What clients say about this agent....
Mark is an awesome realtor and an awesome person! He went above and beyond and even assisted in guiding me in selling my house as an aEURoefor sale by owneraEUR?. He was always available and even helped me purchase my new home over his vacation. While he was a the beach he was calling the other realtor and guiding negotiations. If you are looking to buy or sell a home, Mark should be your choice!
Available at all times to answer questions and help us thru the process. Listens to our wants and needs and gave us honest advice to sell our house and we did it in only 8 days !
For the 2nd time, we utilized Mark Ruby to sell our house and to buy a new one. Mark was with us every step of the way, offering wise advice, ideas, and recommendations. He puts his clients first, and goes to bat for them. We ran into a number of difficult issues in both selling and buying our house, but they did not phase Mark. Not only is Mark a great real estate agent, he is also well networked, and knows who to contact for any needs (plumbing, roofing, electrical, etc) that might arise. He also has a great eye for staging. We highly recommend Mark and will use him again down the road.

We recently used Mark for the second time. He helped us buy our starter home in 2011 and we had such a great experience we brought him back when we were looking for an upgrade. He helped walk us through the steps of preparing our home to be sold (including advice on staging, painting, etc) and was always available to answer questions. We ended up getting multiple viewings and an offer within just 48 hours of listing.On the purchase end, he took the time to really understand what we were looking for in a new home and took us around to many (many) houses until we found the perfect one for us. He did a great job coordinating our home sale with our home purchase- since we needed to close on both houses on the same day in order for the purchase to go through. It was a lot of moving parts, but all went smoothly!Mark does a great job at keeping in touch with his clients over the years- demonstrating that you are not just a client or a paycheck- you're a friend!
If you are looking for a realtor who is intuitive, hardworking, and personable, I recommend Mark Ruby. Throughout his time with us, he demonstrated a high level of competence of his craft. He used his keen knowledge of the local Reisterstown housing market to direct the best way our property would be marketed to get us top dollar. He consistently showed respect for our opinions and feelings, as sellers, while incorporating our opinions with mutual respect. When decisions were needed, he made sure that we were well informed at every step along the process. Mark Ruby is my choice of Top Realtor in today's home selling market!
Mark is a rare blend of process expertise, humility, diligence, integrity, and market knowledge. Having had the good fortune to work with Mark on the sale of my mother's home, I would never consider using anyone else. He made what would have been an otherwise difficult transaction, extremely smooth. Not only did we sell the house for a higher price than the list, but the difficulties inherent to selling an old home were handled quickly and in the best interest of all parties. He is simply the best realtor I have ever met.
I 100% recommend Mark for all real estate needs. I moved across the country and worked with Mark to sell my house in Sykesville. Mark collaborated with me, working through challenging situations and always had my best interest in mind. Mark dealt with negotiations, and contracts falling through (out of our control, buyer losing job before closing) and always worked with me to come up with a new approach to keep my listing fresh and active, with minimal cost. I have recommended Mark to multiple people, and will ask for his help with all my real estate needs. Thank you Mark!
We have worked with Mark twice. He helped us through the process of finding and buying a lot on which we will be building our future house. Mark was respectful to find a lot that fell well within our budget parameters. We found his knowledge about buying a lot helpful. Mark also helped us sell our home in Westminster. We knew there would be some difficultly since the house is on what some consider to be a busy road. Prior to listing, Mark did a walk through and provided a list of recommendations for improvements. Afterwards, Mark set reasonable expectations for what our price point should be and gave us staging advice. Mark was respectful when we were not fully able to meet all the recommendations. In addition, we started the listing price higher than originally discussed. After a few weeks on the market, we changed our home presentation and lowered the price. Our home had a contract not long after. Mark was patient and understanding during our process. He connected us with the contractor who is designing and building our new house. Mark seemed to always know someone in a different service field who helped us in our process as well, like an interior decorator, electrician, mortgage company, etc. Mark is very trustworthy, responsive, and willing to work with you through the entire process. During both experiences, Mark went above what we would have expected as well. He was very timely in his responses to emails and texts. Lastly, he is a family man, who often asked about our children and shared about his own. It made a difference.
I've worked with Mark three times now - twice with buying a home and once with selling. Each time, Mark has shown a high level of expertise and professionalism. He is easy to reach and maintains contact so that you are always aware of what is happening within the home buying/selling process. He also takes the extra time to make sure you fully understand everything and are comfortable before moving forward. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone in need of a trustworthy realtor!
