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.

Palm Desert Law Group, APCPantea 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.
