A bit about myself:

I grew up in Palm Springs, CA and had the pleasure to enjoy a great part of my life in Orange County, California. I am currently based out of Palm Desert, CA but I am registered to do business in Texas as well. I am actively involved in the community, and I am currently sitting in the Board of Directors for the John F, Kennedy Memorial Foundation.

I enjoy my career, and probably a bit too much! However, in my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and attending community events.

Feel free to connect with me here or email me at charles.alfaro@raymondjames.com anytime if you would like to get in touch. You can also feel free to reach my office line at 760-862-6749.

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.

I cannot recommend Coachella Valley Direct... Patient Care highly enough! From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted by a warm and welcoming staff that truly cares about their patients. The doctors are not only knowledgeable and skilled, but they also take the time to listen and understand individual needs.What I appreciate most is their flexibility and reliability; they consistently go above and beyond to accommodate scheduling and ensure that I receive the care I need. It’s clear that patient well-being is their top priority, and it shows in every interaction. If you're looking for a healthcare provider that genuinely puts patients first, look no further than Coachella Valley Direct Patient Care. Thank you to the entire team for your exceptional service!read more

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this office!! They... are all so caring, kind and knowledgeable. The convenience to have access to this office rather than sitting in an urgent care for hours and hours is PRICELESS. They take their time and listen to my medical issues/concerns, I have never felt rushed, ever! Do not hesitate to sign up for the membership (which is very affordable). You won’t regret it. I know I’m not the only one who has dealt with insurance nightmares with long waits in urgent care (especially when you aren’t feeling well) or waiting months and months on a waiting list just to see a new Dr, dealing with co-pays, frustrating phone calls with insurance just trying to get help is INFURIATING. Well you don’t have those nightmare and issues with this office. I HIGHLY recommend that you call this office immediately. You can thank me later. 🙂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

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.

The Desert Properties Realtors team will help you make informed decisions, negotiate acceptable terms on your behalf and communicate with you and advise you throughout all stages of the buying and selling process.

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

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.

Pantea has such a warm, empathetic approach to... estate planning and really facing the end of life stuff that none of us want to really deal with. This is the kind of stuff we procrastinate on because we don't want to face it. I learned a lot from the Palm Desert Law Group webinar on September 4. Often it's the people that make the process easy and, well, DOABLE. Pantea has this warmth and intelligence about her -- she makes it truly doable while meeting you where you're at, wherever that is. I can't wait to meet her in person next week. She's absolutely lovely. And she's a lawyer!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.

Pete has been such a huge support as a leader, to not just myself but to the community and all he comes into contact with. His love to help others shows through his focus on the development of others. Pete leads by example and is someone others want to follow. Thank you for your leadership and guidance, Pete!
