RICA RUIZ

Raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, my affection for this community runs deep and is what compliments my knowledge of the local Real Estate market. That, coupled with over 15 years of comprehensive sales experience ranging from owning my own business, corporate sales and extensive experience in both residential and commercial real estate sales has enabled me to develop a client-centered philosophy and attention to detail that enhances every transaction. I am dedicated to providing top notch service to both Homebuyers and Sellers.

I am committed to providing a perfect blend of experience, knowledge and integrity to ensure favorable results for my clients. I am a trained negotiator and problem solver. Traditional values of hard work, honesty and personal commitment to excellence is the foundation of my success. My background and experience enables me to think strategically, provide disciplined advice and execute on that advice to help clients achieve their Real Estate goals.

Other interesting facts about me ... I graduated Magna Cum Laude from San Francisco State University with a degree in Radio & Television. I enjoy the creativity of cooking and baking and the discipline and challenge of working out & staying physically fit. I am an advocate of community service and volunteer at Belmont Vista, a Convalescent & Assisted Living Facility as well as California Youth Connection (CYC), an advocacy group for the Foster Care System, assisting with their fundraising efforts. I also teach Sunday school at my family church, Central Peninsula Church. My favorite pastime, however, is spending time with my husband, Rob, and our son, Samuel.
