Get to Know Ralph W. Haverkate

Ralph, Broker Associate of Tarbell Realtors, specializes in modern and contemporary Real Estate throughout the Palm Springs Valley, including Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells and La Quinta. Unique properties that have architectural significance are his area of expertise. Ralph has extensive knowledge of architectural history and interior design that assists his clients in buying and selling within the exclusive and unique niche of important modernist real estate properties. He understands that modern architecture is more than just flat roofs and boxy shapes. Ralph's diverse background makes him a natural for the real estate industry. Born and educated in Switzerland, a Dutch citizen and fluent in four languages, his 26 years of business across the globe have given him a distinctive talent for negotiation and diplomacy. His lifelong interest in fashion, design and artistic trends led to his passion for Mid-Century Modernism - studying how trend setting architects came to the Desert in the 1950s and incorporated nature and the area's abundance of light into homes here. In addition to international real estate, Ralph has numerous professional designations and prides himself on staying on the cutting edge of the real estate industry. He is not only a Broker and member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) in the United States but also belongs to The International Real Estate Association (FIABCI) and is Transnational Referral Certified (TRC).

The Living is Easy Palm Springs.  Rancho Mirage.  Palm Desert.  Indian Wells.  La Quinta.  Life in the Desert Cities has never been better.  Nestled between the San Bernardino National Forest and Joshua Tree National Park, the area is a Mecca for tennis players, golfers and outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds.  It's a prime location for those who value beauty, artistry and all the natural amenities that Southern California has to offer.  But acquiring a home in the Palm Springs Valley takes more than just a desire for the good life.  It takes an expert who shares a common appreciation for the uniqueness of the region, but who is also well versed in architecture, design and construction and who is up to date with the ever-changing abundance of California disclosures and contracts. Real estate professional Ralph Haverkate takes pride in a one-on-one approach to real estate.  More than just a run-of-the-mill Realtorâ, Ralph's business philosophy is simple: to develop personal, long-term relationships that are as unique as the properties themselves.

My lifelong interest in fashion, design and artistic trends led to my passion for Mid-Century, Vintage & Modern Real Estate.  Studying how trend setting architects came to the Desert in the 1950s and incorporated nature and the area's abundance of light into homes, we've been fortunate to have nationally recognized Mid-Century architects, such as for e.x., Albert Frey, Richard Neutra, Donald Wexler who designed and built those modern homes. These designs live on and are hot in today's Real Estate market.

My expertise lays in specialty homes and unique residential Real Estate.
