J Levi Knapp

Local Expertise. Global Connections.

With a career defined by strategy, service, and storytelling, Levi Knapp brings a rare blend of experience to his work with Desert Sotheby’s International Realty. Drawing from a background that spans executive recruiting, political campaign leadership, and real estate, Levi approaches every client relationship with the precision of a strategist and the empathy of a trusted advisor. Based in Palm Springs and PGA West, La Quinta, Levi is known for his thoughtful guidance and concierge-level service. He understands that real estate is never just about a property — it’s about people, timing, and the next chapter of someone’s life. Before entering real estate, Levi managed national advocacy campaigns and later advised boards and investors in the life sciences sector, building leadership teams for clinical-stage and pre-IPO biotech companies. That experience honed his ability to lead with calm under pressure, navigate complexity, and communicate clearly — skills that now define his approach to real estate. Across the Coachella Valley Levi combines deep market knowledge with a genuine commitment to delivering elevated results. His approach is equal parts analytical and human, making even the most complex transactions feel seamless and well-managed from start to finish. Levi lives in Palm Springs with his husband, son, Parakeet, Sunny and German Shorthaired Pointer, Huck.
