All the Way Realty Group

All the Way Realty Group is a residential and commercial real estate brokerage located at 104 Melrose St in Rochester's 19th Ward neighborhood. Founded in 2001, the firm has operated for over two decades under broker and owner Ruth Brooks Ward, a licensed New York State real estate broker and notary. The brokerage is a women-owned, veteran-owned, and minority-owned small business with a focused team serving the Rochester market.

All the Way Realty Group handles a range of property types across residential, commercial, and rental categories. Their services include:

• Buyer and seller representation for homes, condos, and investment properties
• Commercial real estate transactions
• Rental property placement
• REO (bank-owned) property management and disposition
• Notary signing services
• Advisory guidance on affordability, credit considerations, and income qualification

The brokerage also works with fixer-upper properties and tenancy-in-common (TIC) arrangements. Office hours run Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

All the Way Realty Group holds professional affiliations with the National Association of Realtors and the Greater Rochester Association of Realtors. The firm carries a U.S. Department of Transportation Disadvantaged Business Enterprise certification under Ruth E. Brooks Ward's name. With roughly 25 years of continuous operation from the same 19th Ward address, it is one of the longer-running independent brokerages in the neighborhood.

The office sits on Melrose Street in the 19th Ward, one of Rochester's largest residential neighborhoods on the city's southwest side. The 19th Ward is a historically diverse community that borders the Genesee River and traces its roots to a 19th-century milling settlement known as Castletown. Thurston Road, a main commercial corridor, runs nearby and connects the area to other southwest Rochester neighborhoods. The brokerage's Melrose Street location is within a few blocks of several churches, community organizations, and the 19th Ward Community Association, placing it at the center of the neighborhood it primarily serves.
