She helped us pick the perfect price point to make sure we had plenty of offers. When we had to leave town to go house hunting, she was constantly in contact and ensuring us that our house was secure. She goes above and beyond to meet her clients needs. We have a newborn and she jumped in to help make sure little fixes got done so we could stick to our timeline. We had a very smooth and easy house selling experience thanks to Ruth!!"
by Travis & Mary LeachRuth Darling is far and wide the BEST realtor in Northwest Arkansas!! Ruth's tenacious spirit and work ethic are simply unmatched. We have been dreaming of finding our next home in Eureka Springs for several years. As luck would have it, we found an interesting property and requested more information. Ruth emailed us right away. We responded by jumping on a call shortly after. There have been several interesting properties, but none seemed to fit our needs in the long run, but Ruth never gave up! It was Ruth who first layed eyes on our new-to-us historic beauty!! Ruth, you've gone out of your way to help my family realize a dream. You are out of this world..stellar in every single way. I consider you one of the most fabulous people I've ever met. This review is from my heart. I am so grateful you found us!! Fellow home buyers, if you have a dream and want the best realtor to represent your very best wishes, you have to ask for Ruth Darling. Its just that simple!
by Jamie DurkinAmy Beebe "Ruth helped my husband and I with the selling and buying process on our homes. She was excellent through the entire process. She was extremely responsive and always available to answer questions. Ruth was able to offer advice that really make the process easy. I can't put in words how much that helped us get through the stress involved in the selling and buying process. Her knowledge truly was to our advantage when we sold our house. We listened to Ruth's advice and ran with it. Without that advice it is very likely we would not have sold our house for what we did. We would have also put work into things that really would not have mattered. The small things she advised us to do turned out to be really big. From the advice prior to listing the house and the work she did after it went on the market we could not be happier. She definitely deserves more than 5 stars!"
by Brent & Amy Beebe"We had an amazing experience working with Ruth Darling. She went above and beyond in every step of the process, making what could’ve been a stressful situation during the holidays, feel easy and seamless. She not only sold our house quickly, but also helped us buy another great home on the lake and coordinated the closing for both transactions on the same day! Her expertise, hard work, attention to detail, and dedication to her clients are unmatched. What started as a professional relationship quickly turned into a friendship. We are so grateful for the care. She showed us throughout this journey. Highly recommend!"
