Jeff Ruff

REALTOR®

(30 reviews)

About Jeff

Jeff was licensed in 1990 joining Brunner Realtors after spending a number of years operating an exclusive men’s clothing store in German Village and later in Downtown Columbus. As a lifelong resident of Columbus, Jeff has a great reputation working with clients relocating to Central Ohio helping them to understand neighborhoods along with highlights of Columbus including the arts, restaurants and an extensive list of service providers needed to get settled in a new city. Also, when looking in Columbus’ historic neighborhoods, no one has a better understanding of the history that makes these areas so special. Beyond this, Jeff has gained a reputation for representing unique and historic properties throughout the Central Ohio area. Besides loving representing sellers and buyers, Jeff’s other passion is horses!!! After living in German Village for over 25 years, Jeff and his life partner, Roy, made the move to a small farm on the northern edge of New Albany pursuing his passion of raising, training and showing his horses at hunter/jumper shows throughout the Midwest. This has also given him the unique opportunity to find properties for those who share his passion for horses. Jeff is also a member of Rocky Fork Headley Hunt and donates regularly to organizations who bring therapeutic interactions with horses to kids with special needs or behavioral issues including Dreams on Horseback and PBJ Connections along with others. To say that Jeff is a true animal lover would be an understatement as many who know him appreciate!!!

About Emily

For Emily Ahlering, real estate is about both client and agent relationships and the art of the deal. After graduating from Miami of Ohio, Emily moved to Chicago and spent several years working in hospitality and sales. In the Spring of 2015, she decided to pursue a career in Real Estate and joined Mandel Residential of @properties. Emily’s quick study and likeminded business approach allowed the team to exceed all expectations and build a business entirely based on referrals and repeat clients. Emily is still highly connected to her Chicago network and real estate team. In 2022, after having their son, Emily and her family decided to move back to her hometown of Columbus. She is thrilled to join Cutler and the Vutech | Ruff team. Emily’s attention to detail and experience managing many moving parts has made real estate a natural fit. An attentive listener, she thoroughly comprehends all of the different needs of her clients and works to get the results they need. With a particular interest and eye for design, she is able to assist her clients to curate spaces that maximize their dollar if selling, and envision their dream space if they are purchasing.

Fantastic experience!

We can’t give enough praise to Marilyn for making the sale of our home as smooth as possible. Right from the start, Marilyn was personable, communicative, and knowledgeable. She had in-depth knowledge and connections that helped to make the sale. Our house had a full price offer even before it hit the market! We are so appreciative of all Marilyn’s hard work and professionalism. She’s Tops in our book!

Appreciate the candor & knowledge

Jeff is great with his knowledge, responsiveness and candor. I know he can do his job in his sleep, so I feel confident in the information he was providing. The only major difference in opinion was on how to prepare our house for sale. Although we did not follow his advice to a T, we felt pressured to do so. His recommendations and the parties to prepare the house would have cost $20K, and in our opinion, we would have never recouped that money in the sale.

Marilyn is simply the best.

Marilyn is the only realtor that I have found worthy of my respect. She and Vutech Ruff are on top of every detail, and she provides great advice. I have used Marilyn to sell for houses for parties related to me, and I have also referred her to many others who have equally raved about their experiences.

Very knowledgeable of the market

Marilyn knew the German Village market really well. She was very quickly able to match what we were looking for with the right properties, so that we were able to find our home in a matter of a few weeks. The negotiation and purchase process was seamless and easy. Would definitely recommend Vutech Ruff!
