James recently sold a property I had listed for over two years unsuccessfully with some other realtors, and he sold it in about 10 days. He is really a friendly and nice person, who actually works hard for his clients. I am getting ready to list another property with him.

James Russ was my listing realtor. He was most honest, responsible and reliable. He sold my home to a terrific buyer, worked well with their realtor, brought all of us together to make for a smooth transaction. I not only would recommend him as my first choice of realtor in Ruidoso, I have hired him to sell another property for me. Many thanks, James!

He did an excellent job by even cutting his commission to make the deal work. However, I feel if he had gotten written offers rather than verbal offers we would have had less communication problems. It may have been the other agent's problem but it would have saved some headaches. Otherwise, he did a good job and I was very happy to get the property sold!

James did a great job of helping us sell our property in New Mexico. We live outside of New Mexico and he was able to work on the Internet using safe methods to get us through the sale process efficiently and safely. I would not hesitate to recommend you ask him to make your sale in Lincoln County.

Since this was our first time buying a home I wasn't sure what to expect. James was very professional, he wasn't pushy at all. He took us to see over thirty houses and through it all I felt no pressure to make a quick decision. Even after purchasing a home, James help us find repair men to fix a few things before we moved in. He has made going through this process as painless as possible.

James is very passionate and professional about real estate in Ruidoso, New Mexico. Making sure the client finds what they want, no matter what day or time he's just a call away. Just give him your wants and needs in a home, condo or townhome, he makes it his mission to find your next great home. He can connect you with whomever you may need to do work also after the deal is closed. He knows many good people. He helps make the process of buying a home easy.

Jim has gone above and beyond in finding us a home. We started looking with Jim 2 years before we were able to buy a home. Our home in Texas was taking forever to sell but we still wanted to look. Jim was very patient and took us to look even though we all knew we couldn't buy yet. Once our home sold, he found us a lovely new home in our price range. We still are 300 miles away but Jim has taken care of all the things many other realtors wouldn't have. He has saved us many trips and lots of aggravation. If you want a realtor that truly listens to what you want and need, call Jim. He is the professional of the professionals.
