2026 production figures reported by Jeremy Ruff; updated periodically. Reviews verified via Zillow and Google.

What that looks like in practice: A Chesapeake seller listed in 4 days, under contract in 8, at $20,000 over asking. First-time buyers closed in 21 days. An out-of-state buyer went contract-to-close in under 30. Every one of those numbers comes from the client’s own public review — not from me.
