My husband and I had our house on the market for a year-and-one-half and had been through several realtors by the time we listed with Anne Ruthling.  We were selling it as a tear down on a 5-acre lot, so primarily as land.  In the year-and-one-half it had been on the market we had not had one bid.

We retained Anne because she had so many new, fresh ideas on how to market the property, even with the real estate slump.  She worked tirelessly, holding several open houses, maintaining a current website, a YouTube Video, and marketing to groups the previous realtors had never approached through means they had never tried.

Anne discovered critical things about our property that we didn't know after 15 years of living there ... Anne is scrupulously honest.

She brought a signed contract within a couple of months of taking over.  She worked with the buyer as well as us to ensure a smooth and fair closing.

I would recommend Anne Ruthling to anyone, particularly if they have a difficult property to sell, and both my husband and I would gladly entertain any reference calls.

Sarah and I are so glad that we have you in DC for us. It has been very hard to have a property on the market while we were overseas...and then moving!  Thankfully we had you while we dealt with the renters and showings. When you took us on, you bit off more work than eithr of us ever planned, but lucky for us, you have stuck with us.

 I wanted to tell you in this email how incredibly happy Alysoun and I are with your service and execution of selling our house in McLean. Despite a very slow market, you were able to find us 2 good offers within a couple of weeks of listing the house.  We know how hard you have worked to show the house well, and have done a lot to make sure the inspections and last minute maintenance tasks were performed while we were starting up our new jobs in New York..

 One of the best  things about Anne is her communication skills. We were always able to reach her night and day.  She responded to e-mail promptly.  Ske kept us completely informed during every step of the process.  Anne  Ruthling is incredibly professional and competent.  We give  our highest  recommendation to Anne.
