We are out of state sellers and worked with Kelvin Ruesch. Kelvin made the entire sales process easy and smooth. He was a great communicator and even came over when we were closing up the condo. Kelvin had contacts of people to call to haul away junk, furniture, etc. Kelvin communicated well throughout the process, was pleasant and joy to work with. Thank you, Kelvin for facilitating this sale for these out-of-staters. We appreciated it and would wholeheartedly recommend Kelvin. We would use him for any future buy/sell of real estate in the EC area

Hi Kelvin,
How fast the days fly by! We wanted to take a moment to tell you how appreciative we are to you! All the work you did; the meetings, chats, emails, calls, & messages that kept us up to date when selling our sisters/ sister in-laws condo at 3210 White Oak Lane, Eau Claire!
Thinking back.. the photos that helped sell an empty condo, the listing, hosting an open house the following day, telephoning soon after to say that we have an offer already! Wow!
In meetings we had with you, you were upfront about your concerns of the condo association, lack of condo meetings, only four units owned out of twenty two. You went one step further, talked with Matt, association owner, to discuss those concerns. You followed up on details with him resolving problems that might have multiplied. Ultimately you helped make the condo sale become realistic and trustworthy for both the potential buyers & sellers.
Following the counter offer you arranged for an electrical contractor to come in to complete work ASAP. You made it easy, we didn't need to search for or arrange a time with him. You helped us negotiate a slight reduction in price regarding flooring, agreeable to buyer, and sought out Ray for his garage door opener expertise.
You kept us up to date on the sale of buyer's house (closed a week ahead), documented all the details of the condo sale, title company, deed, state transfer, affidavit, federal guidelines, etc., more paperwork than home sales. You guided Ray through the dates, details, and steps of everything that would be happening in the sale of the condo.
The whole process for us was relaxing, pleasant, fast, and efficient. (approximately one month from start to finish) We felt very confident in your skills & abilities, and experience in real estate.
We're still enjoying our house on six acres in Seymour. When the time comes to think about moving, we will definitely give you a call & pass your name to others in the meantime! We feel fortunate to have found you, (re:Jennifer Fadness), grateful to have worked with you, we praise & applaud your work ethic!
Thank you once again, it was a pleasure for sure!!
Ray & Mary Fandel
Kelvin made the search for my first home an incredibly easy experience. He tirelessly worked around the clock to help me find the perfect home for myself. He always updated me when a new house came on the market and helped set up showings that fit my schedule. He answered all the questions that I had and truly wanted to find a house that I could see myself living in for years. If you want someone with the experience to navigate the housing market and find the perfect house for you, look no further than Kelvin Ruesch. Thomas Rosik
I am privileged to have the opportunity to state "I bought a house today" in such a tough market. It was something we didn't think possible to meet our needs with today's prices, but Kelvin did it.
Thanks to the professional support of Kelvin Ruesch, who wouldn,t give up on us, he made it happen. He did such an amazing job as our realtor. He was incredibly professional, always kept us posted daily when a new condo listing came up and ready to do a showing despite his busy schedule and our timing needs. We were lucky to have a realtor that truly seemed to care, was always ready to keep us up to date on showings and so helpful when we had questions. Thanks Kelvin for all your hard work, were excited about our new home.

If you want a go-to guy in the real estate market that has 40 years of experience and that will give you the most complete service you could ever ask for, Kelvin Ruesch is that person. He worked with us for at least 5 months (selling 100+ acres of land and our home in Durand) and during that period, there was NEVER a time where he wasn't actively working on our behalf. He took the time for us to look at houses so he would have a good idea of what we were looking for though we were in no position then to purchase a house. He would take the initiative to send us listings that he thought we would be interested in.....and we were pretty fastidious customers! He was persistent, but calm and completely professional. He set up home inspections with plenty of time to do any updates required and actions that needed a timeline were duly noted on his office calendar so that the process of what needed to be done and when was timely and smooth. (It was a relief to take some of the burden off our shoulders!) He would go the extra mile to do what we asked of him, and even on short notice, he was always accommodating. He feels he has a responsibility to do the best he can for you and he continuously strives to do that. Believe us, we would have no qualms retaining Kelvin in the future. His top-notch salesmanship and results speak for themselves.

Thanks to my Real Estate Agent, Kelvin Ruesch, of Kleven Real Estate. He sold my home for me on Sherwin Ave in November of 2019. He was very helpful in preparing my home for sale. He was professional and caring. He sold it to a lovely young lady, who I know will love it and take care of it as I did. It was a very special home for me. I would recommend Kelvin to anyone. He made it very personal, and not just business, and I am pleased with the results. Bea A.
We were very happy with the kindness and concern Kelvin had for us and his willingness to work with us, giving us all the information and explanation we needed. We were especially thankful for the quick sale and Kelvin's expertise in handling every detail. Sincerely, Janet & Clarence H. PS We will definitely refer others to Kleven and Kelvin!
Dear Kleven Real Estate, I just wanted to send you a note on what a great job Kelvin did for my wife and me. We told him what we were looking for-we were very picky. The 5th house he showed us was the charm! We knew we had to have it, so we made the offer. it was accepted the next day. Two weeks after we moved in my wife said "Wow! It sure feels like Home and like we've always lived here!" That was the best thing I could hear! Now it was time to get our former house ready to sell. Our house was in the price range that wasn't moving fast and it was going into the "slow time" (Winter). Kelvin listed it and hosted an Open House. On the 2nd Open House not only did he sell it but had a full price offer! It doesn't get any better than that. We can't say enough about Kelvin. If we ever were to sell again no doubt in my mind we would talk to no one else! With Much gratitude, Gary & Chris Giles

Thanks, Kelvin! Doug & Deb
Kelvin Ruesch was my Real Estate Agent and I couldn't have been happier. He held 4 Open Houses in 5 weeks and was easily acessible by text or email. When my Home Inspection cited deficiencies, he hired the electrician and the plumber to take care of them, with fees paid at closing. His recommendations regarding marketing my home were helpful, and he got me a fair price. He even installed two carbon monoxide detectors! I'd heartily recommend Kelvin. Sincerely, Steve Weiss, M.D., Mayo Clinic Health System

We enlisted Kelvin Ruesch with Kleven Real Estate to sell our home in an effort to downsize. We would like to acknowledge Kelvin for his help and advice in getting it Sold.

" I first met Kelvin in 1983 when he worked with me on my purchase of a condo. Since then I worked with him when I purchased a home. I found him to be friendly and very helpful.

His honesty is an important point with me, and he is easy to work with. We were able to sell my Mom's home in a few days! I recommend Kelvin when Buying or Selling!" Janice W.

"Kelvin is the Best!! We took 9 months to find the perfect home for our growing family. Kelvin was by our side the entire way. He was patient, professional, friendly, insightful, and readily available any time we needed him. He even kept our active 2 year-old entertained while we toured homes! During the negotiating process Kelvin was open, honest and dealt with those inevitable "things" that come up confidently, quickly, and with resolve. His experience and contacts in the Chippewa Valley are second to none. We were so impressed with Kelvin that we asked him to sell our existing home. Within 15 days of listing, we had 3 great offers...one for more than the asking price!! When you hire Kelvin, be ready to move!" Sincerely, Brad & Jessica
