Jim was recommended to me by 2 trustworthy people (independent of each other) for the purchase of a property sight unseen. Jim evaluated the property and guided us through a successful offer process. 100% would recommend.

Jim understood my situation and was very flexible. As a first time home buyer, and purchasing without being local to the area, Jim far exceeded my expectations and promptly answered all of my questions/concerns.
Thank you.

Jim Ruttger was wonderful to work with. He came to us as a referral, and I placed a lot of expectations on him. He was professional in his dealing with us. Thoroughly explained the process and he efficiently answered questions when they arose. Jim was discreet and personable when we spoke about selling our home. I appreciate Jim's hard work and dedication. I strongly feel Jim Ruttger was the right person to sell our home. I highly recommend him and will refer Jim to friends and family looking to buy or sell a home.
