New HGTV Show Follows Couple Flipping Coachella Valley Properties

PALM SPRINGS, CA - A show about one couple's endeavor to renovate homes throughout Palm Springs is set to premiere on the HGTV cable network one week from Thursday.

"Desert Flippers" follows Wisconsin natives and real estate agents Eric and Lindsey Bennett as they set out to raise a family while revamping 20 Palm Springs properties in a year's time, transforming the homes from near- condemnation, in some cases, to desirable desert properties.

Premiering Aug. 25 at 11 p.m. PST, the first episode of the series features the Bennetts taking on a house that has become home to a family of scorpions.

"Palm Springs is booming right now," Lindsay Bennett said. "There are new hotels, hot restaurants and young people with new families moving in all the time. The potential is incredible."
