About Ruth Bruno, Your Friendly Realtor & Crossing Guard in Irvine
Ruth Bruno is the Owner of Ruth Bruno Real Estate, Inc, here in Irvine, California. Ruth has helped over 160 families achieve their real estate dreams in just 6.5 years, earning her place in the top 1% of agents throughout Orange County. Known for her unwavering dedication to protecting, guiding, and advocating for her clients, Ruth brings both professional excellence and personal warmth to every transaction.
Ruth earned her real estate license just six months before the COVID-19 pandemic and thrived in the challenging market. Fueled by her passion for helping others and a background in marketing and digital technology, she quickly adapted to a shifting market, helping 40 families in 2021 alone and 32 in 2022. Her ability to pivot, communicate clearly, and harness innovative tools set her apart when many were struggling to keep up.
Growing up in a family immersed in real estate, Ruth's path into the industry felt natural. Before becoming a Realtor®, she honed her negotiation and market analysis skills working with Fortune 500 companies, experience she now leverages to help sellers maximize their home's value in today's competitive market.
Ruth offers a comprehensive, full-service approach to every sale. For sellers, she creates strategic marketing plans designed to attract qualified buyers quickly while maximizing returns. Her proven system ensures each home is professionally staged, strategically priced, and marketed across multiple platforms to stand out from the competition. Buyers benefit from her market expertise and skilled negotiations, receiving complimentary consultations that simplify their journey from pre-approval to closing.
As a longtime Irvine resident and single mom, Ruth understands firsthand the importance of home and community. She's deeply committed to giving back, serving as a City of Irvine Crossing Guard, a role she proudly shares with her 85-year-old mother. Together, they protect and greet local children each day, building connections and strengthening neighborhood bonds.
With every home sold and every referral received, Ruth and her team are able to support nonprofits and help relieve hunger through organizations such as Helping Hand Worldwide, Families Forward, and Sell a Home Save a Child. Beyond real estate, this commitment reflects Ruth's belief that success should always create impact, not just for clients, but for the broader community as well.

Team Behind the Scenes and Events
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.

What others are saying
As an experienced Irvine Realtor, Ruth made the entire process seamless, even from a distance. Ruth helped us shop virtually, visited many homes on FaceTime with us, and gave great input about building quality, school districts, and local market dynamics. She went above and beyond to ensure everything fell into place, including working with the seller's agent to be flexible on timing of close. She exceeded our expectations every step of the way. -Kirksey Family
We recently had the pleasure of working with Ruth Bruno Real Estate and the entire experience was absolutely exceptional. From the very first conversation, Ruth was warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the market. She took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and helped guide us through every step. Ruth was always available to answer questions and made the process feel smooth, even during moments that could have been stressful. What really stood out was Ruth’s attention to detail, her honest advice, and how genuinely invested she was in making sure we found a home we truly loved.

Most recently, Ruth managed the sale of our home in North Tustin. She seamlessly coordinated every aspect, from organizing an estate sale and overseeing pre-listing repairs with her reliable handyman, to expertly handling cleaning, staging, and managing all offers. Ruth's professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for her clients make her an outstanding real estate advisor. If you're considering buying or selling a home in Orange County, we wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Ruth Bruno Real Estate. -Wieske Family
