Ruhl&Ruhl Realtors is moving their office to downtown Muscatine. They will be relocating from 1500 Plaza Place to 226 E. 2nd Street, most recently Ace Hardware and before that it was Stiles Downtown Drug. The company plans to relocate their 24 employees and sales associates by the end of August.

The building was recently sold by HON to Tom and Ann Meeker and Ruhl&Ruhl is leasing the property from the Meekers. “We are thrilled to be working with Ruhl&Ruhl and look forward to having them as an addition to our downtown”, comments Tom Meeker. “The property will provide a great visual welcome to the area for residents and visitors alike. Caroline Ruhl and her staff are terrific people; it’s been a very enjoyable collaboration for us.” Together Ruhl&Ruhl and the Meekers will invest over $300,000 to update and refurbish the property.

A grand opening for clients and the community will be held in September.

Our agents and staff are excited about the expansion of our facilities that will help provide current residents and future residents with the great service that Ruhl&Ruhl has become known for.” The high tech office is being designed to accommodate significant expansion by Ruhl&Ruhl – enabling them to office 35 sales associates and 3 staff.
