Pearl was amazing to work with. This was my first property I purchased and the first thing we went over was everything that happens in the process when purchasing a property. The crash course was very thorough and she was able to answer all of my questions in a way I could comprehend. She was always available when new paperwork came in that needed my attention. You can tell right away from her experiences that she has seen everything and knows what she is doing. I cannot express enough how great she was to work with. Highly recommend!
First Time Home Buyer
Pearl came highly recommended from a friend when they heard we were looking for our first house. We are so glad we were able to connect with Pearl. She made a very stressful and overwhelming process go by smoothly. She was always available to answer questions and made a point to keep us updated on every phase of the closing. We will definitely recommend her services to anyone we know who is looking to buy or sell.
Pearl and Randy have been so amazing throughout the entire process of selling my home. Not only did they come in and sell my home at lightning speed, they put me at ease the entire time by communicating clearly, honestly, and compassionately.

Selling my home of 10 years and in the middle of a divorce, there was so much to manage. Pearl, Randy, and his wonderful brother came in to help me scrub and organize my house until it sparkled! I couldn't imagine how I would get my garage clean and organized before selling, but their family came in like with a magic wand. Every time I took an anxious deep breath, Randy would say something to make me laugh, or Pearl would offer encouraging words of strength that helped me focus again. When taking a break from cleaning, they shared their lunch with me and we all sat down to have a meal together. I truly can't say how much it has meant to me . . . feeling like I could trust people, at a time when I felt so much uncertainty.

Although Pearl sold my home so quickly, I still hadn't found a place to live. Pearl also advocated to help me stay at least past the holidays to make sure my kids and I wouldn't be without a home or having to transition so quickly after the sale. I was allowed more time in my home without having to pay an extra fee, just enough time to help me find my next place!

I will definitely reach out to Pearl and Randy when I am ready to buy again, to refer someone, and hopefully even to share another lunch (my treat!). Thank you sincerely . . .
Business owner
Pearl, her husband and team have gone above and beyond what my expectations ever where for any realtor. Her customer service and and go getter attitude we’re absolutely amazing! She and her crew came the house providing landscaping and cleaning inside and out to get some of the most amazing photos, I almost wanted to buy my house back! LoL Once listed the house had over 20-30 responses and over 10 solid offers in about 2 weeks.
Thank Pearl and team for helping me and dealing with all of the unmentioned, you all are true professionals!!
It's hard to encapsulate how incredible Pearl is. She put in a lot of hard work, held my hand though the entire process. I had lived in my home for 15 years and was not aware of so many aspects of the selling process. She kept me informed along the way. Nothing was ever delayed and our sale went through perfectly. I can't say enough great things about Pearl.
Pearl and Randy did a wonderful job of selling our home. They were very patient with us and went out of their way to help us organize our sale, packing, and what to do with our extra furniture. They even helped to get our belongings to storage, in spite of bad colds. Carol and John
Buyer
Pearl and Randy have gone above and beyond for my family and I, they are so knowledgeable and professional we will definitely use them again and I highly recommend them both.
Pearl and Randy Ruby recently helped my sister and I sell our parents’ home. They were always helpful, efficient, and professional, and they made the entire process go so much smoother than expected. They know the real estate market and also know the right people to call to get inspections and repairs completed in a timely manner. I highly recommend Pearl and Randy for your home buying and selling needs.
Loan Consultant
Pearl is an Amazing Realtor. She goes the extra mile for her clients every time. Has an outstanding knowledge of the current market and it is always my pleasure to work with her. If you want a realtor that cares deeply about your New Home goals then give Pearl a call.
My parent's home just sold quickly with the help of the Ruby's (Pearl and Randy). We discussed their prior experience in selling homes, they presented a marketing plan, attended the home inspection and appraisal, made sure the buyer was pre-approved, and communicated with me frequently. They handled the transaction with honesty and professionalism and I'm happy to recommend their services to others.
Regional Account Manager
Pearl has what feels like practically become part of my family. She was always very upfront and honest with me throughout the entire transaction. Most importantly she set proper expectations from the get go and was correct all along throughout the buying process. I’m convinced that due to Pearl’s experience we were able to purchase the home that was perfect for my children and I and with no regrets. Thank you to Pearl for taking such great care of my family. You’ve earned a new customer for life.
Loved working with Pearl. She was very responsive to all of our concerns, worked really hard to get the job done, went above and beyond to assist us. She was also helpful in assuring that all the work done (full renovation of the property) was completed on time and done right. All this this was very important to us as we're in Los Angeles and unable to rush over to oversee things. I definitely recommend her and would use her again if needed.
Pearl is AMAZING!!! She is extremely knowledgeable,kind and always quick to respond to questions. She helped make our purchase completely smooth and efficient. She knows the market and doesn't dance around and play games. She truly represents her clients with professionalism. I would highly recommend her and wouldn't consider going through another transaction without her.
Seller
Pearl was amazing. From the very start to the very end. When I buy my next home she is the one I’ll be calling!
Clinical Support Coordinator
Pearl taught me how to make my credit work for me. But in order for that to happen she gave me the tools to clear my credit of any debt and the meaning to having credit cards. If there's any one I know that would be wanting to purchase a home I would definitely refer them to Pearl.
Project Manager
I had a very limited budget to purchase a house for my uncle (considered an investment by the lender.) Pearl worked diligently to ensure I did not look at complete ramshackle houses that required more work than I could afford to take on while also ensuring I did not look at house in neighborhoods that are unsafe for my uncle.

Once we found a house she pushed back on the sellers when they wanted me to pay for all of their fees including the ones that sellers traditionally pay for anyway. Then when the lender did not give me the full seller's credit that we had negotiated (submitted 24 days prior to closing) on the eve before signing and closing of escrow Pearl conferenced on all of my calls to the lender. As we escalated up the chain of command with the lender Pearl held fast and together we were finally able to get lender concession and a refund for the difference between the seller's credit Pearl had negotiated for repairs on the house and what the lender was allowing me to take.

I completely recommend Pearl as your real estate agent. She will go to bat and fight for you whether it is with the sellers or the lenders. She will take care of you throughout the entire process to ensure you're well informed and the house you're considering is both within budget and in the best location for your needs.

IT Systems Engineer
Pearl’s attention to detail was truly a testament of professionalism. Although she was totally committed as a professional realtor, her personal connection towards and understanding the urgency of our family needs was amazing. If you need a realtor that’s truly on your side...just say Pearl your are my realtor.
I would highly recommend Pearl Ahlquist-Ruby to anyone wanting to buy a new home! We needed to moved in 60 days and Pearl found us a home in less than 35 days. Pearl was thorough, she walked us through the process so we felt confident in every decision. Most of all she understood our wants and needs, and was with us every step of the way; she even checked in on us weeks after we bought our home.
Home Buyer
“The Full Circle”
Pearl was recommended by a friend when we had to short sale our house around 6 years ago. It was a very difficult time in our family’s lives. She made sure no one took advantage of us and minimized our worries during the process. Then years later when the house we were renting became available we needed someone to help us react fast and also look out for our best interest. She went out of her way to do everything possible so we didn’t have to deal with our property manager who was also working as the owner’s realtor. At the beginning of the process we knew it would take 30 days to close but with her “get it done attitude”, dedication and knowledge of her job we closed in 19 days. We are extremely thankful that she came into our lives 6 years ago and we would highly recommend her to anyone who is interested in buying a home now or in the future.
Seller
Pearl is amazing to work with. No matter if you are selling a large home or small one. You will know your in good hands when you see her in action doing her magic. She has sold a few of our properties and worked through any bumps in the road with the buyers, banks & escrow! I highly recommend her as your agent. She’s a true professional that looks out for her clients.
