Do you look at real estate for fun? Do you love browsing to see what houses are available and what the housing market is like? Do you daydream about the perfect house you want to live in one day? If your answer is yes, then we have those traits in common! I have had a passion and interest in the real estate world for as long as I can remember. While my life has lead me down many different paths, I have finally (and very happily) made my move into real estate. I have been lucky enough to live in the Houston area since 1972. In all of these years, I have seen countless communities transform from unknown, small towns to large communities that eventually become part of the city of Houston. This growth is so incredible to see and I can't wait to help you in this adventure.

Buying or renting a home is a very personal and exciting time and you need someone you can trust. I genuinely care about people and helping them find what works best for them. I can't wait to help you find exactly what you are looking for.

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’s also aware of how exciting and rewarding a move can be, as when she and her family moved to The Woodlands in 2004!

Ruth is a Realtor who loves her job, takes it very seriously and wants to help all of 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’s 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 didn’t 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 didn’t have anyone else to turn to.

Clearly, 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 multi-million dollar listing. Her hope is that at the end of the transaction, her name will be the one 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 good home the minute you walk in. If it doesn't feel right then, it won't get better the longer you stay. It's 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.

They believe the most important contribution they can give their real estate clients is to listen to their needs, advise them of all the important facets of a real estate transaction, and guide them through the process. Developing client relationships is important to them and they go above and beyond for their clients. They promise to offer their clients the most professional and personalized service to get their clients the results they want.
