Stow Branch: Going Above and Beyond

Our Stow Branch joined the Ruoff family in July 2017, and currently are one of our "young" teams with only 18 years of combined mortgage origination experience. 

However, don't let that fool you - they've doubled their production since joining Ruoff. In the past 12 months, they've helped 115 families realize their dream of homeownership. They are bringing that go-getter attitude straight into 2020 and plan to do even more in the coming year.

Community Involvement

The Stow Branch is heavily involved in their community. For instance, they volunteer at the Akron-Canton Regional Food Bank where they invite the help of their friends, families, colleagues, and sponsors. 

Last year, as an office, they competed in the Dragonboat Races in Portage Lakes near Akron. All the proceeds from this race are donated to benefit cancer research. Our Stow team made it to the finals for the first time in their history of competing! Rowing is much harder than it looks, but they certainly look good out there! 

Every year, they also sponsor the Choo Choo Chow Chow event, which donates proceeds to the Children's Free Care Fun in NE Ohio. They also donate their time to the Kidney Foundation of Ohio by helping out for their events in Downtown Akron. 

They also like to treat their customers and referral partners to fun events, which has always included the RubberDucks games where they are both sponsors and fans! They have had 3 Realtor events at Canal Park this year, and customer appreciation events with affiliate partners like ReMax. 

What Their Clients Have to Say

"Lori kept her promises. Every step of the way, Lori would say that she would do this by then or she would contact me whenever. Whatever it was that she said, she did. It was all around an extremely pleasing experience. Especially for our first time buying a home. You just did better than I could have ever dreamed." - Kris M, happy client

"Adam was extremely attentive and informative. We never had to wonder what was happening. We also saw that he communicated with our agent." - Doug J, happy client
