I am so excited to be a part of the Ruoff Mortgage family! As a Senior Loan Officer at our West Chester branch, I bring over 25 years of mortgage lending experience and expertise. The vast mortgage experience and knowledge within this company cannot be topped. Being a member of this team has given me the tools, guidance and wisdom to be able to promise my customers and clients, without hesitation that we will deliver the best level of service and product that is available.

Not only am I committed to my clients, but I am also committed to my real estate agents and builders. I know from personal experience the important role a lender plays for a Real Estate Agent or Builder- and their business. So, when you look for someone who understands Agents’ and Builders’ needs, call me first! I understand that a knowledgeable, timely and honest response is critical. Allow me to be your Personal Loan Originator and Ruoff Mortgage, your preferred lender.

I am a native of the Greater Cincinnati area and have been in the mortgage industry for 25 years. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from St. Francis University in Fort Wayne, Indiana, which coincidentally is where I began my mortgage career and is also the location of the home office of Ruoff Mortgage. I am licensed Mortgage Professional in the State of Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan and Indiana. I have extensive experience working with First Time Home Buyers and New Construction clients. I have been a member of Cincinnati Area Board of Realtors and Butler-Warren Board of Realtors.

Helping people make quality decisions comes naturally to me. Your concerns in handling the details of an important transaction will be addressed professionally and with sensitivity to your personal, specific needs. I handle each mortgage loan as if it were my own. I believe that a person’s attitude affects everything they do. My attitude is that personal attention, hard work, enthusiasm and commitment to quality makes a person successful. I apply this to everything I do. You can trust me to personally take care of your mortgage financing needs. I invite you to experience the difference at Ruoff Mortgage and I look forward to the opportunity to earn your business!

  • Ruoff Mortgage company and our rep Sheri Watkins did absolutely wonderful, and overall I would say A+ service along with A+ communication. Everything was seamless in every phase of the home buying process from pre-approval, inspection, closing costs, applications, then finally closing/signing. I really appreciated Sheri's attention to detail, swift communication any hour of the day, along with her upbeat and friendly nature. Lastly, the technology and portal Ruoff uses were very easy to use and it helped keep everything in check from our point of view.

    Anthony H, happy client
  • Sheri is absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond, reassuring us that all would work out the best way possible. Throughout the "ups and downs" of the home selling and buying process, Sheri routinely checked in, asked us if we had questions, offered suggestions, and searched for what worked best for us in the given situation. I highly suggest Sheri, and Ruoff, to any family looking to move... She genuinely cares!

    Kevin T, happy client
  • I was a first-time buyer, really had no idea what the process was or if even possible for me. Sheri was recommended to me and she walked me through every step with patience and grace. I was stressing and struggling with the process and thankfully Sheri was there with all the answers. She worked so hard for me between the start of the process to closing. Incredible job, I will most definitely recommend Sheri in the future.

    Christyne S, happy client
  • Sheri was fantastic! I felt comfortable working with her from the get-go, and she really took the time to make sure I understood every step of the process. Would recommend her to anyone!

    Amy S, happy client
  • I was pleasantly surprised that the entire process from beginning to end was smooth and streamlined. The loan process was stress free!

    Kellie K, happy client
  • Sheri was amazing. As a first time homebuyer I had many many questions. She was available to me at anytime; calls, texts, emails. I would have been lost without her expertise and advice. She?s an asset to your team, and I?m thankful she was there to help me.

    Lydia S, happy client
  • Sheri’s attention to detail, hard work, enthusiasm and a real understanding of the mortgage lending business made my experience amazing. She answered all my questions, late nights early mornings, and weekends even. She closed our loan in less than a month and did everything she could to get me the very best and discussed all the options with me along the way. Sheri’s knowledge cannot be rivaled, and her guidance was invaluable.

    Lydia S, happy client
  • Sheri was great to work with. We have worked with her twice now and it has been great both times. She made the process as seamless as possible. I would recommend Ruoff and Sheri to friends and family.
