About Ruth Rivera
More than a realtor. A protector.
Ruth Rivera is a Broker Associate with Coldwell Banker Realty who has been in real estate since 1992, from agent to managing broker to sales manager. With offices across Florida, she has sold 1,000+ homes across every price point and serves buyers and sellers throughout the state of Florida in English and Spanish. This page tells her story, her credentials, and the standard of care she brings to every client.
The story
A story of family, hard work, and home.
Born and raised in Chicago to Puerto Rican parents, and the daughter of a U.S. Army veteran with 30+ years of service, Ruth knows what it means to work hard and take care of your people. Today she calls Florida home, where she’s spent 30+ years helping buyers and sellers make one of the biggest decisions of their lives.
A wife of 34 years to her soulmate and best friend, and a mother who puts family first, Ruth brings that same heart to every client. She’s also the author of a book written to help real estate professionals reach their full potential, available in English and Spanish.
Fully bilingual in English and Spanish, Ruth’s passion for real estate runs deep. She believes real estate is the number one way to build generational wealth, and she advocates for sustainable homeownership, because everyone deserves the opportunity to own a home, whether for their family or as an investment. When she’s not working, you’ll find her reading, dancing to good music, traveling, or enjoying time with family.
