I've known Mr. Ruff for over twenty years and have watched him build everything from the ground up successfully in one of the toughest places in the world, New York City, before he expanded his business into other states. We've worked on many projects together and share a deep friendship and respect for one another. He is one of the most determined people I know with an unstoppable work ethic, drive to improve, and insatiable lust for knowledge and growth. He loves teaching and is generous with those he watches over and cares for, which I believe is part of his continual improvement as a team leader over the years. His negotiation skills are superb. Additionally, his understanding of the real estate markets is very notable. If you are looking for someone that understands how to invest in real estate and build a business, this is your guy. I know I can count on James, he gives honest feedback even when the facts are difficult to hear while remaining respectful and supportive in his tone. James always does his best to look out for the interest of his people and can admit when he is wrong or doesn't know an answer. It is a rarity to meet someone who genuinely internalizes what it means to be of service to their client and others. Thank you, James, may we enjoy many more years of prosperity to come.

I began speaking to James 2 years ago. Although I was looking at homes, I was not ready to purchase, however, James’ knowledge and sincere manner convinced me that he would be the person the guide me when the time was right. He unobtrusively checked in during this 2 year period. When I was ready to purchase, James was there. He proceeded to guide me and my family through a highly complex, hybrid lending structure. His persistence, connections, honesty, professionalism and determination enabled us to close the deal. James is a master of his craft and more than this, he is a good human being who will be a part of our lives for a long time. He strives to seek his clients’ interests at all times. He serves with honor and dignity. I highly recommend James.

One of the hardest things to do when choosing your real estate team in South East Florida, especially in the Miami area, is to find an agent that is both trustworthy and competent while also being willing to go the extra mile for you. I've worked with James for years, nearly two decades to be exact, and there is a reason I continually work with him. James Ruff is an incredibly talented real estate negotiator who has always looked out for my best interest. To say he cares about his clients would be an understatement. There is a reason that many, if not most, of his clients later become friends for life. James is an amazing listing agent, and an equally talented buyer's agent. He goes out of his way, above and beyond, to make sure his client's needs are met and I trust him 100%. James' knowledge on lending and finance is top-shelf quality. Years back had I not listened to his sound advice it would have been a horrible mistake. Luckily, I listened and took his guidance on my first home and was set up for future success that has paid in dividends. A solid agent, a talented broker, and a great team leader of his firm The James Ruff Group. You won't find a better agent. Thank you, James!

I've worked with James Ruff multiple times over nearly twenty years for my housing needs in NYC. He's an amazing listing agent, and an incredible buyer's agent. Through his advice I've successfully obtained multiple properties, and been able to help my mother find a great home way below market price. Years ago I remember when James convinced me to sign on a property in what was literally an unknown area of NYC on the west side of Manhattan. "Trust me, this is a great deal and you would be a fool to pass it up", he said. This decision would turn out to be an amazing housing decision, in what would later become The Hudson Yards. James guided me through my anxiety and fear and let me know that I was making the correct decision in choosing my first home in New York. This was some of the most sound advice I received in my early adult life, which set me up for future success. Manhattan real estate is unbelievably competitive and having someone who knows the market, knows how to negotiate, and always looks after your interest first is wildly valuable. You can trust in James and his company The James Ruff Group to take care of you like family. Mr. Ruff is a great NY agent, and runs an amazing real estate firm.
As a home inspector, I work with a lot of realtors and see the good and the bad. James Ruff was the buyer's agent on a home I was inspecting in Boca Raton. He is a true professional that puts his clients first. He made sure his client understood the home inspection process, set up conference calls to review the report and address any concerns the buyer may have had. It was a pleasure to work with him. I would not hesitate to refer James Ruff.

My wife & I have had a great experience working with James Ruff as our buyer's agent in Miami Beach. He was instrumental in helping us understand the process, strategize on how to submit a compelling offer in a very competitive market, and went above and beyond to help us navigate our lending options. James is a talented and clear communicator who we've felt grateful to have on our side, and going to bat for us. We always felt listened to, and that James was thinking two steps ahead when it came to identifying and negotiating on a property on our behalf.

I had the pleasure of working with James Ruff on an inspection I was completing for a mutual client of ours at a property South of Fifth in Miami Beach. He was the buyer's agent and set up the inspection that involved gaining access to the electrical service closet and roof top of this condominium. By far one of the most attentive and detailed professionals in the industry with the wherewithal to have in mind the potential needs of other professionals involved in the transaction. James got it done and the client was happy with our findings and how smooth everything went. Thank you James!

I have been a Licensed home inspector in South Florida for almost 30 Years. I met James on a property he was listing. I was so impressed by the way he treated his clients and interacted on the phone with other clients, I had to tell him that on site at that very moment. There are a ton of Realtors in South Florida, and very few like James. It takes a lot to impress me, and I was that day and every day since I have known James. I highly recommend him!

We worked with Jeff on the purchase of a unit in Miami Beach last November. He was honest, caring and always on top of things. A real pleasure to work with. The home buying market is so tight right now, yet we knew we would get to the finish line with Jeff. He never gave up on the transaction, always an optimist, always making us feel good along the way. I highly recommend his services as a Real Estate Broker. We could not have done it without him, and his team.

I met James a few months ago. After speaking in depth with him about my previous experiences, and how crazy the Miami real estate market had become, he convinced me to give him a try. Within 2 weeks we had an offer in and I closed on my first condo last week. While my previous realtors were great, James is a cut above. He's very knowledgeable of the Miami market, knows and explains the math well, and knows how to navigate negotiations with patience and the appropriate amount of pressure on the gas pedal. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking to buy real estate.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Darby! It was a great pleasure to work with you with my team as a team in order to get this deal done and achieve your dreams of homeownership. In a market where bidding wars are everywhere, and many people are paying over asking price, you hit a grand slam: A+ location, an awesome home, and you beat the market by negotiating a discount off the list price by nearly 8%! Kudos to you!

I don't believe in luck, I believe in trust and understanding, I've been with Mrs sophia for some YEARS and I've made good amount of money with his simple strategies of trading. Meeting with her has been the best experience that has happened to me in this past few years and I'm expecting yet another payment from the broker. Scammers are everywhere but to find a reliable trader like Mrs sophia is not an easy task and my advice for you all is to come over and join her. Contact heremail: sophiaswatson90@gmail.com

We had an excellent experience working with James on the purchase of our ocean front condominium. His knowledge, expertise and negotiating skills proved to be invaluable throughout the entire process. I greatly appreciate his open and honest communication and highly recommend him to anyone needing an expert in the South Florida real estate market.
I was the closing attorney on a recent real estate transaction that was anything but smooth sailing. James represented the buyers, and his communicativeness, professionalism, and willingness to help however possible were refreshing to say the least. I work closely with scores of agents/brokers, and it can often seem the prevailing industry motto is "not my job." James truly breaks the mold. I look forward to working together again soon!
