Testimonials

As a dual-licensed Realtor in Iowa and Illinois, I cross the Mississippi River regularly to help buyers and sellers throughout Burlington, Iowa, Galesburg, Illinois, and the surrounding rural communities. During my 7 years with Ruhl&Ruhl Realtors, I have guided clients through more than 145 real estate transactions, including 45 property listings and nearly 100 buyer transactions.

I especially enjoy working as a first-time home buyer agent. Buying a home can initially feel intimidating or confusing, but my goal is to make the process comfortable, manageable, and exciting. My approach is laid-back, educational, and centered on giving you the information you need to make confident real estate decisions. Whether you are buying your first home, relocating to Southeast Iowa or Western Illinois, selling a property, or searching for a home in a rural community, I provide clear guidance from the first conversation through closing.

My experience managing family-owned short-term rentals, event businesses, and assisting my brother with our family-owned trucking and truck service companies in Biggsville and Stronghurst has made me a hands-on problem solver who knows how to stay calm under pressure. When challenges arise, I work through the details behind the scenes so my clients feel informed, supported, and confident throughout the process.

When I am not negotiating home sales, arranging wedding flowers with my mom, or behind a desk at the truck shop, I spend my free time with my family. This includes my significant other Nick, his two children Liam and Emerson, my daughter Carlee, and my grandsons, AKA my best friends, Camden and Stetson.

Toby Krow II & Gabrelle Bolander

Ashley is a pleasure to work with! We really enjoy buying and selling with Ashley as our realtor. She makes sure to take extra care of her clients.

Mark Holdren

Ashley went above and beyond our expectations! Very friendly, professional, and helpful. Everything went perfectly smooth. When we go to sell our house again we will definitely be using Ashley!

Derek Bocox

Ashley was courthouse and respectful through the entire process. She helped to sell my house fast and made the entire selling process a breeze. I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor.

Cynthia Christianson

Ashley did a very good job overall. The reason I gave her a four vs a five is that my sister struggled at times connecting with her.

Vergel Dalusung

Ashley Link went above and beyond her duties as a Realtor. We bought a house in IL while we were still living in CA and we relied solely on her video tours. We could not move in what with the interstate driving until almost about a month later and Ashley kept checked on our house for us from time to time. We could not have asked for a better Realtor. We love Ashley Link.

James Logan

Ashley Link - very good at her job. Very helpful, went out of her way to get the house to be sold in order, repairs done and made it presentable to perspective buyers. I live in Las Vegas and I didn't need to be in Lomax to get the house sold. She is an asset to your company.

Mark Heater

Very friendly and overall a great job. Thank you Ashley for everything. She helped me get the house!

Bonita Johnson

We really appreciated Ashley taking the time to take our pictures with the house after closing. We were excited and she was willing and didn't rush and seemed genuinely excited for us.
