ZillowVERIFIED Edward was our right hand and guide through this whole past process. He knows the area intricately and cares about it and the people that live here to no end. They are his neighbors.He seemed to know exactly what we were looking for after just a couple of meetings, and very patiently showed us anything that was available that might fit the bill. When we found the perfect house and lost it, and it later came back on the market, he was as excited as we were to make the match workout. Would recommend him highly. Would use him again. Think of him as a friend now.

ZillowVERIFIED Emily was exceptional and we could not have asked for a better real estate professional to help us navigate the sell or our home. She is extremely knowledgeable and was responsive and accessible during the entire process. She made thoughtful recommendations that helped our home sell quickly. She has great working relationships with local contractors and businesses that led to any work and repairs being completed quickly and they were done well. She went above and beyond to make the process seamless and stress free. I would highly recommend Emily if you are looking to buy or sell a home!

ZillowVERIFIED Clare Connor is more than just a real estate agent aEUR" she is a true perfectionist who genuinely cares about her clients and sees every detail through to the finish line. Throughout the entire process of buying our dream home and selling our current house, Clare was incredibly diligent, patient, and dependable. Life was extremely busy and overwhelming for me during this time, but Clare understood that completely. She consistently followed up on every piece of paperwork, kept everything organized, and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks before closing. I truly believe that if I had worked with another agent, they may have become frustrated and given up on me aEUR" but not Clare. She stayed supportive, professional, and committed from beginning to end. What impressed me even more was that she went above and beyond her role as an agent. She even helped us list unwanted items for free so they could be picked up before closing, which relieved so much stress for our family. If you are buying or selling a home, Clare is the kind of person you want by your side. She is not just an agent aEUR" she is a problem solver, a finisher, and someone who genuinely cares about helping her clients succeed. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

ZillowVERIFIED As first time home sellers Emily was amazing and very helpful throughout the whole process. Starting with our initial meeting she was very prepared and had done her research on our house and the surrounding area. She genuinely seemed excited about selling our house, which made us feel comfortable with letting her list it. She has tons of experience in real estate which was very helpful, especially selling an older home. She was able to guide us through the whole process and helped make tough decisions easy for us. She also did a great job of utilizing various resources to generate traffic for our home. Emily's communication was top notch, whether it was via call, text, or email you were never left waiting for a response. I cannot say enough great things about Emily and the Vutech and Ruff group. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely trust her again with selling or buying a home.

ZillowVERIFIED I recently had the pleasure of working with Emily Knoppe and the team at Vutech-Ruff to sell my condo in Columbus, OH, and I can't say enough good things about the experience. Emily was incredibly transparent, professional, and friendly from start to finish. She was speedy, efficient, and a great communicatoraEUR"qualities that made the process so much easier, especially since I wasn't in Columbus at the time. Emily truly went above and beyond, coordinating everything from repairs and cleaning to photography and advertising. She handled all the details seamlessly, making it a one-stop shop for me. I trusted her implicitly, and she more than delivered. Best of all, she managed to sell our condo in just 48 hours! If you're looking for someone who takes care of everything with professionalism and a personal touch, I highly recommend Emily and her team. You won't be disappointed!

ZillowVERIFIED We met Edward while looking at homes during an open house he was hosting. His knowledge of the market we were interested in coupled by his explanation of how he and the Vutech Ruff team works to sell a home was outstanding. During our engagement with him over the past few months, he and the team shared homes with us that were getting ready to be listed, giving us a preview of what was to come. His expertise in the German Village market was invaluable in helping us to make the decision on our purchase. Edward was attentive, communicated with us frequently, developed a plan to follow for the preparations to sell our current home. Additionally, he provided a list of people that have helped us in our new location while also getting our current home ready for the market. We are thrilled with Edward and the Vutech Ruff Team; this truly felt like a partnership between us all.

ZillowVERIFIED Anna was so wonderful to work with as my purchasing agent with Vutech/Ruff of Cutler Real Estate. Always cheerful and optimistic, a problem solver, and troubleshooter, she made my new home purchase so easy and enjoyable. She was able to answer and respond promptly to any question or concern I had with knowledge, professionalism, and with a solution. I am deeply grateful to her for making home buying a very pleasurable and satisfactory event. I highly recommend Anna to be your agent!

ZillowVERIFIED Full cash offer the first day on the market. Priced correctly, advertised appropriately and it moved quickly. He is responsive, prompt, straight forward and honest. He genuinely cares and is exactly the type of person I would want advocating and looking out for my interests. He doesnt just want to make a quick dollar. He wants to build relationships. He just helped my fiancA(C) and I get into another home. Genuinely did not think we would be able to find or afford it. He moved swiftly and has the insight and relationships already built to get the impossible done. Then turned around the next month and got my condo sold in a few days when on average they take 90 days to move. I saw another condo listed in the same building after me and also went contingent I made a comment, he said he gave the agent the contacts of the other interested parties that couldnt compete with my cash offer. This no way benefited him monetarily. Just the kind of person he is. Couldnt be happier or prouder to have him as a friend and agent.

ZillowVERIFIED We were seasoned buyers/sellers relocating to Columbus with no idea where we wanted to live. We always used realtors who were recommended by friends, but this time around we decided to do some research to find our own. We wanted vutech/ruff due to their vast portfolio of sold homes in Columbus and surrounding suburbs. We went with Brooks because he grew up in Bexley, lived in downtown Columbus and New Albany, therefore he perfect person to give us a well rounded perspective. He did not disappoint. He came up with a vast, diverse list of homes to view while we were in town. He drove us around with tours of neighborhoods in between viewing listings. His time management and logistical skills were impeccable. He picked up on our likes and dislikes quickly and we found a home we really wanted. The home ended up being through a relocation company so literally 100s of documents to sift through. Brooks did an amazing job staying on top of everything and negotiating for us to make sure we got the concessions we wanted. Brooks is a talented realtor at a top notch brokerage that will get the best for his clients. I will be recommending him to anyone and everyone who needs a realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED There are not enough words to describe how amazing Susie is. We were so excited to get to work with her again on selling our house after having such a great experience as buyers a few years earlier. She not only has the right guidance, detail and expertise to help support whatever needs you have, but she never hesitates to go above and beyond to make sure you are happy with your outcomes. She's is truly the best and we are lucky to have had her by our side for so long.

ZillowVERIFIED I found Jacquie through an open house and knew she was the right person to help with my home search. She is very knowledgeable with the Columbus housing market and was always quick to answer any questions or get us into a listing. She even put together my offer letter while she was on vacation.

ZillowVERIFIED We were so grateful to have Susie as our realtor during our first home buying experience. She not only helped us find and purchase our first home but did so while we were over 1,000 miles away! Susie was highly knowledgeable about the Columbus market, helped us determine which neighborhood would be a good fit for us, and made a complicated process seem simple. Due to Susie's deep understanding of our needs and her ability to move quickly, we locked in an off-market deal on a house that exceeded our expectations! She went above and beyond to make this process smooth for us, and we couldn't recommend her more.

ZillowVERIFIED Vutech & Ruff has a stellar reputation in German Village where I sold my home, and I can see why. Marilyn listed my home for sale on a Friday and on Saturday we had an open house. By the end of that weekend, I had several offers and the house ended up selling for $33,500 over the list price. Granted, its a sellers market right now, but I have no doubt if it wasnt for Vutech & Ruff, my house would not have sold so quickly or within the price I range I was ultimately hoping for. Marilyn provided excellent guidance in terms of staging, marketing, and offers. Ive sold a couple houses in the past and never has the process been so stress-free. Furthermore, they referred me to a buyers agent in Cincinnati (where I was moving) and she is top-notch as well. I made an offer on the perfect house for me at this point in my life and it was accepted. (I was a little apprehensive because the offer was $20,000 below the list price.)In all respects, working with Vutech & Ruff served me very, very well.

ZillowVERIFIED The process from start to finish with Jeff Ruff and the entire Vutech-Ruff team was exceptional. I interviewed several realtors in advance of making my decision and Jeff stood out as someone who would actively market my house rather than list it and wait for buyers to appear. And he clearly delivered. The showing schedule filled quickly and we had an offer far above listing after the first day. The process was seamless from start to close. We could not be more pleased with the professionalism and excellent service provided by Vutech-Ruff. I would not even consider listing a house in the Columbus market with another agent.

ZillowVERIFIED When it came time to sell off our portfolio of residential properties, we interviewed a variety of real estate agents. Our ideal candidate was always going to be an experienced Central Ohio agent possessing a network of local contracts. We met a lot of outstanding agents.The search required narrowing the field, and we focused on our candidates' value-added skills. A high degree of professionalism, broad market knowledge and communication skills were key for us. In the end, the choice became clear--Sarah Abbitt of Vutech-Ruff. She possesses the skills and personality to create and maintain enthusiasm and the comforting sense that a professional hand is guiding the sales effort.Sarah has made this process a joy for us, and her efforts have resulted in the desired financial benefits. 50 years ago, the tools for buying and selling real estate were an MLS book and a telephone. Today, an agent must understand and manipulate many major channels. Sarah has that expertise. The consistent quality among all top agents is their refinement, their 'professional touch'. When you are selecting an agent, they must merit your trust. I would pick Sarah Abbitt every time.

ZillowVERIFIED Sarah has helped us with the purchase of two homes and the sale of one of those homes, we wouldnt recommend anyone else! Purchasing or selling a home is not an easy process. The key to success is someone who will fight for you no matter what. Sarah went above and beyond for us and made herself available to see many homes with us until we found the right fit. She is personable, professional, and knows what shes doing! The Vutech-Ruff team is lucky to have her. She gets 5+ stars. If you arent using her, you are missing out on her skills and knowledge of the business.

ZillowVERIFIED I am incredibly thankful for Jeff Ruff. Going into the process of finding my first home, I thought I was prepared. I was very wrong. Nothing can prepare you for how stressful the housing market currently is and how discouraging & frustrating it can be buying a home (even with a great budget!) due to the demand.Jeff was extremely patient and kind in explaining each step in the process. However, the most important part of working with Jeff is that he genuinely always had my best interest in mind.When I started to feel the stress and discouragement of having multiple offers (great offers!) declined, Jeff stayed both positive AND made sure I didnt start making reckless choices I was going to regret. We stayed dedicated to finding the right house, at the right price. In the end, I did get my dream home and its because Jeff brought the listing to my attention AND because of the incredibly strategic offer Jeff was able to craft for me.Buying a home right now is not just about cash. Its about making an offer that matches the needs of the buyer, thoughtful timing, and a great agent who wants to fight for you. I dont know if I would have been able to see the process to the end if I hadnt found this team to support me through it.If you are a first time home buyer, seasoned pro, or anything in between, you need all the advantages you can get in this market. Vutech | Ruff are an advantage and you WILL meet your goals with their help. Thank you for everything, Jeff!
