I take my role as a trusted advisor very seriously and enjoy the long standing friendships that often follow. A closing is the beginning of a relationship, not the end.

As CFO of Daniel Ravenel Sotheby’s International Realty, she blends financial acumen with market expertise to drive success for both clients and agents.
Born and raised in a 10th-generation family home on Broad Street, Ruthie grew up surrounded by Charleston’s history and charm. She cultivated her love for travel and global culture while earning a BS in History and International Studies from Boston College, later living in Park City, UT, and Strasbourg, France.

Her leadership extends beyond real estate—she serves on the boards of the Historic Charleston Foundation, the South Carolina Historical Society, and the City of Charleston’s Board of Zoning Appeals, demonstrating her commitment to preserving the city’s heritage while shaping its future.
Outside of work, Ruthie enjoys traveling, skiing, and making memories with her husband, Chris, and their two young sons, Ethan and Teddy. Whether helping clients navigate the luxury market or strengthening the firm’s position as an industry leader, Ruthie remains dedicated to delivering exceptional service, unmatched expertise, and a true passion for Charleston real estate.
