Buyer reviewJim was very easy to work with. He was patient in finding us exactly what we were looking for. The house we ended up purchasing was one he had found for us based on what we had told him we were looking for. We were in the process of relocating to the area and he was very flexible in making things work. Jim was amazing to work with! He knew a lot about the area and was very knowledgeable in answering any questions we had. It took some time to get an offer accepted on one we were interested in due to the fact that all the ones we were interested in went very quickly. He was very patient in helping us. We were referred by a family member. We were told Jim has been working real estate for a long time and was knowledgeable of the area. We started with a different realtor from another company and were not happy with them so we were looking to switch. Overall we are very happy we choose to switch to Jim Ruttger! We love our new home!

Seller reviewI trust Jim Ruttger...…...and know he is more than capable Jim listed our home on a Wednesday and we had a PA the following Monday...……..allowing us to purchase the new home before someone else did. It was a crash and burn and we got it done. Jim's presentation on line was absolutely excellent……..

Buyer reviewJim is a great realtor to work with! He knows the Brainerd Lakes area better than anyone as he was born and raised here. He has an easy going personality and is willing to go the extra mile to get you the house/property that you were hoping for. We had an awesome experience working with Jim and the same goes for our friends and family who have worked with him in the past. We highly recommend choosing Jim as your realtor.

Seller reviewJim was friendly, helpful and professional. He listened to our needs and worked hard to meet them. The house was on the market for a while, and Jim was patient and encouraging the whole time. We closed via mail and all went very smoothly. Jim went above and beyond to make sure the buyers needs were met without us having to travel there-removing appliances, changing a lock, and hiring a contractor to deal with a tree issue. A huge thanks to Jim. We had a great experience!
