for out of town owners."
Alejandra Thorpe, Beverly Hills (Seller) Fri, 06 Apr 2018 06:44:11 +1000

"We found out perfect second home in La Quinta after only looking two Saturdays. Almost disappointed that we were not going to spend any more days with Niko! She was a joy to be with. What can be tedious long days she made it fun, down to the drinks and snacks in her car. The whole transaction went along smoothly and any questions we had she was immediately able to answer. She was a pleasure to do business with. We were lucky to have found Niko."

"Jim Calwell was immediately aware of our needs and desires and did not waste a minute of our time. When we began working with Jim we had already met and worked with several other agents. Once we spent some time with Jim we realized we couldn't do better and dropped the others. We heartily recommend Jm to anyone looking for property in the area."

"We were paired with Stephanie Howard by chance when we were searching for out first Palm Springs home 2 years ago. We loved our experience with her so much when buying that property, we chose her again to buy our second desert home this year.
Stephanie is simply the best at what she does. She is tireless in her pursuit to find us the right home. She is particularly patient with extremely picky people (us!)
Stephanie is always on the ball. She keeps track of every detail and always has the answer I need whenever a question arises.
Every experience I've had with Stephanie Howard has been great!
I've bought and sold homes in other cities and I know how difficult it can be to deal with other buyers and sellers, not to mention navigating the legal complexities required for closing. Not every realtor and agent knows how to do it all, and few of them do it well.
Stephanie knows how to do it all, and she not only does it well, she excels at it.
She makes buying property easy and enjoyable!"

"Will was awesome to work with. Once he figured out what we were looking for he tailored the homes to look at accordingly. Because we had to come from out of town it was very important we saw as many properties as possible during each visit. Will was great at organizing and driving us to all the different homes. When looking at homes Will was very knowledgable about the different neighborhoods, the good and the bad. He was also great at helping us look at each home, the things that were interesting and unique as well as the bad. I would absolutely recommend Will and the Paul Kaplan group to my friends and family"

"She's AMAZING. Any time I know of someone interested in buying or selling Palm Springs--I direct them to Niko. Couldn't have asked for a better agent or a better experience. She's wonderful.
Niko was excellent! Communicative, always in touch and keeping us up to date. Great, sunny, positive attitude. Fair and reputable. Great personality, great knowledge of the area, knew how to position and sell our home for a great price."

"Kris went above and beyond the call of duty. I was selling the home from several states away. There were issues that needed to be addressed (minor cleaning and landscaping, errant roofing tiles, wind damage, minor electrical needs) and Kris worked with me to find service people to address the needs so that we could get the house sold. She was always pleasant and often calming, when need be. She understood the particularities of my situation and did everything she could to help make the process manageable and to put me at ease. I wish I would be so lucky to find a broker of Kris's caliber every time I bought or sold a home. Kris, I can't thank you enough!"

"We have bought and sold many homes over the past years. And we have experienced many agents. Mike Johnson, is far and away the best Realtor we have ever had the pleasure to work with. Mike is beyond knowledgeable about the market. And an expert at navigating the entire process. He was simply a joy to work with. We will use him again, and again."

We wouldn't hesitate to work with Niko again in the future and would refer her to anyone needing a great agent in the SoCal area.
Thank you Niko!!"

"Clay Baham, was critical to our home selling in Palm Springs and we're so happy we chose Clay over other brokers we interviewed. I'm also a licensed active agent in Los Angeles and had been taking note of strong candidates, knowing we would be selling. After interviewing several other brokers, we knew Clay was the perfect fit for us because of his very specific knowledge of architects and their highly coveted homes. Clay showed up ready, knowledgeable and on-time!
Clay was clear, concise and highly motivated to sell our home. We felt he believed in our home and its' value. After working through a few scenarios leading to offers; I could tell Clay was not only knowledgeable, he was a very highly skilled agent proving time and again, his reach and professionalism was widely and well recieved by Buyers and their agents including lenders which, I had the opportunity to overhear Clay qualify a Buyer of ours and their financials.
This was more than comforting because I felt Clay was a natural extension of myself by rep representing me the way I would have which, is often times hard to find in another agent with a different firm.
Clay negotiated our sale with a finesse, charm and a hawk like manner. Never once did I have to call him to address a concern or potential problem. Clay the consumate professional was always ahead of the deal and always very straightforward and timely, offering solutions and probabilities rather than problems and no resolutions.
I would highly reccomend Clay for numerous reasons. Mainly for his vast knowledge, experience and ability to manage very high expectations with tight time frames. And, doing so with a smile and positive mannerism.
I appreciate Clay and his dedication, not only to our sale but to the craft of selling luxury homes and really giving it his all. Even after closing, Clay has stayed in contact with us, which is nice to know he still appreciates us and our business. Usually, agents forget your name once you close.

"Being out of country and purchasing a home in the Desert could have been tricky but Diann made everything run smoothly and and stress free. Her patience with us was unending and her professionalism abounds. Her understanding of our needs was unbelievable! She had great knowledge of all the neighbourhoods we had selected to look at homes in and gave us backgrounds on all areas. We ended up purchasing a home, ironically in Diann’s own neighbourhood, and look forward to a long lasting relationship with our new neighbor!"

He’s a total pro.
There was competition for this property but the transaction couldn’t have gone smoother."

"Clay Baham excelled in keeping me informed and in managing all aspects of the sale. Being from out of state I never personally met him but everything was handled beautifully.
Advice to stage the home,and suggested person to do the staging, turned out perfectly.
Clay delivered with an excellent full price offer within one week of listing the property.
I couldn’t be happier with the service and results I received in listing with Clay.
He handled everything including negotiating and managing all work and marketing aspects of the sale.
Clay is a very professional and effective real estate agent. Nice guy too!"

"We interviewed three brokers, including Paul Linger. He was by far and away our first choice from the very beginning. We were selling a home that had been in the family for over 50 years and it was a very emotional time for us. Paul helped ease the burden by understanding the situation and making the process as seamless as possible. He has a fabulous personality and is very warm and kind. He provided great advice as to what we should consider pricing the house and and the reasoning behind it. He recognized the architect who designed the house and the value that mid-century modern added to it. He was always available to answer any questions or help with any concerns we had. He even offered to help us clear out the house (which was a huge undertaking) and n took items to the animal shelter for us! We consider ourselves very lucky to have found him."

Mike Johnson makes buying and selling real estate an enjoyable experience. His knowledge of the area as well as his local business connections helped us sell our home in a matter of days.
Mike's personality and knowledge makes the process of selling real estate as painless as possible. He is the ultimate professional!
I often recommend The Paul Kaplan Group to people I know looking for property in the valley because of their professionalism and everyone I have had an interaction with have been extremely friendly and helpful."

"Diann was a pleasure to deal with. Very professional and always upbeat. As we are not resident in Palm Springs we had to rely heavily on Diann for local knowledge and "on the ground" assistance in dealing with minor issues that came up during the transaction. She was extremely helpful and never lost her sense of humour. Over all Diann made what could have been a stressfull experience quite stress-free."

"1st and foremost - Paul Linger "listened" to me and always ensured his understanding of my position on negotiating our offer price. His follow up and "management" of the entire process was amazing - thinking his background as a project manager adds to his efficiency and results. I travel for a living with a very busy work schedule, and Paul calendared my planned travels and ensured deliverables were complete while accommodating my schedule. I can't say enough good things about Paul Linger - this was probably the MOST efficient home purchase I have ever made (and I have made more than a handful). THANK YOU PAUL (and Paul Kaplan Group)!"
