We sold our townhouse with Ruth. The home was on market for less than 2 weeks... In February! We were surprised at the amount of potential buyers interested in our home at this time of year.
We received more in our pockets than hoped for, and Ruth took care of all the fine details. We were kept in the loop every step of the way; from showings to realtor feedback and all our "what should we do next" questions. Ruth allowed for a very straightforward and simple process.
Ruth's nature is very open, friendly, and made us feel comfortable with all the things selling our home brought our way.
In a situation that you would expect to be stressful, our experience was just the opposite; completely worry free. We felt we were in great hands with Ruth and her knowledge of the Kelowna market. From the signing of the listing documents to the signing of the sold documents, we couldn't have picked a better Realtor.

Ruth and her team went above and beyond in her role to represent our most recent Real Estate transactions (selling one property and purchasing 2 others). Ruth's professionalism and results deserve our highest praise and have secured her as our RE agent going forward. ~MW

Ruth Lamb is by far the best real estate agent I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with in all my years of buying and selling properties both in Canada and the US. This lady exudes professionalism. I just cannot say how wonderful my experience with her has been. Ruth kept me informed on any and all levels of communications every step of the way without me having to chase after her with questions or concerns, no matter the hour of the day or night. She made me feel as if I was the most important person in her life. Nothing was ever too much trouble for her ; and as a business owner myself, this gave me great confidence and faith in her skills. Ruth’s negotiating skills by far, top the charts. Even in this uncertain real estate market today, she never once during the listing ever suggested I lower my asking price. Should I ever have the need to engage with a real estate agent In the future, Ruth will absolutely be my ‘go to’ professional.

Ruth Lamb was very professional, knew the market exceptionally well and was and excellent negotiator. She works hard for her clients and got considerably more money for the property than what we expected. All in all, an exceptional experience and I very much enjoyed working with Ruth on the sale of this property.

Great service , always on time , was able to answer any and all questions, upfront about all costs and pitfalls. Never had to waite for any replys to either phone or emails. Did whatever it takes to make the process go smoothly.

I was totally pleased with Ruth Lamb and her efficient assistance Maya. From the beginning, Ruth gave an overview of her marketing strategy for my condo, and the prevailing market conditions and assured me I would enjoy transparency throughout the sales process. This was certainly my experience. From the professional photographer to the many and varied advertisements, I was kept informed of every step. In a slow market period, I had expected the eventual sale would be protracted. But this agent has connections far and wide. We only had one potential buyer in the first week and early in the second week Ruth's online ad brought buyers from Eastern Canada who quickly negotiated a sale. To top this, Ruth was instrumental in facilitating a near-turnkey sale. The buyers are interested in furnishings I don't take to a significantly downsized retirement living accommodation. It's hard for me to believe my real-estate agent went beyond the call of duty to put this deal together. Talk about the Wow Factor!

Ruth is patient, professional, knowledgeable, and quick to respond to any inquiry. We can't say enough positive things about our experience as Ruth's clients. The gift basket of homemade goods on our possession date is an example of how she goes above and beyond. We recommend Ruth to anyone who needs their realtor to be fighting in their corner.

Ruth was so lovely to work with! She gave us a lot of tips that helped us to prepare and stage our home, ultimately making it very inviting and appealing to all the buyers that came to view it. We were looking to sell our home asap so as soon as we were ready, she had a photographer in there and the listing was posted the next business day! She worked around our busy schedule of 2 kids (one being a newborn) to fit buyers in for showings. She was always in contact with us, reminding us of any and all showings for each day which was very helpful. She has a great sense of humour but she's professional and knowledgeable at the same time.

Having had experience previously working with Ruth on the sale of my Mother-in-laws house, it was an absolute to go with her again selling my Mom's house. Ruth is extremely knowledgeable and compassionate in understanding our situation. There are so many ways that she helped my Sister and myself, too many to list.

Ruth helped me so much!! As an out of town buyer she knew what I wanted and only sent me homes I would be interested in. When I’m town to do viewings, there was no time wasted and we found the perfect home. 10 yrs later I would recommend her ( my son bought and sold with her) and will ask her help again if downsizing. We LOVE Ruth
Holly Love

Yes, Ruth possesses all of the basic skills of a professional agent: knowledgeable, timely, excellent communicator, effective negotiator. What surprises is her unique understanding of us, as clients. She quickly connected us with properties that met our initial criteria. After our first showing, she commented, “This property will not work for you”, to which we agreed and appreciated. The next showing resulted in us making an offer. No messing around!
Bruce Clark

Ruth is a fantastic agent, and although she is the only agent I've worked with, from other peoples stories, Ruth stands out. She is communicative, supportive and encouraging during the whole process of selling our place and buying a new place. She also had good advice while prepping our house for sale and shopping for a new one and a good network of other professionals to draw upon.

Wendy Stewart
April 28, 2022
Ruth worked with us to both purchase and sell a home within the last 1.5 years. The level of service, care, knowledge, and responsiveness is absolutely unparalleled. It is very clear that her goal isn't to sell houses, but rather to find her client's a place to call home. She has always made us her priority, even when having to juggle a myriad of clients at once (given the intensity of the current market). We never felt rushed during the purchase/selling process, and she ensured that we had all the tools and information needed for finding a place/price that was right for us. It was truly a pleasure working with Ruth and we cannot recommend her enough.

In 2018 my husband John and I were looking for a permanent home and we had to find one quickly. Fortunately we found Ruth Lamb who listened to what we needed and proceeded to help us purchase our home without any issues. When John passed away, I decided I needed a new start and didn't hesitate to call Ruth. Because of Ruth's experience and dedication to her clients, my home was sold in no time. Thank you Ruth for everything.

Ruth’s experience, patience and endless energy gave us the peace of mind needed to navigate this crazy market! Always there for a phone call or text any time of day.

Absolutely amazing. So kind, helpful, encouraging and realistic! She was mindful of our budget and made sure not to push us into anything that we wouldn’t be able to afford or be difficult on us financially. This market is absolutely nuts, but she fired through it, encouraged us, kept our expectations realistic. She was amazing. Highly recommend her!!!

My wife and I have used Ruth on several occasions now, and couldn't be happier for a choice of a realtor. She is the epitome of professionalism. There are many times where her thoroughness has brought to attention pivotal details that could make or break a deal; details that the slew of listing agents neglect to list, or are completely unaware of themselves. Respect, humor, and seemingly endless energy, have made her a joy to work with. We not hesitate to recommend her and her team.
Greg Hall

Ruth has been such a delight to work with! She's friendly and passionate about her job and quick to communicate with. She genuinely cares about her clients and does everything in her power to make the process as smooth as possible. We got to know her through family who's already bought and sold two homes through her and we'd all work with her again!

Ruth Lamb is truly a professional. From my initial contact to her for listing my property for sale she guided and advised me well for the best outcome. The process to list was done in a timely manner, being professional and appealing. Ruth informed me of the current market setting and advised me on an appropriate asking price. When listed there were a number of viewings as well as multiple offers when bidding closed. Ruth walked me through the pros and cons of each offer; we then agreed on the appropriate offer/buyer. The process for completion with the subjects off from the buyer was speedy and efficient. I was fully confident of Ruth’s expertise in the selling of my property. Very enjoyable to work with and a successful in the sale of my home. Thank you Ruth!

Ruth Lamb went beyond her expertise to handle and sort through a difficult multi home transaction and with her assistance, made the right decision to come out with the most return possible. She is very personable nature and expertise in the Real Estate field was invaluable and help us kept at ease. She always kept us posted and updated several times a day during the negotiations process. We absolutely received more than the expected Realtor expertise value and will no doubt recommend her for any future transaction and would recommend to our friends. At the end, she has become a good and very trusted personal friend for my wife and I.

My gosh, where to start?

Hands down, Ruth Lamb is my #1 Choice for a Realtor, 100%, zero hesitation.

I have worked with many different Realtors over my 20+ years of being a landlord, but since I met Ruth, I have not looked further. Her dedication, knowledge, experience and attention to detail put her miles above the rest.

She has a knack of getting into the heads of her clients and anticipates their every need, before you even have the thought. I trust her judgement implicitly.

From planning stages, to pricing, dealing with difficult tenants (and miraculously putting them at ease and getting their cooperation?!!!), she is a marvel. When I thought we were dead in the water on a past deal, she remained strong, encouraging, and brouth this deal to the finish line. Simply Amazing.

Ruth demonstrates patience and a sense of humour when dealing with otherwise very difficult and stressful people/situations, and trust me, I am not an ease client to please.

I would recommend Ruth to anyone who is buying or selling, as she is all heart and genuinely PASSIONATE about what she does. She lives and breathes this passion of hers, and it is evident in her track record, despite whether the market is "hot" (or not)!

This woman is the REAL THING. You do not need to look further, and if you are lucky enough to work with her, you will be rewarded 10 fold.

I could go on and on, but don't take my word. Give her a call today and see for yourself!

Ruth was so helpful throughout the whole process. I’m a new homebuyer and literally know nothing about anything do with home buying and she held my hand the whole way through! Thank you Ruth!

We were struggling to sell for various reasons, until our realtor sensibly brought in Ruth. She was a breath of fresh air with her enthusiasm and positivity that the house would sell. We were a little sceptical that it would sell as fast as she said it would, but it did. This was primarily due to Ruth's finger being on the pulse at all times. From initial meeting, to photos to constant communication, she was nothing short of brilliant. We will certainly use Ruth Lamb in any future property deals.

Ruth was caring and understanding when it came time for my mom to sell her home! My mom had moved away from Kelowna and Ruth met with me at our convenience as we also lived out of town. Her knowledge, preparation and time taken to go over comparable properties and advice on getting the home ready was really appreciated! I loved that she used my mom's furniture and decor, added a few other items, and her touch to make it all come together and feel inviting and comfortable. We met with Ruth several times before listing and she was very thorough with explaining how everything would work, even gave us example paperwork, as everything would be done over the phone and through e-mails. Ruth could not have been a better fit for us! A beautiful person and a great professional!

Absolutely outstanding realtor. Kind, knowledgeable, customer-focused and incredibly hard-working. It will take you only a few interactions to see that Ruth does her job with her clients’ happiness as a first priority. Incredibly patient and was willing to take us to as many houses as needed, even repeats and ones she knew we wouldn’t be interested in, all while still as enthusiastic and helpful as ever. Never pressured us into anything, and always made sure that we thought things through even when we got a bit excited. Makes the process so much easier than it can be as you know she has your best interest in mind. Whether you’re new to buying houses or you’re an experienced buyer, we couldn’t recommend Ruth enough.
Daniel Kreps
March 3, 2021
I have worked with many real estate agents through many house purchases, and estimate Ruth to be at the top of that group. First, the basics; she is beyond professional, incredibly knowledgeable about the properties she showed, the overall market, and the purchase process. She was a tiger for us in negotiations (she led us ably and was a strong advocate, steering us away from pitfalls we hadn't seen). In short, she is simply incredible in her craft. On top of that, what I cherish most about Ruth is her terrific sense of humour, her unfailingly good mood and patience, and her diplomatic yet direct honesty. She makes a stressful process less so, and she's a hoot to work with.

Ruth handled a difficult situation very well.....a tenant who initially did not want to permit showings because of Covid concerns. Luckily she had taken great photos and used this strength to promote the suite.

Ruth was incredible. This is our second time using Ruth and we have recommended her to family and friends. She is easy to work with and is happy to guide you through your sale or purchase (we used her once for each). What I appreciate most about Ruth is that she listens and works with you to achieve a great result. We found her to be very professional and knowledgeable and I can say that she really goes the extra mile and ensures a smooth transition. I also found that she will employ professionals (photographer/ etc) that really provide the results for selling/ staging. WE will definitely use Ruth again in the future.

We chose Ruth after reading her other reviews and she truly is outstanding. Since we were relocating and had no knowledge of the area, Ruth was patient with us as we considered the various areas between Kelowna and Lake Country. Our questions were answered in a timely manner even though she was busy handling other clients.
Ruth is a professional negotiator and will do her best whether you are buying or selling.

Ruth was knowledgeable and helpful in assisting us in finding the right home. She was patient over a period of over the 9 months it took us to make the final decision and very skillful in obtaining what we believe is a good, competitive price for the property. She has been both an advisor and friend in working through some challenging economic circumstances (i.e. covid19 related) over the past 4 months. Ruth is a very hard-working, ethical salesperson whom I would recommend without any hesitation.

Ruth Lamb was absolutely superb in providing detailed knowledge and in a professional manner. The trait that I most admired was her honesty and trustworthy approach to her client. Never did I feel there was a “snow job” just to get a listing or sale. There was just a really good feel for our relationship and trust, which made the whole process so easy to proceed. If and when we need real estate advice or services, she will be in our corner. Great realtor!!
Jim Juba

Ruth is very honest, forthright and knowledgeable. Her main attribute is her very pleasant personality. She asked what price we thought our home should sell at and she had the same price written down to recommend to us. This was determined by comparing other properties with similar characteristics. We trust Ruth! Loved working with her and would do so again.

Ruth Lamb did an excellent job helping us sell our home. She is caring, honest and most definitely a knowledgeable realtor. Ruth was the go between for us when dealing with the Strata documents and worked through it all without any problems.
Ruth was the one that sold us our house when we first bought it and was so amazing to work with there was no question as to who we wanted to go through this process once again. Our house sold over the course of a couple months meaning we had to find a new place quickly. Ruth did everything in her power to provide us with potential homes for a five-person family.
Ruth clearly cares about every one of her clients and tries to make the transition for them as smoothly as possible.

We were selling a house and buying a condo to down size. Also starting a new life together and so moving from two homes into one.
Ruth is the best of the best as a real estate agent. She was patient and kept us both in the picture at all times.
Working with Ruth, we sold the house in four days and bought the condo in four days.
We both would very highly recommend Ruth Lamb for your real estate needs.

If you want someone who has your best interests at heart, and who can navigate through the most difficult of situations in a timely and professional manner, I would strongly recommend Ruth Lamb. Her level of expertise and professionalism goes above and beyond what you would expect from a realtor. This lady knows her business and is a creative problem solver. I have several rental properties, and selling a tenant-occupied property is complicated at best. She sold one of my rental homes in record time, and was also extremely knowledgeable and helpful in negotiating "middle ground" with some rather uncooperative tenants. With high stress levels, grumpy clients and a heavy work load, Ruth still somehow manages to keep a level head, positive attitude, and remain focused on the end goal of win/win. I also recently had a family estate property to sell, and she was instrumental in dealing with all the complexities that go with such a task. No matter what your needs, if you are selling/buying your principal residence, or a commercial/rental property, Ruth remains undaunted and up for any challenge! She always returns phone calls or texts in a timely manner, and is never too busy to listen and offer creative solutions if difficult situations arise. Ruth has an abundance of passion for what she does, and despite being in such high demand she somehow still genuinely takes the time to get to know her clients' needs. She is extremely intuitive, and can anticipate solutions to potential problems before we are even aware of them at times! If I want to sell a home, regardless of whether it is a rental property or my principal residence, Ruth is the person I want in the driver's seat. She is simply is a great choice to meet all of your real estate needs. ....Not to mention giving the best, most creative and thoughtful gift baskets ever!!! Sincerely, Caroline

Ruth always keeps me in the loop with what is going on with the sale/purchase. She knows how to work things (in this case a short time that the offer was open and a short possession time) so that we are able to achieve what we had wanted.

Looking for outstanding? Ruth just sold my Mom's hard-to-sell condo. We couldn't be more impressed. Ruth offers information and advice based on market research; artful staging and promotional photos; excellent communications and effective negotiations. Colleen Wilson

Ruth was very helpful in her advice. She was very prompt in delivering the information i needed. She kept me up to date with all the negotiations in a very timely manner.

Ruth has been a very reliable and trustworthy realtor. She always tried to think in my shoes and provided helpful answers. On top of her knowledge and professionalism, her positive and warm energy made the house hunting process much smoother. Without her assistance, my house hunting journey would have been tremendously difficult and I would definitely refer her to my friends.

We found Ruth to be knowledgeable and very reliable. She is friendly and we enjoyed working with her. Ruth was referred to us by a friend and we would definitely refer her to others!

Ruth was always professional and very knowledgeable about the current market. We followed her advice on the listing price as well as when negotiating, which resulted in a sale whilst other properties in the neighbourhood have still not sold. She made the process seamless and effortless. I can strongly recommend Ruth and would love to work with her again.

Ruth is very knowledgeable and motivated! She was a pleasure to work with. We felt very well taken care and informed during this process of trying to sell our home. She did it!

Ruth was great to work with. She heard what we wanted and worked with us to achieve it. When we listed our house, she was very helpful in staging our place and gave us tips on how to improve our showings. Then when we were purchasing our home, she was amazing with the paperwork and what we needed to have. She was on top of anything and worked long hours for us. My husband and I feel that we could not have asked for a better realtor and appreciate all she has done.

Ruth was pivotal in the sale of our house. She was up against a slowing market, a house that had been on the market for about 5-6 months already, and the slow season of the year. She helped us with the staging (adding a number of her own personal touches from her home), always kept us in the loop for anything that was going on behind the scenes, had strategies and answers to all of our questions throughout the whole process, and had great connections that gave us the best chance of exposure. In the end our house sold for more than asking - what more can a seller ask for?? Thanks very much Ruth!

As a older nervous buyer, Ruth was very patient, and walked me thru a lot of the trauma in buying a home. Her warm hugs when she saw me, were always appreciated. I am very grateful to her, and will recommend her to others. Sometimes when one has been thru a lot of trauma, e.g. the death of a husband, we need a person like Ruth.

The selling of our property was difficult as the house belonged to my elderly mother. I was listed on the property as joint owner but this was my mothers home for many years which compounded the stress for her and the rest of the family. Ruth provided excellent professional information and kept in close contact with both my mother and myself. Ruth was so supportive to my mother, very patient and understanding and made many extra visits to assist and support her. Ruth also facilitated the move of moms furniture as I live out to town and therefore it was difficult to be there for all the many pieces involved in the selling of a large home. both my mother and myself appreciate Ruth's help and extra TLC. Everything went smoothly, our house was well priced and we were happy for mother's sake that it sold quickly Thanks Ruth!!

This was the second time we used Ruth as our realtor. Ruth made sure she fully understood what was needed in the place we were looking for. She kept us well informed so we were able to make good decisions. When it came to the negotiation she always knew how to support the offer to come across in a professional manner. Ruth always listened to us and we felt she was very approachable. Ruth continued to represent us after possession when a few issues arose, until it was resolved to our satisfaction.

We have dealt with a few real estate agents in our time and I can truly say Ruth Lamb was the best. We recommend her to anyone who is looking to sell or buy as she did both for us and we were beyond pleased. She also found a house for our daughter and son-in-law and our grandson and is still working with our daughter on finding a new home. You will not be disappointed if you chose her as your agent.

Ruth Lamb knows her stuff!! She helped my family and I through the whole process of selling our condo — from beginning to end. Not only was she an awesome realtor, she also made us feel like she was a good friend, who helped us every step of the way!! She is very good at communicating and answering questions and concerns we had. She also was able to bring to our attention things that we hadn’t thought of ourselves — and the solutions. I highly recommend her.

I have been involved with several real estate transactions in the past and I would rate Ruth at the top of the list for realtors. I was extremely pleased with Ruth. Her level of communication was exceptional. She was very detailed and made the process very easy. I would highly recommend her for anyone new or experienced in buying and selling a home.

Ruth Lamb is energetic, knowledgeable, and great communicator when it comes to selling our home. Our concerns were her concerns. Her negotiating skills with the other agents were top notch and we always knew and felt she was on our side making the best deal for us that was possible. Her staging kills and buyer interests were helpful and her photography skills got the job done! In addition, she was available to us when we needed to talk and find out information as we felt needed. I would recommend Ruth Lamb to anyone who was looking for an excellent Real estate agent.

Ruth came into our lives in November 2017 as our rental drama began to unfold, very little time to relocate and nowhere to go. We decide our only option was to bite the bullet and buy. Ruth to the rescue. Initially, Ruth left all the leg work to her assistant, Jessica, who was very accommodating and helpful, but no Ruth? Once we made our first contact with Ruth and our desires were matched up, things took off fairly quickly. We ended up with a home close to what were looking for at the price we were able to handle. Most of the business end of the transaction went very smoothly (except for one minor hiccup regarding the deck) which I don't really fault Ruth on.

Life goes on, problem solved! We were very happy with all aspects of dealing with Ruth.

The gift basket on possession of our home was a nice touch, very professional!

Ruth is a gem amongst the masses of realtors. She surprised me at every turn. She demonstrated her concerned for my well being beyond the sale pf my home in that she was adamant I had a place to reside (a plan) before we put the house on the market. She is savvy about the trends of the market and it showed in her strategy for the sale of my particular home. The skill with which Ruth staged my house for the sale was so good, I almost did not want to sell! Her knowledge and hard work coupled with integrity made me feel taken care of as though I was family. If you are looking for an honest, industry intelligent, caring realtor whos work ethic is superb, you will do yourself the best by choosing Ruth Lamb. I have the highest regard for her and recommend her with ease.

I was very grateful for Ruth's support through the whole process, from beginning to end. She was present invested and respectful of the dynamics of the marriage separation and all the difficult negotiating that that brought to the situation. It was a delightful surprise at the end of the whole process to see her negotiate and get a final price that was higher than I expected. Ruth has made what could have been a very difficult process, smooth and has been a tremendous help at a personal level in this big transition in my life. I am very grateful.

Ruth’s style is very relaxed, supportive and patient. She’s interested in helping people find a home they love and is willing to support them in a longer searching process if that’s what’s needed to make the purchase successful. While she openly offers her observations and experience for the buyer to consider, she’s disinclined to push people into purchasing something they aren’t convinced they want as she’s clear that the buyer is the one who has to live with the choice. She’s quick to respond to questions and requests, thorough in completing tasks and has a good rapport with other trades and services involved in the house purchase process. She has a great sense of humour!

Ruth has been great to work with in all aspects of the house purchasing process. Even in a busy market, she always made sure we could view new listings as they came on the MLS, and helped us to look past some of the overwhelming aspects of looking at others' homes to get to the heart of whether or not it would work for us. She is cheerful and non-judgemental. She responds promptly to all of my communication and is very knowledgeable about things we should look into. She was able to guide us through the process of going into a multiple offer situation that got us the house we wanted. We would highly recommend her!

Ruth Lamb was most professional and personable. She made us feel confident and comfortable in our real estate purchase. She was also very pleasant and enjoyable to chat to and work with. In a time where punctuality and reliability are hard to find Ruth responded to all of our emails and phone calls as quickly as can be expected. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ruth to all family, friends and acquaintances for any real estate needs. She will be the first person we will call for any future real state needs.

This was our first home-buying experience - From our first meeting with Ruth through to the date we moved in, she was absolutely fabulous. Extremely knowledgeable and personable, we both felt an instant connection with Ruth and knew that she understood what we were looking for in our first home. Her resources for listings were excellent and on our home viewing sessions she was able to point out things to think about in each property relating to our wants/needs. In the end we purchased a home that was still in the development phase, therefore unfortunately there was limited room for negotiations on the price. Ruth was wonderful in dealing with the developer, their real estate team and us - always providing us assistance or advice in a timely manner. She came to us highly recommended, and I will highly recommend her to anyone in the Kelowna/Lake Country area as well. Ruth is an absolute gem in the real estate world!

Ruth is the hardest working, most effective, and most professional real estate agent I have every worked with. She is enthusiastic, smart, savvy, attentive and supportive. She has helped me both sell and purchase homes (ore than once) and has truly represented me in every transaction. I highly recommend Ruth....her engaging personality quickly puts you at ease and she has your best interests at heart. I wouldn't think twice about recommending Ruth...an excellent agent, and person.

We asked three realtors to give us the service they would provide for us and we felt confident to go with Ruth Lamb and glad we did. She served us well from staging, reading the market and getting a price much higher than we expected. She had a buyer in 4 days. We would use Ruth again.

Ruth is a wonderful, compassionate person. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and up beat personality sold our property in an amazing short time. Ruth always had my questioned answered with no hesitation, and provided more information that gave me confidence with every decision. Ruth, I will never forget my experience with you and you will be the first on my list when I sell or buy again. Thank you so much!

My husband and I really enjoyed working with Ruth. We found that she was extremely knowledgeable (not only as a real estate agent but she has done full home remodels herself and made thoughtful suggestions). There are three main reasons that I really enjoyed working with her:
1. As the home we purchased had been a long term rental, she suggested and put in our contract that we could do a final walk through just prior to possession as the tenant was moving out. This was extremely beneficial as the place had been left dirty and items (curtain rods) had been removed leaving damaged walls and there was also move out damage done to the ceilings. Ruth worked quickly to negotiate a purchase price reduction to satisfy the damage that we had to repair and also had the existing owner send in cleaners to tidy up the mess left.
2. I found that she was respectful of space, meaning .... she gave us space for private discussions between my husband and myself, when we discussed the home that we had just seen she would quietly wait until we were finished and then offer some comments (price, if she thought that the price could be negotiated, negative and positives that we might not have considered).
3. Her negotiation skills ... she was amazing!! I do not know if it was because we had reasonable pricing goals or what, but she worked within our price range and got us an amazing deal on a home, and then negotiated a little more.

I have purchased homes before and she is the best Real Estate Agent that I have every worked with. I would highly recommend Ruth to any prospective buyer or seller as Ruth really works hard to make her client's happy. I have already recommended her services personally to friends.

Ruth was amazing! We SO enjoyed working with her while selling our home. She was in our corner the whole way through, she went above and beyond and made our experience smooth and enjoyable.

Ruth is an extremely upbeat and personable lady. Having lived in our area of Lake Country, she is knowledgeable and keen to share her enthusiasm to potential homebuyers. When we were unable to be present to prepare for showings, Ruth took it upon herself to make sure the house was presentable. I would highly recommend Ruth Lamb as your agent.

Ruth Lamb supported us in the successful sale of two properties and the purchase of one condo. We appreciate and value her integrity and perseverance. She is dedicated to the best interests of her client's and gave us frank helpful advice that made our real estate transactions profitable and easy. You will safely benefit by choosing Ruth to support you in your sale or purchase.

We sold our townhouse with Ruth. The home was on market for less than 2 weeks... In February! We were surprised at the amount of potential buyers interested in our home at this time of year.
We received more in our pockets than hoped for, and Ruth took care of all the fine details. We were kept in the loop every step of the way; from showings to realtor feedback and all our "what should we do next" questions. Ruth allowed for a very straightforward and simple process.
Ruth's nature is very open, friendly, and made us feel comfortable with all the things selling our home brought our way.
In a situation that you would expect to be stressful, our experience was just the opposite; completely worry free. We felt we were in great hands with Ruth and her knowledge of the Kelowna market. From the signing of the listing documents to the signing of the sold documents, we couldn't have picked a better Realtor.
