Tells you everything is brand new but obviously items are second hand. Inflated prices for used goods. Does not stand behind defective product that he sells. Once the sale is made he does not return phone messages or emails and pretends your emails have gone into junk mail. Very unethical realtor as well and does not follow through with issues on the property. Stay away from this business. **★★★★★ — mdtpturner, Nov. 2014** > Neil and Thomas took a difficult listing to sell and now made it one the most popular listings in South Palm Desert. Thanks Neil and Thomas. > Mark Turner Remax **★★★★★ — Jasmene Jarrett, Aug. 2014** > HHPP was exception in renovating, designing and furnishing our 1958 Alexander Construction Co., Mid Century Modern home in Palm Springs, CA. Neil has excellent design skills along with a very professional and thorough build staff! I appreciated his timeliness when responding to questions or keeping the project on schedule. I highly recommend HHPS and will be using them again should I purchase another property that needs renovation. **★★★★★ — Marmish, Inc, May 2014** > I buy and sell properties and used HHPS to stage several properties. Their service was great and their taste is impeccable. The homes were perfectly presented thanks to their understanding of the prospective buyer in every case. Would definitely recommend them to others. **★★★★★ — jeffgehl, May 2014** > Led the interior design and furnishing of my home. Wonderful job. I provided very little guidance and rather just provided overall theme and direction and they NAILED it! **★★★★★ — osmonhomes, April 2014** > Very professional and fashionable staging. Loved the style and use of colors. Very respectful and on time. Will strongly recommend them and use them again. Great team! **★★★★★ — rosasericea, July 2013** > I recently put my home in La Quinta on the Market and my realtor suggested to have the house professionally staged. After a long research, I have chosen House & Homes Palm Springs (which seams to be the best in the Coachella Valley). > I scheduled an appointment for the Stagers to give me an estimate - the House & Homes Team promptly responded and provided me with a free estimate. > I was very happy with their professionalism and had my home staged with House & Homes Palm Springs. They did a fantastic job staging my home. > > I listed my house and I received the first offer on the first open house. > > I can only recommend House & Homes Palm Springs to any homeowner who wants to sell their house quickly. ## Selected projects - [Kula Villas 1B](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kula-villas-1b-pj-vj~6485601) - Location: Kihei, HI - Photos: 17 - [Via Pisa](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/via-pisa-pj-vj~6686190) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - Description: Custom ground-up built home in in the exclusive Toscana Country Club Indian Wells, CA. - [Bogert Trail](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bogert-trail-pj-vj~5694433) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Vereda Norte](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vereda-norte-pj-vj~5619140) - Location: Palm Springs, CA - Photos: 7 - [Sandsal Circle](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sandsal-circle-pj-vj~1035574) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Kaptur Court, Palm Springs](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kaptur-court-palm-springs-pj-vj~1758477) - Location: Palm Springs, CA - Photos: 9 - Description: Newly built, architecturally significant Palm Springs homes designed by Hugh Kaptur, A.I.A.
