Michael L.

"Bill is very professional and has helped us with numerous properties in the South Bay. He knows the "location, location, location" of what you need in the South Bay. He's the most expert and professional we have worked with. I highly recommend Bill for any of your properties in the South Bay (Palos Verdes, Rancho Palos Verdes, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Torrance, Redondo Beach, El Segundo, and many more). The best in the business!"

Breee G.

"Bill is my go-to for all things real estate. Commercial, residential, leasing, and buying. I cannot say enough great things about him. He is very thorough, prompt, and professional. And he's a really nice guy too. There's a reason why you see his name everywhere. He's the best! He is an avid and generous supporter of community events both large and small, he supports small businesses and probably does not seek credit for many donations behind the scenes. You'll see his name on menus, little league t-shirts, community events, etc."

Sharon S.

"Bill is a very dedicated agent. He makes himself available for you anytime. He has been my realtor for 25 years and never disappoints. His knowledge in the business is second to none. Just closed on a property and am so happy. Thanks, Bill"

Michael L.

Breana G.

"The reason you see Bill’s name everywhere in El Segundo and the surrounding area is: he’s the best. He’s super knowledgeable about all things real estate whether it’s commercial, residential, 1031, buying, selling, or leasing. He’s very professional and responds quickly. He also sponsors endless community events, small businesses, fundraisers, and probably a lot more. Some he never seeks credit for. If you're looking for a real estate professional who gives back and knows what he’s doing, call Bill."

"I was introduced to Bill Ruane by my brother who had done previous real estate transactions with him for his business. We hired him to sell our mother's house after she passed. The sale of her home became somewhat complicated because we ended up in probate and she had a large reverse mortgage against it (with a very difficult lender). Thankfully, we had Bill Ruane as our broker! He always has a positive attitude and instinctively knows the best way to handle things. Whenever you call him, he answers right away, or texts you to t...

"This was the smoothest house sale I ever had. Bill and his team made it work like clockwork and they never missed a beat. I have dealt with many real estate agents in the past and Bill provided the smoothest and easiest transaction. It’s great to work with someone that lessons to what the customer wants and delivers. Thanks so much for making this so easy to sell our house and working with us to keep it simple and easy.

The team, and I do mean team, have been wonderful and I want them to know how much we appreciated them. My wife really loved the weekly flowers and I hope to continue that once we move into our new house. I know we will keep in touch and let each other know how things are going. I’m sure in the future we will be doing more business like income property or other real estate transactions so we will keep in touch. Thanks again for the smooth transaction and the refrigerator. I know we can use the refrigerator for our bar."

Seller

"Bill sold several properties for my husband and me over the past few years, inlcuding residential income property and both my mother’s and my mother-in-law’s homes after they each passed. He and his associates are very helpful, knowledgeable, personable, and they just get it done. We did a 1031 exchange involving three very different properties that had to be sold within a fairly short period of time. We just closed on the last property and were able to successfully complete our exchange. And we live out-of-state. Bill and his office ...

We did a 1031 exchange involving three very different properties that had to be sold within a fairly short period of time. We just closed on the last property and were able to successfully complete our exchange. And we live out-of-state. Bill and his office kept us informed and up-to-date on how the sales were progressing, and on two of the three properties he got us more than the asking price. Bill provided his assistance in numerous ways and was always gracious. We can’t thank him and his associates enough for what was a very positive experience."

"It was 27 years ago that my parents first met Bill Ruane. Bill worked with my parents to find investment property. He found for them a wonderful townhouse investment in El Segundo. Several years later he found for them a single family residence also in El Segundo. Both of the properties were great investments. Bill also worked with my parents to find very good renters as was needed over the years. He has always been available to them.

"If I didn't know any better I would have thought that I was Bill's only client. He got back to me so quickly and at all hours of the day and night. He was always positive and upbeat. He shielded me from some difficult negotiations with the seller's agent. He was able to close the deal in a hot market and gave great advice during the process. He was professional and knowledgeable and so very generous even after closing. I highly recommend Bill! What a joy it was working with him and his team!"

Heather S.

"We wish we could give six stars in all categories. Bill Ruane and his team are absolutely the best. So friendly, so responsive, so knowledgeable, and so attentive to all of the many details. No question was a dumb question and they were with us every step of the way during our home search and purchase. Moving from across Los Angeles, we had no idea what the housing market or local flavor were like in El Segundo. Bill was like a host, tour guide, local insider and realtor in one. We are so happy and excited to have found our family hom...
