    There are no words strong enough to express how grateful we are for Ruth. She wasnt just our real estate agentaEUR"she became part of our journey, part of our story. From day one, she treated us like family and made it clear that finding the right home for us was her top priority. Ruth went above and beyond in ways well never forget. She listened to our needs, understood our hopes, and never once made us feel pressured or rushed. She celebrated the little wins with us, comforted us when things got stressful, and somehow always knew the right words to keep us grounded and positive. What makes Ruth so special is her heart. She cared about our familys future, not just the transaction. Every step of the wayaEUR"through the late-night calls, countless showings, and tough decisionsaEUR"she was patient, kind, and endlessly supportive. She made sure we didnt just find a house, but a home where our family could grow, laugh, and build memories. Thanks to Ruth, were now in a place that feels like it was meant for us. Her dedication, compassion, and genuine care made all the difference. Well always be thankful that she was the one guiding us through this chapter of our lives. If you want someone who will fight for you, care for you, and truly walk with you through one of the biggest decisions of your life, Ruth is that person. Shes more than an agentaEUR"shes a blessing.

    I was lucky enough to have Zillow assign Ruth to me when I requested a realtor for a property in Fort Myers I was interested in. She called instantly, in the end, we closed on that property from 1000 miles away without any issues one month later. I personally met her and she is, intelligent, friendly, a go getter, a professional with enthusiasm and someone that will be in your corner you can relate to. This lady is going places!!!! She always gets back to you in a timely manner, answers and researches all questions. She goes above and beyond even after the sale, she ran errands for my benefit to wrap up after the sale as an example. I have had many realtors over the years, Ruth is 100 percent my realtor for her location, which is now my location and I consider her friend. Her brokerage best be aware she is a "top gun" and on the rise, I'd recommend a new company car for her efforts at the least. You go girl!!!

    From the moment we met Ruth we knew she would be 'our Realtor'. We live in Wisconsin and were purchasing a vacation home in Cape Coral. We needed a realtor we could trust. One that would remember what we wanted in a home and provide honest information, not just look for a sale. Ruth was amazing in every aspect. She always made time to show us the houses we were interested in, she pointed out imperfections, let us know if a house was in a not great neighborhood, and remembered the littles of things we talked about. Ruth definitely made buying a home 1500 miles away a lot easier!
