Let me help you get pre-approved today!

My love for homeownership began in 2006. I started my career in the real estate industry at a well-known local title company. You can say I was young and eager to learn! I loved the relationships I built with Real Estate Agents, Attorneys, Loan Officers, Buyers, and Sellers. I was hooked!

In 2016, I decided to make a career change and ventured into the mortgage side....and I have not looked back!

I love the people I meet on all sides of the closing table. Many of them I know within my community. My husband and two young children are very active in sports and clubs. I served on the Board of Directors for the local Boys & Girls Clubs of Marshall County and played a major role in their annual fundraisers. I am also an active volunteer with our local Junior Achievement chapter. My love for my community shines through as a mortgage banker. I love to help families obtain their dream of homeownership!

I am also a mortgage specialist with Homes for Heroes®. The Nationwide organization with the sole purpose of giving back to our local heroes. I have many connections to our local heroes and I take great pride in my partnership.

When heroes work with Homes for Heroes® affiliate real estate, mortgage, and local business specialists, they receive Hero Rewards® savings when buying, selling, or refinancing a home; or when making every day home-related purchases. Thank you to our local heroes: Firefighters and EMS, Law Enforcement, Military (Active, Reserves, and Veterans), Healthcare Professionals, Teachers.

    The entire process went very quickly and smoothly. The communication about information needed or any issues were addressed and fixed quickly. Everyone is really friendly and keep you updated throughout the process of what to expect to happen next. Any questions are answered and explained so you understand them. At closing they celebrate with you and are very thoughtful! They make you feel like you’re part of their team. We will definitely be highly recommending them to our friends and family! Thank you so much for this wonderful journey and helping us achieve our dream home! 🏠 Chris & Mandy Boettcher

    Had USDA Loan. They move super quick! Closed within 20 days of making my offer! Also got me to close with absolutely ZERO closing costs. Jessica and Tammy was a pleasure to work with! Super prompt and kept in touch with my self and my realtor Leah Zellers! 10/10 recommend Ruoff!

    Jessica was very patient and flexible with me as I didn’t remember a lot from the first time I worked with her. This was another great experience nonetheless!! :)

    Every step was very simple and Jessica explained and walked us through every step and options that came with that step. Our purchase/selling of properties was a long drawn out process but we were constantly in communication and if something came up or needed to be addressed it was super easy to get it handled even with our busy work schedules.
