TESTIMONIALS

Gary Blackburn

Sandy got me a great price for my condo in a market that I felt was reaching its limit. She was great about communicating with me on a regular basis with updates throughout the process and was very responsive to any questions or concerns I had during escrow. She really knows the area and her experience helped me remain calm.

We have known Sandy & Richard Rutter, initially as the agents from whom we bought the property 20 years ago. There was never any questions that they would be our choice to sell the property when we chose to do so due to their command of the business, their dominance in that marketplace, and that they are two prime human beings with compassion, vast experience, & a care of their clients that is without peer!

I don't think I have enough paper to express our gratitude for everything you've done for us over the years. You always go the extra mile & then some! Living so far away, we simply could not have gotten through the sale of our condo without your personal & extremely professional help. With all the unforeseen complications & emotional difficulties that arose, you went way beyond what could be expected of any realtor. No matter how complicated the situation became, you were always there with professional guidance, encouragement & emotional support. Even being present at odd hours to handle circumstances that did not fall under your job description. I cannot imagine a more knowledgeable, caring or cheerful team to do business with, & count you among our dearest friends. I have always felt that angels cross our paths in life & you have certainly been our angels through a very stressful time!

Curtis Kauffman-Pickelle

Mary & I would like to thank you for the extremely professional & efficient job you did in selling our home in The Colony. It was a fabulous place & we will greatly miss it. However, the fact that you were able to quickly get it sold has definitely helped us to alleviate the anxiety associated with leaving. Your enthusiasm for your career made it an especially pleasant experience all around & your attention to detail was reassuring. Your knowledge of The Colony was also extremely helpful. I would highly recommend you to anyone considering listing or buying.

I want to express my appreciation for all that you have done for me both in the purchase of my condo & the recent sale of it. I am an elderly woman & trusted your guidance, dedication, professionalism & personal care that you gave my family & myself. When my daughter first met you, she told me how excited she was to find agents that were so caring. The two of you really go the extra mile for your clients. Every detail is attended to from beginning to end. You made both transactions effortless. My family & I want to wish you . good luck in the future. Please feel free to give anyone my number, as I will be delighted to tell them all about THE DREAM TEAM!

Ann, Bob & Kate Jacobsen

Thank you so much for making the recent sale of our home in The Colony so easy. We were under considerable time constraints & needed to react quickly. As usual, you anticipated our every need, never overlooked a single detail, & made sure that our experience was top notch all the way. All while making it feel stress free & effortless. We would never consider using another realtor for our relocation needs. Indeed-we haven't! We truly feel you represent the best in the business-superior knowledge & service, & always with a smile. You deliver what you promise.

Sandy & Richard are exceptional. Over the past 3 years we have completed several transactions with them. They provide great service & are a tremendous asset to your company.

Bill & Sherron Blowers

Now that we have finally gotten moved in & settled in our new town house, the time has come to express our sincere thanks, gratitude & admiration for the two of you. In the past 6 months you have been a significant part of our lives. We sold one condo & bought another. In both cases, all parties were well represented, all were pleased with sales terms, conditions, & amounts & escrows were handled in a very short order with no hassles or glitches. You were there for us numerous times after he sale as we worked with 7 contractors, unlocking doors, handling paper work, making recommendations, chasing down details, inspection work & doing all of it quickly with a smile & a word of encouragement & without a complaint. Through it all there was always a genuine concern for our well being & welfare. We could not have done it without your hands on help. We have bought & sold many homes over the years & have worked with some very good agents, but none of the caliber of you two. You are the best & your deserve all of the accolades & success that you have achieved. You got there the old fashioned way, you worked for it! We recommend you to anyone interested in selling or buying in The Colony or beach area. They say there are three important things in real estate/ LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! At The Colony in Oxnard there is a fourth, SANDY & RICHARD RUTTER!

John Edwards

We recently purchased a townhome in The Colony, This transaction was somewhat complicated & time sensitive in that we also sold two units in The Colony as a part of a triple escrow. The deal was time sensitive because the offer was contingent upon the sale of our two units & the owner of the townhome was understandably concerned with accepting a double contingency offer. As it turned out there was no need for concern: Sandy & Richard sold both of our existing homes in one week, delivering on their promise far ahead of schedule. Sandy & Richard's attention to detail assured that all parties needs & expectations were met along the way. The one-acre of space in this letter will not allow me to list of the things that Sandy & Richard did in order to facilitate this transaction. They were not only consummate professionals representing both seller & buyers; they were good friends to all. On the final closing day, I arrived at my sold home to find Sandy helping my family pack wardrobe boxes. She understood the stress & strain of moving two households in one day & arrived to help, not as our Realtor, but as our neighbor. After talking with others who have dealt with THE RUTTERS, I learned that our experience was not unique. It is no mystery to those of us living here why Sandy & Richards signs are ubiquitous throughout The Colony. In closing I would recommend Sandy & Richard Rutter without reservation to anyone seeking to employ a REAL ESTATE TEAM to sell or acquire a home in The Colony.

Marc & Lori Hoffman

Sandy & Richard Rutter are "a dream team come true." They have represented our family in the purchase of several properties in The Colony over the last few years. Their skilled professionalism in the sales & purchasing process , knowledge of real estate laws & attention to detail are exemplary. The entire process of "paper work" was easy, efficient & went beyond our expectations of being hassle free. This year, when we decided to sell our Colony property & buy another, their friendly smiles & outstanding efforts were at the forefront. Honesty, sincerity & integrity are their modes of conduct, which have been greatly appreciated. We trust their advice & referrals. We continue to be extremely happy Colony residents. Sandy & Richard go beyond being traditional real estate agents, representing all that is great about The Colony. With respect & gratitude, we openly thank Sandy & Richard.

Michael and Kimberly Abram

Sandy Rutter is a consummate professional realtor. She has helped us purchase and sell two properties. The most recent was the easiest and least stressful real estate transaction ever. You will be well served and get the best options for your transaction if you utilize the Rutters for your real estate needs.

Jeff Woolever

It had been many years since we sold a property with a real estate agent. My memory of that time was one of high stress and very little communication with the agent. The Rutters were very professional and kept the line of communication open. They showed a positive attitude throughout the process and explained every step as it happened. Our property sold during a difficult time of year for a very good price. Thank you to the Rutter team they are a 5 star group.

Kim

This was by far the easiest home purchase ever! Rob and Sandy found what we wanted and were on top of all the paperwork and details the whole way through. Every little question or concern had a quick answer or resolution. I can’t believe buying a weekend getaway was so fast and simple and worry free.

Tim Gray

Wow! The Rutters were amazing. This was the fastest and smoothest home-buying experience we have ever had. Every detail was taken care of. Any issue that came up, someone was on it and working on it quickly. The process was well explained and made very easy. They worked with the sellers and got us access to the property several times and were there to walk us through what to look out for and what to get fixed. The Rutters made the process as simple and enjoyable as possible. Highly recommend them to any home buyer or investor.

Dave Haas

I loved dealing with the Rutters! They are very experienced and went the extra mile for us.

Bob and Sarah Mann

It was a pleasure working with you on the purchase of our condominium in The Colony at Mandalay Beach.
Your expertise in the location and your guidance throughout the process was much appreciated.
You handled our purchase with professionalism and a personal touch. We highly recommend you to anyone who is looking for their next home.

Gary Schein

They were amazing, so helpful and supportive. Our parents had lived in the home for 30 plus years and both had recently passed. We sold the house and the buyers wanted a 30-day escrow. There are so many "normal" things that needed to be done, plus we needed to clear out 30 years of our parents "stuff". They were so helpful and supportive, coordinated all of the inspections and follow up and communicated so well. It was such a pleasure, I have sold many houses in the past, and never had this kind of wonderful help and commitment from the previous agents I have used. I will definitely use them for our next sale or purchase.
