    Russ and Lorel were great to work with. As a first time home buyer, they were patient with all my questions and were very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend Ruoff.

    Russ and Lorel were incredibly knowledgeable and personable throughout the loan process. If there were issues, they were handled quickly and efficiently. They were always very clear on expectations, timelines, and costs. I was really impressed. As a first time home buyer, I was very nervous about the process and they helped me feel at ease! I would highly recommend Ruoff.

    What I appreciated most was thier looking at our entire curcumstances, and needs. My car was never going to make it to the office, so Russ and Jim brought the papers to me at my home to sign. And now, thanks to the refinance, we are in a position to buy a wheelchair van. Thats customer service!! Thank you.

    I appreciate Russ explaining the entire process in a simple but understandable manner, which can be difficult for an immigrant to understand. Russ and his team promptly responded and completed the closing on time.

    Russ & Lorel were excellent to work with. Everything was done expediently & with complete accuracy. They are superior in their work ethic & left no question unanswered. I honestly cannot put into words how awesome I think they are. I feel like they're family. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone in need of a mortgage company. Thank you for your hard work, I appreciate it very much.

    Russ and Loren worked seamlessly together to make my mortgage loan process as painless as possible. When the buyer's mortgage company dropped the ball, Loren was assertive in pursuing information and pushing the process forward to get me to closing. They both answered my many questions patiently and thoroughly and were very pleasant to work with!

    Honesty! When I first met Russ he said I would do better if I waited a little and paid somethings if and got my credit up but didn't make me feel less than. He is very educated and personable. I would recommend him to anyone
