Selling your home is one of life’s biggest decisions, and no one works harder to make it a smooth, successful, and rewarding experience than I do. I have a proven strategy designed to help you achieve your goals, whether that means selling quickly, maximizing your price, or finding the perfect balance of both.
Understanding why you’re selling is where our plan begins. Your goals shape everything we do, from pricing and marketing to negotiations and closing. Maybe speed is your priority, or maybe it’s securing the best possible return. Either way, I’ll guide you through every step with clarity, honesty, and confidence.
As a digital marketing expert, I don’t just list your home, I showcase it. My property videos and social media campaigns generate over 25,000 views, reaching the same audience as ten open houses or more, but with far greater impact. This visibility brings serious buyers straight to your door and gives your home the attention it deserves.
With a strong background in marketing, sales, and community connection, I know how to position your home to stand out in today’s market. My clients trust me because I tell it like it is, protect their interests, and make the process as stress-free as possible.
At Ruth Bruno Real Estate, you’re never just another transaction. You’re part of the community I proudly serve, and giving back is at the heart of everything I do.

STEP 1
The first step in selling your home is getting it ready for the market. This includes decluttering, deep cleaning, making necessary repairs, and possibly staging the home to highlight its best features. A well-presented home can attract more buyers and potentially increase your selling price.
STEP 2
Pricing your home correctly is crucial. Research recent sales in your area or work with a real estate professional to determine a competitive and realistic price. Overpricing can lead to your home sitting on the market too long, while underpricing may leave money on the table.
STEP 3
Once your home is ready and priced, it’s time to market it. This includes professional photography, creating a listing for MLS and popular real estate websites, hosting open houses, and using social media or email marketing. Effective marketing ensures your home reaches the right buyers quickly.
STEP 4
When offers come in, you’ll review them and negotiate terms, such as price, contingencies, and closing date. Once you’ve accepted an offer, the closing process begins, including inspections, appraisals, and final paperwork. With everything in order, you'll hand over the keys and officially close the sale.
