    We appreciated Eileen’s assistance during the whole process. Any time we had a question or concern, she was always easy to get in contact with and return our emails and calls quickly. I was also very happy to meet her. She was just as nice in person as she was through emails and calls. I would recommend Ruoff to anyone looking to buy a home.

    Thank you! The process of buying a home was super scary to think about! But when we got connected to the ladies at Ruoff all that being scared disappeared. They help us with everything from start to finish. Nothing was to big or to small for that team! You guys are the best .

    Eileen and her team were highly responsive, professional and helpful throughout the entire process. She even was present at closing just in case there were questions. We went from application to cleared to close in 17 days!!

    Eileen was very knowledgeable, punctual, always responded very quickly. This was the best experience I've had with a lending company. No suprises and things were completed in a very timley manner.

    Eileen and Dawn were so on top of this mortgage loan . I was a single female business owner / not a very easy type of loans as a client for them They moved this and closed me in under 30 days with a percent and deposit I asked for They were excellent and exceptional i will send everyone to them

    It was quick, easy, and everything was explained to me. I've already referred Eileen to two people. Dawn was also very sweet and kind. Thank you!

    This was the easiest mortgage process I've ever went through. Everything was taken care of as expected and Eileen was willing to check for a lower interest rate before closing to save me money!

    Being a first time home buyer was scary at first not knowing the process but Dawn and Eileen walked us through everything and made us comfortable. The nicest people on the plane!
