WHAT A FEW OF OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

A Trusted Friend in a Tough Market

My wife and I interviewed several recommended realtors and specifically chose Ruth Ann for her knowledge, experience and educational approach to buying a house. She is more than a realtor, she is a trusted advisor that will take the time to teach new home buyers about the entire sales process from looking to lending and closing.

Ruth Ann Bowe is the Best

Ruth Ann helped me locate the perfect home and made the purchase of my first home a great experience. She is very knowledgeable and was extremely patient with my endless questions and concerns. I purchased during a very busy time in my life and she handled everything for me. I will always use Ruth Ann as my realtor and recommend her to all my friends and clients.

Above and Beyond Customer Service

As first time home buyers, everything was new to us – Ruth Ann took time to make sure we understood the entire process and was always available to take our calls or meet with us when we had questions. She also referred us to a terrific loan officer and tax advisor that made the entire process even easier. The service Ruth Ann provides cannot be matched, and to top it off she is extremely fun to work with. Thanks for everything.

– Alan & Elizabeth M.

I Couldn’t Be More Pleased

I worked with Ruth Ann and her team to sell my Santa Barbara home of 30 years. The house needed some updating prior to sale, and being a very busy person, I did not have time to orchestrate the work. Ruth Ann came to the rescue, bringing in some very talented and affordable help to repair, landscape, clean and stage. As soon as that process came to an end, she was all ready to go with the listing. She had a potential buyer waiting in the wings, and within 24 hours I received an offer for the full asking price. I had barely caught my breath after moving out, and it was over!

Always the Best

Ruth Ann will make sure you get the best price if you are buying or selling. You will always get the truth from her and she will take the extra time to research, educate or do whatever is needed.

A Great Team to Work With

Ruth Ann helped us buy our first home in Santa Barbara – it was a great experience. Seven years later, she checked in with me about a house on the market that she thought would be a fit for us, and today we are living in that very house. Ruth Ann and her team are knowledgeable, thoughtful, caring, hard-working, and also just all around great folks. I highly recommend her real estate services.
