Ratings & Reviews
Russell was our agent when purchasing a condo in downtown San Francisco. During the purchasing process, Russell demonstrated the top-level realtor agent's skills, knowledge and professions. My wife and I were impressed by his passion, persistence, hard work, and understanding of the SF neighborhood. Whenever we had any questions or concerns, we could communicate with him via either text, phone, or email. Russell could provide us with the feedback within a day or less. Our multi-way communication with the owner, the seller agent, and the escrow officer was very efficient. As a buyer’s agent, Russell provided service far beyond an average agent's. I strongly recommend Russell’s service. He is the best agent I have ever seen so far!
Russ was excellent in helping us secure the right home in the right neighborhood in San Francisco. We
are grateful for his thoroughness and commitment to clients. The process was fast and efficient.Thanks for a good home-buying experience!
Russ was my agent in the purchase of a condo in San Francisco. He is extremely knowledgeable about the San Francisco market. As a first-time homebuyer, Russ was incredibly patient and thorough in helping me understand the process, making sure I made informed decisions, and generally representing my best interests. He was extremely responsive and accessible via multiple modes of communication, and was flexible to accommodate my schedule. He also has a broad network and introduced me to a fantastic home mortgage consultant who I ended up working with. I had a great time working with Russ and look forward to working with him again the next time I look to purchase property.
Russ helped me purchase my first home in downtown San Francisco during the summer of 2022. He was extremely patient and proactive with me, taking the extra time to walk me through essential documents and checking in frequently. My first home-buying experience was positive and effortless, mainly due to Russ's professionalism, knowledge, and expertise. On responsiveness - Russ always answered my questions in less than a day. This helped me understand the next steps at every milestone and kept the process moving. On negotiation skills - during negotiation, Russ set realistic expectations with me and drafted a competitive counteroffer that I was satisfied with and accepted quickly. On professionalism and communication - when I had to travel abroad unexpectedly during closing, Russ proactively communicated my schedule/plans to all parties involved (seller, escrow, mortgage officer) to avoid impacts to closing. I highly recommend Russ and hope to work with him again some day!
I met Russell at a beautiful open house in the area I was renting in at the time, and I was immediately struck by how personable he was and how easy it was to have a genuine conversation with him. He asked all the right questions to gauge my interest as a first-time homebuyer, and he left such a positive impression that later that month, we had our first consultation, which began the next few months of working together to find my dream home. Throughout the home search, Russell always put 110% into helping me find the best match and educate me on real estate terms, the local housing market, and mortgages. Throughout the process, I always felt fully supported by Russell in both the emotional journey of buying a first home and in navigating the housing market and the loan process, which I am now comfortable with, thanks to his mentorship. I still can't believe how lucky I am to have landed my dream home with his help. I would wholeheartedly recommend working with him!
Russ is a great communicator who takes the time to answer any question fully, who listens with an open mind to understand the kind of home his clients need, and who is ready to cheer with you when your search for a property is going well and help you navigate challenges when the market is more complicated.
My family of three met Russ at an open house, and he immediately struck us as knowledgeable and authentic.
We were relatively new to San Francisco, and Russ helped us focus our search and understand what we could buy within our desired budget.
Russ has a strong network of industry colleagues and leverages that network to help his clients work through any challenge.
We enjoyed working with Russ while buying our home in San Francisco and recommend him without hesitation!
I think Russell was a great agent. He worked for both sides and I found him impartial and most
interested in closing the deal. He went above and beyond to get the deal closed and I truly
appreciate the excellent service he provided. I definitely will recommend him to other buyers.
I’m very glad I was able to work with Russell during my time searching for a home. He went above and beyond working around my hectic work schedule, offered to take me around for open houses when I mentioned I didn’t have a vehicle, and spent considerable time learning about what I liked in a home and what I needed. Most times I don’t even know what I want but his insightful questions helped clarify what I was looking for better than I could have.
His expertise, positive attitude and patience with me was second to none. I felt fully informed, confident in my decisions and able to ask for advice if I wasn’t confident. Our time together was short but seeing just a few other realtors during open houses I knew I had made the right decision.
