    Community Involvement
    I love serving the people and places that have shaped me. At my church, I lead a women's group, creating space for connection, prayer, and practical support. In a previous season, I served as building chair for our church's new addition--coordinating teams, timelines, and budgets to bring that vision to life. I also serve with the Kent Garden Club as president emeritus. Our volunteers steward nine garden and food projects across the Grand Rapids area, growing beauty and produce, teaching neighbors how to care for their own spaces, and partnering with local organizations. It's hands-on work, rooted in community, and it's one of my greatest joys.
    HOBBIES/INTEREST
    I'm happiest with dirt on my hands and fresh air in my lungs. I love gardening--growing dahlias and seasonal blooms, hosting "flower bar" days, and pitching in on community garden projects around Grand Rapids. When I'm not among the flowers, I'm often outdoors with my family: fly fishing (and a little ice fishing in winter), hiking our up-north property, and cheering on the hunters. I also enjoy home design and staging--refreshing spaces, playing with paint and textures, and helping people see a home's potential. Add in church and community volunteering, and you've got my sweet spot: creating beauty, gathering people, and spending time outside with the ones I love.
    FAMILY
    We're grateful to have our whole crew close by in West Michigan. John and I love time with our kids--busy professionals--and our seven grandchildren (ages 1-10), who fill our weeks with laughter, soccer balls, and story time. Family dinners, cabin weekends up north, and everyday drop-bys are the best parts of our calendar.

    When we met Kristin for the first time, we knew immediately that she was the realtor we wanted. She has many wonderful qualities. Shes kind, friendly, helpful, organized and kept us informed on each step of the buying and selling process. She gave us great tips so that our house was ready for the market. Kristin chose a person to take pictures and a video which were beneficial in the marking and selling of our home. It sold in one week!! She organized the closings of the home we sold and the home we bought to be on the same day. This was very helpful and convenient. If youre looking for a realtor that goes the extra mile and makes the process a positive experience, then choose Kristin Ruther. Were very thankful we did!!

    Kristin was highly professional and sold my house within three days on the market for far more than I had hoped for. She was very knowledgeable and well connected. She arranged for the house to be pre inspected, professionally and tastefully staged and used a first rate photographer to put together a pictures and 3D walk through video to help market the house. I highly recommend Kristin.

    Kristin was wonderful to work with. She did a great job working with my limitations and helping point out things about properties that I wouldnt have even thought to look for. She was very responsive and answered every question I had, and made me feel much more comfortable with the process as a first time home buyer.
