Review 1 (2019-07-03 - Rating: 5)
When we made the decision to sell our almost 4000sqft home and downsize to a 2000sqft home, the decision did not come easy. As empty nesters, we wanted something much smaller, closer to the current home we were going to sell and in a great neighborhood; Ruth and Chris made the process a lot less stressful for us.We interviewed 5 different realtors and Ruth and Chris were by far the best. Their strategy for selling our home, buying a new home and doing both within a time frame where we can move from one house to the next, without having to use a storage unit, couldnt have been executed more soundly.The process did not come without its hiccups but Ruth and Chris mitigated all issues with a cool head and with a rapid response. In the end we are in our forever home and are looking forward to many years in our new neighborhood and since we are still nearby our old neighbors, we get to share our new memories with them as well.I highly recommend Ruth and Chris to anybody who is looking to sell or buy a home. In my opinion, they are the best realtor team in Houston! -

The Ruth/Chris team went above and beyond to guide us through the process of selling our existing home and purchase of our new home. Although we had to navigate through some unique challenges on both sides of the transaction, their wealth of real estate knowledge and experience was invaluable in guiding us through the process.We initially met Chris at an open house several years earlier and were drawn to his warm personality, while also impressed by his knowledge of the local real estate market. So when it came time to list our home, we knew there was only one realtor we wanted to work with. During our initial consultation, Chris explained everything about the selling process while also providing some tips on how to increase the value of our current home. Listing our home was effortless with the Ruth/Chris team, we were particularly impressed with the professional photos and guided video (virtual tour) that they had arranged. Once listed, our home sold within the first weekend of being on the market, having received multiple offers above list price. No doubt the energy Chris put into the open house, which attracted over 50 visitors, was a leading contributor to the home selling so quickly.Throughout the process Ruth and Chris were always on hand to address any questions or concerns we had. It was reassuring to know we had a realtor who had our best interests at heart. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Ruth and Chris, who we now consider to be our personal friends.The Ruth/Chris team would be our only recommendation to anyone who is looking for a realtor in the Katy area! -

Ruth and Chris are our go-to real estate agents in Katy and specifically, in Nottingham Country. They are so professional and know the neighborhood inside and out. They were able to successfully help us both in leasing our home and buying our next one. It was such fun working with them and we knew we were in good hands from day one. When any issues popped up, they had workarounds and solutions at the ready that kept the home buying process moving forward and on time. Whether you’re renting, buying or selling, this is your team and we can’t recommend them highly enough. -

We used Chris and Ruth in the recent sale of the house that had been our home for twenty-two years. Chris and Ruth did an outstanding job for us and we would recommend them without reservation.They were there for us at every step of the process,--from our first discussions of if and when we wanted to sell our home,- to providing advice on making the house ready to put on the market,- to helping us set a price for the house,- to deciding on the timing for listing the house for sale,-and to closing the deal with the new owners.At each step, we found them to be responsive to our questions and their feedback was always insightful. They were prompt in keeping us apprised of interest of potential buyers. In summary, Chris and Ruth were always there for us, we would use them again, and we recommend them without reservation. -

Ruth and Chris were fantastic throughout the process of selling my mother’s house. My mother had passed away and I was handling the sale of her house while living out of state. I needed to rely on Ruth and Chris to arrange for house renovations and cleaning to prepare the house for sale in addition to the selling process. Ruth and Chris provided excellent advice on preparing the house to sell and setting the right price to sell in order to maximize profit and minimize time to sell. The painting, carpeting, etc. was done in a timely manner and upon completion the house was listed immediately. A great offer was made and accepted within a few days. When the first buyers backed out, Ruth and Chris had another offer lined up right away and I ended up with an even bigger profit! Throughout this process, Ruth and Chris were extremely responsive to any issues that arose and communicated often. They were always very positive and enthusiastic. They understood that I was under stress, dealing with the handling of my mother’s estate and they were very supportive. I especially appreciated their honesty and candor, following through with what was promised in our first meeting. They really exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend them. -

Ruth and Chris made the process of finding a house for my son as stress free as possible given the fact we had to sell a house in the Austin area and purchase one in Houston. The house in Austin was under contract in the first two days it hit the market. Therefore we were pressured to find something in Houston pretty fast. Getting the timing right is so difficult but we did it with Chriss help. Ruth and Chris also gave guidance on the Austin sale which helped out tremendously. My son and I were stressed after one house did not work out due to timing that I was bothering Chris even on Fathers day. But even with family around I still came first with Chris calming me down saying I promise you the right house at the right price and time will come. It did! A brand new house, which was our preference but most neighborhoods had no quick move ins, appeared. The original buyer was unable to sell his house so the house was put back out for sale. We grabbed that gem right away. It fits my sons needs and is in a nice neighborhood with plenty of amenities. Chris also attends the walk through and is very knowledgeable when it comes to looking for problems so they get fixed before move in as well as negotiating. He is very charming. I highly recommend Ruth and Chris for your homebuying needs. -

Ruth & Chris are absolutely fantastic to work with during the home buying process. From start to finish they were patient, responsive, provided meaningful insight and always present and attentive during walkthroughs and phone calls. They did a wonderful job of listening and understanding exactly what we were looking for. It took us a few months due to the current market to purchase the perfect house, but Ruth and Chris stood by us every step of the way. I truly dont think wed be this happy without their guidance and support. They go above and beyond to make the process smooth, and we looked forward to house hunting because Chris is so fun to be around. We fully recommend Ruth / Chris Real Estate without any hesitation. -

We worked with Ruth and Chris to both sell and buy a home and couldnt be more pleased with our experience.We knew that we were looking for a hard-to-find home with a very specific list of must-haves, and both Ruth and Chris were incredibly patient with us as we sifted through numerous listings. They asked insightful questions to help us narrow down what our biggest priorities and true deal breakers were. When it was time to make an offer, Chris was there to guide us on how to structure ours so that it would come out on top, while keeping our comfort with the deal at the forefront. He provided insight and a depth of knowledge of the current, brutal real estate market and proved his ability to come out on top. He was readily available at all times to bounce questions and ideas off of, especially when negotiations grew serious. He helped us to navigate some tricky conversations.After helping us secure our dream house, Chris was able to very quickly prep, list, show and secure a contract on our home all within 9 days. Ruth and Chris have all of the contacts and industry experience to get things done efficiently. They brought a strong pricing strategy, high quality listing photos, advertising and more. Once again, Chris was available to work through multiple offers and point out pros and cons for each. They were able to make a busy week flow seamlessly.I highly recommend engaging Ruth and Chris for their knowledge, professionalism, resources and because theyre just good people (who also regularly support local schools and kids programs). -

Chris and Ruth are modern day wonders, superheroes without capes! My cousin referred Ruth and Chris to me when I was looking to buy a house for my mother in Katy in early 2021. My cousin stated that they were “highly efficient,” “fast” and “extremely competent.” These words, however, do no justice to how exemplary Chris and Ruth are as professionals and, more generally, as human beings. They are, without question, two of the most trustworthy, conscientious and genuinely decent people you can hope to find.I had never purchased a house before, and I was nervous and wary of the process. As I live in Europe, managing a purchase from abroad was even more daunting, particularly given the escalating housing prices and volatile economy.Chris set me at ease from the very outset. Not only is Chris almost supernaturally upbeat, energetic and affable, he is calm and unflappable in the face of a stressed and sometimes mercurial and often demanding client (me). He took the time to discuss my many concerns, answer my many questions and treat my mom with utmost respect and good-natured humor as they scoured the neighborhoods for a house to my mother’s liking. When nothing suited, he suggested that we consider constructing a house of our own—something that I had almost immediately discounted given how complex and burdensome the process seemed. But Chris walked me through it, onboarded Ruth to answer questions on the contract and financing side, and off we went!Setting aside the remarkable personality traits that make Chris and Ruth such a pleasure to work with, they are also exceptionally competent and highly knowledgeable about the housing market.Ruth was with me every step of the way when it came to the documents, taking late night video calls to explain provisions to me and tirelessly fielding questions from me on the weekends. She liaised with the builder, fought for concessions, and dedicated tremendous effort to peacefully iron out any hiccups between the builder and myself. Ruth’s steady, skillful hand was a huge factor in pulling me across the finish line. All this commitment, even though she had just become a new mom!As we were constructing the new house, we also had to sell my mother’s townhouse, and we wanted to time the sale of the townhome with the closing on the new house. I thought this would be a difficult feat, but we engaged Chris to handle the sale and its timing, and he, in his usual, relaxed but efficient style, made it seem effortless. When he walked into the townhome for the first time to inspect the premises, he eyed the various rooms and offered suggestions as to what we could do to improve the townhome’s value, while advising against taking certain other actions that he felt would increase our costs without adding value. I was impressed by his keen insights and ability to survey the property so effectively, without being the least bit overbearing. Chris handled the sale beautifully, obtaining more than our asking price.On closing day for the new house, as we were signing documents at the title company, Chris appeared, beaming and bearing gifts for us to congratulate us on our new home. Even after the closing, Ruth and Chris never hesitated to help with whatever additional questions or requests I might have. They are remarkable people.Our trust runs so deep that my entire family has partnered with Chris and Ruth for all of our home purchases and sales—five and counting! I cannot recommend them highly enough! -

This year has been full of surprises. One of the best surprises of this year was working with Ruth and Chris. We were referred to them by a trusted advisor and we are so glad we found them! They worked tirelessly to help find the right home for us!! Ruth and Chris listened to exactly what we wanted and then tailor made searches for us to pinpoint the exact houses that suited our needs. Wow!! They made things so easy! If you are in the market for a home, I assure you that Ruth and Chris are the best!! -

Chris listened and understood within the first meeting the exact home characteristics we desired. On day 2, every house we were shown, specifically in the Katy Community, checked all boxes. The time Ruth and Chris dedicated to us, especially since we were mostly on the west coast during transactions, was truly appreciated! Especially loved their positive attitudes and outlook! -

As first time, out of state home buyers, Chris & Ruth helped make our journey simple and easy. After a friend of ours recommended them, we had reached out to arrange a meeting to hopefully gage our outlook on the journey ahead. We spoke with Chris and he helped ease our minds as he was very knowledgeable and detail oriented. I also liked that he kept it with you straight which we appreciated. Chris was able to video chat with us to show a house that we absolutely had our sights on. In doing so, he then was diligent on making that house ours. We are pleased that the team took into account our needs and had honest feedback on the houses that we wanted them to check out. Overall, our decision of picking Chris & Ruth as our realtors has been the best decision! -

We’ve known Chris growing up next door as his loving and outstanding family shaped his character. When we decided to sell our home, we knew we wanted Ruth and Chris Glapa.Chris’ razor sharp expertise became very apparent as he guided us through the process of preparing and staging our home. Ruth juggled caring for their newborn with reviewing and preparing our documents. The day after our open house, we received multiple offers and sold above asking price.Dan and Carol Babik -

The Glapas made our home sale a positive experience for us every step of the way. Chris and Ruth immediately put us at ease with their attentiveness to our needs and their extensive market knowledge.. from advising us on the best list price, to staging and engaging a professional photographer, to executing a comprehensive market strategy, to negotiating a sale just 5 days after listing! We couldn’t be happier with the process and our choice of agents who brought us seamlessly from start to closing. Thanks, Chris & Ruth! -Bill & Susie -

We couldnt have asked for a better home buying experience. Ruth and Chris have got to be the most amazing and talented duo out there. They are personable and get to know you so they have a better idea of what you want. They are honest, upfront and realistic about listings, house values, what its worth and what you are getting. They have made our 1st time home searching and buying quest an easy, fun and unforgettable experience!! We have referred them to all our friends and family. If and when we have to do this again, we wont hesitate to call and ask for their help and expertise. -

First time home buyers here and overall couldnt have asked for a better experience and thats in large part to Ruth and Chris efforts and experience. The area in Katy we wanted to buy was incredibly competitive and they gave us the strategy and tips on how to be successful and get the home we wanted. They were very thorough in explaining any questions, preparing contracts, and recommending appropriate offers. They were great communicators and just genuinely nice folks to work with. Highly recommend to any buyer or seller, especially any first-timers. -

Due to job relocation, we wanted to sell our house in Katy, Texas. We had our kids living there for some time after our relocation. When the time came, Ruth/Chris Real Estate Team was recommended to us by my sister in law, and what a blessing it was.Since day one we got in contact, I felt that all our worries of selling the house while we are out of State would be much easier than I anticipated. They asked us about our expectations and they clearly “listened”, they explained the process to us since we had never sold a house before, it had been nearly a year since we were in Texas, so we had no idea of the exact condition of the house, so there were many factors that remained to worry us.The very next day, Chris informed us that they already had driven by the house, gave us a general report on the outside condition and gave us the action plan. That was even before the kids had completely moved out. We felt that Ruth and Chris were our own children looking for our well-being 100%.They supplied us with market analysis of comparable houses in the area, connected us with fantastic contractors to do some minor repairs and cleaning, they totally held our hands and kept us in the loop on daily basis.Through phone calls and e-mails, we also got to know each other like family and that was awesome and gave us so much more comfort to deal with them. They totally earned our trust, and at that point I told the Ruth/Chris team that I give them free hand to make any necessary decisions without even consulting us first, that is how much we trusted them!It only got better. We got an offer before the house was put on the market, we agreed, but Ruth and Chris advised us that the house can sell for a higher price if we put it on the market. Because of their dedication, knowledge and honesty we agreed to give it a quick try, within two days they proved that they were correct 100%, more than one offer, couple offers were even higher than the listing price…WOW.We cannot express how positively Ruth/Chris Real Estate Team had affected our lives, not only we gained a great Real Estate Agency, but two “much younger” friends, and what we can consider Family members for life.I have already notified everyone I know in Houston to call me if they have any Real Estate needs, because I have the perfect contact for them: Ruth/Chris Real Estate Team. -

Ruth and Chris are an AWESOME real estate team. Our family recently completed an out of state move due to a job relocation. As newcomers to the state, we relied heavily upon Ruth’s and Chris’s expertise to guide us into finding the right fit for our family. I can honestly say that they found us the PERFECT fit. They didn’t just find us a “house;” they found us a “home.”From start to finish, the process took over a year, not to mention a pandemic in the middle of it all. Chris spoke to us on countless occasions and refined our search criteria with each conversation. With his insight and guidance, we gradually narrowed our search. Ruth, with the patience of a saint, walked us through well over 150 properties (and, no, that’s not an exaggeration). Whether we walked through a house quickly or spent our time at a property, Ruth accommodated us at every turn. We often had our 6 year old son with us on these trips. Ruth was EXTREMELY patient when we needed to take a break or grab lunch for our little boy.With every conversation and every property walked, both Ruth and Chris listened to us carefully, helping to decipher exactly what we were looking for (when we, ourselves, didn’t even know). We made several trips out to the Houston area. For each trip, Ruth and Chris bent over backwards to accommodate to our travel schedule, making themselves readily available. They truly went way above and beyond.One of the things we most appreciate about both Ruth and Chris is that we never felt pressured. There was never any pressure to “buy now” or place an immediate offer. If we asked to look at a particular home or to start a new search in a different city, they readily accommodated our requests (and there were many!!!). If we asked to revisit a property or for additional information, Ruth gladly took us back and/or Chris followed up with the information requested. Requests were always accommodated with a smile and can-do attitude. They made us feel completely at ease. We felt we could be completely honest and candid with them at all times, without feeling judged or concerned. By the end, we felt like Ruth and Chris were more like family than just our agents.If you’re looking for expertise and empathy, look no further than Ruth and Chris. With them you can rest assured to be treated respectfully, with genuine care, and top notch professionalism. -

We could not have asked for more from Realtors than the care and attention we received from Ruth and Chris. We met Chris a few years back at an open house and my husband said if we ever are in the market to sell or buy we are using this guy. Well just recently we recruited their help to sell our home in Nottingham Country and they certainly did not disappoint. Right from our initial meeting they listened to our concerns, shared their opinions and recommendations with us and we had our house ready and listed in no time. Within just a few days of listing we had an open house, multiple offers and were under contract for above asking price. Chris and Ruth are exceptional at what they do, their personalities compliment each other and they make you feel as though youve known them for years. They were attentive throughout the entire process and totally put our minds at ease. There are certain people who were made for certain jobs and I feel they have both found their calling. We would definately recommend Ruth and Chris to any family or friends in the market to sell or purchase a home. Cant thank them enough for making this process such a smooth and rewarding one! ~ The ONeills -

We first met Ruth when we moved to the US 7 years ago, she spent a lot of time with us while we looked for a rental property and gave us a wealth of needed information about the area and things we needed. A year later Ruth and Chris helped us buy our first new home and made the process seemless. Fast forward 6 years they sold our home for a great price and very quickly. Working with Ruth and Chris is like being with your best friends, they are great people and always give honest and accurate advice and do what they can to help you every step of the way. Highly recommend these guys. -

As first-time home buyers, we were a little scared and nervous going into our home-buying journey. We met Chris at an open house and he immediately gave us a sense of security and trust. As we interacted more with Chris and Ruth, our nerves began to fade, and we became more excited about this scary process. They walked us through every single step and were very patient with all our questions and concerns. They were always available and made us feel like we were their top priority.We did have some struggles with the closing, but Ruth and Chris minimized the pressure and took on the stress of the dealings. We feel very grateful to have come across Ruth and Chris, they are reliable, very friendly and knowledgeable. We couldn’t have landed this great home without them. They are awesome and I highly recommend them. -

We originally contacted Ruth and Chris a couple years ago in our early planning stages for downsizing as we get closer to retirement. We were given exceptional information on how to prepare for the highest return on our sale and giving the buyers the opportunity to see how their dream home could be achieved. We searched for over a year for the right home to purchase. Chris and Ruth were so supportive and shared their knowledge and experience to help us not only find the ideal new home for us, but also found a buyer who fell in love with our home. Chris and Ruth treated us like family, were protective of our interests. Legendary service, legendary sales and buying experience. I highly recommend Ruth and Chris to anyone searching for a home or preparing to sell. -

Ruth/Chris was the only Realtor I considered when it came time to sell our house. I met Chris several years ago at a neighbors open house and kept in touch with him & Ruth ever since. After telling him that when the time came to sell he would be our realtor, I never felt pressured, even though we werent ready for a few years. One of the things I liked most when I first met Chris was his enthusiasm. It was clear to me that he and Ruth would work hard for us when the time came. They make a great team, are honest, hard-working, and supportive throughout the entire process. They are thorough in what they do and present all the options available. Chris was reassuring and communicative and made the process as smooth as selling your long-time home can be! I highly recommend Ruth/Chris and would not hesitate to use them if we purchase another home in the future. -

Chris and Ruth are hands down one the best real estate teams in the Katy / Houston area. My wife and I met Chris and Ruth at one of their open houses a few years ago but we weren’t ready to buy at that time. They kept in touch and years later when we were finally ready to buy they made us feel as if we were their most important clients. Their knowledge of our location in Katy, Texas was invaluable, and I am very pleased with the location we eventually bought in. What we love most about Chris and Ruth is that their service didn’t end when we sign the closing paperwork. They continue to give us recommendations for renovations as well as advice on what adds value to our home. They also helped us put our previous house on the rental market and were able to secure a tenant in less than a week at more money than we originally thought! If you are looking to buy, sell or lease a home I confidently recommend Chris and Ruth! -

I met Chris at an open house he was hosting when I first began looking into buying a new home. He was outgoing and friendly, though not pushy at all, which is something I truly appreciate in any salesperson. He was also clearly very knowledgeable about the Katy market. I met Ruth a little later and she also impressed me with her deep understanding of everything that was happening in the Katy market. The deciding factor for me though in choosing Ruth and Chris as my agents was that they were both honest and genuinely caring people, passionate about their work and about helping their customers find their perfect homes. Because of the extreme shortage of available properties during the pandemic, it took a year of working together to find our perfect home. During that time, Ruth and Chris really got to know me and my family. They knew exactly what I was looking for and when the perfect house came available, they did everything possible to make sure I got it. There were many other offers on the table so it was going to be a fight. But I told Chris, “This is the one. This is my perfect home. What do I need to do?” He gave me concrete recommendations and guided me through the whole intense process. I trusted him because I felt like he wanted it just as much as I did. I’m very glad I did!We are now settling in to our new home and we have Ruth and Chris to thank for that. I will absolutely be recommending this awesome team to my friends and family looking to buy or sell in Katy. If you are looking for a new home, call Ruth and Chris. You will not be disappointed. They will take care of you! -

Ruth and Chris did an excellent job of selling our home in Katy - we couldnt have picked a better team. We had listed our home with another realtor and there was no movement after several months on the market. We approached Ruth/Chris Real Estate and Chris promised us an offer within a month and he delivered!Ruth and Chris went above and beyond and took marketing to a whole new level with the video tour they prepared of our home! They were always very prompt in answering calls and messages and could be reached at all times. Their recommendations every step of the way in the process of selling our home were spot-on and we closed within a month of the offer.We had a wonderful experience selling our home with Ruth and Chris. Rest assured - Ruth and Chris will do whatever it takes to get the job done! Thank you so much for all of your hard work - Ruth/Chris! -

We leased a home a recently and had such a great experience with the Ruth Chris team. They actually represented the seller/landlord and people recommended that I get my own realtor, but when I met Chris all the great reviews were confirmed. Ruth and Chris run an excellent operation led by integrity, and I could not be more satisfied with our experience. I would say the greatest part of the experience with them was the open communication throughout the whole process. We are most satisfied with our new home and our landlord is an excellent stand up guy also. We plan to stay at this residence for a few years until we are ready to buy, and at that point we most definitely will use them again. 5 out of 5 stars, hands down. Thanks Ruth and Chris! -

After deciding to downsize we contacted Ruth and Chris to assist us with the sale of our home and also to find an appropriate rental property. We found them highly professional and totally in tune with market conditions.Chris estimated that the house would sell within two weeks and we actually accepted a firm offer at list price on the 4th day on the market and closed a month later. Ruth was very patient in helping her hard to please clients to find a very nice rental property.Their efforts made the entire sales and rental experience very easy and they were a pleasure to work with. We would unconditionally recommend them to anyone with any real estate needs. -

Ruth & Chris are THE real estate team you want by your side whether you are buying or selling!They helped my husband and me sell & buy simultaneously, and I am SO thankful that we had them to shepherd us through this somewhat daunting process. They advocated on our behalf, gave us sound advice based on their experience, and sometimes even played the role of therapist when we began to feel stressed.As far as helping us sell our home, Ruth & Chris were positive, enthusiastic, and proactive in marketing and showcasing our house. They conveyed confidence in their ability to sell it, and they delivered everything they promised.On the buying side, they were patient and responsive. They helped us find the answers to every question we had about the property we were buying. They left nothing to chance and followed up on the details.On a personal note, selling our home of 24 years and smart sizing to a smaller one was a BIG decision for us, and we took our own sweet time making that decision. Chris & Ruth patiently waited for us to decide the time was right. They stayed in contact for nearly 2 years before we were ready, but they never pressured us. When we were finally ready, they were there to make the process as painless and as smooth as possible.At the end of the day, we quickly received multiple offers on the sale of our home and sold it for over asking price. Today, we are happily settling into our new home with less maintenance and more time to plan for the new adventures that life sends our way.When I’ve been asked how we were so lucky to pull off these two real estate transactions so timely and efficiently, I have two responses: divine serendipity and Ruth/Chris. -

Ruth and Chris successfully helped us navigated the selling process from begin to end and sold our 4 bed room home in Katy. They were professional and extremely helpful from pre-sale preparation recommendations, to the wonderful photography work, conducting many open houses and showings, and finally with the negotiation with the buyer and successfully closing the deal. Ruth and Chris provided weekly reports and also helped us made adjustments based on market feedback, making sure we were always in the loop and staying on top of things. We highly recommend this all star team for anyone looking to buy or sell in the Katy area. -

Ruth and Chris are great Realtors to work with. When I asked Chris to come look at my home he asked when and where. The real estate market was crazy at that time. He made the time for me. Chris gave me the pros and cons on buying and selling at that time. I listened to his ideas and listed my house. My house got multiple offers on the first weekend during open house. Closed four weeks later......If you have any questions about the real estate market give them a call. They will guide you in whatever direction you want to go...Thank you again Ruth and Chris.. -

We loved working with Ruth and Chris -- they were the only real estate agents I considered after meeting them while at an Open House several months ago. Their knowledge of the market/area benefited me greatly in both selling a home in Katy and buying a new one in Fulshear.We had 15 offers over the span of 3 days before our house went under contract to sell -- and thats all due to their help in prepping us to get the house ready for market and a thorough evaluation of listing price.Id use them again and recommend to anyone in the market to sell or purchase a new home! -

Ruth and Chris were absolutely amazing through every step of the process. They were always available and really took the time to walk us through each step and question we had. Even when we felt like we might become that client that looks at 100 homes they were so patient with us and never made us doubt that they were there for us and willing to help us find the perfect home. They even seemed to be able to read our minds when we really had no idea what exactly we wanted our home to have! As we moved through the process their recommendations were perfect, from the loan officer, to the inspector, all the way to the utilities contacts, Ruth and Chris recommended great people to assist with every detail. If you are looking for a great realtor I highly recommend them! -

Love, love, love our selling and buying experience with Ruth and Chris! Although they already came as a recommendation from a dear friend, my husband and I still wanted to interview at least 3 realtors, and they were far superior in more ways than one.Their listing presentation was on point. From their easy to follow seller’s packet of information, to being at our beck and call for our endless questions and/or concerns throughout our transition, Ruth and Chris gave us the extra attention we needed.And bonus, it was like we were getting a two for one! My husband and I instantly felt a connection with them and it very important for us to have that family/feel-good type of feeling we get from Ruth and Chris. They are a powerhouse team and I will definitely recommend them to all my family and friends! -

My wife and I recently moved from the Detroit area. Not knowing the area, real estate laws, flood zones or even who to contact for electricity, Ruth and Chris guided us through the whole process. They gave us personal and professional referrals, led us to a great house in Rosenberg, attended home inspections with us, helped us find the best financing and followed up after closing. We felt they were personally invested with us. I dont think I could have found anyone or any team better than them.Update 9/5/23I used Chris Glapa to sell my house and buy another. We had 4 offers in 9 days and Chris negotiated the best deal for us. He is a true professional and will use him again if needed. -

We would highly recommend Chris and Ruth as Realtors. They represented my wife and I on both the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home.Chris and Ruth clearly explained the process of the sale of our home. They did an excellent job of representing and protecting our interests. Their efficient use of technology allowed us to sign the contract on the sale of our home while we were vacationing in Cancun. They were patient and professional when answering all the questions we had before signing off on the documents. Their attention to detail allowed them to catch some minor items that were wrong in the initial contract drafted by the buyers realtor.Their knowledge of the market and the current market trends allowed us to sell our home efficiently. Chris and Ruth did a great job of marketing our home to different groups of potential buyers.Both Chris and Ruth did a great job of communicating with us on how they were marketing our house and the response from each targeted segment. After each showing, Chris or Ruth would insure we received responses from the showing agent on their clients thoughts on our home.Chris and Ruth helped us on the purchase of our home as well. They were always available to show us potential prospects whenever we called. Their knowledge of the market helped us close on the very first house my wife and I made an offer on. Throughout the process once the offer was accepted, Chris and Ruth were a tremendous help in getting everything ready (i.e. Inspections, closing documents, etc…) to ensure the closing process went smoothly.Chris and Ruth definitely made my wife and I feel valued as a client. They were quick to respond to our questions whether we called, texted or emailed. Both Chris and Ruth will treat you with respect, professionalism and most importantly make you feel like a true partner on the sale and/or purchase of your home.Again, we highly recommend Chris and Ruth as a great realtor team. -

Ruth and Chris are a great team. We discovered them while visiting an open house. Chris was very informative without being intrusive. We went after the scheduled open house and the owners of the home seemed to glow when I asked them about Ruth/Chris.Ruth and Chris gave a comprehensive breakdown of the comps in my area and most importantly would state the facts of where they thought pricing should be without letting you feel dumb for wanting more than what the market was ready to offer. I noticed that their first advice will always be returned to.We needed to sell our home and the advice that Chris gave was priceless. We got above what we thought we would get for the house! Whenever I gave any wild ideas they would politely always put you in the shoes of the buyer without telling you “that idea is bunkers!” (which they were several times in our case).One of the miniscule things that made all the difference was how Chris knew exactly what the buyers would like to see during a showing – So he would make tiny adjustments that made all the difference. Ruth knows the neighborhood like the back of her hand and knew when properties were coming on the market before they were made public.This is a team I would recommend to anyone looking to sell or buy a home. They are awesome! -

We were overly pleased with our work alongside Ruth/Chris Real Estate on the sale of our previous home and purchase of our new home. They were extremely knowledgable about every step of the process, and provided great guidance to help us navigate through such important decisions for our family.Their network and marketing efforts really shined and allowed us to explore options that we felt we wouldnt have had if we had used anyone else.Wed highly recommend Ruth/Chris Real Estate to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Greater Houston area. -

Ruth & Chris Glapa recently helped our family sell one home and buy another.We have worked with realtors in the past and the Glapa team was far superior to our past experiences.The level of professionalism they displayed at their presentation meeting was outstanding and absolutely won us over.On selling our home, their advice was insightful and constructive. The help staging our home was incredibly helpful and the pictures their photographer took were breathtaking!!Throughout the process of selling our home and in buying our new one their communication and advice were only a text or an email away.Chris promised us to trust that he and Ruth would be able to find us our dream home and they did!!We would not have been able to get our current home or get such a great price on selling our home without all of their hard work and effort!!Thank you Ruth & Chris!! -

If you are looking to buy or sell, we highly recommend Ruth/Chris Real Estate. This husband and wife team know our market very well and live here. Additionally, they support our local schools and swim teams through sponsorships. Their patience and guidance while dealing with some very indecisive clients in ourselves was greatly appreciated and needed. They went so far as to find an off market home for us to look at that we ended up buying when we were ready to give up and pull our house from the market.We chose this team to represent us for buy and sell after meeting them at one of their open houses. We were very impressed with the presentation, professionalism and attention to detail that was put in to the open house. Ruth and Chris Glapa will work very hard to get you what you need! -

I knew going in to a house purchase that chaos would ensue in the current market conditions. I found Ruth/Chris Real Estate from other reviews and decided they were worth meeting to see if they had a firm confident game plan on how to adapt and succeed in todays market. From the moment I met Chris, I knew him and his team would win for me. Chris was very forward about expectations, but also very open to my needs and even more open and transparent about the entire process we were about to partake in.Chris and his team were extremely welcoming and accommodating for the various steps of the process. They were always quick to answer communication (calls, texts, emails) and I never felt like I was being avoided. And more importantly, his team was always forward about the current market and expectations on what it would take to have my offer accepted. And I think in todays market, this type of attitude is definitely needed to win. No sugar coating, no hopes and dreams, just reality and what that encompasses.Dont get me wrong, Chris and his team were amazing and professional and gave off nothing but good positive vibes. But they also knew how to explain the overall real estate situation we are facing these days. Going into the process, I gave myself a good 3-4 month window to find a home for my son and myself. I had very low expectations on that timeline. Not because of Chris and his team, but because the current market is anything but easy to navigate and win in.Chris and his team went above and beyond to work with me and to win that dream home. His team coordinated viewings, kept in touch on a daily basis on the status of things, and kept spirits high. There was never a sense of panic or negativity throughout the process. And in the end, I had a house offer accepted after ~2 weeks of looking and bidding.And the help and guidance from Chris and his team did not stop once my offer was accepted. They were there every step of the way until closing, and even more after that. His team was always in my corner and supported me in all the ways I needed, even in ways I didnt think I needed. 2 weeks, in todays market...it is still hard to believe at times. Chris and his team made this experience smooth and stress-free and along the way made various strides in not feeling like just a customer, but an actual client they cared about and were happy to see get a home.I would fully recommend Chris and his team for anyone wanting someone with knowledge of not only the market, but how to navigate and win in this environment. -

Ruth and Chris were extraordinarily responsive to our needs, as property sellers. They promised to sell our home within a tight time frame and they delivered. Being out-of-state property owners, we placed heaps of trust in them and they exceeded our expectations. Ruth and Chris returned our calls promptly; answered our questions thoroughly; and, found the right price, which led to a highly acceptable offer in less than one week. You need look no further than this dynamic and personable sales team. -

As a first-time home buyer, I was nervous about the prospect of buying a home especially in such a large market. From the first time I sat down with Chris and Ruth until closing day, the process could not have gone any smoother. Sitting down with them the first time they ran me through the entire process of the home buying experience and really helped me understand what I was getting into. They listened to what I was looking for and were able to narrow my search down substantially. They are extremely knowledgeable about the market and always made themselves available throughout the process to show homes (sometimes at inconvenient times) and answer questions. They always kept me in the loop from the time I had an offer accepted until closing day. Chris and Ruth are also just genuinely good and nice people, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. -

It was really great to work with Chris/Ruth and Amber Glapa. They helped us to get the house we were looking for especially in the current crazy real estate market.

That was a great benefit to get our house across multiple other offers (>19 offers). We truly recommend them for our friends. -

Where do I start!! There is something special about this dynamic duo! My wife and I are forever in debt to Chris and Ruth. They have been our Realtor for about seven years. And even when we werent in the market they still kept us on there radar by calling and emailing and texting just to say hi. And even to see how the kids were doing. Theyve been there with us every step of the way. When we finally decided that it was time to buy they got right down to business. Everything we needed to know they informed us about it. They sent us all the information we needed and continued to follow up with us to see if we had any questions. Any home we wanted to see they showed it to us, no matter the day or time. They even helped us make decisions as far as what type of home we wanted we we were unsure. When we finally found the house we wanted they put on there business suits and fought for us every step of the way. When things looked like they were going in our favor Ruth and Chris fought for us. When my wife was stressed and overwhelmed with all the demands and others things being asked by the seller, Chris and Ruth calmed us down and they fought for us and made everything happen! I really am grateful and beyond appreciative to these two. They get the job done no matter what! You tell Ruth what you want and shell go get it for you without. Chris is the guy that when its time to close, hell dresses for the occasion. Ask him to wear one of his classic suit jackets. Youll see what I mean. All In all I would highly recommend Chris and Ruth to anyone looking for a home. Theyll answer any questions you have, theyll follow up with you every chance they get and theyll always be there for you no matter what. Chris and Ruth will be lifelong friends of ours. Shaunessy and I love you guys and we look forward to seeing Chriss new jackets on all social media platforms! -

I have already recommended Ruth and Chris to several other people as our experience with them was phenomenal. Ruth and Chris represented us through selling our home and finding us our next home. All of our questions were answered and minds put at ease when we started business with this pair. 5 star reasons: communication/responses were prompt, market knowledge very in depth, contract/closing paperwork resources and contacts were quick and concise, process from conception to close handled with the same amount of integrity and class. Honestly, this pair is very personable and likable as well, which we saw as an added bonus since we spent so much time with them over the phone and in person. -

We loved that they were easy to contact and quick to respond to all of our questions, and there were a lot of them! As first time home buyers, we appreciated their knowledge, guidance and kindness! We often times got off subject because they’re so personable and we had a lot in common. You will not go wrong choosing them in your home buying process.

We recently sold our house with Ruth and Chris and could not be more pleased. We received multiple offers over asking, and it couldn’t have been a smoother process. We really feel like their marketing was excellent, from their photos to their write up of the house and all of their places the listing was advertised. Our open house had an insane amount of traffic and we had multiple offers over listing. They also guided us very well through inspections and negotiations. We have used other realtors before and their knowledge and guidance was invaluable. The whole process was truly as stress free as possible. The title company even treated us extra special because we were clients of theirs. We have recommended them to friends and family. You can’t go wrong with these two. -

Chris and Ruth are a phenomenal team, with each playing to his / her strengths. Chris enthusiastically throws himself into marketing the house, while Ruth stays on top of the pesky legalities, paperwork, and deadlines. They impressed us from the get-go by finding out what our family-specific needs and concerns were, and being mindful of those throughout the entire process. They maintained excellent lines of communication, patiently answering all of our questions and walking us through every step; and they even pitched right in and helped me with last-minute tasks just before the photographer arrived.

WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE GLAPAS FOR ALL YOUR REAL ESTATE NEEDS!!!!While moving from Kingwood to Katy, we met Chris while at an open house in 2019 and never looked back. He and Ruth bring their own unique talents to their business, and they helped us over the course of 2 years to learn the Katy market, and even had a rental property available for us while we searched at our own pace. They complement each other very well as a real estate team (and as a couple ;) ). Through countless showings, multiple disappointing COVID price wars, school quality discussions, neighborhood/street differences, right/wrong prices for offers and beyond, they worked with us to navigate all the various aspects of how to choose our home. This is the easiest recommendation to write, and were quite open to any further questions beyond this review. You wont regret choosing the Glapas as your real estate partners!! -

They are professional, quick to respond, VERY hard working, and genuinely had our best interest at heart when it came to finding a place that we wanted to call home. They were very patient with us and really broadened our horizons of what to look for in a home. You could not ask for better people to be involved with when making a big decision like buying a home. Even when we were pre-looking for a house (about 8 months before we were actually ready to buy anything), they were in communication with us and gave us some great tips for first time home buyers.

Wouldnt use anybody elseRuth & Chris helped us find a rental last year. They have helped us buy our first home in the U.S. Without them we would have been totally lost! They are very professional, very friendly and 100% on the ball. They have explained everything along the way, helped me when Ive been totally clueless and have always been at the end of the phone if Ive needed anything. Thanks guys so glad to have you be part of our house process! -

Ruth & Chris are amazing. I met them a few years ago in an open house. Since then they’ve been helping me for my rental property all the way from rent-out till sold-out finally. They are reliable and knowledgeable. Strongly recommend this couple team! -

Ruth and Chris have been working with us for about 2 years to help us prepare our home to sell. We were in regular communication with them and were able, with Chriss recommendations, to list at the perfect time for this market. -

I had my beautiful home in Cinco Ranch painfully listed for over a year with an agent I previously used and despite showings I had no traction. The only thing accomplished was me always maintaining a spotless home for my wife since the 100 or so showings we had were worthless and when I would call my agent days later I was told that the leads would be followed up with? Why not the day of the showing or next day? This was a concern.I can not describe how tiring the process became of having to clean my house with little or no notice, remove my animals and displace my daughters since we often had to suddenly leave our home. This went of for over a year with over 100 showings and no results.Making the decision to switch agents wasnt very easy for my wife since she felt we were already invested timewise. She also thought it was the market or my home, but with 23 years of sales management and with the conversations I had with my agent I knew it was the person not my home or location. None the less, 1 year after being with the same agent, I terminated that relationship and met Ruth and Chris Glapa!Upon meeting Ruth and Chris I was immediately impressed. They just didnt simply take a few pictures and slap my home on MLS/HAR with the other 150 homes represented like my prior agent and simply hope for a result. They went into depth with their philosophy which I 100% agreed with, dissected my home, community and gave me honest feedback that led to us developing an amazing plan of how they will sell my home. Ruth and Chris actually told me that there was nothing for me to do with my home other than continue to have it show ready but taking on a year long listing in a depressed market would be difficult. Ultimately they made it look easy! My prior agent didnt believe in simple things and especially in going above and beyond like the Glapas.My prior agent literally took pictures, posted them and waited for an offer that never came. There was no follow up or hustle like the Glapas. He didnt believe in gimmicks like Open Houses, which come to find out really meant he didnt believe in work and hustle, my prior agent had over 100 listings in their group alone... I was 1 of the many.The Glapas deployed the upmost of professionalism, tools, attention to detail, frequent communication and feedback, hustle factor, follow up and went above and beyond in every single way. They brought in the most state of the art tools for the best pictures which had brilliant comments on the listing, videos and actually pushed the home. In fact including the open house they did upon listing I had more showings in 17 days than the past 4 months with my prior agent! In fact when somebody would inquire about my home and they didnt have an agent or their agent was unavailable Ruth and/or Chris wouldnt put it off, they would personally show my home so the prospect wouldnt have to wait and possibly lose interest!Well, it happened, despite the despair and sense of hopelessness they accomplished the unthinkable... In a depressed market with tons of competition of homes, entering the slow season their efforts and work yielded a full asking offer and after only 17 days on the Market with Ruth and Chris we were done. We successfully closed on 9-19-2016! Their efforts didnt end with the offer, they had brilliant resources to assist with inspection, were by my side through the closing process with the lenders and were with us at the closing of our new home!My only regret is that my wife didnt find Ruth and Chris sooner! Actions always speak louder than words and the Glapas went above and beyond in every conceivable way, for that we are thankful!If your home is in a similar situation as mine was dont procrastinate, time is money and call Ruth and Chris. Furthermore I gave Ruth and Chris permission to have any interested parties contact me directly if you need to hear my good story from me personally! -

Ruth and Chris were the absolute best to work with!!! They went out of their way to make sure that every question I had was answered and all the properties I wanted to see happened. There was never any hesitation with them about seeing a property, even at drop of a hat. I didnt like to do that to them but after looking all day and finding a potential house, you would like to see it asap and they made it happen. I will continue to used them for all my future needs and recommend them to everyone. I went in with realtors and came out with friends!! -

Chris and Ruth are a great team to work with. They are always available and willing to do whatever needed.

From the first phone call I made to Chris Glapa, I knew he and Ruth were the ones to work with when I started looking for a place to live in the Katy area. They are professional, courteous, and work harder than any Realtor or team Ive ever worked with in the past. I have no doubt you will be happy when choosing Ruth/Chris Real Estate -
Review 93 (2015-09-24 - Rating: 5)
Chris and Ruth are fantastic at what they do. My wife and I moved from New York City, looking for better quality of life to raise our kids. We made a few trips here to survey and find the best suitable neighbor for us. While we were in Houston I called a few realtors to help us out but all of them wanted us to come in and sit to check our financial status before we could see any properties. I dont blame them, I will probably do the same.During one of visits in March 2015 we saw a house in the Katy area, the number there was Chris’, I called him and he showed up in about 13 minutes. Gave us a tour of the property and even took us to see another one right after, we were pleased. NO ONE OFFERED SUCH SERVICES! Chris Glapa took a leap of faith with us, worked with us till we closed on our new home in August 2015, yay!!!That’s our story in a nutshell. I will always recommend them first! They will do their absolute best to help you get into the house of your dreams. Thank you Chris and Ruth again for all your hard work. -

Realtor Amber Glapa was a pleasure and a joy to work with!! From the first meeting and through our signing, she exhibited diligence, patience and the social graces that have become synonymous with the definition of a Realtor. I am very critical when it comes to being professional. She checks all the boxes when it comes to being responsive, always on time for appointments, following up with unknown property information and highly respectful of my time and varying schedule. Also, she remained cognizant to my very specific family and property requirements and eliminated those properties that were not a fit. If you are looking to rent or even purchase a home, dont hesitate to reach out to her as she has my full recommendation and blessings. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed. -

As you probably know there are as many realtors in the Houston/Katy/Richmond area as there are potholes on I-10. It was very overwhelming at first. I needed a team that knew the area. Someone that lives and works in the community. A team that was not content with their success that just relied on clients that theyd had for years. I wanted a team that was HUNGRY and eager to help me at the drop of a hat. I have to be honest, it wasnt easy but I finally came across a young couple that met all my requirements. The RUTH/CHRIS real estate team was impeccable from the first email all the way to closing. Im telling you when I say that they were there for me at the drop of a hat I mean it. They returned emails when I had questions in the middle of the night. They returned phone calls promptly and asked questions that I never even thought of. Ruth was so knowledgable of the market and the mortgage process and Chris was like a bulldog with his relentlessness pursuit of helping my family find our dream home. I could go on and on all day. What it really boils down to is that I found an outstanding real estate TEAM (2 for the price of 1) that was instrumental in helping my family make the most important purchase we have ever made. We are so happy and excited to start our new life in the Richmond/Katy TX area. I highly recommend the RUTH/CHRIS Real Estate team to anyone with high expectations looking for HUNGRY,KNOWLEDGABLE, PROFESSIONALS in their pursuit of finding a dream home. #VETERANAPPROVED -
