Working with Ruth was a wonderful experience! She is honest, caring, extremely knowledgeable, and always available to answer questions. She was able to guide my family through a complex estate sale with such ease and professionalism. She was a great partner to work with through a stressful time. We would highly recommend her to anyone in a similar situation. She made the entire process as seamless as possible and made sure we understood what was happening at all times. We were so grateful to have her on our side and look forward to working with her again!

Ruth was an absolute pleasure to work with. She guided us through the entire process from listing to closing. She set realistic expectations from the outset, provided us with weekly updates on the market dynamics, and shared consistent feedback on how to make our condo more attractive to potential buyers. She gave her professional opinion on the potential sale price of our condo but never pressured us and left the final decision to us. Once we accepted an offer, she helped ensure the closing process went smoothly. All in all, a positive experience. She comes highly recommended and we would definitely hire her again to buy/sell property.

Ruth was really wonderful to work with. It was my first time selling property and she guided me through the process calmly and supportively. With Ruth, the process was basically painless and went very smoothly. I would recommend Ruth to all my friends and family.

Working with Ruth to sell our home and find a new one was one of the best experiences weve had. Especially during stressful times, Ruths extensive knowledge of the market, network of high quality professionals that didnt break the bank, calm, professionalism, attentiveness, reassurance, and just the right amount of humor helped us tremendously with the process. We loved the professional quality photos of our home and successful open houses. We sold our condo within 3 weeks from listing in the dead of winter. Ruth is responsive and helpful in every way. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Ruth has how now helped us sell two homes and buy two homes in the course of five years. She is knowledgeable about the market, reliable, sets appropriate expectations, but more importantly cares deeply about her clients and ensures they are getting the best and most fair deal. I recommend her to friends and family without hesitation!
