As we reflect on our history from the perspective of the new millennium, we recognize that our continuing growth will result from our ability to adapt to the challenges of the future. Our multi-faceted organization operates in a business environment vastly different from what it was 145 years ago when the company was founded.

Back in 1862, with the Civil War raging and a new military arsenal under construction in Rock Island, an ambitious entrepreneur established a modest one-man insurance office which, through time, grew and prospered with the economy.  In 1899, John H. Ruhl assumed control of the successful agency, and broadened its scope by offering real estate services just one year later. The company quickly became a community and industry leader.  

Now in the fourth generation of Ruhl family leadership, the company has evolved into three independent operations specializing in commercial real estate, residential real estate and insurance.   Currently, NAI Ruhl & Ruhl Commercial Company is staffed with nearly seventy full-time professionals.  Ruhl & Ruhl Realtors, Inc. is a related company with over 200 residential real estate specialists devoted to providing services for housing needs and corporate relocations.  In addition, the original insurance division provides comprehensive services for business and personal insurance needs.

For more than 20 years, NAI Ruhl & Ruhl Commercial has been proud to be affiliated with NAI Global, the world's only managed network of commercial real estate firms working together to help clients strategically optimize their assets. 

Our future will be derived from the ethic that has brought us from the dawn of the Industrial Revolution into the 21st Century. Our commitment to you is to offer the finest professional business real estate service we can deliver, based on our tradition of fairness, integrity, and a sincere interest in your welfare.
