About
Born and raised in California, Pete has been a resident of the state for over 30 years. Pete has a unique background in prior work experience as a former baseball player with the Boston Red Sox organization from 2008 to 2014. Pete had a playing career of 7 full seasons, all with Boston, and baseball is still a big part of his life as he coaches in the local community. Being a professional athlete was an incredible experience that taught Pete many valuable lessons that he uses in everyday life and business. Pete's work ethic is unparalleled, and he is more determined for success than anyone else. He is a problem solver who thrives under pressure, no matter how high the stakes might be. He is results-driven and has an extensive and proven track record of continuous success.

As a Realtor and Team Leader, Pete has taken his unique skill sets previously used in baseball and repurposed them into his day-to-day business. Pete will fight and compete harder than anyone else for his clients and holds his fiduciary responsibility to the highest degree. With this being Pete's core value, he always gives his best effort paired with the highest level of focus for all of his clients. No one can match Pete's loyalty, competitiveness, and drive, which ensures that his clients are getting the best representation possible, at all times. Pete knows that buying or selling a home is a momentous event in any person's life. You need someone in your corner with local market knowledge, proven experience, and the tenacity to make sure that YOU win. Pete and The Ruiz Group are the people for that job!

I met Alicia at an open house, and she was friendly and approachable from the start. She took the time to show me around, answer my questions, and offer helpful suggestions on what to look for in a home. I appreciated her insight and how comfortable she made the whole experience. I’d definitely recommend reaching out to her!

I feel so fortunate to have had Pete Ruiz help me purchase my home. I have worked with several realtors over the years and Pete is, without question, the very best. My appreciation for him goes well beyond a 5-star review.
Buying a home is such a personal and important experience and I am grateful that Pete was the person helping me through it. He will always be part of the story of how I found my home, and that means a great deal to me.
Pete, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I would happily recommend you to friends, family or anyone looking for an outstanding realtor. You absolutely will be my first call if I ever move again.

Adam Bomarito was extremely professional and attentive to our needs in selling our property. I would highly recommend him for any sale or purchase in the future. He was always available for any questions that would arise and very knowledgeable in his field. Thank you, Adam

We could not be more grateful to Adrian Martinez for helping us find a home that truly fits our family’s needs. From our very first conversation through the close of escrow, Adrian went above and beyond to make the entire experience feel smooth, organized, and personal.

He provided exceptional, white-glove service and was always responsive, attentive, and willing to go the extra mile. Adrian and The Ruiz Group worked seamlessly together to keep us informed, on track, and ahead of every escrow deadline. We always felt that our best interests came first.

What impressed us most was Adrian’s genuine dedication. He is eager, determined, and committed to doing the very best job for his clients. He is not simply focused on making a sale—he truly cares about helping families find the right home.

We highly recommend Adrian Martinez and The Ruiz Group to anyone looking for knowledgeable, hardworking, and genuinely caring real estate professionals. They made such an important process a truly positive experience.

Alicia did an amazing job showing me places in the Monterey area. She knows the area well and provided me with a lot of great information on both the neighborhood and the homes. Throughout the process, she communicated well, always brought a positive energy, and was very helpful in answering all of my questions. It was a true pleasure working with Alicia. She is super friendly and made the overall experience fantastic. While I didn't settle on a home at this time, I plan to work with Alicia again in the future to assist me with my purchase.
