Omar Ruano went above and beyond to help us buy our house. We had a very tight window to submit an offer and needed to move quickly. Omar negotiated on our behalf and somehow made the stars align!

The decision to sale my home was by far the hardest decision I had to make. It was the first home I ever purchased and lived for several years.I loved my neighborhood and my home was my pride and joy.

After multiple interviews with prospective Realtors®, I had been refer...

As first time home buyers coming off a Real Estate Agent that we felt didn't fit our needs, my fiancée and I were a bit hesitant starting over with a new agent for our home-buying experience. I had found Omar through my credit union's Homebuyers Advantage program and we decided to take a chance on him in the hopes that he would not only assist us in our endeavor to own a home but also to guide and advise...

When my wife and I were ready to sell our house, we knew exactly who we wanted as our Realtor®. That Realtor® is Omar Ruano.

It has been our pleasure to be served by Omar as our selling agent. Our home was listed as a short sale.
