The Complete Guide to Buying a Home in Arizona

Whether it’s your first or your fifth real estate purchase, the task of buying a home can be overwhelming — the massive amount of information on the internet can be confusing, outdated and in many cases downright inaccurate. Additionally, laws and customs in one state are often not the same when purchasing a home in another community or state.

TESTIMONIALS

"I was so lucky to find Russ. It’s been a long time since I bought a home and working through the stacks of paperwork was daunting! I was so glad to have Russ “be there for me” and to guide me through each step. He was on top of every stage of the home buying process, knew the answers to all my questions and immediately responded (sometimes in minutes). Russ also has a bevy of wonderful local businesses to recommend and a comprehensive website that was exceedingly helpful! You are making a mistake if you don’t use Russ to help you purchase your home in Green Valley, he is A++++."

"My husband and I are honored to recommend Russ Fortuno as the most efficient and professional real estate professional we have had. We feel very blessed to have found Russ while we were still in North Carolina. We planned to relocate to Green Valley, AZ and were interested in establishing a rapport and receiving listings prior to moving cross-country. By the time we arrived Russ pretty much knew what we were looking for. Even though the inventory was not terribly plentiful at the time we found our home the very first day we went looking!!! In addition to helping us find the perfect home, Russ was wonderful to refer us to local contractors and professionals in our area. He is a wealth of information and took the time to answer any questions we had. We also felt the step-by-step timeline Russ includes in his service was very helpful."
- M.P., Green Valley, AZ
"Couldn’t have asked for a better Realtor!! Russ was very friendly and professional, very knowledgeable, great at negotiating and had a great strategy for everything. He kept us up to date and did all the heavy lifting for us. He took the time to find houses that matched our needs, took care of setting up our inspections and handled any issues that came up during the process. Russ made the house buying process smooth and stress free. Really can’t say enough good things about Russ. We had zero complaints. We definitely recommend using Russ as your Realtor. "
