On January 5th, 2022 we were notified by our landlord that we needed to vacate the property, she decided she wanted to sell. My wife and I were extremely surprised as we'd been in our "home" since August of 2007. Needless to say we were in somewhat of a state of panic knowing the selling and rental market in the Exeter School District. I have two children and my youngest is a junior at EHS, the last thing we wanted was to put her in a different school system. Kid's are going through enough with our country's current state of affairs!! There were two places available which had three bedrooms, an apartment in Exeter and a house in Stratham NH. The apartment in Exeter would not work as there was very limited parking and we have four vehicles, the apartment was also somewhat small ; interior space. I called Ruffner real estate, Florence and I had done a fair amount of business previously . I explained to Florence our dilemma and she went to work immediately. We were notified on the 5th and by the 12th of January I had a signed lease for the house in Stratham. The house meets all of our needs and we are so excited to move in. As you can expect my children were rather upset moving from a home they had been in for 14 years but with Florence's help it certainly lessened the effect. They are both happy and looking forward to the move now as are my wife and I. My wife, children, and I wish to thank Ruffner real estate (Florence Ruffner) for making what could have been an extremely difficult situation into an easy transition , there are no words!
Thanks so much Florence!!

Read moreI would like to express how appreciative I am that I had Hali Vieira as my agent to help me navigate the sale of my home. For those who are not familiar with selling a home or real estate transactions in general or perhaps you had an unpleasant experience in the past, the process can stir up a range of emotions. In the beginning there is the feeling of uncertainty in making the decision to move forward with selling your home and who you can trust to assist you. Of course you do not begin anything without having an idea of what your desired end goal is to be. For many this varies. In between all of that you expect there to be an ocean of minutiae that many of us do not have the patience nor the time to endure. The best way for me to describe my experience in working with Hali is that my end goal was realized without having to endure any stress. Once Hali and I agreed to work together my home was prepped and set for closing before I had time to pack. I attribute this to Hali's work ethic. She works tirelessly behind the scenes. She is an impeccable multi-tasker. She is efficient. She is seasoned and pro-active in determining the pit-falls ahead. She gave me assurance throughout the entire process. If you are selling your home and decide to work with Hali make sure you have a moving strategy because it will happen fast! ...
Read moreMollie went above and beyond, my experience with Mollie as my Buyers agent was great. She provided me with information on the properties that was instrumental in the decision to buy or walk away. The deal that came together is where her worth as a professional shined, I was a day away from leaving on a vacation out of the country. I provided her the contact info for my bank and seller agent for my home I had under agreement and left her in charge of arranging the details. While I was enjoying my tropical vacation she arranged the title company, septic, inspection, well and coordinated the parties for me. When I touched down back in Boston a week later my inspections were set for that day. Everything went like a well oiled machine. Her professionalism didn't end there, the week of the closing she was on her vacation out of the country. She remained in contact making sure everything was on schedule and that nothing was not addressed. If your buying in New Hampshire or selling and are not using Mollie and Ruffner Real Estate, then your at a disadvantage in this very competitive market. As a former Real Estate agent in Mass, I can tell you that this is the kind of service that's a must to get the best deal for your purchase or sale. Thank you Mollie and Florence Ruffner you have a...
