Testimonials

In expert time-sensitive overall accomplishment as well as details of graciousness, the Bruder Team --- benefiting immeasurably from Evelyn Bruder's 36 years of experience --- far exceeded our expectations for excellence in our recent move from the eastern U.S. to Las Cruces, NM.

Using their in-depth knowledge of the Las Cruces market and neighborhoods matched to our needs and preferences in housing, Evelyn Bruder and Ron Bruder hand-picked a robust sampling of listings and, after video tours by Ron who took the lead in the transaction, we were under contract.

Due to a recent lengthy hospitalization in the family, traveling to Las Cruces was infeasible so the Bruder Team handled matters for us long distance by combining modern communication technology with good old-fashioned telephone responsiveness.

The timing for our move was tight, and whenever we needed speed, Ron was available by phone immediately to take the laboring oar on getting people together to sign documents with expedition and do whatever was required. With Ron’s help we negotiated some repair funds against purchase price after home inspection. Then we closed on time on a home that truly suits our situation now.

After closing, before we were in Las Cruces the Bruder Team (kudos also to gifted assistant Leann) helped us get our utilities turned on and facilitated a repair so that electrical breakers would be working at 100% wherever our interstate movers might need access four days post-closing.

On move-in day in Las Cruces, Ron was ready to meet the movers and truck even if we’d had an unexpected delay in transport. (We didn’t.) Ron met us (and the movers) in the early morning at the house with keys and garage openers; even the graciousness of a housewarming gift from the Bruder Team.

The Bruders: Lovely people, and so accomplished in their field as well.

In a lifetime of many moves cross-country and abroad (beginning as a U.S. Navy pilot’s kid, continuing with a multi-state career), never have I experienced real estate professionalism as amazing as the Bruder Team’s for buying a house long-distance with relocation services for the purchase transaction.

If I could give the Bruder Team a rating of a million stars, they’d have them!

Ron Bruder, aside fom being an astute negotiator is a genuinely "nice guy". His no pressure demeanor is a very calming effect in the high pressure real estate business. Ron's negotiating skills got me the home I wanted at a profoundly exceptional price.
I would recommend him without reservation to anyone in need of a Real Estate professional. Ron is the proverbial "real deal".

As a military family, we often have to complete real estate transactions virtually which forces use to rely on agents heavily and, as you can imagine, trust is vital. Evelyn and Ron were awesome at making us feel comfortable as we purchased our next home in Las Cruces. What helped is that these agents live in the area and can give you real time information about the real estate markets in Las Cruces, especially areas with great schools. Without question, Evelyn gave us tours of multiple properties and provided us with her honest opinion, which was helpful and on point. We are lucky to have found them. As I mentioned in these type transactions, trust is important and this real estate duo really did a nice job of gaining our trust and keeping us informed. I never felt surprised about the next steps. They had answers for every question that we had and we had a ton. I would recommended them to anyone moving to the Las Cruces area.

My husband and I have dreamed for many years of retiring from Indiana to the southwest. After talking with a friend who retired to Las Cruces we decided to go for it. We contacted the Bruder Real Estate Team and Ron immediately went into action to help us find a home that fit us in every way. He even made a video of the house we were interested in so we could get a real feel for it. We made an offer, sight unseen, and through Ron's expert help we bought the house. He was there any time we needed a question answered and made the whole relocation process much easier. You can't go wrong with the Bruder Real Estate Team!

OUTSTANDING!!! Looking for a Realtor? We we're after our home was engulfed by a California wildfire. Knowing nothing about Las Cruces other than what we read, we decided to explore buying a home there. After one Realtor failure, we we're fortunate to work with the Bruder Real Estate team of Evelyn and Ron Bruder. Their reviews and accolades proved to be accurate and truthful. Lifelong residents of Las Cruces added the elements of history, development and insight. It's difficult to summarize our entire experience with Evelyn and Ron in a few words but the support and knowledge we gained proved instrumental in our decision to buy a home in Las Cruces. Working primarily with Ron, our expectations of what the services of a quality Realtor could provide increased ten-fold. We now have a new gold-standard for a Realtor. Each of the following characteristics we found with Ron. Each could have a paragraph on its own but to simplify, the following adjectives describe our thoughts on Ron: Professional, Knowledgeable, Dedicated, Reliable, Informative,. Thorough and delightfully Entertaining. Throughout the whole process, we felt like Ron had our backs and we were the most important client he had. He is well versed in the process and added so many additional support requirements for us while we remained in California until our home closed. Evelyn and Ron opened the door and our hearts to Las Cruces in a way that immediately made us feel at home with a couple of friendships as a by-product of our home buying experience.

Thank you Ron. Your knowledge of real estate in this unique market was fabulous. The very quick sale of our home was painless. Your professional and relaxed not pushy attitude is very reassuring and facilitates a rational consideration of options.
