Ive had the pleasure of working with Russ twice now, and both experiences have been outstanding. He is incredibly attentive, detail-oriented, and truly goes above and beyond to ensure a smooth transaction. This most recent sale was particularly challenging since I live overseas, but Russ made the entire process seamless. He handled every detail with care, kept me updated every step of the way, and thanks to his expertise, I received an offer within just two weeks. If youre looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable realtor who will make buying or selling stress-free, I highly recommend Russ!

Russ is a total pro - smart, amazing market knowledge, and so willing to go the extra mile when we sold our home and bought a new one. He hooked us up with fantastic contractors and made the whole process smooth and easy. I can't recommend him highly enough!

Russ did an amazing job negotiating for my wife and I. We told him what we were looking for, and when he came back with the seller's counteroffer, we were initially inclined to accept it. However, Russ told us he thought we could still do better and asked for permission to push back further on the seller. We nervously agreed -- but Russ was right! He got us an amazing deal on a fantastic property, and we couldn't have done it with him.

We recently purchased a home in Seattle with the help of Russ, who helped coordinate the entire purchase despite us residing on the East Coast. Through virtual walkthroughs and instant communication, Russ made the process extremely smooth and efficient. He is an extremely genuine person whose record speaks for itself, and is the best realtor I have ever worked with. Rather than trying to quickly aEURoesell usaEUR? on a particular house, Russ would consistently provide his honest assessment and concerns about each property based on his understanding of our interests. His patient and detailed approach to finding the right house for us was much appreciated and we never felt rushed or that we were inconveniencing him. Although this was not our first time buying a house, Russ would point out many helpful things that we hadnt considered. His knowledge of the neighborhood we purchased in (Magnolia) was second to none. He personally knew the listing agent(s) of properties of interest to us, and he even knew the prior owners of some of the homes we toured. As mentioned in other reviews, he is extremely well connected with all the local professionals you would need (e.g. he was able to arrange for a highly rated home inspector to review a home within a day of our request). I would choose Russ for all future home sales/purchases because of his integrity, rapid communication and vast experience/knowledge of real estate.

Russ was a pleasure to work with throughout our long process. We were first time homebuyers and Russ made sure we were comfortable throughout each offer we made (6 in total!) - in such a competitive market, having Russs expertise available to us was critical. We ended up with the perfect house for us, in the area we wanted, and couldnt be happier. Thank you, Russ!!
