    Stephen is knowledgeable, thorough, and courteous. Works with a customer first attitude. Stephen was quick to get us clarification and made himself available to personally guide us through the process. All actions requiring follow up or intervention, whether it was his responsibility or not, were handled professionally and with a sense of urgency. Would recommend Stephen 10 out of 10 times.

    Very personable and understood our situation, tried to get everything done quickly in the tight me crunch we were in. That was impressive to me to go above and beyond.

    Stephen was absolutely fantastic. We could not have asked for a better loan officer to help us. He was able to answer all our questions and give us numerous options to fit our budget! Such a wonderful experience.

    Stephen was excellent loan officer and walked us through every step. Any questions I had he was quick to respond. He went above and beyond what he needed to do to get our closing done. I would highly recommend using Stephen and Ruoff!

    We don’t close on time without Stephen and the incredible effort he put in. Communication was fantastic. I’ve never had a good experience with a loan officer until this purchase. There were so many internal and external pressures complicating this purchase: condensed timeframe, physical distance, medical, a pain in the neck seller, Tesla. A million things could have derailed it and Stephen handled everything so that it went well. Absolutely amazing. My family, and myself, are incredibly grateful.
