⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pete and... the crew over at First Call are absolute gems when it comes to security solutions. Seriously, if you need top-notch protection for your home, business, or like us, your HOA, they're the ones you want to call.Our journey with them started when our HOA needed security cameras installed at our main gate. Pete swung by right away, checked out the area, and had a plan ready for us in no time. The team worked like lightning to set everything up, and let me tell you, it's like having Fort Knox guarding our entrance now. We've got all the angles covered with cameras, license plate readers—you name it.This technology isn't just great looking, it's effective. Thanks to Pete and team's incredible work, we were able recently to identify intruders in our pool that caused damage. The coverage of the cameras, the seamlessness of the technology, and the precision of the license plate readers have put us in a position to recover over $2000 in damages. Our police report was extremely thorough, something we could never have done without the work of Pete and his team at First Call.And it doesn't stop there. We've decided to expand our partnership with Pete and his crew to overhaul our access control system for pedestrian and pool gates. They've been absolute champs, tackling every challenge that popped up along the way. Our community can't wait for our shiny new system to go live this week.Seriously, save yourself the headache and just give First Call a ring. Trust me, you won't regret it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐read more

As a Master Trainer, I have almost a decade of experience as a personal trainer. I earned my first certification while deployed to Afghanistan during my five year service in the US Army where I served as a Military Police Sergeant. Going into the military, I was overweight and out of shape. During my first year of service, I had a leader who showed me how to use the gym to not only to get in better shape, but to allow it to be a sort of mental and emotional therapy. The feeling of going into the gym and working until all your stress is gone is the best gift to give to yourself. Fitness isn't only for your body; it's for your mind, body and spirit. It's that feeling I love introducing to people and why I am so passionate about spreading my knowledge to others.

Luxury Pools Design & Construction

My name is Chris Burke, and I am the General Manager of Luxury Pools. My wife Charlene and I have been married for nearly 10 years and have two beautiful children; our daughter Carly is 8 years old and our son Cole is almost 2. Carly is a girly girl who loves her make up, skin care and barbies but her favorite thing in the world is jiu jitsu. Cole is your typical toddler running around making everyone laugh while watching in fear as he jumps of couches and slides headfirst down the hallways of our home.

 

As a native to the Coachella Valley, I take great pride in being a part of our community. As a boy, I was immersed into the historical Palm Springs culture by my grandfather who began as a developer in the 1960’s. Growing up in the desert surrounded by some of the Coachella Valley’s most influential pioneers, I continue these relationships, two generations later, with today’s Coachella Valley Leaders. I have a great passion in continuing to build new relationships and networking them into existing connections in effort to play my part in the continued and progressive growth of this area we call home.

 

Luxury Pools started in 2018 and has become a Coachella Valley leader as a custom outdoor living builder. With a focus on custom design and construction, Luxury Pools has collaborated with world class designers and architects to create outdoor living space for some of the most influential people who call the Coachella Valley home. At Luxury Pools, we take great pride in our community and make it a priority to give back every chance we have. With our community’s future in mind, we take special interest in local youth sports providing sponsorships and equipment to local high schools. As members of the community and as people who grew up here, we find it important to take care of those that take care of us. At Luxury Pools we also provide special pricing for all local teachers, military and first responders as a thank you for being the unsung heroes of our community day in and day out.

 

As General Manager of Luxury Pools, I bring the pride of calling the Coachella Valley home to every aspect of our business. But it is not just me, this is a home-grown team, a home-grown business, and a home-grown success story. At Luxury Pools, we take great pride in our community, and we look forward to continuing to grow with our Coachella Valley.

Shout out to Dr. Mike and Dr. Krista and NP... Nellie!!!!I normally can't stand Dr offices and don't go unless I am dying. But I have changed how I feel with the type of care given at Coachella Valley Direct Primary Care. Not only is this the most simple way to have Doctor care but these two Doctors and their Nurse Practitioner actually care about the patient. The office is clean, quiet and professional. Its definitely not your normal office setting. They make you feel at home. You walk in and take a seat on the couch and they talk to you like you are normal human. I have needed their services for a few things and each experience has been great. It's like back in the day when a Doctor would come to your home and take care of you and your family. I tell everyone about this place and look forward that when I'm in need to utilize their services.read more

I don’t know how to put into words what the... people at this doctors office mean to me. They have been incredible since the first day I walked in searching for a primary doctor that would be a good fit. I recently went through a very scary illness and they have been by my side, day and night, with knowledge, compassion, and genuine care that I have never experienced before in my life. I honestly don’t know where I would be without them. Not only are they simply amazing doctors, but the level of pure commitment in really figuring out and diagnosing any issue instead of just throwing medication at you and sending you on your way is just incredible. They follow up and check in on their patients, they greet you with such warmth, and have such a pure enthusiasm for their patients and their profession. I hands down would (and do) highly recommend them to anyone searching for the epitome of what a doctor should be.read more

As a business owner myself, I love to support... local businesses. I heard of CTAX through an old colleague of mine who was bragging about their services, so I checked out their website to see what all the hype was about. I requested a consultation for more information and was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I was contacted after submitting my information on their website. It immediately made me feel like I was a priority to them. After a brief phone call, I had all the information I needed to feel confident enough to press forward and give them a shot. My taxes aren’t exactly simple to file, to say the least, but I was reassured that I was in the hands of professionals. I filed my personal and business taxes with Mr. Chryss and do not regret it one bit! I have a huge weight lifted off my shoulders, I’m stress free for the first tax season in years, and I am beyond pleased with my returns and the impeccable customer service I received! Now I can really see what all the hype is about and want to brag to someone about this business too! Thank you CTAX, I will most definitely be returning for future services!read more

DESERT ELITE BOARD MEMBER

A lifelong resident of the Coachella Valley, Marlene R. Ruttenberg is the owner of Desert Properties Realtors. Our firm serves clients throughout Coachella Valley, Palm Springs and the surrounding region.

Marlene has over 19 years of very diverse experience within the real estate industry in the Coachella Valley/Greater Palm Springs area. In 1999, Marlene first entered the industry as a receptionist of an extremely busy and top producing real estate firm in the desert with three locations. She ultimately became an office manager with a highly respected group of real estate professionals at a luxury real estate firm.

In 2001, Marlene shifted gears, venturing into the exciting yet demanding land of escrow where she spent the next 15 years, enduring through the high and low of the market. During this time, Marlene also worked as a loan processor and as a transaction coordinator.

Marlene is extremely well-rounded and has leveraged this broad range of experience as she became a REALTOR® and ultimately found herself leading her own brokerage firm, Desert Properties Realtors.

Marlene and her elite team have a wealth of knowledge of this beautiful desert region, as evidenced by many 5-star Zillow reviews. Desert Properties Realtors deals in residential real estate and all price ranges, giving clients the flexibility they need to find the ideal desert home.

Honest, experienced, kind, firm, dedicated,... persistent, Marlene Ruttenberg definitely checks all the boxes and she definitely used her skill set and extremely equipped tool box to get my house sold. The sale of my house had a little bit of everything (don't they all) including a couple moments where I thought the deal was going to fall out of escrow and the sale wasn't going to happen. Marlene dealt with every moment with grace and professionalism. I never felt like she was unequipped or unfamiliar with the path we were on. Having someone who brings so much ability to the sale is very calming and as we all know buying and selling a home can be very stressful so this calm approach is priceless. She knew when to be patient and she also knew when to apply a little pressure. I would give myself 4 stars for my behavior during the transaction and Marlene knew just how to handle my emotions too. Definitely a 5 star treatment from Marlene and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for that next great professional relationship in their life.read more

I had met Marlene a few years back and had... mentioned thinking about upgrading our home, but at that time, it just wasn’t right. Her patience and understanding of our situation only grew our bond closer. Her support and dedication to customer service is infinite - We purchased our upgraded home with her almost 3 years later! Marlene is awesome! The home buying experience can be frightening, but not with Marlene. She is so knowledgeable and walks you through the process every step of the way. Marlene goes above and beyond for her Clients. Regardless of the time of day, she would always respond to my texts/calls. She was excellent, knowledgeable and professional. My purchase was easy and stress free thanks to her! Despite very humble in her ways, my now considered good family friend, Marlene, demonstrates the true definition and value of eminence.read more

Marlene has provided excellent service from the... beginning of the process and continues to, well after closing. She is knowledgeable, approachable, extremely kind, endlessly patient, and incredibly generous with her time. Our experience began in 2018 with the purchase of our first home weeks before giving birth to our 3rd baby. She made the process so much fun and we loved how involved she was every step of the way. Fast forward two years later we decided we needed a bigger home for our family. Marlene put our home up on the market and she sold our house in THREE DAYS...yes three! Not only did she sell our house that fast, it was also sold more than asking price!!!! ? Once we accepted the offer on our first home to sell, she immediately helped us find our forever home?. No matter the time or day she was just a text or phone call away. She always stayed on top of deadlines to make sure both escrows closed simultaneously. Although buying a home can be overwhelming and stressful, it was nice to have a professional like her on our side to get the job done. Marlene is an excellent real estate agent in short words and we would highly recommend her to anyone that needs an awesome agent!read more

Marlene Ruttenberg is AMAZING!!! Marlene is a go... getter. She is driven and motivated. But with all of that she is knowledgeable, kind, caring , helpful and so sweet. From the time we walked through my home together for the first time until the final walk through she was there. She made it seem as if we were her only client and project she had. I know she is extremely busy too! We had difficulties through our transaction and she was there to smooth things over the whole time. She did her best to keep us in the know when needed and handle things they may have caused us stress as much as she could. We closed escrow in 2 weeks time so it was a lot of things in a very short time. Her staff was helpful and kind and kept things moving also.Marlene truly cares about people and clearly loves what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home and would most definitely use her in the future for other transactions. Thank you Marlene to you and your staff for making this the best experience for my situation. Keep doing what you do girl!read more

Department:

Palm Desert Law Group, APC

Pantea formed Palm Desert Law Group, APC specifically to focus on the needs of families with young children as well as small business owners. Prior to starting this firm, she saw too many instances where the all too common “one-size fits all” estate planning failed, leaving families in court and conflict for years. She also saw that there was a huge disconnect between attorneys practicing estate planning and those practicing business law, such that the complex needs of small business owners were never fully met. And she wanted to change that.

Pantea aims to bring back the “old-school” practice of lawyering where she can be a trusted source to guide her clients through the decisions they need to make to protect their families and businesses.

Pantea graduated from Seton Hall University, School of Law and from New York University, College of Arts and Sciences. After graduating from law school, Pantea served as Senior Associate at the Law Office of David Philipson, where she represented high-net-worth families and their businesses, before opening her own practice in the Coachella Valley.

Pantea is a dedicated member of her business community, serving as the Special Events Committee Chair of the Desert Estate Planning Council and an active member of the Women Leaders Forum of the Coachella Valley. During the summer months, she devotes a few weeks of her time serving as a camp counselor for her favorite organization, Camp to Belong, which reunites siblings who have been separated in the foster system for a fun (and often challenging!) week of memory building and family bonding.

Pantea lives in Palm Springs with her husband, her step-daughter, and their fur-baby, Ruby. She is licensed to practice law in California.

We had a great experience seeing Pantea at Palm... Desert Law Group! From the very beginning, her team did a phenomenal job at scheduling us in, following up with us and preparing us for our first meeting. When we got to the office for our first appointment, they were all prepared for us and welcomed us in. They had everything we needed to make our appointment so comfortable and easy for us. From litte snacks, coffee and pen and paper for us to take notes! During our meeting, Pantea explained everything to us, she was so patient and detailed and was very prepared for us. She answered all of our questions and gave us recommendations on what to do next for our Estate Planning. We are so looking forward on working with her and her team for this big decision we are making for our family! 100% Recommend Palm Desert Law Group!read more

I attended an estate planning webinar that Palm... Desert Law Group offered last month and then attended a one on one consult with Pantea. I went into my consult really feeling confused about how to move forward with my family's affairs and she helped to give me clarity and understanding on how estate planning works and what that would look like for my family in the future. I love the fact that this is a small business, their pricing is very straightforward and reasonable with no pressure. Her office staff is very helpful and responsive to emails and calls. I will definitely be patronizing this business in the future when it comes time to do my estate planning and would recommend Pantea and her team to anyone looking for help with family estate planning.read more

Update: I am updating my review more than a year later and I feel just as passionate, if not more, about Alpha today then I did then. Pete is such a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the business world. He can help anyone from small businesses to large corporations. I have seen him do team building events and even speaker events, no matter the event, you leave feeling inspired about doing business! He is the only business consultant I would trust with my future!I have gotten the pleasure to not only know the owner on a personal level, but I have been able to work professionally with him. He invests not only in his company but in people around him and their companies. If he doesn't know the answer (which is not likely) he will find it. He is honest and capable. He should be trusted with your business, marketing, finical, and personal needs.
