Real estate is my third and final career, and the one that turned out to be my true calling. I came from the marketing world, got my license six months before COVID, and never looked back.
The stats:
- 190+ families helped in just 8 years.
- Top 1% in Orange County, Orange Coast Magazine 4 years running.
- Every home sold helps relieve hunger through local organizations I support.

At the heart of Ruth Bruno Real Estate is a simple philosophy:
I'll maximize your home's value, simplify the process, and protect you every step of the way. That's the whole promise.
When I'm not selling homes, you'll find me at an Irvine crosswalk in a bright vest. I'm a City of Irvine Crossing Guard, and giving back and enjoying all Irvine offers, I love this community.

For me, success is not just measured by homes sold, but by the relationships built, families helped, and the difference
we can make together in our community.

It truly takes a village to run a small business, and I’m so lucky to have mine!
Lisa, Mitchel, and Michelle help keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes, from communication and marketing to events, organization, and all the little things that make a big difference.
Their help allows me to stay focused on what matters most, my clients, my community, and giving back. Together, we keep things moving, stay creative, and make sure every detail gets the care it deserves (and we manage to laugh a lot along the way too!).
Grateful every day for my amazing team who make Ruth Bruno Real Estate feel like family.
