Ruth Kennedy Sudduth

I am a partner in the Boston office of law firm of Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge LLP and deal exclusively with matters relating to private clients. In my practice I act for clients who are buying and selling substantial residential real estate. In additional, as an executor and trustee I sell important real estate for the respective estate or trust. I have used the services of numerous real estate brokers over the years. Ruth has acted for me on several occasions and I have be most impressed at her unique ability to make the client comfortable, to be sophisticated, proactive and hands-on in doing whatever need to be done to close the sale and in addressing whatever legal issue arise during the negotiation of the P & S and pre-closing. In all respects, Ruth is my preferred real estate broker.

I would like to strongly recomend Ruth Kennedy from Landvest. She managed to make searching for a one of a kind, multi million dollar home both comfortable and fun, while doing a masterful job of finding the right the right property, doing the research, and dealing with odd owners in a relaxed and effective manner. Highly recomended.

As a civil engineer specializing in the real estate development field, I work with dozens of real estate agents on a regular basis. Of all the agents I've dealt with, Ruth Kennedy Sudduth of LandVest is far and away the best! Intelligent and articulate, she is a true professional who has a thorough understanding of the market and the real estate development business. I have seen her formulate complicated deals that subdivide the existing residence from surplus land, produce additional value with limited development of the land, and secure tax deduction for the seller from the donation of conservation restrictions and open space to a conservation organization. The seller maximizes the dollars in her pocket and the preserved open space becomes an asset for the entire community to enjoy. Furthermore, Ruth is able to explain complex projects such as this in a relaxed, common sense way that even people with no real estate background can easily understand. Without hesitation I enthusiastically recommend Ruth Kennedy Sudduth of LandVest

Good morning Ruth and Story, We are finally settled after down- sizing from thirty-six years in our Norwich farm to our new life style in Hanover NH. As you knew it was a challenge to make such a dramatic shift in lifestyle and leave our beautiful property to explore new venues. We both want to thank you so very much for all the help and support you gave to us during the last couple of years. You both were always encouraging, honest, and so hard working on our behalf. We have not bought or sold property for many years and you made the whole experience a positive one. Your professionalism and your support system through Christies Real Estate was so helpful and far reaching. The web site was superb and most of all, you heard our concerns and questions and always tried to address them in a timely fashion with the expertise that we so needed and were grateful to have found. Your personal approach, attention to detail and willingness to be helpful was appreciated as you prepared us for each step in the process of selling our property. You made a great team. Story, you were amazing with all your attention to detail. We will continue to recommend you to any one who might need your help and please feel free to call us anytime if we can help you or your clients in any way. We hope we can get together in the future and our love of horses will bind us all. Thank you for your support of GHMA. That was a wonderful gift. Sincerely, Sarah and Steve S.

Ruth Kennedy Sudduth did a terrific job marketing and selling our home. After over 20 years in Woodstock, we were quite attached to the homestead, and yet wanted to move on. Ruth made us feel she loved the old house as much as we did, and understood how to position it in a thin market. She worked with us on what improvements to make - a sanded floor here, a cleaned out shed there. So when Ruth listed the house, the pictures were taken and the property mapped. We took her professional guidance on price, and the house was under agreement for full price in one weekend. If you are looking for a real pro, and one that is a bucket of fun to work with, look no further than Ruth Kennedy Sudduth of LandVest.

We are grateful for - and our transaction benefited significantly from - the focused, tireless and wise leadership by Ruth Kennedy Sudduth in the management of the disposition of an important family property. Given the characteristics of the property and the local residential market, this was a far more complex process than we expected it would be but the team LandVest assembled to work with us was there at every juncture, leading the way with directly relevant experience, anticipating requirements, suggesting responses when required of us and addressing with sensitivity every aspect important to all parties on both sides of the sale. It has been a great privilege to have had the opportunity to work with Ruth and her team at LandVest.

Ruth's keen intelligence manifested itself as our broker. She knows the market and trends. In our case, over and above the regular data of the property, she was able to effectively communicate to the buyers the details of our Conservation Restriction and our Chapter 61 designation. We felt confident that her interactions with the buyers were always open, honest and correct, all the while keeping our interests as top priority. Ruth's demeanor is very pleasant and engaging. She always responded immediately to every text or call we made, regardless of day or hour. In fact, we're quite certain she never sleeps. We would highly recommend Ruth and her LandVest team.

Ruth Kennedy Sudduth is a thoughtful, make-it-happen deal maker. If she can't sew it together herself, she will find the team to make it happen. I highly recommend working with her.
