Jaryd went above and beyond to help me secure a property. Jaryd was the most professional thoughtful & thorough Agent I’ have ever worked with.
I will always recommend him to family and friends who are looking for a truly down to earth, but 100 % professional agent. Jaryd is the type of agent Everyone should be fortunate enough work with.

Excellent agent. Knowledgeable, honest, very hard working. Does everything for his client. Always accessible. STRONGLY RECOMMEND! Over the past 30 years I have sold and bought several properties. Jaryd is by far the best agent we have worked with.

Mr. Ruffner was an excellent agent. We highly recommend him for all of your real estate needs. He handled our property listing from day one to closing. He was quick to return all calls, texts and emails. He handled everything for us. All we had to do is sign! It was so nice to have a reliable agent that take care of your listed property while we were relocating out of State. Bonus was we closed in 20 days!

Couldn't have asked for a better first home purchase experience. Jaryd is proactive with his communication, and even went out of his way to make sure the transaction was as fair as possible for both sides. For example, he visited the property a day before closing on his own, just to document the changes made by the seller before we finalized everything. He also comes with great referrals; good, common sense people that have a genuine respect for the industry they work in.

Jaryd was incredibly genuine, responsive, helpful, and explained everything thoroughly throughout the process of selling our home. I will recommend him to my friends, and family, or anyone in need of a knowledgeable Realtor!
