Our Story

In 1984, David Ruoff decided there was a better way to meet the financial needs of our community. With 25 years of experience in the mortgage industry, the Dave Ruoff Mortgage Co. was started in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The name was later changed to Ruoff Mortgage.

Ruoff is proud to be a family-owned business. In 2007, David's son-in-law, Mark Music, joined the business as the new president. Upon David's retirement in 2012, Mark took over as president and CEO.

Ruoff Mortgage is ranked as the number one mortgage lender in Indiana and has become one of the fastest-growing companies in the country. We’ve grown from a single location in northeast Indiana to more than 700 employees, with 71 branches in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, and Florida. While our corporate headquarters remains in Fort Wayne, Ruoff now reaches homebuyers nationwide with its online division.

Even with its tremendous growth, we are most proud of the business and community partnerships we've formed in our 40+ years in business. We continue to make the dream of homeownership a reality and welcome thousands of happy homebuyers into the Ruoff family.
