Cooper is the best real estate agent out there! When we first met Cooper randomly at an open house, we asked him various questions, to which he answered genuinely and thoroughly. We also felt that our personalities clicked and decided to pick Cooper as our real estate agent...and we are so glad that we did! Throughout the entire process, Cooper has been proactive, easy to reach, informative, and knowledgeable. He also helped us stay positive and always provided us with good counsel. In addition, Cooper's interior design background was extremely beneficial. He was able to identify different architectural materials, read blueprints, and help us envision ways that we could renovate different properties. On top of it all, Cooper was able to help us close escrow in less than 30 days, purchase a wonderful home within our budget, and negotiate our new home's final price to nearly $20,000 less than the seller's asking price! Thank you Cooper for all your time and hard work :)

About Cooper

Some people find their calling early. Cooper B. Johnson found his in a Lego set.
As a kid, Cooper wasn’t just building towers — he was designing homes, down to the kitchen cabinets and appliances. That obsession never left him. It led him to the University of Vermont, where he designed his own degree in Historic Preservation, then on to post-graduate coursework in Interior Design and Architectural Drafting at Berkeley. Architecture and design weren’t hobbies. They were a calling.
But life has a way of taking detours. Cooper spent 27 years building a successful corporate career in Consumer Products and Beauty — developing the sales acumen, marketing instincts, and client relationship skills that would later make him an exceptional real estate and design professional. Even then, he couldn’t stay away from buildings. He bought a salon primarily so he could design the space. Then expanded next door so he could design a bigger one.
When Cooper finally made the leap into real estate and renovation management full-time, everything clicked. Today, as a licensed Realtor with Coldwell Banker and founder of brice Design & Renovation Management, he serves affluent clients across the Coachella Valley — Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, and La Quinta — helping them identify the right luxury property, design their dream space, and manage the renovation from start to finish.
His approach is simple: Acquire. Design. Renovate.
It’s not just a tagline. It’s a complete service that almost no one else in the valley offers. Cooper brings a licensed agent’s market knowledge, a designer’s eye, and a project manager’s discipline to every engagement. The result? Clients don’t just get a beautiful home — they get a property that builds real equity.
Take the Moore Project in San Rafael — a 2,200 sq ft full gut renovation where the client wanted a luxury coastal aesthetic with personality and a touch of glamour. Cooper touched everything: doors, fixtures, hardware, flooring, completely new bathrooms. The finished home didn’t just delight the client — when it came time to sell, it became the highest comp in the complex, closing over asking by more than $100,000.
That’s what happens when design meets real estate expertise.
Cooper holds a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS) designation through the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing — an elite credential held by only a small percentage of agents nationally. He brings that same luxury-level thinking to every project, whether the budget is modest or expansive.

If you’ve ever dreamed of finding the right home and making it truly yours — Cooper is the person who can take you all the way there. CalRE #0207780
