    Amy’s expertise was invaluable throughout my home-buying/loan-securing process. She is so helpful, knowledgeable, and organized, and handled every step of the process so professionally and efficiently, going above and beyond to make the process as easy as possible. Working with her made what could have been a very stressful endeavor very clear and straightforward, and saved me so much time and stress! I highly recommend Amy and Ruoff Mortgage.

    Amy was there for us from the very first phone call, while we were on the other side of the country, in a different time zone. She answered every single question timely, often within a minute, and kept us appraised as to the process, what to expect next. She greeting us as we flew in to be present during the home inspection, and asked if there is anything else she can offer to do to assist us, which she did. She coordinated with the broker, as they have done business together, and was sensitive to our Holiday schedule needs as well. Amy gave us referrals, of vendors that she had experience with locally. There isn’t anything that we could have dreamed of going smoother. I will, without promising gladly refer her to assist any other home purchaser in the future. Amy’s professional ability and friendliness is the best. Thank you, Harry and Karena Green

    Honestly, everything was so easy and understandable. Amy did an incredible job explaining every step and was so patient with us (first-time home buyers). She has really strong communication skills and made everything easy to understand.
