TESTIMONIALS

"Anytime, anywhere, he was there, always going the extra mile. He even came to the house and watered trees so they would not die — more then once. He’s what you call real professional, a 10.5 on a 10 scale. I was out of town when the house was listed so he went to the house and did a video. I didn’t see a dishwasher, he said “yes it was there.” That was good enough for me, but he went to house and took picture to show me. He kept me informed every step of the process, and followed-up to ask if I had any questions."

"I have used Russ to purchase and sell about 6 houses. He does a great job. He is very professional and keeps on top of all the details. He has always done a GREAT JOB for me."
- A.T., Green Valley AZ
"My wife and I are now living in a home we saw in person for the first time a few days ago, in fact just an hour before we signed the closing documents. That’s the kind of trust we have in Russ Fortuno. As a buyer’s agent, you could not ask for more. He listened carefully to what my wife and I had in mind and then repeatedly, told us why we wouldn’t be happy with homes we were interested in… until we asked him to take a look at the home we eventually purchased. He went above and beyond what was expected and was always available to answer our questions throughout the process in a very timely manner. I’m not sure I’ve ever experienced service like we received from Russ. I would highly recommend Russ if you are buying a home, especially if you’re not local and you need someone you can count on to look out for your best interests."
