MY TESTIMONIALS

Ruth is exceptional when it comes to everything real estate. She was very professional, always available to answer any and all questions and really went the extra mile for us. She was extremely thorough and explained everything to us like it was the first time she was doing it. Her knowledge of the market was invaluable. She always looked out for our best interest. We had a very quick sale and escrow and navigated things for us beautifully. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an agent who is looking to buy or sell.

Name: Cheryl & Joe Stark
"We have been fortunate to have Ruth helping us to find our new house, and to sell our existing one. Ruth’s knowledge of, and deep experience in, the real estate market was invaluable in both transactions. Ruth paid utmost attention to our needs, made herself available any time throughout the process, assisted with all negotiations and inspections, and really represented us in the best imaginable way. Above all, Ruth is very very patient, and she was always there for us in the complicated process and during the uncertain market times. Last but not least, Ruth has an incredible work ethics, she is reliable and honest, we trusted her with all our real estate affairs, and when time comes, we will call on her again with any real estate projects we may have."

Name: Vanessa & Vasily Belozeroff
Ruth has a highly sophisticated understanding of the Real Estate market in our area. She explained every piece of paper (or DocuSign) patiently and thoroughly. Our worries and concerns became Ruth's as well. Our home was photographed to show its visual strengths. We listed our home and in less than twenty four hours, we had an offer. She walked us through all the stresses and bumps with expert explanations all the way. If you are considering purchasing or selling a home, there is no one we would recommend more highly than Ruth Rose

Name: Sue & Ed Viselman
Ruth is an experienced professional. Her knowledge of the entire start-to-finish process made things easy for us. We never had to worry that something important might fall through the cracks. Her status and to-do communications to us were thorough and timely. Her advice when any difficult decisions arose was right on the money. We unquestionably give Ruth a 5-star recommendation to anyone who needs a real estate pro to buy or sell a home.

Name: Sara & Bill Jackson
This is the second time we’ve worked with Ruth Rose, the first time as a buyer and now, thirteen years later, as a seller, and there is no one I could recommend more whether you’re buying or selling your house/condo. We first met Ruth in 2009 when we purchased our home. Ruth was representing both buyer and seller, and she couldn’t have been more forthright, honest, and calming as we went through the process. Not only did she listen to our needs, but she really spent time deciphering what we really wanted and what was important to us; we really felt that Ruth didn’t just want us to sell us a house but to find the perfect home. It was, for thirteen years, but with our kids out of the house, it was time to sell, and Ruth was the only phone call we made. From the first walkthrough, to staging, to photographs, to brochures, to our first open house, to offers, and through escrow, Ruth patiently took us through the process, always optimistic, always reassuring, and always available to explain the process. Even when bumps happened, we always knew Ruth had it handled. Buying and selling homes is never easy (this was our third), but it’s not hyperbole to state that we’d never use anyone else again. We seriously couldn’t have been happier.

Name: Michael & Nancy Berns
"Ruth is awesome! She helped us with a recent home purchase and it was amazing how on top of things she was. I don't think we would have gotten this home without Ruth's communication with the listing agent and keeping on negotiations. The LA market is insane when trying to buy a single family home, but as big of an emotional rollercoaster as it is, Ruth helped keep us level headed and guided us towards our ultimate goal. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an agent!"

Name: Sharon M & Matt S
"Ruth is amazing! She helped us sell our condo in literally 4 days. I was very surprised by how quickly and easy the whole transaction went. The best part about Ruth is that she always keeps you informed at every step of the way. This was my first time selling a property, so I didn't know what to expect, but Ruth was great about guiding us through the process. She is knowledgeable, incredibly honest, and always had our best interests in mind. I would 100% recommend her to anyone! Thanks Ruth!"

Name: Sharon M.& Matt S.
We have known Ruth Rose for several years and always said that if we ever sold a home, we would want Ruth to handle the transaction. Why? Ruth is a consummate professional with over 40 years of experience.
Selling a home can be a daunting task. Fortunately, we had Ruth who guided us effortlessly through the process. She provided excellent advice in preparing the home for the sale. Ruth clarified the many proposals and associated paperwork, allowing us to come to the best decision as sellers. She was available every step of the way, offering experienced advice for our successful home sale. Ruth has the experience and know-how to get the best possible outcome. We highly recommend Ruth Rose to be your realtor. Ruth is a delight to work with and has a great well-deserved reputation in our area. We are so glad she was our partner in the sale of our house.

Name: Lorne & Caryl L.
Thanks to Ruth Rose, I live in my dream home. And that's no small feat: Out of 36 offers, Ruth was THE reason I was selected and became a first-time home owner. Everyone knows the housing market is insane and feels inaccessible -- Ruth's expertise helped me succeed in navigating it. Working with Ruth was hassle-free and fun. She's a wonderful, sharp-minded realtor, who is so generous with her time. She showed me many listings, and she was beyond patient with my questions. She made me feel supported and was genuinely caring about my house search. She didn't overwhelm me with irrelevant listings, but suggested ones that actually were homes I was interested in. Once I was set on placing my offer, Ruth collaborated professionally with the selling agent (the three of us even had lunch after closing, to celebrate), orchestrated all inspections, and helped guide me through the complicated loan process. Buying a home doesn't have to be daunting, or a pain. With Ruth it was a pleasure. I couldn't imagine working with any other realtor, and I have already recommended many friends to work with her!

Name: Jon Y
"Ruth has been extremely helpful during our purchase of this home. We purchased it as a rental property, and she continues to help us with tenants and the rental process. She continues to help out throughout all the years with any questions or issues that arise. I highly recommend Ruth for your real estate transactions."

Name: Brian S.
"WOW! I’m so excited to have been recommended to and worked with Ruth to find our forever home!! She was so patient, honest and committed in helping us secure our wonderful home. We are forever grateful to her and highly recommend her to any buyers or sellers that are looking for a realtor that has integrity and compassion."

Name: Caren & Brian D.
My husband and I bought several houses with Ruth and it was a pleasure dealing with her. There is no realtor more honest, professional, knowledgeable, than Ruth. We have dealt with plenty, since we have rentals and found Ruth to be someone we would recommend 100%.

Name: Miriam Gluzer
"If I could give the honest amount of stars for Ruth, it would be a whole box of New Years confetti, or a galaxy of multiple solar systems. Ruth was our realtor up until we closed escrow on our home yesterday, and we will actually miss our phone calls, meetings, and open house visits with Ruth because she is so warm, knowledgable, and professional. We are happy to have a house, but sad we won't work with her in this capacity anymore! To begin, I teach on the westside and had a very hard time conceptualizing leaving my friends and comfort zone to live in the valley. Ruth was incredibly understanding of my hesitancy and was honest with me about homes that would be too far of a commute for me, and were not worth seeing. She was ALWAYS right. Ruth was so patient with us, and always went out of her way to make us feel like her only clients, even though we knew she was busy with other clients and her own life. She made time for us not just to walk through homes with us, but also took the time to ask questions we wouldn't think to ask (is that a working fire place? Is this up to code? Is that permitted?) and guided us gently, but firmly to get the best possible house for us at the best possible cost. In fact, we wouldn't have our home at all if it weren't for Ruth. Our sellers had an offer 50K more than our offer, but Ruth was persistent, communicative, and in the end, the sellers chose us because of Ruth's communicative and easy going nature. Ruth balances her wisdom with her knowledge, and knows everything there is to know about real estate. I was concerned that being new to the market I would be duped or confused, but Ruth explained everything to me in language I could understand, and never made me feel like my questions were excessive or dumb (even when they were). The market in Los Angeles right now is bonkers, and Ruth helped us put an offer in that matched the appraisal price identically. We were blown away, as our own friends and family have overpaid for their homes by enormous amounts. When we got our house, Ruth celebrated with us, and felt our joy as her own. She is an amazing business woman, but an even more incredible human being and we just cannot recommend her enough. You will have the most wonderful experience and find your PERFECT home with Ruth Rose!"

Name: Andie Shore
"Ruth is hands down the best realtor I’ve worked with. Ruth is so knowledgeable and timely and makes sure everything stays on track. Above all, she has a heart of gold and is one of the most generous and kind people I know. You can’t go wrong with Ruth!"

Name: Michael D Mccrary
I’m grateful every day for both the timing and the location. Whenever I walk the neighborhood, I’m reminded of how fortunate we are to have the plan we have, in this specific location (open space next door, street with no outlet, far from even a hint of any sound), and that you found us a home that was virtually frozen for 30 years—allowing us to secure it for a good price and then turn it into what we wanted.

Name: J & J Terrell
Fantastic realtor! friendly, smart, patient, skilled and talented. Couldn't ask for better. Ruth understood our desires and helped us get the house we wanted. 10/10.

Name: Rod Carmon
Ruth is an absolute joy to work with! She helped us buy a home in an incredibly tough buyers’ market, and kept us optimistic and encouraged the whole time. Her knowledge and experience was evident from the second we met her, and her kindness and attention to detail were a welcomed bonus. She worked hard for us, was always available if we had questions, and always kept our best interests first. We highly, highly recommend her!

Name: Jeremy & Maggie Hayward
We decided to work with Ruth Rose to sell our home and we could not be happier with our decision. We received multiple offers the first day the house was on the market thanks to Ruth’s great work. Ruth had a wonderful photographer who took amazing pictures that really showcased our home. We had a short escrow and Ruth was on top of every detail to get to closing in a timely manner. She was always available and always responsive to any questions we had. She is the ultimate professional and made this the best experience for my wife and I.

Name: Craig Resnick
Wow.. what can I say. Ruth is simply awesome!! She recently helped us sell our home of 21 years. She put it on the market and sold it in 6 days with multiple offers and sold for over asking price. She is very professional and knowledgeable about the market. She advocated for us every step of the way, always kept us informed from negotiations to closing. She made this process so easy. Ruth is someone you can trust and we highly recommend her for all of your real estate needs.

Name: Mary & Scott Rosen
Ruth helped us navigate buying a house that had 15+ offers. She worked all hours of the day and on the weekend to help us put an offer in and purchase this property. She is very savvy and supportive; it's easy to see that she has A LOT of experience. When we went through physical inspections, she was able to offer a lot of advice and expertise as well as provide quality people who could do repairs and come out for estimates. Ruth mobilizes very quickly and I would highly recommend her!

Name: Megan Markevich and Taylor Kendall
We thought we had all the tools we needed online for my wife and I to find our first home ourselves. We did so unsuccessfully for so long, it’s embarrassing. Then we met Ruth at an open house. She happened to be a friend of a friend of my parents so we got to talking. We ended up using her as our agent and the next thing we knew we were in escrow on the exact house we wanted. I can honestly say we would not be homeowners right now if it was not for Ruth. She pushed us in just the right way to get us moving and went above and beyond to make sure we closed. Her guidance through an intimidating process was invaluable. I will definitely refer over any friends or family looking in the area. Thanks Ruth!

Name: Natalie and David
Ruth is a complete pleasure to work with—as an advocate, as an advisor, and as a protector. She is keenly focused on every detail and is always available to discuss any situation that arises. This is the second real estate transaction where Ruth has played an integral role in the ultimate success for us. The first time was in the purchase of a new home, and most recently as sellers of a previous home. In both cases, Ruth provided sound guidance, valuable information, and very kind and patient counsel.

Name: Joey Terrill
Ruth Rose epitomizes what a professional agent represents. Ruth’s years of experience help sell our home during the pandemic in record time. She was able to navigate constantly changing rules and regulations, while staying calm and reassuring. When you list your home with Ruth, you receive personal attention from how to stage your home, to producing amazing brochures, taking care of escrow problems, and coordinating all aspects of getting your home closed. Although Ruth had many other clients and listings while our home was on the market, her close attention to detail and communication with us made it feel as if we were her only client. We highly recommend Ruth Rose for all your real estate needs.

Name: David and Harriet
Ruth is simply the best! She sold my mom's home in 3 days. This is the third time Ruth has represented me in a sale or purchase of a home. She is knowledgeable about the market and negotiated a fair price on each home for which she has represented me. She deals fairly with other agents and I can tell that there are no negative dealings or talk. This is so very helpful in stressful situations such as buying or selling a home that your family has loved and now must sell. I highly recommend Ruth Rose.

Name: Cindy Lokitz
I love Ruth, she has not only bought and sold homes for my girl friend , but has now found me Tenants twice! She has great instincts and will always go to her for my real estate needs! Thx again Ruth.

Name: Glenn Coopersmith
We have worked with Ruth on more than one transaction and each time she has been terrific!! She is very knowledgeable in both real estate as well as the local market. She is also well known in the community by fellow brokers, which helps set her apart and adds to her negotiation skills. Ruth also has referred us local contacts for miscellaneous needs such as movers, painters and other service folk. Her vast experience has made her our trusted go-to. We highly recommend her!

Name: Ken & Hebah Ley
We've just completed a new home purchase with Ruth Rose and the experience was nothing short of perfect. Ruth advocated for us every step of the way, she kept us completely informed from negotiation to closing, and she was attentive to every detail throughout the process. She provided top-quality referrals for multiple home inspections and we felt protected by her vigilance throughout the buying process. Even after the close of escrow, she continued to provide help with some last-minute details on the new home. She is someone who I trust, and I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again on another home purchase.

Name: Joey Terrill
We highly recommend working with Ruth to buy or sell your home.
We originally purchased our home with her, and most recently sold our place with her help. She has years of experience and is knowledgeable about the local market, the process (if you are new to the area or if you are a new buyer or seller). If you are a seller, she will help you price your house to get multiple offers; if you are a buyer, she will provide expert advice on how to get the place you want. She is always on call, communicative, and ethical - both sides of the table benefit from her due diligence. Ruth also has great recommendations for painters and landscapers.

Name: Shan Xing & Sean Morgan
Ruth, you are AMAZING! Ruth helped with the purchase of my property in 2017. She just recently helped with the sale in July of 2019 for above asking price. Throughout the entire process, Ruth keeps in contact. You is truly a Rockstar! I highly recommend Ruth if you are in the market to purchase or selling your property.

Name: Jason Rider

Name: Eric & Linda Estrin
Ruth Rose was a pleasure to have as our real estate agent. Her honesty, professionalism, expertise, hard work, and positivity are just an example of some of her wonderful qualities. She was attentive to details and extremely perceptive as to what our needs were as a seller. Ruth’s communication was impeccable. She kept us informed, and any questions we had were answered quickly and efficiently. Ruth worked hard for us, and we would highly recommend her without a doubt. We are thankful for the time and effort she spent with us. We feel fortunate to have had Ruth as our realtor! She is the best!!!

Name: - Ken and Kim Christensen
"I have lost count on how many house purchases and sales I have completed with Ruth but this last one was the sale of my home. I was concerned the house was out-dated and the color of the granite and cabinets would prevent me from getting a good price in this market. I also had no choice but to list the home the first week of December (not the best time for a sale). Ruth walked through the house and recommended a stager to me. Once the stager was done, my home was barely recognizable. It was transformed into a modern oasis! The listing hit the MLS and 6 hours later, Ruth called me with a full price offer! I couldn't have been more thrilled! She was able to convince the buyers to go through our loan broker who was able to close the deal within 30 days even with the holidays. Escrow closed 1 day early without a single hitch. I have been recommending Ruth to friends, family and coworkers for years. She truly is the best!"

Name: Lisa Evans
Ruth was a pleasure to work with and we are happy to recommend her. In addition to being very knowledgeable she was also extremely helpful in coordinating activity and meeting people at our house when we were unable to be there ourselves.

Name: Howard & Ellen Gillman
I have used Ruth prior to this last experience and returned to her because I was so impressed with her services. Ruth sets herself apart by offering extensive knowledge of the markets, service to her clients and her immediate responsiveness to everything that arises during a real estate transaction. Ruth continuously updates her clients, every couple of days, of any and all progress involving the buying or selling process. She immediately returns calls and is ever present to represent her clients ethically and tirelessly. I would recommend her to my family and friends knowing their experiences would go as seamlessly as mind did.

Name: Tom Spencer
Ruth helped us buy our dream home! We had a very complex situation that only a true professional like Ruth could have pulled off. We had to sell our current home with a home of choice provision, buy a home with a contingency of sale, close concurrently to make the loan work, all in under 45 days.

Name: Michael McCrary
Ruth is a gem. She represented both of us in the sale of our home and our buyer in the sale of their home and purchase of our home. A tricky situation handled professionally and smoothly. Happy clients all around. Her marketing and showing of our home was first class. Ruth was always available to answer questions, refer service professionals and follow up on all of the documents associated with the sale. We recommended Ruth to a friend who was looking for a home while we were in the middle of selling our home. They were thrilled with their experience and quickly found their "dream home". To top this Ruth is one of the kindest and nice people you will ever meet. We highly recommend Ruth for your real estate needs!

Name: Jeff & Wendy Goldstein
"We enjoyed working with Ruth and are happy to recommend her. We had moved to the area from the east coast and Ruth had the patience to show us the different neighborhoods while house hunting and what to look for/expect when buying a home in the area. She was honest and non-biased in providing the pros and cons to help with our decision on a home. Throughout the phases of making an offer and closing on a home, she kept abreast of issues regarding inspections and contractual agreements. Post closing, she followed up with us several times to ensure we had everything that we needed. She does her best to make sure that the house that you purchase is compatible to your needs, tastes, and budget."

Name: Sean Morgan & Shan Xing
Ruth is a best in class real estate agent who is very honest and responsive. She was a pleasure to work with and I referred her to my best friend who also had a great experience. On top of being highly responsive, knowledgeable and loyal, she is also very well connected with all the various vendors you may need as you go through the home buying process.

Name: David Hochman
Ruth is a phenomenal agent and easily the best real-estate expert I've worked with during my time buying and selling homes. Not only was she excellent in getting appointments to see properties, but she was exceptional during the escrow process. She was so on things that it made my life and my most recent transaction smooth and painless. She made excellent recommendations, set up appointments for inspections and repairs, and even followed up regularly with everyone from the escrow company to the lender. Basically, I just showed up for various things as she made all arrangements. But, the greatest testament to her excellence is that she continued to help me get things done even after she received her commission check. Not only is Ruth a great agent, she's an amazing human being. She is my real-estate professional for life!

Name: Jeff Biesman
"MY wife and I consider it a privilege to have had Ruth Rose as our Real estate agent handling the sale of our home. She was thorough, very helpful and made decisions which were always to our benefit. She was always available to answer questions and concerns. She even taught me how to use the computer when responding to various document e-mails. If any of our relatives or friends are looking to Sell or Buy a home, we will recommend Ruth. She is the BEST real estate agent."

Name: Al & Claire Wilen
Ruth Rose has successfully navigated our family through the sale of two homes and the purchase of another. Through no fault of hers or ours, none of the transactions were without bumps. But she skillfully steered the ship through all obstacles and we ended up with exactly what we wanted from each deal. Our only regret is that we couldn't take her back east with us to help us buy our current home. Her professionalism and cool head are unmatched and we give her our highest recommendation.

Name: Lisa and Joe Macha
"Ruth was able to sell our house for the asking price. She was a kind and considerate guide and negotiator. She was able to find a buyer that was in love with the house we so adored. Because we had lived in the house for nearly 30 years we had no experience in buying and selling a house. Ruth made up the difference. She stayed on top of every inspection and transaction. I would strongly suggest you have Ruth on your team . You can teach real estate skills, you can not teach kindness and empathy. This is a rare combination. She is indeed a Rose."

Name: Jeanne Cope
Working with Ruth has been a real pleasure. She was always there for myself and my wife throughout our listing and escrow. Ruth is extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of real estate and guided us through every step. She has been very responsive to our requests and always in a timely fashion. Ruth has been a cheerleader when things didn't look good during the process of selling our house. She follows through on her promises. She got us a full price offer on our house and sold our buyer's house within days. Ruth has been a delight to know and you can't go wrong with her as your agent. I would give her a 6 star rating if I could!

Name: Frank Littman
TERRIFIC, she's absolutely terrific! She is the one you want in your corner. We were lucky enough to work with Ruth as buyers and sellers. She helped us get into our dream house and sold our condo in 2 days. She's beyond responsive, reliable and knowledgeable. Her expertise coupled with her finesse and ease to work with really sets her apart! She's a good, genuine, honest person and we are so impressed with her - she really goes the extra mile! If I were a real estate agent myself; I'd still use Ruth:)!

Name: Bridgette & Antoni Hardonk
To sum up my experience in one word "AMAZING". Ruth not only goes the extra mile, she goes the extra extra mile. Ruth is the true definition of professional and has your best interest in mind throughout the home purchasing experience. Ruth, represented me in the purchase of a property in Agoura Hills. There is no other I would work with. If you want the best, you have found her.

Name: Sean Bennett
Wow! She did it again. This is our 4th real estate transaction with Ruth Rose. We keep coming back. Ruth is so professional and understanding of the stress a real estate transaction can have on a person and family. She is on top of the transaction from start to finish. We have the confidence that she will get our homes sold, purchased or rented. She works so hard and puts her all into every transaction. When I read the reviews I see that all her clients feel like we do.

Name: Karen & Ron Finkel
My wife and I have bought and sold many houses. Ruth Rose is, BY FAR, the best agent that we have ever had the pleasure to work with. Five stars are not enough to describe the level of service that Ruth provides in all of the categories above. When we work with Ruth, we feel completely comfortable that she has or backs in every aspect of the deal. We wouldn't recommend anyone else.

Name: Steve & Sharon Iker
Having to sell our parents home after their passing was a very emotional and stressful situation. Ruth made it easier with her calming and caring demeanor. She sold the house quickly, kept us informed of every step along the way and with her knowledge and professionalism closed the escrow in record time. Caring, calm, knowledgeable and professional , the combination that makes Ruth the successful agent that she is.

Name: Francesca Popick
It was an absolute pleasure meeting and working with Ruth. After going to countless open houses and meeting other agents Ruth was a breath of fresh air with her non aggressive demeanor and knowledge of the area and property we were looking at. We felt very comfortable having Ruth represent us as well as the sellers as she looked out for both of our interests. I highly recommend Ruth.

Name: Rani & Tiffany Sharone
It was a pleasure meeting and working with Ruth. We knew right away
that she was the one to make our deal happen. She helped us throughout the process of buying a house and also during escrow. Dealing with Ruth was like dealing with a lovely family member. She made this process very
seamless as she represented both the buyer and seller.

Name: Sally & Sami Sharone

Name: Katy Redell
Ruth is the most incredible realtor!!! She helped us to sell our home within days of listing, and then to find our new house! She orchestrated every negotiation and detail with incredible precision and made it easy and stress free for us. We are so thrilled to be in our dream home and it's all thanks to her knowledge, years of experience and all of the hard work she put in on our behalf!

Name: Rachel & Jake Hundley
We had a very positive experience working with Ruth. We were looking to buy in two areas 35 miles apart so we were working with realtors in both locations. We were not sure where we would end up but Ruth was still incredibly responsive and helpful given this situation. She was very attentive but not pushy which to us was a real plus. Ultimately, we ended up working with Ruth to buy a home. She was on top of everything through closing and very knowledgeable in all aspects of the homebuying process.

Name: Laurel & Mark Rouse
We wouldn't be in the house we wanted if it wasn't for Ruth's skill to followup. Our house was in Pending status with another buyer and it fell out of escrow. Ruth made sure that we were first in line to make an offer. Ruth helped us every step of the way by guiding us, answering all our questions and having the resources to make sure we closed escrow on time. Ruth also helped us post close by referring us to a locksmith to rekey our new home, an affordable moving company and a company that can add remote features to our garage. We highly recommend Ruth when purchasing your new home. She is a true professional at what she does. - H&K

Name: Ken & Hebah Ley
We are repeat clients several times over and have recommended Ruth to many friends. We value her sense of judgment which comes from long experience in the local market. She is also great to work with.

I really helped to keep us calm.

Name: Jason and Lissette R
Ruth was a pleasure to work with. The process couldn't have gone any better as our house was rented in just over a week to the perfect tenant. Never having been a landlord, Ruth held our hand through the process and still continues to remain in touch for extra support and guidance. We look forward to working with her again in the future.

Name: Danny & Beth Jasper
Ruth Rocks! Before we listed our home we had interviewed three other realtors in our area. We took a chance on Ruth and we are so glad that we did! She has many years (35 ) in the business and is knowledgeable in every aspect of the process. I could not imagine going through this process without her. If you are thinking about listing your home she is a sure thing! We highly recommend Ruth!

Name: Bob and Barbara Dunn
Ruth Rose is a true pro who's closely well connected in the Oak Park area and who really knows how to win you a house in multiple offers. We were referred to Ruth when we found a house online that we wantrf to see and make an offer on. Best referral yet. We met her the next day at our showing and made an offer that night. She was professional, honest, and looked into every aspect of the house we wanted. Unfortunately, we lost that house to a higher down payment after not taking Ruth's advice because we thought we knew better which was our foolish mistake. However, fortunately for us, this allowed us additional time to work with Ruth (and learn from Ruth), and we just closed an incredible deal on our forever house which we were awarded against 4 other offers. Not being local to the area, we're from LA, she taught us all about the neighborhoods, tracts, values, prestige, rules and regs, even good places to dine. She is full of resources. Once in escrow, Ruth negotiated like a pro, and told us everything we'd need to do to achieve our goal (and we listened). She wasn't afraid to tell us what we needed to hear even if it wasn't what we wanted to hear. Our escrow was unexpectedly long, and at times we got frustrated, but she stayed in the deal with us by checking in with escrow every other day and she tirelessly fought for our best interest - ultimately saving us thousands. Day to day dealings with Ruth are kind, professional, and to the point. She ALWAYS answered her phone which made working with her so easy, and her back and forth communication between us and all the other parties was excellent. She's always one step ahead of the game. We felt she really protected our best interest. She went above and beyond to accommodate showings and scheduling of inspections. When we were still house shopping, I'd call her in the morning when I'd see a new listing pop up online, and several times she'd schedule to get me in to see it by lunch time. One time, the house wasn't even showing for a few days and Ruth got me 2 days early because she knows EVERYONE in the area. Ruth gets listings before they post. I met a co worker from the area the other day and when we realized we had Oak Park in common, he also knew Ruth. She had just sold his house with multiple offers before even listing it. She's that good. Ruth's an operator. As a business person myself, I have tremendous respect for Ruth. Her work ethic is superior! She will land you the right house for you.

Name: Lindsey & Sean Casey
Hi Ruth. Thanks again for taking time to speak with me yesterday on the phone. The fact that you have been with one company for so long is a badge of honor, and coupled with your outstanding production and stellar reputation, makes you a highly sought after real estate professional for every company. I think we would be the ideal option for you if you ever decided to explore.

Name: Competitor
Ruth has recently represented us in the sale of our rental house in Oak Park.

I am a real estate agent and even I hired Ruth Rose to sell my house! I wanted the best price, a smooth & fast transaction so I hired the best. I know from experience that selling a home is not just pretty pictures and puffed up prose posted on the internet. Getting the offer is only half of it. When buyers & sellers are both happy with the transaction, you know it’s a win win situation. What else could we ask for? We sold at asking price in one week and had our check in a month. If that doesn't say great real estate agent, I don't know what does!. Ruth is the best "Real Estate Agent-Stager-Therapist-Financial Advisor-Marketing Director". She was there for us no matter how small or large our concern. Thanks to Ruth we were able to sell quickly without a hitch. That's why one hires a Realtor but we got so much more!"

If you want a true 'pro" at the real estate game, I recommend Ruth Rose...She is always on-point and knows the market...Knowing current values and helping to price the property is key to the sale.

Ruth Rose represented us in the sale of our home in Morrison Sutton Valley, Oak Park. She made the process seamless, and painless. She was diligent, professional, and followed through on all aspects of the transaction. She was always there for us during the entire process, from taking the listing, to selling it quickly ,getting us top dollar, to closing. Her dedication, and passion to her profession is evident in the way she conducts her business. Weâ€™d highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent Real Estate Agent that wants to buy or sell a home.

Name: Nate & Mona Komet
We were referred to Ruth Rose from a personal friend who was in real estate for over 25 years and used her for the sale of her personal residence when she was no longer in the business. We went to her with a unique piece of property that we had for sale for quite a long time with another realtor without any success. She immediately identified what she saw as the problem and said it was the marketing and presentation of the property. We hired her and followed her recommendations on presentation and delivery. We ended up with multiple offers on the first weekend of our open house. We are now ready to close escrow within the next 3 weeks all because of her real estate experience and expertise.

Name: Ken & Phyllis Tierstein
I had worked with Ruth Rose for the past three years on the marketing our short sale in Agoura Hills. This was a particularly complicated transaction as the bank was uncooperative during the process. Because of this, the sale process was delayed and did not close for three years. During this time Ruth stayed the course with broker openings and subsequent showings to prospective buyers. She did an excellent job of staying on top of the situation at all times bringing in offers at market value. Eventually when the loan was sold to another bank we were able, with Ruth's assistance, to convince the bank to take an "all cash offer" which reflected the market value of the property. Ruth worked with the stringent deadlines of the bank and followed through with the buyers to close in a timely manner. We are most appreciate to Ruth for helping us through this difficult process. She was always professional, courteous and helpful.

It is a pleasure and honor to write a testimonial for Ruth Rose of White House Realtors. Ruth sold our home in Oak Park. It was a delight working with her. Ruth answered all our questions about the numerous documents we were required to sign.
When the deal is done, many agents move onto the next deal. Ruth continues to “check in,” update you on current forms to complete, and inform you of all your responsibilities. Ruth is conscientious, dedicated and very attentive to detail. She dots her “i’s” and crosses her “t’s.”
Ruth Rose is the best in the business.

We knew we were in for a very trying time. If it wasn't for Ruth Rose, it could have been even harder.
Our father had just passed and our Mother needed to be with family. We had three houses we needed to sell
(each was sold in less than thirty days, THANKS to Ruth) and we needed to buy a single story house, which in
itself is hard to find. Ruth found a beautiful one for us, which fit our needs perfectly. Ruth helped us
through this very trying time. Her hard work, excellent communication skills and professionalism is amazing.
We know we kept her very busy with calls and questions, and she was always willing to accommodate.Our last home closed today and Ruth has our respect and appreciation for her outstanding service and her friendship. We highly recommend Ruth Rose to anyone who wants a truly professional Real Estate agent.

We recently sold our home, and purchased a new house through Ruth Rose. Ruth was calm and maneuvered a sale of our home shortly after our purchase. We spoke to her every day about things we could do: additional staging steps for the specific rooms, adjusting the lighting, modifying the price, holding open houses, etc. We got multiple offers, we sold, we are moving. Hallelujah. We owe it the professionalism, flexibility, poise, and determination of Ruth Rose. Using the parlance of our kids, Ruth is “Awesome.” Eva Larson and Michael Green

I always knew that one day I would use Ruth Rose as my realtor, and now that the day has come, I couldn't be happier! We've known each other since we were kids, so when I saw her become a specialist in the field, and in the neighborhood I've lived in for 35 years, using Ruth was a very easy decision to make in choosing someone to represent my interests as I sold my home. Exhibiting the same determination and drive I remember from grade school, she drew up a plan, explained it to me thoroughly, and then flawlessly executed; a true "A" for effort! She knew just how to generate the excitement necessary to generate multiple bids well above the initial asking price. While I found the tremendous interest overwhelming, she calmly guided me to the right choices for me and my family.In short; I could not endorse a realty agent any more enthusiastically than I do Ruth Rose; truly a professional that dominates!

“Ruth Rose is a wonderful person and an exceptional realtor--whether you’re buying or selling a property. Ruth exceeded all of our expectations in both helping us to sell our home and then purchase a new one, so it’s no wonder she has consistently been a top sales agent since 1980. We truly appreciate Ruth’s knowledge, accessibility, professionalism, diligence, and 24/7 commitment to her clients. We enthusiastically recommend Ruth Rose to anyone who is considering buying or selling a home and know you’ll be grateful to have Ruth working on your behalf from start to finish!”

Ruth Rose has represented our interests when buying and selling our home. She is extremely professional and has excellent follow through. Her knowledge of the industry, neighborhoods, communities and her commitment to her clients is outstanding and instrumental to timely closings.

Through both buying and selling, we built a lasting relationship based on respect and trust with Ruth.

She was involved in every part of the transaction so that nothing fell through the cracks. She was truly wonderful to work with!!"
Elise and Richard Aries

Name: Elise & Richard Aries
I have worked with Ruth for over 10 years. I would not ever consider using anyone else. This last purchase was by far the most difficult we have ever done together. The market is so tight, there was little to look at in the price range but Ruth continued to show me everything that came up. In the past, I would tell her the property I was interested in, she would show it to me and I would buy it. This was not the case. She kindly and patiently showed me many, many properties until we found “the right one.” It truly was the right one, we love our new home and Ruth managed to get it an incredible price.

Getting here was not as easy. We were unlucky because the listing agent is known to be “difficult.” That is an understatement. It is a miracle Ruth was able to get the deal closed at all. Throughout the entire transaction, Ruth stayed tenacious and focused on the closing. She was left to do the work of both sides and yet kept on going and got it done! Even though there were moments, we both wanted to walk away, she stayed focused and worked through all of the curve balls the agent threw.
I am so grateful to Ruth for all she has done. She has truly given my family a fresh start in an amazing home!

We would like to recommend the realty expertise of Ruth Rose. We were fortunate to have chosen Ruth to help sell our Oak Park home in April 2011.
Immediately upon signing the listing, Ruth sprang into action. Because of her marketing skills, potential buyers were brought to our house almost daily. She was aggressive without being pushy and showed remarkable attention to every detail. Ruth is a great negotiator and managed to sell our house in a very tricky market. She patiently walked us thru all the paperwork and made us comfortable with the entire process. It was evident that she had many years of experience in her field!
We were so happy with her guidance that we asked her to help find and purchase our next house. Because of her negotiating skills, we were able to purchase our new home at a very competitive price. In this day and age, it is refreshing to find someone who is so knowledgeable in her field and acts in such a professional manner.
We have recommended Ruth to our daughter and her husband to help them find a home near in the Conejo Valley. We know they will be in good hands!

Dear Ruth,
As we've been enjoying our new home, we came to the realization that this purchase would not have been possible without you. You went above and beyond in every step of our house hunt. Your thorough tour of the Agoura Hills/Oak Park/Westlake Village areas at the start of our house hunt was invaluable to us in narrowing down our search. You devoted hours to us on many weekends and would meet us at a new listing at a moment's notice. We know you were working with other clients at the same time, yet you somehow made us feel like you were solely working with us. We greatly appreciate your intimate knowledge of the various neighborhoods and your experience in dealing with all kinds of sellers and agents. As our purchase transaction got increasingly complicated, you were tenacious in staying on top of all of the various parties and pursuing creative options to get the deal done. We truly believe that the transaction would have fallen apart if we were represented by most other agents. In a challenging real estate market, your diligence, experience, and professionalism make all the difference. We wholeheartedly recommend your services and we can't thank you enough for everything you've done for our family.
Warmest regards,

My husband and I are very pleased to write this letter of recommendation for you. Prior to meeting you, we had our house in Oak Park listed for nine months with a different realtor during which time, we never received even one worthwhile offer. I discussed this problem with our Loan Officer and he suggested we give you call since you not only lived in Oak Park but have been selling homes in that area for a very long time and knew the market very well. During our first meeting, I found you very professional, informative and realistic in your approach and suggestions. So, we ended our contract with the previous realtor and signed with you. Much to our surprise, our house was in escrow in the first week you listed; as a matter of fact, we were in disbelief we had sold it until you actually told us “this is it! Escrow is closed.” Although there was a great deal of paperwork, you made the process pretty painless; you were always available (via phone and/or email) and willing to answer all our questions and allay our fears and concerns. Thank you so much, Ruth!

Ruth was always there for us, took the time to really learn all that we had done for the house and property, and stayed on top of the situation with tireless energy. She produced many showings, brought us the eventual buyers, and saw us through a difficult negotiation process. Tenacity, thy name is Ruth. We would absolutely hire her again."

Dear Ruth:
I want to sincerely thank you for your assistance during these past several months. Your professionalism and attentiveness to each step throughout the process was much appreciated. Your attention to the details always gave me confidence as to when, where and how we were proceeding. From the beginning when all I needed was a quick estimate as to the value of the property, you were there. When it came time to list the property, you guided us on preparing the unit for sale and establishing a realistic price when there really were not any comparable sales in recent months. As part of the services you did for us, you were in regular contact with the management company of the homeowners association and I believe those efforts were instrumental in completing the loan process for the buyer and keeping us in good standing with them. Your experience with and recommendation as to escrow company, title company, and loan broker also kept the process moving in a timely manner. This sale was complicated by the fact that it was a trustee sale and we were constantly concerned as to meeting our fiduciary responsibilities as trustees. You understood this and had no issues with the concept. Every step and function along the process was monitored by you. Most important, I never had to chase you down. If you were not immediately available by telephone, you never failed to return my telephone calls in a reasonable fashion. The use of emails also helped with communication. My emails to you were promptly returned. As a professinal myself, I truly appreciated this level of service. Again, I want to thank you. You definitely helped to ease the stress during this stressful period of time.
Very truly yours,

Dear Ruth:
I am very pleased to offer this letter of recommendation of your professional services in connection with residential property in the Conejo Valley. The recent closing of our escrow on Isabella Court in Agoura Hills represented, without question, the smoothest real estate transaction in which I have ever been engaged. Your approach to listing and selling the house demonstrated your knowledge of the overall market and the specific neighborhood involved. You also offered very good advice about what pre-sale efforts should be made to make the house more appealing to prospective buyers. As well, your bank of referrals, from painters, to plumbers to repair people, proved invaluable as we moved to make the house market-ready. Thank you once again for making the sale of the house, almost always a challenging situation, as seamless and uneventful as possible. When those few issues about the escrow closing arose, you handled everything timely and successfully for us. In short, you are the consummate real estate professional whose substantial experience in the field served us well.

Dear Ruth:
I am writing to thank you for your outstanding work in the sale of my grandmother's home. As you know, we had tried to sell the home for over a year when a good friend told me I needed to speak with you. And lucky for us! You had the listing for just over 30 days, and we were in escrow. You immediately saw the home's potential and knew how to market it which made all the difference. My family is very grateful to you for helping us sell the home. You are a pleasure to work with and we look forward to working with you on other properties.
Warm Regards,

Dear Ruth:
All too often when someone goes that extra mile for you, it seems to be forgotten or unnoticed. We want to make sure that this isn't the case with you.
My wife and I have been searching for our dream house for over two years. When we finally found it, (as you can imagine) we were in a big rush to move in. With your help, we closed escrow in 27 days! Even in this market, that's pretty quick! You not only helped us to get the very best deal, but gave us the name of the bank that we ended up using for our loan. We were so pleased with the service we recieved, that we told one of our friends of our experience; shortly thereafter they listed their house with you. In closing we would like to add what we expected to be as pleasant as root canal turned out to be a wonderful experience, thanks to mostly your efforts!

We are pleased to recommend Ruth Rose to anyone seeking a top-notch real estate agent. Our family relocated to this area from the East Coast, and we had to find a house in a very unfamiliar real estate market within just a few days. Ruth educated us about the market, showed us a sampling of what was available in different price ranges, and helped us to quickly narrow down what we were looking for. She listened carefully to our priorities, even as they changed during the course of our search, and was very responsive to them. In several long days of intensive house-hunting, she showed us pre-screened properties and helped us to evaluate which of the homes would best meet our needs.

She was also a tough and effective negotiator when it came time to close the sale, saving us thousands of dollars. Ruth worked hard on our behalf: she made hereself available on nights and weekends, answered pages promptly, and continued to serve us after closing. She has helped us to find services, contractors, utilities, etc. and has continued to check up on us on a regular basis to make sure our transition to our new community has gone smoothly. It has been a pleasure to work with her, and we plan to use her again when it is time for us to move up to our next home.

Sincerely,

Dear Ruth:
This letter is to show you our true appreciation for helping us sell our home in Oak Park. Your professionalism and thoroughness were unparralled. We really appreciated how well you worked with our relocation department. You were able to take care of even the smallest detail and helped to make this transition the smoothest we could ever have hoped for. After interviewing the top realtors in the area in order to get the best sales price for our house, your ability to support the list price with documentation provided us with confidence in your ability. We were also pleased that you worked so well with the appraisers to help us get the most value out of our home. The fact that you were able to sell our home for its list price was the icing on the cake.
Thanks again for all your help!

To Whom It May Concern:
I started working with Ruth Rose in the late summer of 1993 during my search for my first home.Previously, I had searched through many homes in my price range with many different brokers. Many of the other brokers didn't take notice of my tastes and preferences and therefore, I was not able to find a home and complete a purchase. Two months after working with Ruth, we found a townhome and I closed escrow on Dec. 13, 1993. The list price on the house was $199,000. Ruth did a great job of negotiating with the seller's broker and I purchased it for $170,000. I lived there from 1993 until August 1997. Since then, my wife and I have worked only with Ruth and she has sold two and helped us purchase another two properties including the two we have in escrow now (5 transactions total).

In my professional career, I have not seen anyone in any industry work with the intensitiy, diligence and professionalism as Ruth Rose. We always worked very well together and she always made it appear that we were her only clients. She does not stop working until she either finds you a house or sells your house. She is in constant contact with the other brokers and escrow companies to insure that everything moves along quickly and accurately. In addition, she has a broad understanding of both the Real Estate and Mortgage markets and is a very good negotiator. We have been very satisfied with her as an agent on every transaction.

Since I started buying and selling property, the total dollar volume of all 5 of my Real Estate transactions is approximately $2,284,000. We can't imagine working with any other agent and will continue to recommend Ruth to others.

Sincerely,
Michael Solot
