Rick Hernandez has a Growing Family
Since 2010, Hernandez, a Realtor in the Ruhl&Ruhl Cedar Rapids Office, and his wife have opened their Cedar Rapids home as a host family for foreign exchange "daughters" from South America.

30 Open Houses in 30 Days
Steve Hart, sales associate with Ruhl&Ruhl Realtors, has set a personal challenge for himself: complete 30 open houses in 30 days. Hart held one open house each day from June 16th to July 15th.

Harts open houses can be viewed in the Ruhl&Ruhl ad in the Sunday paper (

"The first time I watched Kate do a buyer consultation all on her own, I saw how good she is. She is really, really good," said Rowland, when asked about her favorite memory at Ruhl&Ruhl.

"I'm not! I'm saying this because I was actually surprised […] I've mentored
