Meet Corey Ruffin — Your Local Real Estate Expert for Renton, Bellevue, and South Seattle
Joining Windermere Real Estate Bellevue West was the smartest move I’ve made in my real estate career. After years of working at a smaller, independent brokerage, I realized I needed more than hustle—I needed resources, structure, and support. Windermere offered all that and more, transforming the way I serve clients across Bellevue, Renton, and South Seattle.
From Independent Agent to Empowered Professional
At my previous brokerage, I wore every hat. I handled marketing, negotiated contracts, built listing presentations, and ran open houses—mostly on my own. It made me resourceful, but it also slowed me down.
With Windermere Bellevue West, I’m backed by a full-service team, proven systems, and a culture of collaboration. Now, I can spend more time doing what I do best: helping buyers and sellers win.
Choosing the Right Brokerage Matters
If you’re new to real estate or thinking about making a move, let me offer some hard-earned advice: the brokerage name behind you matters more than you think.
When I started out, I joined a smaller office where, for years, things just didn’t feel right. I thought I needed to stick it out and build from scratch. But over time, I realized that being part of a brokerage that doesn’t align with your goals or values can limit your growth.
Once I experienced how a real brokerage operates—one with systems, leadership, support, and a strong local reputation—I was enlightened. If you feel like something isn’t working, trust your instincts. Always follow your intuition and make a move when you know it’s time. That shift changed everything for me, and it might for you too.

Technology is a major advantage at Windermere Real Estate Bellevue West. From automated listing presentations and real-time market reports to AI-powered lead tracking, the platform helps me work faster and deliver better results.

Windermere’s presence across the Eastside and Seattle isn’t just for show—it’s functional.
