Craig Chorpenning is a luxury real estate agent with Desert Sotheby's International Realty, working from the brokerage's Indian Wells office on Highway 111 and its La Quinta office in Old Town. He has been licensed in California since 2010 (CA DRE 01887862) and focuses on country club homes, gated estates and trust and probate sales across Indian Wells, La Quinta, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert and Palm Springs.
Craig began his career in coastal Orange County with Pacific Sotheby's and the Stanfield Real Estate team, and he still draws on that coastal buyer network for desert clients. Palm Springs Life has named him among the Coachella Valley's top agents in several years, most recently on its 2025 and 2026 lists, and RealTrends Verified 2026 placed him third by 2025 sales volume among Indian Wells agents. His 2024 co-listing of 550 Palisades Drive in Palm Springs closed at $8,150,000, which Palm Springs Life reported as the city's top sale of that year.
His club work includes Toscana Country Club, Indian Wells Country Club, Clancy Lane in Rancho Mirage and The Hideaway in La Quinta, where his recorded sales include the listing of 80140 Via Pessaro, a single-family home that closed in March 2024 at $4,600,000, and a homesite on Via Portofino that he handled on both sides later that year.
