Ruth Ann Mertens, Realtor, CHMS

I specialize in residential real estate in north and northwest Oklahoma City, Edmond, and the rapidly-growing west metro OKC area, including Yukon and Piedmont. I love what I do, and put that enthusiasm to work for both buyers and sellers. I take good care of my clients!

I like travel and gardening, as well as scrapbooking, photography, and home decor and design and watching HGTV and history and natural history channels on TV. My hustand and I celebrated our 40th anniversary three years ago with a wonderful trip to Paris. We are part of a game group and a dinner group, and like to spend time with friends and our two daughters and son-in-law.
