I can honestly say we would not have gotten through this home-buying process as successfully without Ruth Garvey.

From day one, Ruth was responsive, knowledgeable, honest, and truly invested in helping our family make the right decision, not just a fast decision.

What I appreciated most is that we never felt like just another client. Ruth advocated for us, gave us real guidance, and genuinely cared about helping us find the right home for our family. She is still guiding us through, even post closing!

If you want a realtor with extensive Northern Virginia market knowledge, is willing and ready to negotiate for you, and truly has your back, Ruth is the one. I’m really grateful we had her in our corner through this process (and beyond!)

I only have good things to say about Ruth, she was amazing from the start! She asked the right questions which helped me evaluate my options better and had very strong local knowledge. Once I found my home the process went so smooth it felt like my home was meant to be. It was also just a fun experience with her lively and caring personality, she always had a smile on her face. Ruth was ready to tackle any questions or concerns I had and was quick to action, reach out and research until she got me an answer. She was always available and was by my side throughout every step. I’m so lucky to have found Ruth and I would highly recommend her to anyone!!

I'm so glad I chose Ruth as my Realtor; From the initial consultation, she was incredible personable and helpful in helping walk me through the process. She was on top of all new listings, taking to heart my likes/dislikes, and set up a perfect showing day to help me find my new home! Once selected, she quickly worked through the whole process, making it easy and stress-free for me. From initial consult to closing, she was always available to answer any questions. If you are looking to buy/sell in NOVA, I highly recommend Ruth for your home needs!

I Highly recommend the best Realtor around, Ruth Garvey!!! From the very first conversation, she treated our condo search with the kind of care and dedication you’d expect from a top-tier Realtor. Ruth simply did not provide realtor services; she provided CONCIERGE services. I was helping my sister find the perfect place for her and my dad, and Ruth made the entire process less stressful and effortless—despite the challenges of the market.
Ruth is incredibly knowledgeable, always responsive, and was deeply attentive to both our needs and preferences. Every showing was thoughtfully curated, and she was NEVER pushy—just genuinely invested in helping us make the right decision. When we finally found the one, Ruth navigated the negotiation and closing process with absolute precision and professionalism. When I met Ruth, she said she was there to provide a concierge type of experience, guide us through the buying process and make our experience as enjoyable and stress-free as possible, and she delivered. I truly appreciated she always sounded pleasant and happy when I spoke to her on the phone. She always had a smile on her face when I met her for an appointment. Without asking, she took the initiative to contact the management company to ask questions so my sister and I could make an informed decision on selecting this property. She did this many times throughout the process, which I have to say, many realtors do not do.
Thanks to Ruth, my sister now has a beautiful condo she loves—and I have total peace of mind knowing she’s in the perfect place, where her and dad will live. If you're looking for someone who goes above and beyond, look no further. This is real estate-CONCIERGE service at its finest! Thank you, Ruth!

Ruth made the process of buying our first home an absolute dream! My husband and I were moving to the DMV area from another state and Ruth was truly phenomenal. We had a short timeline and an even shorter time to come look at homes, but we managed to see 14 in the span of two days! Given that this was our first home buying experience, her insights and knack for pointing out specifics that we wouldn’t have known to look for were crucial in finding the perfect home. Ruth set the bar so high!

I am convinced that if we had not hired and listened to this woman, we would never have been able to do as well as we did on the sale of our home. Ruth is competant, intelligent, responsive, and knows her stuff. Hire her and know that you are in the best possible hands.

My wife and I have worked with Ruth to buy 3 houses and sell 2 . She has been fantastic every step of the way. In fact, we would have been happy continuing to work with Ruth if she was just as good as she was when we first worked with her 7 years ago. But over time she has gotten even better. Her advice is the difference that won us our dream (and current) home, and it was the difference that got us a great price on our last house. To all you people out there losing bidding wars and feeling like you could have gotten a better price when you sold: it’s not you. It’s your lack of Ruth.

Ruth is a pro! She took the time to listen to exactly what we were looking for, was super responsive, and we ended up getting a great deal in this insane DC real estate market.

I had a terrific experience working with Ruth. She helped me find a condo in Arlington VA that met every single one of my criteria. Ruth works quickly and efficiently!! She was extremely responsive and timely on all communications. Most of all Ruth was never pushy nor did she try the hard sell. She was kind and patient. When I had a concern she listened and offered great advice. If you need a realtor choose Ruth!!!

Ruth was so helpful! We hadn't bought a house in many years, and Ruth walked us through the current real estate market, timelines, etc. She answered all of our questions and provided great guidance and expertise.
She was able to do live video walk-throughs of houses, when we were not able to visit on short-notice.
She also provided great communication, and quick replies to my messages.

Ruth is the best! She's so personable, and such a pleasure to work with. She gave us great advice throughout the home buying process, which for most others like us, was quite stressful with the market being what it has been. She helped alleviate that stress, and always made us feel like we were in the best hands. She responded quickly to questions and was always prompt at getting us scheduled to see places. She helped us find and buy a home that had so many of our must-haves and several things we really hoped for, but didn't think we would ever get. I truly believe we wouldn't be happily living in our new home if it weren't for her, and I can't recommend her highly enough!

Ruth was so wonderful to work with! As first-time homebuyers, she helped us navigate a difficult market and find a home that we love (and even got us money back on closing!) From start to finish, she made herself so available and was able to show us properties so quickly, sometimes even that day when I sent her places of interest. She really knows the DMV area and was able to give us so much info about various neighborhoods. All of her recommendations for home inspector, mortgage lender, title company, etc. were top notch. Ruth was fantastic to work with and I can’t recommend her enough for your realty needs.
