Rob Snyder, Matthews Auto Supplies, a buyer from Scranton, PA
We had some issues with previous owner getting out of building and removal of items . Ruth went above and beyond to help us with the situation and communicated every step of the way. Hard to find people like Ruth today. We thank her so much for all she did
We were blown away by her expertise. She made the home buying process a smooth process. Keeping us informed throughout the months. She is friendly and good at her job. We are happy with our purchase!
Ruthie was soooo much more than a real estate agent and expert, she quickly became part of our family as a close friend who we could count on. There was never a moment where we felt pressure or like we were being sold a house. Ruthie was a caring Shepard ensuring our family was happy with our decision to purchase a "home."
Jill Schwartz, Harveys Lake, a seller from Kingston, PA
Ruthie made everything easy from beginning to end!!!!
Darin Lundber, Hermantown, MN, a seller from Clarks Summit, PA
Ruth Hollander is a consummate professional and always a pleasure to work with. She understands a buyer and sellers needs and gets back quickly with any new information. I would not hesitate to use or recommend Ruth Hollander in the future.
Cathy Mineo Scranton Pa, a seller from Scranton, PA
Ruthie is extremely professional, prompt, detail oriented and is a pleasure to deal with. She delivered everything that was agreed upon and more.
If there was an excellent+ rating Ruthie would deserve that. She went above and beyond in all of the categories listed.
Without a doubt I would recommend the Century 21 Smith Hourigan Group to anyone interested in buying or selling a house.
Tina Rosencrance, Archbald , a seller from Archbald, PA
Ruthie is amazing all around! Her professionalism, knowledge and most importantly her sense of urgency and authentic personality were much more than I had expected! She was so helpful with our relocation process which went unbelievable smoothe! I would absolutely recommend Ruthie to anyone who may be looking to buy or sell!
Ruthie was extremely, extremely patient and went above and beyond to find our perfect home with all of our needs in mind. Was easy to work with, communication was amazing, and she made the whole home buying process a breeze.
Ruthie went above and beyond her job responsibilities. She was always able to talk and respond to us within the matter of minutes whether it was a weekday or weekend. She really put our family first until she found us the perfect home.
She was extremely honest with us and helped guide us to finding the perfect home. She would answer honestly with any questions and concerns we had, she would provide us with information that guided us to know exactly what we were looking for, and she made us feel safe and comfortable, trusting her to help us decide on offers to bid on homes we found throughout our experience.
Overall, Ruthie Hollander made us feel safe, comfortable, and allowed us to find our dream home. I truly do not think we would have found the house we did without Ruthie's help. She actually found the home for us instead of us finding a home and reaching out to her. She truly worked so hard to find us a forever home and make us a very, happy family!
Selling my mom's house so she could relocate was a stressful time. Ruthie made the entire process easier. Her approach, guidance, attention to detail and professionalism went above and beyond. She was a pleasure to work with on a sale that had some complications. Through it all, Ruthie was outstanding.
Ruthie was quick to respond, knowledgeable, honest, and genuine. Above all, she was a miracle sent to us. She helped us navigate a difficult buyer and helped us keep our sanity. If it wasnt for her, my wife and I would have been in a a tough spot. I would recommend her to everyone and if I ever buy back in the area, I will only ever use Ruthie.
Ruthie Hollander was everything I wanted in a realtor and a person. She somehow manages to be extremely personable and friendly while being every bit the detail oriented professional. Also, the photographer she works with has the same qualities - friendly and sociable while somehow performing an excellent job on the task at hand. Our photos were fantastic! Ruthie was always on time, always did what she said she would do (and made it look easy,) confirmed everything as appropriate, accommodated all of our needs, and made recommendations during the negotiations that likely secured the solid deal. Ruthie knows this business well. She gets results but somehow with always a professional & pleasant attitude. I would highly recommend Ruthie to anyone. Our house sold in one weekend, well over asking price.
Selling a home is never easy and always emotional
Ruthie was always available for help and support
Shes thoughtful and knowledgeable
A great great gal

The entire process was handled by Ruthie Hollander. She kept telling me that everything would be great and I was nervous but in the long run she was 100% correct.

Ruthie had a wonderful suggestion of doing an escalation clause and because of her suggestion, we were able to get the house. Huge Kudos !!
Everything was done in a timely manner. I couldnt be more satisfied with the century 21 smith hourigan group
I have absolutely nothing negative to say about the experience . I had a few set backs with my first attempt at buying a house when the seller backed out of the closing and Ruthie was there for me and helped me stay positive until we finally found the perfect home. I am beyond happy
Ruthie is all of the above and then some ! She was helpful at all hours, answered all of my questions, patiently coached me through the process, and Ruthie always has a smile on her face... you can see it through the mask! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. She is one of a kind and really knows how to do her job. She is a valuable asset to the company
Ruthie had the perfect combination of professionalism and warmth. She always responded promptly to our phone calls and her guidance through the selling process was top notch.

Dr. Ann M. McLaughlin, Scranton, PA, a seller from Scranton, PA
Ruthie Hollander is a quintessential realtor. She is extremely knowledgeable about property, regions, and the actual selling process. Ruthie is also the most patient person imaginable. No matter what the seller requested or how long the sale process took, Ruthie took it all in stride and calmed me in the process. My home was a priority for her from the moment we signed the contract until the sale closed. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her and Century 21 Smith Hourigan Group.

Ruthie was professional, patient, and detail oriented. I cannot say enough about how wonderful she was throughout the entire process. She made a difficult situation much easier for us. We dealt with difficult sellers, but she went out of her way to help us and make us feel valued and secure.
Ruthie is top notch, the best. We will NEVER use another realtor. If and when we sell our home and purchase another, she will be handling all aspects.
Ruthie was so knowledgeable in commericial real estate. Having never purchased a home OR a business, I was apprehensive, but thank GOD I had Ruthie to help navigate the process. She is by far the BEST!
Ruthie made sure I understood what was going on and guided me well.. Throughout the whole purchase she was wonderful.

Ruthie is extremely knowledgeable, efficient, reliable and a pleasure to deal with. She is her mother's daughter
Marian Boscia, Heber City, UT, a seller from Kingston, PA
We selected Ruthie Hollander because her agency, Century 21, had an excellent reputation, her office was close to our house, and she had the best record for selling homes in our expected price range.
Our move out-of-state was extremely stressful with my husbands serious medical issues. Ruthie was our salvation in that she made the successful sale of our house as easy as possible and low stress. She helped us get our home ready to put on the market, which required a good deal of effort and coordination with our home-repair company. She also handled the buyer s inspection for us. She kept us posted on each task as it was completed.
Ruthies communication skills were excellent. She helped us navigate the entire process of selling a house long-distance by giving us detailed information about each step in the process. We are beyond grateful for her support and give her our strongest recommendation as an outstanding professional.
Sue Henry, Hanover Township, a seller from Clarks Summit, PA
Ruthie Hollander is a consummate real estate professional and a terrific lady! Selling my mom's house after her death was a daunting task, but Ruthie was the right person to get it done. She met with me quickly, listed the house in a timely manner and sold it quickly. She gave me peace of mind and was always available to discuss the details of the sale with me in language I could understand. It was wonderful to rely on her when decisions about the process were confusing. Ruthie truly loves her job and it shows. I would recommend her to others in a heartbeat.
Diane King Arlington, Texas (sold dads, a seller from Plymouth, PA
Ruthie was wonderful thru the whole process. The minute I met her I instantly liked her and felt I could trust her .
I was selling my dads house and live out of state so I relied on her advice for everything.... from setting the asking price of house, etc. The house sold quickly and everything went smooth.
Ruthie was friendly yet professional in every way.
I saw her credentials on the internet and was lucky to have picked a winner.
Could not have asked for anything more.
Patrick Popovich MECHANISBURG, a seller from Olyphant, PA

Pat Plominski, Archbald, a seller from Archbald, PA
Ruth Hollander of Century 21 Smith Hourigan Group presented as a professional and in a friendly manner. We felt as if Ruth had been part of our family for years all within the first meeting.
Ruth assisted us in selling our current residence while also assisting us in finding a new forever residence.
Ruth made sure our needs, concerns, questions, and sale process from both sides ... the selling and the purchasing sides...were met with an effortless appearance to us. Ruth always followed up on any issues that were presented, allowing us to handle our other concerns w/relocating.
In spite of the emotional feelings involved w/our recent relocation, Ruth made the transition for us so much less stressful.

Thank you Ruth from the bottom of my heart !
Paul B, Shavertown, PA, a buyer from Shavertown, PA
We began working with Ruthie Hollander by recommendation and were extremely pleased with her kindness and easy going demeanor. We never felt as though we were being pushed on anything and we genuinely felt Ruth wanted what was best for us. We looked for a while before settling on a house and I was pleased with how patient Ruth was with us and how flexible she was in terms of showing us places.
Ruth is a genuinely kind person who we really enjoyed working with and I would recommend her to anyone who is in search of a new home.
I was given Ruthie Hollander's name from a well trusted friend that had dealt with her on many occasions in the past. My friend had great things to say about her work and highly recommended her knowing that this was a first time home buyer purchase.
She was always timely to answer communications and questions about the house or purchase. Always extremely polite and pleasant to deal with and took time to explain items in a clear and concise manner.
Considering this was a first time purchase, I believe the overall experience was positive and I could not have asked for a better realtor.
Susan Schectman Scranton PA, a seller from Scranton, PA
Very patient during long sales period. Went the extra mile.
Personally cared for the client and worked hard for a good outcome.
Honest and up front.
Michele, Philadelphia , a seller from Pittston, PA
Quite honestly I liked her photo (looked professional) and her bio was impressive.
Ruthie made the whole process easy for myself and my parents (actual home owners). We actually never met her in person and were able to do everything online/mail. She had solid advice and was always quick with responses to our questions.
I can not say enough nice things about Ruthie. She was a delight to work with and my only regret was not finding her sooner.
Unbelievable experience with Ruth. Would recommend in a heartbeat. Could not have done it without her.
Betty Jane Williams Wilkes Barre Pa, a buyer from Wilkes-Barre, PA
Once I explained what I was looking for Ruth started finding houses to look at. The more homes we saw the better Ruth picked up on my exact needs. Sometimes she knew right after walking into a house that it was not the right one. She was patient during the the months of searching. I already recommended Ruth to a friend to handle the sale of a family members house and I would recommend her again.
Liz & Sal, Duryea, Pa., a seller from Pittston, PA
This experience in buying and selling a home was not what I expected. With Ruthie as our realtor we were able to understand the process a lot better. Thanks to her she answered all of the many questons with the utmost clarity, making our experience comforting. She is a tremendous asset to Century 21 and we will always be thankful we had such a competent realtor.

My brother and I are co-executors of my mother's estate and the Seller of this property. I live in South Florida an my brother in PA. Neither of us lived in the house for over 40 years. I took care of the process and my brother the needed repairs inspections etc. Ruthie kept both of us in the loop at all times and guided us about what needed to be done and when. Had a number of strange issues and Ruthie kept both of us timely informed and guided us through the issues and their resolution. A real trooper.
