Philanthropy and community involvement are very important to our team. Through volunteer efforts and charitable donations we are committed to giving 5% of our income each year to a wide variety of local organizations, and have been doing so since our first sale.

Philosophy

Real estate is about making sure my clients win, delivering an extraordinary level of service, and doing the right thing.

Since 2009, people have been leveraging my real estate and design expertise to command high prices and identify hidden opportunities. I ask smart questions, analyze the hard facts, and make straightforward recommendations tailored to your situation. Then, I deploy the best marketers, creatives, tradespeople, and tech in service of your goals.

My client list is small, which means youā€™ll have my full attention. But my team is not, which means we handle the 100s of details in your transaction while you handle your life. And, our long-standing relationships with SFā€™s top agents give you access to the 25% of deals done off-market. You can leave the stress of buying and selling to us ā€” we wonā€™t rest until you are delighted.

Background

Growing up in the Midwest, my eight siblings and I didnā€™t have much. That gave me grit, taught me how to work hard, and gave me the ability to problem-solve from multiple perspectives.

When I moved to San Francisco in 2002, I knew I was home. Before real estate, Iā€™d had a sales career, held leadership positions, and ran my own interior design firm. I constantly seek improvement, and I love a challenge. I believe life is about growth, and coaching is one of the biggest investments I make in myself and my business.

When Iā€™m not working, getting after a personal goal, or masterminding with other entrepreneurs, you might find me biking on the Great Highway, hiking at Landā€™s End, or dining at Robin, Alā€™s Place, or Rooh. My husband, two sons, and I love to travel ā€” weā€™ve been around the world, and we regularly head to Tahoe to enjoy the outdoors.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Ruth and her team did an outstanding job of selling our Pacific Heights home. From beginning to end she guided us to our goal of getting a fair price (actually more than expected) for our home on a timely basis. For our part we did very little. She planned, organized and executed a plan to prepare our home for the market. Her marketing plan was outstanding. She and her team are professional, experienced, tenacious and easy to work with." -P.D., Seller

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Had we gone with a REALTORĀ® any less tenacious, market-aware or invested than Ruth, our sale price would have been significantly lower." -F. B., Seller

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Working with Ruth was a delight. She prepared us, protected us and positioned us for what could not have been a more successful sale." -J.R., Seller

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"My wife and I went into this nervous about the market, but Ruth's approach to education changed everything. They took the time to walk us through the "past sold" data in deep detail. This didn't just give us information; it gave us confidence. By the time we were ready to move, we understood the market so well that we felt comfortable making a move on a property sight unseen. The proof of their method is in the result: We wrote exactly one offer and got into contract immediately. No endless cycles of rejection, no wasted timeā€”just a smooth, incredibly efficient path to success." -E.L., Buyer

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Ruth is phenomenal. I retained her to help me find a home at the end of last year. Having worked with several other brokers in the past to find homes for myself - and my parents - I can say unequivocally that she's truly as good as it gets." -M.A, Buyer

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"From listening to our long list of requirements and understanding our budgets, to showing us many, many houses, each of which met our exacting requirements, to taking charge of the closing process, down to every small detail, Ruth made sure that my husband and I remained informed and in-control, while having to do almost no work at all. As first-time home buyers, we could not have asked for a better guide than Ruth, without whom we would never have found as marvelous of a home as the one that we now own." -P.C., Buyer
