Buyer reviewWe chose Jim because we had dealt with him in the past on 2 different real estate deals. He was very patient and knowledgable and showed us many properties while taking time away from family over numerous weekends. He never rushed us or made us feel pressured to make a decision that didn't fit our needs. In the end, we are very happy with our decision to use Jim and with the lake home we purchased. Jim is outstanding. Of all the personal characteristics we value, I would say honesty and trustworthiness are the highest and Jim excels in each of these.

Buyer reviewJim was incredible knowledgeable and it was clear that his focus was on us making the right buying decision and not the commission. Jim was equally invested in this process and he never once batted an eye at making a long trip over, even if it was just to see one house. I would absolutely recommend Jim to anyone who is serious about making a smart and informed home purchase.

Buyer reviewJim was very easy to work with. He was patient in finding us exactly what we were looking for. The house we ended up purchasing was one he had found for us based on what we had told him we were looking for. We were in the process of relocating to the area and he was very flexible in making things work. Jim was amazing to work with! He knew a lot about the area and was very knowledgeable in answering any questions we had. It took some time to get an offer accepted on one we were interested in due to the fact that all the ones we were interested in went very quickly. He was very patient in helping us. We were referred by a family member. We were told Jim has been working real estate for a long time and was knowledgeable of the area. We started with a different realtor from another company and were not happy with them so we were looking to switch. Overall we are very happy we choose to switch to Jim Ruttger! We love our new home!
