Our favorite part of October? Helping 29 families find their way home! 🍂🏡

Between the busy schedules and changing seasons, these families were making big moves—and we’re grateful they chose to make them with us.

We get to know the people behind every closing: what they’re hoping for, what they’re nervous about, and what getting those keys means to them. Being there to answer questions, work through challenges, and celebrate when it all comes together is why we love what we do.

To our clients and Realtor partners, thank you for trusting The Rife Group and recommending us to the people you care about. And to our team, thank you for the care and effort you put in long before closing day arrives.

Wrapping up October with full hearts and 29 reasons to be thankful. 🧡

Meet John! 👋 A follower of Jesus, husband, and father with a heart for helping others.

Faith is at the center of John’s life. He’s deeply involved in his church, attended seminary, and continues to serve as a Christian counselor-helping create a safe, supportive space where people can find Christ-centered encouragement, hope, and direction. His humility and care for others shine through in the way he supports people through life’s important moments.

Outside of work, you’ll find John enjoying walks with his wife, daughter and their two dogs, Lulu and Dash, watching baseball, or settling in with a good book. 💙

That same caring spirit carries into his work as a Loan Officer. With extensive mortgage knowledge and previous experience in real estate, John understands the homebuying process from multiple perspectives. He takes the time to help clients understand their options, feel supported, and move forward with confidence.

We’re grateful for the knowledge, kindness, and heart John brings to The Rife Group—and we love getting to share a little more about the person behind the loans!

A whole year of having Angie Hop on our team—and we’re so glad she’s here! 💙

Today, we’re celebrating Angie’s first anniversary with The Rife Group! Her 33 years of mortgage experience bring so much to our team, but it’s who she is as a person that makes us especially grateful to have her. She’s thoughtful, easy to root for, and cares deeply about the people she works with and the clients she helps.

And with “Eye of the Tiger” as her hype song, you know she brings a little fire, too! 🐯🎶

Angie, thank you for a wonderful first year. We love having you as part of The Rife Group and look forward to many more!

Help us wish Angie a happy work anniversary! 🎉
