I work for one of the best and fastest growing mortgage companies in the nation. Prompt underwriting decisions (usually within 24 hours or less), which is incredibly unusual for this industry.
In 1984, our founder, David Ruoff, decided it was time to make a lifelong dream a reality. Having worked in the residential mortgage industry for several different companies since 1959, he knew there was a better way to meet the financial needs of our community. So the Dave Ruoff Mortgage Co. was started in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The name later changed to Ruoff Mortgage Company, Inc. and in 2009 the same entity began doing business as Ruoff Home Mortgage.
Ruoff is proud to be a family owned business. In 2007, son-in-law Mark Music joined the business as the new president. Mark assumed the role of both president and CEO in 2012 when, Dave Ruoff officially retired.
Under Mark Music’s leadership and direction, Ruoff Home Mortgage is now ranked as the number one mortgage lender in Indiana and one of the fastest- growing companies in the country. In the last 10 years, we’ve grown from 18 employees in northeast Indiana to 500 employees at 28 branches in four states.
