About Ruth

I have been licensed since 1996, owning & operating The Real Estate Store beginning in 1999 . I am an independent Broker/Owner.
I became active and full time again in 2022 after working in the field of insurance and financial services, services to veterans, the under employed, the homeless, disabled and elderly through employment services and case management across the state of Iowa since 2008.

My husband and I rented for 22 years before becoming a homeowners ourselves. We were tenant farmers until we secured supportive lenders who gave us the backbone to purchase ag land. I have been married to my rock of a husband, Craig since 1978. We have two sons Jason & Jesse and grandchildren we adore.

Long story short - I get it. I believe hard work and perseverance pays off ! Put my experience to work for you .
My sales history in Homes.com is for the past year not over the course of my real estate career.

Are you a preservationist looking for a project ? We found one ! The seller is looking for an offer before the snow flies so a buyer has time to get the roof secured.
