ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Ruth was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process. She was always very considerate, gave very useful feedback and advice, and was quite decisive in dealing with the agents on the other side. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind but determined person to work with."

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"I could not recommend Ruth more. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable about the area and process, always responsive, and an overall great person to work with. She quickly helped us learn the area and neighborhoods, and negotiated effectively on our behalf. Her organizational skills result in a smooth process with no questions or concerns left unanswered. I would recommend Ruth to anyone looking to buy or sell within the Houston area and hope to work with her again in the future!"

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Ruth went above and beyond our expectations! She makes an effort to be available 24/7 and goes out of her way to make you feel at ease even for questions or concerns you may feel silly for having. Ruth is very knowledgeable on the Houston market and her insight was extremely valuable to us throughout this process. She is always willing to explain what happens at each turn and make you feel comfortable every step of the way. Buying and selling a home can be really stressful, but Ruth does everything she can to make the process as painless as possible. We canā€™t say enough good things about her and her team!! Highly recommend!!"

"We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Ruth! She was very patient with us from the moment we decided to begin our for our first home through the closing process. Ruth's knowledge of the housing market, neighborhoods and homes that we looked out was very helpful in our decision process. I know that when it is time (hopefully not anytime in the near future) to look for our next home, we will return to Ruth as we value her opinions, information and communication skills! Thank you very much."

About Ruth
Honest. Savvy. Strong financial acumen. Fierce negotiator. Detail-oriented. These are just a few words that clients and business associates have used to describe Ruth when asked what it's like to work with her. But don't just trust their words. Look at the numbers, awards, and her stats:

- Over $30 million a year individual sales, doubling her production each year since she began her career.

- Contracted with luxury builders and real estate investment groups for all of their real estate transactions and listings.
 
- Consistently represents investment bankers, physicians, well-funded investors, and high net-worth individuals throughout Houston's most prestigious luxury neighborhoods: Memorial, West U, Briargrove, The Heights, Oak Forest/Garden Oaks, Spring Branch and The Woodlands.

But behind the awards and recognition, beyond the recommendations and the results, you will find a highly skilled, knowable professional who puts clients' financial and real estate interests at the forefront of all decisions. To do that requires an in-depth knowledge of real estate contracts and language, negotiation skills, construction quality and industry, the use of integrated marketing platforms, insight into resale potential, a great education, and most of all - great mentors. Ruth was mentored in every area of real estate including the importance of design and its influence on gaining premium pricing - all of these unique skills are rare in today's crowded realtor marketplace.

Ruth is also described as a warm, personable and a great communicator. Just a few quotes from her reviews sum it up:

"She made us feel valued."
"She was able to communicate clearly."
"Always available."
"Knowledgeable and reachable."
"A pleasure to work with."
"Very patient with us."

 

In between taking care of her clients, caring for her three children, and managing her career, Ruth is actively involved in the Texas Exes Alumni Chapter, Houston Rodeo, Junior League, and Small Steps Nurturing Center. Ruth helped start the Parent Organization at The Kenworthy School in The Heights and has continued to Memorial to serve the PTO at Frostwood Elementary School in Memorial. She is married and loves to visit Austin for Game Days in the fall (Hook Em), spend time at the lake with family, travel, and try new restaurants!
