Ruth Pitts Director/Estate Agent

Ruth as a comprehensive background and over 12 years experience in the property industry and have offered my full support to hundreds of customers in this time, whether this is through selling, letting or even just my good honest advice. Being from the local area has really helped with my understanding of the local property market and what is on offer for anyone looking to move or relocate here.

My roots are in South Kirkby and South Elmsall, being born and bred there as well as attending school and college in Featherstone. I got my first passion for customer service working alongside my relatives as part of a family business in hospitality, following this I began working at a small independent estate agents in South Elmsall.
