Going for Gold
Many Americans have cheered on the good ole USA this year for the Olympics in Sochi, Russia, but for Ruhl&Ruhl employees Katie Yohe and Becca Poirier, it hits home. Andy Yohe, Katie's husband and Becca's brother-in-law, is the captain of the 2014 United States Paralympic Sled Hockey Team and has been competing in Sochi the last couple weeks.

4 Reasons to Sell Now
Many homeowners tend to wait until the spring 'buying season' to list their homes for sale. We believe that is a huge mistake right now and came up with four great reasons to list your home: 1.) Demand Is High Home buyers are on the move, literally. First-time buyers are ready to stop renting or living with family; and move-up buyers, those selling their home and moving into a larger home, are on the hunt for the perfect space. There are buyers out there right now and they are serious about purchasing. 2.) Supply Is Low The market is being constrained by the lack of inventory. This number generally increases dramatically in the spring and summer when people choose to sell. By selling now when demand is high and supply is low you may get your best pric...
