TESTIMONIALS

"Honest with facts and straight forward with helpful guidance. Our purchase was long distance in nature. It is important to work with someone, like Russ, you can trust."
- J.N., Green Valley AZ
"Russ is a very good marketer. He sold our home in one day! He listens and responds promptly with his knowledge of the area and sound advice on selling or buying a new home. Russ exhibits honesty and integrity. He was always ready to help us. He is willing to try new ideas. He made our stressful decisions easier. We recommend him with pleasure."
- J.B., Green Valley AZ
"Russ is the best agent on the planet, bar none! He came highly recommended to me and I suggest everyone should work with this stellar man. Russ is a fantastic negotiator. I don’t think another agent would have been able to seal this deal as well as Russ. He knows when to back off and when to apply pressure. Russ is always a gentleman and treats everyone with respect. He has a good sense of humor and although a bit dry, he really makes you chuckle when the chips are down. I came to Green Valley hoping to have an accepted offer on a house in one week. Russ did it! And, my house is very special. Plus I was on a tight budget. Russ has the patience of a saint and will answer a dumb question 4 times over if need be. His knowledge of local contractors and laws specific to your purchase is more than helpful. Russ has a great knowledge of the area in general and he works to find you just what it is you are looking for. Russ listens. Rare quality in a man, hu? And, he’s a dog lover! "
