Cori's professionalism and attention to details was exceptional. This was a difficult process since we were 8 hours away from our future home. It was quite challenging because of issues we had with our buyer. Cori was patient with our frantic phone calls. He did a great job!

I have worked with Cori and his team for years being a Realtor. Cori is a Referral Partner of mine for my clients but this one was a personal purchase. Certainly a "different" perspective being a client and the agent. Cori, Amie and Stacey are AMAZING to work with and I am happy to know FIRST hand my clients are being taken care of as well when I refer The Drudge Team @Ruoff! Thanks to everyone that made it happen! Amy Corey

I’ve worked with Cori Drudge at Ruoff Mortgage to buy and sell all three of my homes over the past 12 years, and he continues to be my go-to partner for every mortgage need. Cori communicates clearly, responds quickly, and is always professional while still being personable — he truly knows his stuff. He’s helped me through everything from a refinance to a tight buy/sell timeline, walking me through each option so I could make confident decisions. I ask a lot of questions, and he never tires of answering them in a way that helps me understand what’s happening, what’s expected, and when. That level of care and clarity gives me real peace of mind, especially during such a stressful process. Buying and selling a home can be overwhelming, but having someone like Cori (and his great team) in your corner makes all the difference. I trust him completely and will always recommend him to anyone looking for a mortgage professional who truly partners with you every step of the way.

I consider myself extremely lucky to have been introduced to Cori and his team when the opportunity struck to purchase my home. From the first conversation, Cori was confident and helpful and went above and beyond to align me to pursue the purchase. From there, the service remained second-to-none and a daunting process became a fun experience with the daily updates from him and his team. Amie was exceptionally kind and matched my excitement the day of closing. Based on my experience I'd recommend Cori and his team to anyone who's curious about buying a home and I hope they receive the recognition they deserve for their amazing service.
