Ensuring the safety, care and health of our community is our top priority and minimizing risk is of utmost concern. You've already received communications from organizations talking about the precautions they're taking to keep you safe amid the COVID-19 outbreak. We can assure you that Ruhl&Ruhl's agents and staff are following the same precautions.
So we wanted to instead take this opportunity to let you know a few things about Ruhl&Ruhl Realtors and about our current real estate market. Thank you so much for taking a minute to read this.
1. We are prepared to do business safely
Over the years, Ruhl&Ruhl Realtors has invested in and developed proprietary technology, which gives our agents everything they need to do business without being physically present in an office or even at home. These tools will help ensure your health and safety, and that of our agents, while also making sure that our services will not be interrupted.

2. We are here for you now and in the future
For 158 years, we have served, and stood by, our local communities. We are in turbulent times, and even as this progresses, we are ready to serve you. We have been helping local families since 1862 and stood by our customers' side through world wars, the great depression and housing downturns - in good times and in bad. Our family is committed to helping you however we can now and in the future.
3. We are local
Ruhl&Ruhl Realtors is locally owned and operated, and we will draw upon the local resources and expertise of our 350+ agents and staff, representing virtually every neighborhood and town in the region, to deliver the local information, services, advice and expertise you need now more than ever. Critically, we will also continue to support the ecosystem of locally owned and operated businesses that drive our local economy and employ local workers.
In times like these, our local relationships ensure we are able to navigate this disruption and remain fluid in our operations as local market conditions and the real estate environment shifts. Real estate is an essential component of our local economies, and we will do everything in our power to ensure that this important economic driver remains a stabilizing force in our communities.
4. We are flexible
Ruhl&Ruhl Realtors has the ability to market, show and sell homes in a variety of ways. Now that flexibility is coming to the fore. We have many video and virtual tools to enable buyers to view your home without being physically present. We have enhanced online marketing while more buyers are relying on digital. Note that the lone physical component to any quality marketing program is photography and video. We want you to know that the strictest precautions will be taken in the capture of any new footage.
