ZillowVERIFIEDMark is an awesome realtor and an awesome person! He went above and beyond and even assisted in guiding me in selling my house as an aEURoefor sale by owneraEUR?. He was always available and even helped me purchase my new home over his vacation. While he was a the beach he was calling the other realtor and guiding negotiations. If you are looking to buy or sell a home, Mark should be your choice!

ZillowVERIFIEDFor the 2nd time, we utilized Mark Ruby to sell our house and to buy a new one. Mark was with us every step of the way, offering wise advice, ideas, and recommendations. He puts his clients first, and goes to bat for them. We ran into a number of difficult issues in both selling and buying our house, but they did not phase Mark. Not only is Mark a great real estate agent, he is also well networked, and knows who to contact for any needs (plumbing, roofing, electrical, etc) that might arise. He also has a great eye for staging. We highly recommend Mark and will use him again down the road.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe recently used Mark for the second time. He helped us buy our starter home in 2011 and we had such a great experience we brought him back when we were looking for an upgrade. He helped walk us through the steps of preparing our home to be sold (including advice on staging, painting, etc) and was always available to answer questions. We ended up getting multiple viewings and an offer within just 48 hours of listing.On the purchase end, he took the time to really understand what we were looking for in a new home and took us around to many (many) houses until we found the perfect one for us. He did a great job coordinating our home sale with our home purchase- since we needed to close on both houses on the same day in order for the purchase to go through. It was a lot of moving parts, but all went smoothly!Mark does a great job at keeping in touch with his clients over the years- demonstrating that you are not just a client or a paycheck- you're a friend!

ZillowVERIFIEDIf you are looking for a realtor who is intuitive, hardworking, and personable, I recommend Mark Ruby. Throughout his time with us, he demonstrated a high level of competence of his craft. He used his keen knowledge of the local Reisterstown housing market to direct the best way our property would be marketed to get us top dollar. He consistently showed respect for our opinions and feelings, as sellers, while incorporating our opinions with mutual respect. When decisions were needed, he made sure that we were well informed at every step along the process. Mark Ruby is my choice of Top Realtor in today's home selling market!

ZillowVERIFIEDMark is a rare blend of process expertise, humility, diligence, integrity, and market knowledge. Having had the good fortune to work with Mark on the sale of my mother's home, I would never consider using anyone else. He made what would have been an otherwise difficult transaction, extremely smooth. Not only did we sell the house for a higher price than the list, but the difficulties inherent to selling an old home were handled quickly and in the best interest of all parties. He is simply the best realtor I have ever met.

ZillowVERIFIEDI 100% recommend Mark for all real estate needs. I moved across the country and worked with Mark to sell my house in Sykesville. Mark collaborated with me, working through challenging situations and always had my best interest in mind. Mark dealt with negotiations, and contracts falling through (out of our control, buyer losing job before closing) and always worked with me to come up with a new approach to keep my listing fresh and active, with minimal cost. I have recommended Mark to multiple people, and will ask for his help with all my real estate needs. Thank you Mark!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe have worked with Mark twice. He helped us through the process of finding and buying a lot on which we will be building our future house. Mark was respectful to find a lot that fell well within our budget parameters. We found his knowledge about buying a lot helpful. Mark also helped us sell our home in Westminster. We knew there would be some difficultly since the house is on what some consider to be a busy road. Prior to listing, Mark did a walk through and provided a list of recommendations for improvements. Afterwards, Mark set reasonable expectations for what our price point should be and gave us staging advice. Mark was respectful when we were not fully able to meet all the recommendations. In addition, we started the listing price higher than originally discussed. After a few weeks on the market, we changed our home presentation and lowered the price. Our home had a contract not long after. Mark was patient and understanding during our process. He connected us with the contractor who is designing and building our new house. Mark seemed to always know someone in a different service field who helped us in our process as well, like an interior decorator, electrician, mortgage company, etc. Mark is very trustworthy, responsive, and willing to work with you through the entire process. During both experiences, Mark went above what we would have expected as well. He was very timely in his responses to emails and texts. Lastly, he is a family man, who often asked about our children and shared about his own. It made a difference.

ZillowVERIFIEDI've worked with Mark three times now - twice with buying a home and once with selling. Each time, Mark has shown a high level of expertise and professionalism. He is easy to reach and maintains contact so that you are always aware of what is happening within the home buying/selling process. He also takes the extra time to make sure you fully understand everything and are comfortable before moving forward. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone in need of a trustworthy realtor!

ZillowVERIFIEDMark listed and sold our townhome in the spring of 2018. He was extremely knowledgeable of what was necessary to make our home marketable and provided the professional assistance for us to make the improvements needed to maximize the return on our investment. Mark staged our home beautifully and marketed it effectively, it sold it no time. If you are looking to buy or sell a home we would definitely recommend Mark Ruby for all your Real Estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIEDMark worked with us throughout the entire process, from getting our house ready, giving sound advice, extensive marketing, and attention to every detail until the final settlement. His honesty, ethics, and hard work do not go unnoticed in the local community. Even though he often has many listings at the same time, we always felt that our home and our listing was his #1 priority.

ZillowVERIFIEDMark is a consummate professional with the classic integrity and customer-first service that can be so hard to find this day in age. Mark went above and beyond in providing advice and support in staging the home we were selling and guiding us towards making cost-effective improvements to increase the sales price. In the end, Mark helped us identify the right buyer at the right price and worked tirelessly to bring our sale across the finish line. We were also on a tight timeline with buying a home so Mark also worked with us extensively to find the home that best fit our family and location requirements. We love the home we're in and felt we had the information to make a wise purchase decision. His consistent and honest communication kept us at ease through what is normally a very stressful time. I'd recommend Mark to anyone. I've worked with realtors previously on buying and selling homes, but I've never worked with another realtor of Mark's caliber.

ZillowVERIFIEDMark responded quickly to our questions and sought to work with the other realtors well and effectively during the sale of our home and the buying process of a new home. He was extremely thorough in making sure communication and contracts were exact. He staged and used the best video and photography resources to sell our home quickly to the best buyer. Mark worked to give us many options of homes to look at in a variety of areas since we were new to the Reisterstown area. He listened to what we liked and didn't like about the early homes we walked through and adjusted his searches to fit what we were looking for.

ZillowVERIFIEDMark was a pleasure to work with, start to finish. His expertise and dedication to getting us to a successful settlement was remarkable. The house, now ours, was a particularly unusual case with many complications prior to settlement. Mark's hard work and positive attitude helped us to be patient. Mark is a realtor you can trust.

ZillowVERIFIEDMark was a referral from a friend - and we would gladly refer Mark to any other prospective client. His knowledge of the process, and the local area, made him invaluable. Most remarkably was his knowledge of what repairs and improvements we should make to the house in order to get it ready for sale. His knowledge of "staging" the house for sale got us a contract in under 30 hours from going on sale. When we asked him what price he thought the house would go for - his reply was the exact number we were hoping for and had researched. Unequivocal recommendation!

ZillowVERIFIEDMark Ruby is an exceptional realtor! He worked with us on both the sale of a home and purchase of a home, and his experience and knowledge on all aspects of the process were outstanding. He made it a point to make us feel like his most important client, always had time to discuss our questions and concerns, and was personally involved in every part of the selling and buying process. His techniques for staging and listing, to include professional photos and videos, helped our home sell within a week for full list price. His dedication and market knowledge helped us find an amazing home to purchase that met our difficult criteria on our tight schedule. Mark is a first class real estate professional and I highly recommend him.

ZillowVERIFIEDMark Ruby is a highly knowledgeable and personable real estate professional, and provided the best experience we have ever had in purchasing a home. He walked us through every detail and aspect of the home buying process, from the recommendation of a reputable loan officer, to leading us through every detail of the closing day regimen. For our needed renovation project, he gave us his recommendation of highly regarded professionals in the local area, of which we have been very pleased. Every question and contact were immediately responded to in a pleasant and reassuring manner. We would highly recommend Mark Ruby for anyone initiating buying a home. You will be very happy with the time and attention he will give you throughout.

ZillowVERIFIEDAs first-time homebuyers (in a seller's market nonetheless), we could hardly have asked for a better realtor than Mark! He was knowledgeable and patient in helping us understand the process and find a home we could really see ourselves in. He was super responsive, which is encouraging thru the ups and downs of real estate. We're very happy with our new place and settling in now, but if the need ever arises we'll certainly be going back to Mark again and feel like we have a new friend in the area too!

I would absolutely recommend him and I will turn to him again the next time I need a real estate agent.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe are now approaching our one year anniversary in our home that Mark helped us find and purchase. It took him no time at all to assess the type of buyers that we were and he put the tools we needed in front of us to make a purchase. His honest perspective and true ethical commitment were exactly what we needed.

Review for Member: Mark Ruby
ZillowVERIFIEDMark Ruby was absolutely wonderful. As first time home buyers new to the area (without friends/family in the area to help out), my husband and I relied on Mark for accurate insight into neighborhoods, location, and guidance throughout the entire process. He helped us through each and every step. Although the process was quite long for us, Mark was very patient and never gave up hope that we would find the perfect home for us. Mark is genuine and kind and was always very responsive to calls and e-mails. Buying a home (especially the first one!) is very stressful, but Mark made the process as smooth as it possible could be. When the time comes for us to sell and relocate for an upgrade, I know who I will be calling!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe have worked with Mark twice now and he has been excellent in every aspect of the process (listing, advertising, finding homes that fit our criteria, negotiating, advising, problem-solving, etc.). Mark is trustworthy, pleasant, hardworking, resourceful, accommodating, and knowledgeable. I give his name to anyone that is in the market and other friends/family members that have worked with him have reported an equally positive experience. No wonder he was rated the number one realtor in the carroll county times!

ZillowVERIFIEDMark Ruby was excellent to work with. He was our real estate agent for selling our previous home and purchasing our current home. He was very knowledgeable and navigated us well through both the selling and buying process. I really appreciated that he took the time to get to know us and our needs/desires in a new home and in our current home. He was also very patient with us in our fears of and newness to the process of selling and buying. During a time of great downturns in the housing market, he created a bidding war on our house, and we ended up selling our home for its asking price. He then negotiated a great deal for us on our current home. We were very satisfied customers, and I highly recommend Mark to others!

ZillowVERIFIEDMr. Ruby helped my family sell our house in record time. He was diligent and professional in all manners of the experience and utilized effective open houses to expand the appeal to our house to prospective buyers in Columbia. I would recommend Mr. Ruby for either side of the transaction experience as he was also an effective buyer's agent, and met all of our needs in purchasing a new home.
