I will work hard to help you achieve your homeownership goals.
I will work hard to help you achieve your homeownership goals.
As a Senior Loan Officer at Ruoff Mortgage, I've been guiding clients through home purchases and refinancing since 2012. Over the course of my career, I've developed a straightforward, honest methodology that prioritizes client understanding and personalized financial solutions. My commitment goes beyond processing loans—I view each mortgage as a unique pathway to someone's dreams. By providing transparent guidance and genuine empathy, I help clients navigate the complexities of home financing with confidence. My team and I are dedicated to creating a seamless experience that empowers borrowers to make informed decisions about their financial future.
When I'm not helping clients, my world revolves around my three sons: my eldest son, who proudly served in the United States Marine Corps and is now preparing to attend the University of Kentucky; my middle son, who graduated from high school last year and is now working and coaching a middle school basketball team; and my youngest, a 2nd grader who is passionate about dinosaurs and aspires to become a paleontologist. In my rare moments of free time, I enjoy reading, listening to podcasts, and crocheting.
I would love to help you achieve your homeownership dreams and look forward to walking alongside you on your mortgage journey. Let's turn your homeownership dreams into reality.

Ellen took excellent care of us throughout our entire process. She is wonderful to work with. Ellen and our realtor Alexa worked tirelessly and what seemed like a lot of late hours to make this process happen for us. We greatly appreciate it and we are very happy.

What made my experience excellent was Ellen Vance. She is just so wonderful. This was my 1st experience buying a home. Ellen was very knowledgeable, she responded to any question or concerns I had very quickly. She was there for me no matter the time or day. U could just feel how genuine she was and that she really did care. I was very blessed to have her as my loan officer. If I know anyone buying a home, I will always suggest they choose Ellen, she is awesome, & just so sweet! My entire experience with Ruoff was excellent.
