Heidi Colbrese | Ruhl & Ruhl
I am excited to meet new people and be a reliable part of the exciting, and sometimes scary, step of life that is buying or selling a house. Whatever your reason, your needs and wishes are important to me!
A little about me, I met my husband, Egan, at Loras College, in Dubuque, Iowa. He is an original from the Quad Cities. We both entered the education field. Together, we have flipped several homes, (which triggered a greater appreciation for houses and budgets.) After traveling to many different places and starting a family, we moved back to the area to be closer to his family. We are very invested in the diverse communities that make up the Quad Cities area as this is where we choose to raise our four children.
Many dreams start in a great home! Let me help you make dreams come true!
