Ruth was an absolute pleasure to work with. She guided us through the entire process from listing to closing. She set realistic expectations from the outset, provided us with weekly updates on the market dynamics, and shared consistent feedback on how to make our condo more attractive to potential buyers. She gave her professional opinion on the potential sale price of our condo but never pressured us and left the final decision to us. Once we accepted an offer, she helped ensure the closing process went smoothly. All in all, a positive experience. She comes highly recommended and we would definitely hire her again to buy/sell property.

Working with Ruth to sell our home and find a new one was one of the best experiences weve had. Especially during stressful times, Ruths extensive knowledge of the market, network of high quality professionals that didnt break the bank, calm, professionalism, attentiveness, reassurance, and just the right amount of humor helped us tremendously with the process. We loved the professional quality photos of our home and successful open houses. We sold our condo within 3 weeks from listing in the dead of winter. Ruth is responsive and helpful in every way. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Ruth has how now helped us sell two homes and buy two homes in the course of five years. She is knowledgeable about the market, reliable, sets appropriate expectations, but more importantly cares deeply about her clients and ensures they are getting the best and most fair deal. I recommend her to friends and family without hesitation!

Ruth is trustworthy, available, kind, honest, a skilled negotiator, professional and knowledgeable. Ruth is incredibly patient and showed my many homes until I found "the one". She was always available to look at the homes I was interested in and was quick to point out potential issues with the homes. When it came down to putting an offer down on a home, I found myself in a multiple offer situation. Ruth was a fantastic negotiator and gave me the best advice to ensure my offer was accepted. I am thrilled with my new house! When the time comes to sell and buy again, Ruth will be the realtor I choose. I am extremely grateful for all that Ruth did to make my experience as stress free as possible!

I can't speak highly enough about Ruth Malkin and my experience buying a home with her help. I worked with several realtors before I met Ruth. When buying a house as a single mother, I wanted to make sure I worked with a realtor I trusted and had my best interest in mind. Ruth is trustworthy, available, kind, honest, a skilled negotiator, professional and knowledgeable. Ruth is incredibly patient and showed my many homes until I found "the one". She was always available to look at the homes I was interested in and was quick to point out potential issues with the homes. She was honest and I appreciated her honesty.
