    From start to finish, working with Brad at Ruoff Mortgage was an absolute pleasure. He went above and beyond to make the loan process smooth, transparent, and stress-free. Brad took the time to explain every detail in plain language, always made himself available to answer my questions (no matter how big or small), and was incredibly proactive in keeping me updated every step of the way. What impressed me most was his genuine care—Brad didn’t just see me as another file; he truly wanted the best possible outcome for my situation. His professionalism, expertise, and friendly demeanor made what could have been a complicated process feel simple and even enjoyable. Thanks to Brad’s dedication and hard work, my loan closed on time and without surprises. I can’t recommend him highly enough to anyone looking for a loan officer who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and committed to exceptional service.

    Brad was very easy to get a hold of whenever we had a question about anything. Process was easy. It was nice to have the personal touch of him attending our closing so we can meet him in person as well.
