Ruhl&Ruhl is more than Real Estate
When asked to sit down to talk about working with family at Ruhl&Ruhl the last thing Kate Franzen would imagine was her mom tearing up with pride as she talked about working with her daughter. But, as Gina Rowland opened up and talked about her "leap of faith" in trusting her daughter to treat her clients the way she would, that is exactly what happened.
"The first time I watched Kate do a buyer consultation all on her own, I saw how good she is. She is really, really good," said Rowland, when asked about her favorite memory at Ruhl&Ruhl.
"It's because you're bias," Franzen chimed in.
