Building A Legacy: The construction of the Rancho Mirage flagship office in 2008 (left) and the Rancho Mirage office today.
From Our Founders Two Decades of Delivering Desert Dreams We are thrilled to celebrate 20 years since we opened our doors along North Palm Canyon Drive in Palm Springs. This significant milestone has come with a variety of market conditions, changes to the complexion of the Coachella Valley, and so much more. Through the constant evolution of the communities we serve and the industry, one thing has been constant: Our commitment to delivering a polished, professional, and successful experience for our clients. As a local company founded by agents for agents, we have grown hand-in-hand with the desert’s resurgence as the premier Southern California resort destination. Starting with a single office and blossoming to become the #1 real estate brokerage with locations across the region, the desert is imprinted in our DNA, from the agents and staff who serve you each day to our office environments and our brand’s identity. We are proud to be part of the Coachella Valley and are honored to call the desert our home.
2001 to 2021: Co-Owners Bob Bennion and Bob Deville with David Cantwell (middle), the first managing broker, in 2001; Bob Bennion and Bob Deville today.
This special issue of AT HOME Collection celebrates our 20 years of delivering desert dreams with a special look at the history, and outlook, of Bennion Deville Homes. In addition to pages of beautiful homes, we are also introducing features on the agents who are here to serve your real estate needs. Thank you for your support over the past 20 years. We look forward to helping you now and in the future. Our desert communities are in the midst of a transition, with inventory levels creeping back up. After nearly 18 months of staggering growth and activity, local market conditions are closer to the seasonal patterns we are used to seeing each fall. There is a palpable buzz in the air, with many of our seasonal residents returning to enjoy the desert for the first time in a while. Because of your loyalty, established over the past 20 years, we are the #1 real estate company in the desert and a nationally recognized independent brand. When it comes time to consider the purchase or sale of a property, we hope that you consider discussing your options with a Bennion Deville Homes real estate professional. We are sincerely grateful for your trust and confidence in us. We appreciate the opportunity to unlock possibilities for you. Our very best,

ennion Deville Homes opened its first office in the Greater Palm Springs Area in late 2001. Located along storied North Palm Canyon Drive in the heart of the Palm Springs Uptown District, the company’s footprint and reach grew beyond the historic Arthur Elrod-designed building, flourishing throughout the desert resort cities and across Southern California. That first location was the genesis of a new era in desert real estate, and from the concepts and practices built within it sprang a future real estate powerhouse. From humble roots the company has blossomed to the top of the Coachella Valley real estate industry and forged an incredible reputation as one of the leading independent real estate brokerages in

the nation. Looking back on 20 years of serving the Coachella Valley, Bennion Deville Homes is primed to continue its standing as the desert’s foremost real estate brokerage because of its deep connection to our desert communities, unique business philosophy, and ability to unlock possibilities for clients every day. Hailing from Seattle, where they built a top-producing practice, the dynamic duo of Bob Bennion and Bob Deville sought to chart a new path for their business in the desert. The symbiotic relationship between the Coachella Valley and the Pacific Northwest, along with other regions with cooler fall and winter climates, made the desert a natural place to explore opportunities for opening their business. Bennion and Deville were invested in the community as residents and wanted to bring their unique vision for the real estate industry to an area that was ripe with potential. This critical decision would pave the way for incredible growth and set off a chain of events that have altered the shape of the local industry landscape, where an independent company is the dominant brand in a market saturated with national franchises.

Darrel & Cici Hume Who says customer service is a thing of the past? Thirty-one years of experience as a retail executive at Nordstrom taught me the importance of “taking care of the customer.” My wife, Cici, and I now bring this customer-oriented approach to the way we serve our clients. We’re equipped with the professional expertise, market knowledge, financial skills, and negotiating savvy to achieve the best results for our clients and customers. We’ve lived in five different states over the course of our Nordstrom career (Washington, Oregon, Utah, Texas, and Illinois). Having relocated to the Coachella Valley makes California our sixth state of residence. Our numerous moves allowed us the opportunity to buy and sell ten personal homes. Consequently we’ve gained an appreciation for the various challenges involved in buying and selling real estate. We’ve been in your shoes. Cici and I moved to the Palms Springs area to enjoy the warm sunshine and active lifestyle. We’re avid golfers who live in a gated golf and tennis community. We combed the entire Coachella Valley extensively before making our final decision on purchasing a home that was just right for us. As a result we became very familiar with the numerous developments and communities throughout the area. Now we spend much of our time helping others find their dream homes. Therefore, we have an excellent understanding of the market and enjoy sharing what we’ve learned with others. We understand the market. It would be our privilege to be given the opportunity to discuss your ideas about making the right property investment that fits your individual needs, or assist you in marketing your existing property.
