      Kim is the absolute best at what she does! We have been clients for 12 years now, bought 2 homes and sold 2 homes, and every experience has been exceptional with each detail being handled swiftly and with the utmost professionalism. Kim has our highest recommendation!

      Whenever I see five-star reviews I always sarcastically think "yeah, right." Not this time. Five stars across the board and my wife and I would give her even more stars. Local Knowledge: Kim Ruhl was spot on. Her understanding of the area and the housing market completely informed our listing decision. Process Expertise: Stone cold perfect, Kim walked us through what was coming, what was still needed, and what to expect. Responsiveness: Off the charts, this is a real communicator. Negotiation Skills: Firm, but never overbearing. This made the closing process the simplest part. Kim's recommendations where a huge help to us. In working with Kim my wife and I quickly realized we hadn't just hired a real estate agent, we had a real partner. Don't hesitate to contact her.

      Ten out of 5 stars. If youre buying or selling a house, this is who you want. I will never again buy or sell in the area without Kim. Kim is a house whisperer, and amazing person! She walked us aEUR" as first-time sellers aEUR" through the house selling process from start to close. Todd (quickly!) created state of the art marketing for it, to include a custom website with professional photographs of the house, a 3D model, and virtual staging. She accurately estimated the value of our home and helped determine the listing price -ultimately appraising at asking price. They had an immediate sense of the selling points of our home and how best to market the home, and the materials were impressive. (So good that we briefly questioned our decision to sell!) While under contract, we hit some unforeseeable roadblocks that threatened to derail the sale and set us back financially. Kim went above and beyond (thats an understatement) to help us resolve these roadblocks. She kept the sale on track despite unprecedented challenges with a belligerent, uncommunicative, and uncooperative contractor. Kim is communicative, proactive, diligent, and extremely knowledgeable. With anyone less experienced or less dedicated, our house sale would have fallen through. Her positive, forward-moving, tenacious attitude saved our house sale and saved us untold time, stress, and money.

      Kim and Todd were the most amazing, easy to work with team to help sell my house! She walked me through everything and made it easy to understand, giving her expert opinion when needed to help guide me in all the decisions to help my home sell and Todd was amazing with the photo/home tour side of things too! Made it look so gorgeous I almost wish I was living there again!

      We couldnt be happier with our experience working with Kim! From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to help us purchase our new home. I honestly dont think the seller would have selected our offer without Kims expertise, guidance, and hard work. She knew how to position our offer and advocate for us every step of the way, and we are incredibly grateful for that. Kims husband, Todd, also deserves a huge thank you. He did an outstanding job with the photography, 3D tour, and marketing of our old home. The quality of their work really helped showcase our house, and we were able to sell it quickly. Kim and Todd make an incredible team. They are knowledgeable, responsive, professional, and genuinely care about their clients. They made what could have been a stressful buying and selling process feel much easier, and we always felt like they had our best interests at heart. We highly recommend Kim and Todd to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. We couldnt have asked for a better team!
