TESTIMONIALS

"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. "

"He is very personable, knowledgeable and reliable. Anytime we had a question or concern, he was right there with the answer. Our buyers were from out of state and had only 1 week to see the house and schedule all inspections. It could have been very stressful for us, but Russ took care of everything in professional and timely manner."
