Meet Michael and Joanna Ruesch
Michael and Joanna Ruesch. A husband and wife team, born and raised in the Lake Whitney area.
Michael + Joanna Ruesch
One of us builds. One of us designs.
We were both born and raised in the Lake Whitney area, and we are raising our own family here. We believe we have been called to serve people well, and we try to show that in how we handle a transaction: straight answers, clear communication, and the same care we would want on the other side of the table.
Between us that is fifteen years in this market and two trades. It means that when you hire us as your Whitney TX realtors, you are not getting one opinion twice. You are getting a read on the structure and a read on the space, at the same showing.
Michael
Construction
He came into real estate from the building side, so he reads a house structurally. What is cosmetic, what is expensive, and what should change the number you offer.
Joanna
Design
She came in from design. She sees what a room could be, and she knows which changes actually return money at resale and which ones simply cost it.

How we work
What you can expect
Honest representation
We will tell you when a house is wrong for you, when the timing is wrong, and when the number you have in mind is not the number the market has in mind.
Two trades, one showing
Michael reads the structure and Joanna reads the space, at the same visit. You get a build opinion and a design opinion without paying for two appointments.
We actually live here
Born and raised on this lake. We know which roads flood, which subdivisions hold their value, and which listings have been quietly relisted twice.
You hear from us
Including the parts you would rather not hear. Silence after two weeks on the market is information, and we bring it to you rather than waiting to be asked.
