TESTIMONIALS

"This is an agent that really knows the local market and market values. We were under contract in 30 days and he was extremely helpful in assisting us through the inspection process that satisfied us and the buyers. We would highly recommend Russ as his realistic estimates didn’t mislead us and brought more than we had expected as a sales price. Showings began immediately and he would follow up with each real estate agent that showed our home. "
- W.W., Sahuarita 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."
- M.H., Green Valley AZ
"Russ was very helpful with respect to the hunt and purchase of my home in Green Valley. I valued his input as far recommending homes and all the additional info as far as resources in the area. He had to deal with me being in Pennsylvania and handling most of the work long distance. He reviewed the potential homes based on my wants/needs and continually send me lists and updates. By the time I got to Arizona on vacation we went thru the list, visited sites and made a choice in one day. I would gladly recommend Russ to any possible client in the future. Can’t thank him enough. "
