TESTIMONIALS

"Russ was impressive from the first moment we met him. We were looking at a property in a complex where he just happened to be previewing a unit. We asked if he was a real estate agent and he dropped what he was doing to show us some properties in the same complex. From that moment forward he was attentive, responsive and showed us that he knew the area and was helpful in looking for the right property for us. He got us through the process with ease and even went the extra mile in the offer process to make sure we made the best effort to secure our choice. Can’t say enough about him. Russ is truly a professional in the best sense of the word. "
- M. L., 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."
- M.H., Green Valley AZ
"Russ helped us make our retirement dream a reality. We met Russ in July of 2018 when we made our first house hunting trip to Green Valley, AZ. He listened carefully to what we were looking for in a home and presented us with a list of houses that met our criteria. He helped us through two failed sales on our ou-of-state home, and when our home sold after five months on the market Russ was ready to help us with our home purchase in AZ. He stayed on top of all the important dates, provided us with a wealth of information about the area and links to all the required utilities. Moving is very stressful but Russ took a lot of the stress away with his commitment to quality customer service."
