I had the pleasure of working with Jim Ruddy and he is a professional who really knows his craft. When it comes to buying or selling real estate, there are many pitfalls that most people don't even know exist, much less how to navigate. Jim and his team bring extensive, local experience to the table. He gave me one is the best pieces of advice. Don't trust the other guy, or the websites. Pay for your own appraisal before you decide on a price to sell, and if your buying outside of traditional funding methods, same thing applies. If you drive by his office, his name is always out front. A top producer and a top producing team. You have to be excellent from beginning to end, day in and day out in order to receive such recognition! The biggest investment most people will make, can't afford to be wasted with anyone but the best. Here's a bit of trivia you can ask Jim and Maggie... Where can I find a home where I don't have to ever worry about a developer coming in and ruining my peaceful surroundings and wonderful landscape? Call them, they know their stuff!
Maggie and Jim did an awesome job in selling our house They were very professional and knowledgeable My wife and I are very happy. I will highly recommend them to others
Jim and Maggie went far and above my expectations. They had a buyer 4 days after the listing. Maggie was great at staying in touch everyday with updates about the property and what was happening throughout the entire process. It was listed and closed in 3 weeks!! Outstanding. I highly recommend them.
I have watched the Jim Ruddy Team for many years, but I had never seen their marketing strategy up close until my neighbor decided to use them to sell their home. I was actually the one who introduced them, and I was incredibly impressed with what followed. From the professional photography to the coordinated social media launch, their marketing created immediate interest and resulted in multiple offers in less than three days. What impressed me even more was how they handled those multiple offers. Rather than simply accepting an offer and waiting for closing, the Ruddy Team continued working to maximize the seller's position. They contacted all parties, established a clear best-and-final deadline, and encouraged the competing agents to consider strengthening their offers with an appraisal gap addendum. That strategy made a real difference. One buyer included the appraisal gap and ultimately won the home by offering $10,000 over asking price. When the appraisal later came in low, the appraisal gap protected the transaction and resulted in the sellers receiving an additional $5,000. To me, that's the difference between simply listing a home and truly representing a seller's best interests. That's the kind of team I would want selling my home.
Jim Ruddy was great to work with! Helped me sell one house and transition onto a new house. Always patient, congenial and professional. And he worked with the seller's broker to get the new house price within reach. He also made the back to back closings in one morning easy. Highly recommend!
The Ruddy Team are the best in the real estate industry. I had the privilege to work with them for over 20 years. They are consistently the number one team in the office month after month due to their reputation. Very hard workers, honest and they truly care for the buyer and seller. Pat Zajkowski, Realtor
This is our second time working with Jim and Maggie. Mission accomplished of selling our home in a tough market. Thank you Jim and Maggie.
Jim and Maggie are the best in the Real Estate business. They are caring folks combined with the highest level of knowledge and professionalism. After working with another agent for several months and seeing no results, the Ruddy team comes in and knocks the ball out of the court. The secret was Jim or Maggie attended all the showings. Getting to know me and my property was the craft. They sell your house versus relying on a "buyers" agent for their best guess. I can't say enough. Thanks Team Ruddy !
As a former type 'A' personality aging and the need for assistance has not been fun...in fact it is almost as difficult as the thought of buying a home for the first time in 20 years. Seeking help from Jim Ruddy and Maggie was a blessing. Their knowledge of market trends, law changes, etc. have been valuable. They have been extremely supportive of me, as well as my health issues, guiding me through this entire process. They listened to all of my needs and worked to accommodate me. I could never ever have done this without help...specifically their help. I cannot thank them enough and will recommend them to anyone who wants to buy/sell real estate.
I can't thank Jim enough for all the help during such a crazy time in my life! Between juggling my job, kids, packing, selling my house, and searching for a new home 4 hours away, I felt completely overwhelmed. Jim is very knowledgeable and always reachable. He was there every step of the way, keeping me organized and on track. He took care of everything--coordinating inspections, preparing contracts to complete, and walking me through all the details so I knew exactly what was going on, even when I couldn't be there in person. Honestly, Jim made this the least stressful home purchase I've ever had. He made everything so much easier, and I truly couldn't have done it without him!
