TESTIMONIALS

"As Real Estate Brokers in Hawaii for more than 40 years, we know how important a good agent is when looking to buy property when you can’t be there. After seeing a property listed by Russ, we called and talked with him. He came across as very knowledgeable, competent, helpful, and friendly so we asked Russ to send us new listings for the type of property we were looking for, which he did. When a property came up that we liked we contacted Russ and had him arrange to show the place to our son who lives in Green Valley. Everything looked great so we had Russ write and present our offer, which was accepted. Russ followed through with everything required and kept us up to date each step through escrow and the final closing. We are very happy with how Russ treated us and made sure everything got done when it needed to be done. Every step of this purchase was handled by phone and email. We recommend Russ to everyone looking for a good agent to represent them in Real Estate."
- J.H., Anchorage AK
"Russ knows all the ins and outs of Sonora at Rancho Sahuarita and his knowledge was really helpful. I had already moved out of the area and he had good people lined up to fix up the minor things that were required in the inspection. "
- W.P., Sahuarita AZ
"Russ has handled a number of real estate transactions for us and we’ve been entirely satisfied with his ability to deal with every aspect in an efficient, resourceful manner. We have complete confidence in him. "
