What My Clients Say About MeTestimonials

Joann Wintermute

Very pleased with all phases of the sale.

Kathy & David Hales

Our Realtor Laura Curtis is the Realtor we rate all of our buys against. She is top of the pile of the 9 home purchases we had! Her integrity, communication, friendliness is impeccable. All realtors should rise up to her standards of service care. She truly loves her job and gets to know her clients both professionally and truly cares about them. We felt that and would use her again if we could. Knowledgeable and aggressive, knows the price points rising or lowering. #1 A+ Realtor!

Brian Foor

Laura was outstanding and went far beyond what we would have expected from our realtor. She kept in constant communication with us which helped everything go flawlessly. Her expertise was key to answering the multiple questions we had during the home buying process.

Douglas Dillabough

5 stars excellent service.

Joseph Brotherton

Just. WOW! Laura was INCREDIBLE!. This was the first time I've ever sold a house, and Laura went above and beyond. She was very informative throughout the entire process and extremely proactive in getting it sold. I normally stress way too much and selling a house is certainly stressful, but Laura was fantastic at explaining the process and easing the stress throughout. Very happy with the job she did. Thank you!!!

Laura (and Kevin) Custis was a great help! Walked me (a first-time home buyer) through the process from start to end.

Ed & Amy Schulte

Laura Custis did an outstanding job of selling our home! She offered great suggestions and encouragement during the entire process. she always followed up with feedback from clients and helped us set up some necessary improvements in a timely manner. After we had moved to our new townhome, she helped coordinate carpet replacement and checked on the progress for us. She was always pleasant and professional as she helped us through the process of both buying a new home and selling our existing home. She was a perfect fit for our needs!

Laura Custis has an excellent disposition for selling property! She contacted me to be sure I understood every document & every action of the sale using DocuSign, as I was out of the state for most of the listing/sale time.

Although I have nothing but glowing reviews of my agent, as she is the world's best realtor, she is truly the best for first-time home buyers. She took all my silly questions seriously and treated me as her most important client!

Mary Finney

I was pleased with the short amount of time it took to sell my home, and with the selling price.

Kevin Levins

We would like thank Laura Custis for helping make this new transition in our lives! The Levins’s

Kurt Peterson

I was very happy and impressed with Laura's knowledge of the market and what details were important to make a good impression for a quick sale. Her ability to keep me rounded ( and SANE) as I was moving and dealing with health issues was deeply apricated. She truly cared about making sure I understood the process and getting me to be the end process of selling the home at a price that exceeded my expectations.

Christopher Weber

Laura Custis was outstanding to work with! She was patient and respectful. We would work with her again in a heat beat.

Andrew & Katie Benner

Laura is the absolute best! She goes above and beyond to execute. Her follow - up and responsiveness is superb! We used Laura when we bought the house and returned to her because of how helpful she was. She put her clients needs first, but makes sure the transaction is equitable to all. I wished she was licensed in Kansas, so we could have hired her for the purchase as well.

Jason Anderson

We were on the fence about selling our house while still trying to find our new home. Laura’s patience shined through from house showing 1 to 25, same positive attitude and spirit every time!

Kellie Schutte

So thankful we had Laura Custis of Ruhl and Ruhl as our agent.

Christopher & Sonja Baker

Laura was an outstanding agent. She was very responsive to questions and concerns. She seemed to genuinely care, not only about the sale of our homes, but us as people. She walked us through each step and always seemed to be ahead of the game. We wished we could have had her for our homes purchase in Polk City as well! We would (and will) recommend her to any future buyers or sellers!!

Justis Brauns

After finding out we were expecting our first child, we knew we wanted to find a home to raise our family in. We contacted Laura Custis and we really appreciated the enthusiasm and positivity she had towards selling our house. Moving is a stressful process but she made it as enjoyable as possible! My wife and I also had different priorities and she worked very hard to meet both of our “musts.” We highly recommend that anyone looking to buy or sell goes through Ruhl & Ruhl, and more specifically through Laura!

Billie Riles

The whole process was easy. Laura was awesome to work with and I would highly recommend her and Ruhl & Ruhl!

James Hamilton & Sarah Wulf-Hamilton

Laura made this process "manageable". We lived in our old home for 17 years for fear of the buying process. Laura not only made us feel comfortable but she also made us feel like a friend. I will recommend her to anyone we know looking to buy or sell a home. We could not be any happier with our forever home and we owe a large portion of that to Laura!!!

Kevin Custis

Laura is a great combination of expertise, professionalism, and empathy. As a client, I felt 100% confident in the process all the way through each step because of her outstanding communication skills. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to what matters in the value of a property. We had a few hiccups along the way in the process of getting our home load approved and on time, and she handled them very calmly, not allowing the process to get off track. I never once worried about or doubted anything that happened. Ruhl & Ruhl would do well to hire another 12 Lauras! But that might confusing for me during the company Christmas party...

Robin Edwards

Purchasing a house while out of town is not the ideal situation; however with the expert help of Laura Custis We did just that! After a video tour just hours before the close of the house bidding, we signed papers electronically on the side of the road and got the house! She was the best!
