ABOUT KEVIN STERN
Kevin Stern has been helping clients buy and sell homes in the Palm Springs area for over 20 years, and is an expert in Coachella Valley real estate. He is the owner of Town Real Estate, a well-respected local brokerage, and he says their mission is simple: “Happy clients, lasting relationships and service that is above and beyond.”
As former president of the Greater Palm Springs REALTORS® Board of Directors, Kevin has strong alliances throughout the desert, which help make transactions more successful for his clients. Kevin says, “My philosophy is putting clients first, listening closely and thinking creatively to get them the best deal.”
Originally from San Jose, Kevin built a successful travel agency in the 1990s, then after a life-changing loss in 2000, he landed in Palm Springs, a place he long loved. He spent six months living in an RV exploring the desert, and fell in love with the region and lifestyle.
He soon earned his real estate license, became a licensed broker and founded Town Real Estate, with a deep passion for helping people find their place in this special area. Now, with over 22 years of experience in Greater Palm Springs, Kevin offers expert local knowledge, desert insights, and a full-service approach for every client, with the personal attention they deserve.
“My promise is respect, transparency, creativity, and commitment,” Kevin says. “I don’t just want to close a deal; I want to earn your trust, your referrals, and maybe even a lifelong friendship.”
Testimonials
A Level of Personal Service You Won’t Find in a Giant Real Estate Firm…
Kevin is an exceptional realtor and a great guy…very kind and helpful…and extremely knowledgeable about the greater palm springs area. I can’t recommend him highly enough. He brings a level of personal service you won’t find in a giant real estate firm. It was like having a friend who could assist you through the maze of a real estate transaction. He guided us with patience, and brought a deep understanding of the desert communities and a ton of knowledge about all the things that make the area unique: fee vs leased land, HOA fees, pool and utility costs, helpful info on local lenders, and a bunch of little tips that made the overall experience much more informed. There was no hard sell or rush to make a decision — instead, he worked to focus in on what we really wanted — then he honed in on properties that fit the bill. He made those hours of house-hunting a joy and wonderful learning experience.

I could not have picked a better person for the job
I recently sold my home in the desert and Kevin Stern was the realtor I selected to handle the sale. I could not have picked a better person for the job. Over the years I have purchased and sold 10 properties and of all the agents I have chosen, Kevin was by far the best. His knowledge, his attention to detail and his professionalism are unsurpassed. Never have I dealt with anyone who is so prompt to respond to my questions, plus his attention to detail is outstanding. My favorite part of Kevin was his honesty. For me that was very important. Finally, when selling or buying real estate it can be very emotional and though the process Kevin was there assuring me not to worry. There aren’t words to express how grateful I am to Kevin for all he did to get my home sold. He’s the best, look no further.
