The Harper Group
John Harper
I have been a Realtor® since 2006, and a Palm Springs resident since 2012.
Prior to becoming a Realtor®, I had years of experience in marketing, research and sales within the entertainment industry at Showtime Networks in NY, and then at NBCUniversal Television in LA, I was solely responsible for the contract administration of domestic pay TV deals valued at over $1 billion. When the job became solely data focused, I got my real estate license and joined Keller Williams Realty. Initially, I was in the Beverly Hills office, and while there, I was honored to be appointed a member of the Agent Leadership Council (ALC). The ALC is comprised of the top 20% of the agent body in the Market Center, and its’ purpose is to allow agents direct input into the operation of the Keller Williams Market Center, holding management accountable and being the guardians of the Market Center culture.
Following my move to the desert, I renovated a mid century condo purchased at the bottom of the market. I was fortunate to be able to have quality time with my father in his later years, and that time gave me an insight into the specific needs and concerns of seniors.
I am pleased to say my entire Real Estate career has been with KW, and am pleased to say we are the world’s largest real estate technology franchise by agent count and the U.S. leader in units and sales volume. The principles the company was founded on, including the importance of having the integrity to do the right thing and always putting clients’ needs first, truly fit with who I am.
I believe strongly in having the integrity to do the right thing and make it a Win-Win for everyone. Buying or selling a home can be one of the most emotionally stressful events in one’s life, and my goal is to help make this process as smooth as possible.

Realtor Partner
Before joining The Harper Group, I enjoyed a fruitful career in the luxury retail industry for over 20 years, and over 6 years in custom luxury textiles. Through these experiences, I gained valuable knowledge and experience in sales and customer service, and I acquired a strong work ethic that is now the foundation of my career as a Real Estate Professional.
I was born and raised in Boston, and I graduated from Northeastern University with a degree in Criminal Justice. After too many frigid winters in the Northeast, I decided to relocate to the warm and sunny West Coast and to the quaint village of West Hollywood, where I continued my career in luxury textiles and design. I soon found myself drawn to the oasis of Palm Springs. I now reside in the Desert, I earned my real estate license, joined Keller Williams, and now enjoy helping my clients from all walks of life find their perfect oasis.
Outside of my career, I enjoy bowling, fitness and spending time with my partner. In a field that is becoming more and more transactional, I take pride in offering unparalleled customer service, and that gives my business a uniquely satisfying human touch.
