At Vutech | Ruff, we believe the experience of buying or selling a home should feel personal, not transactional. It should feel thoughtful, not rushed. Most of all, it should feel inspired.

Marilyn Vutech and Jeff Ruff have built what is one of the most trusted real estate teams in Central Ohio, in large part because both believed in a different way of doing business. One that prioritized people over process, relationships over volume, and community over competition. 

That same mindset guides our team today. Every phone call, showing, listing, and late-night contract review is approached with care and intention. We don’t try to be all things to all people. We focus on being the right team for those who want a truly personal experience.

While we don’t try to be all things to all people, we certainly wear a lot of hats to ensure our clients get the best experience possible.  

Market Analyst 

We stay on top of pricing trends, neighborhood shifts, and data that helps you make smart decisions. With decades of combined experience and in-depth knowledge of Central Ohio real estate, we offer real insight, not guesswork. 

Matchmaker 

Finding the right home or investment property isn’t about luck. It’s about listening closely and knowing how to connect people with places that reflect their goals and their lifestyle. 

Negotiator 

We advocate fiercely, clearly, and professionally. From the first offer to the final walkthrough, we handle the moving parts so you can move forward with confidence. 

Connector 

Over the years, we’ve built a reliable network of inspectors, stagers, lenders, contractors, and specialists we trust. When we refer someone, it’s because we have worked with them before, and we’d hire them ourselves. 

Teammate 

This process takes teamwork, and we show up every day to make sure you’re supported. We collaborate as a group, share knowledge, and lean on each other to get things right. 

Lifelong Resource 

The end of a transaction is not the end of the relationship. Many of our clients come back to us for years—sometimes decades—after they’ve bought or sold. Whether they’re ready to make another move, thinking about a renovation, or just need advice, we’re always here. 

This is more than a job. It’s a long-term commitment to the people and neighborhoods we care about. We’re proud to own and work from our office in German Village, where our doors are open seven days a week. We believe in being available, in collaborating face-to-face, and in building something lasting—just like Marilyn and Jeff set out to do from the beginning. 

Real estate can be fast-paced and impersonal. But it doesn’t have to be. At Vutech | Ruff, we slow it down just enough to make sure every decision, every detail, and every moment reflects your needs and tells your story. 

We’ve never been interested in following a corporate model. We’re here to do something better. Something more connected. Something inspired.
