Ruth Duance

Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Gary Greene -

Originally from England and a resident of the Houston area since 1998, Ruth Duance has made several international and local moves, so she certainly understands how stressful these times can be. But she is also aware how exciting and rewarding a move can be. Ruth is a realtor who loves her job, takes it very seriously and wants to help all her clients, whether tenants, landlords, buyers, sellers, or investors, have the smoothest move possible. Her work style is to “be there” for her clients through every step of their real estate journey and remain long after the transaction has closed. That is why one friend calls her “WIT” because she believes Ruth will do “Whatever It Takes” to get a deal done! For example, there was the time Ruth helped a client clean a home before the moving truck arrived because the scheduled cleaners did not show up. On another occasion, she spent hours in the county clerk’s office searching records to prove that a lien against one of her sellers was incorrect and had been mistakenly misfiled against her client instead of the correct party who had a similar name. On yet another, she waited in her clients’ home for furniture to be delivered when an emergency arose and being new to town, they did not have anyone else to turn to. Ruth will do whatever is in the best interest of her clients and make things flow. She also pledges to give each client equal attention whether it be for a lease or a multimillion-dollar listing. Her hope is that at the end of the transaction, her name will be the one her clients remember when someone asks, “Do you know a great Realtor?” If that happens, she will feel she has done her job well! Ruth shares a philosophy learned from her mother that she passes on to clients even now. That is, you will know if a house will be a lovely home the minute you walk in. If it does not feel right then, it will not get better the longer you stay. It is an attitude that has served her and her buyers very well. Away from the office, Ruth and her husband, David, married since 1985, are proud parents to their grown children and now grandparents to their first grandchild. She also loves to travel with her family whenever possible.
