About Paul Linger

Paul Linger, Principal of The Caldwell and Linger Group at Compass, is a highly respected real estate expert dedicated to delivering first-class service and exceptional results. With a deep passion for the desert lifestyle, Paul offers expert guidance, market insight, and a strategic approach to buying and selling luxury homes throughout the Coachella Valley. Specializing in architecturally significant properties, golf and country club communities, condominiums, and investment properties, he helps clients find not just a home, but a lifestyle perfectly suited to their needs. His intimate knowledge of Palm Springs' culture, architecture, and vibrant communities makes him an invaluable resource for both buyers and sellers.

Paul’s love for real estate began early, inspired by weekend drives with his parents to explore homes and neighborhoods. That passion led him to a career in real estate after years of managing complex projects in healthcare as a Strategic Project Manager for Group Health Cooperative (now Kaiser Permanente) in Seattle. While excelling in that role, he also owned, improved, and sold multiple properties, eventually designing and building custom homes with his husband. This hands-on experience gave him a deep understanding of home construction, architecture, and design, which he now applies to help clients visualize a property's full potential.

Since transitioning to real estate full-time, Paul has closed over $125 million in residential sales throughout Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley. He is known for his proactive, solution-driven approach, strong negotiation skills, and unwavering commitment to his clients. Whether helping buyers find their ideal home or guiding sellers to maximize their return, Paul’s expertise, integrity, and attention to detail ensure a seamless experience. His rapidly expanding clientele not only values his insight and professionalism but also enthusiastically refers him to others seeking a trusted real estate partner.

Beyond real estate, Paul is deeply engaged in the Palm Springs community and loves introducing clients to the best local shopping, dining, entertainment, and cultural events. With a strong national network for relocation services, he assists clients in making smooth transitions wherever life takes them. Passionate, knowledgeable, and results-driven, Paul is dedicated to helping his clients turn their real estate dreams into reality.
