Ratings & Reviews

Ed Rounds

Shirley was incredibly helpful! Being an out of State buyer is not an easy thing to deal with as there is a lot more coordination required. Shirley was very helpful in coordinating all of the details that an out of town buyer would have a challenge with. Thank you Shirley for your outstanding efforts.

Shirley Russell is an excellent realtor who's number one goal is to help you find the perfect home. I wanted to buy a home in South Lake Tahoe but lived in Southern California and my work made it hard to travel to Tahoe to view homes. Shirley understood my needs/wants and worked hard to find the houses in my price range. I was able to view the houses virtually and within a few months I found and purchased the perfect home. Even after she closed escrow, Shirley has stayed in touch to make sure my transition into my South Lake Tahoe home has gone smoothly. If you want a realtor who is hardworking, diligent and honest you won't go wrong with Shirley Russell.

My husband and I had an idea to go see more than 16 homes on a Sunday. It was the only day we had off and coming from San Francisco. When we met Shirley a few weeks ago, she had printed out all the homes we wanted to see. She had it all scheduled. We wanted to see 15 mins to 20 mins with each property, which was enough for us. We started at 10:30am. Shirley was very patient with us. She is very professional and understanding. We drove around South Lake Tahoe on a 6 mile radius, around and around, back and forth until the late afternoon..in and out of so many different buildings. By the 8th or 9th property, we had found the ONE. It is now ours. Shirley put in 110% to find us a home in South Lake Tahoe. Thanks Shirley, you are the best.

Shirley was an absolute professional handling my mother’s estate. My situation working with Shirley was remote due to my residence is in New Hampshire. Shirley created the to-do list and expedited/orchestrated the efforts as needed with constant communication and approval. Shirley handled many interactions between all the parties involved as needed. Shirley also acted as a sounding board for options/decisions during the dynamic real-estate market.

Thank You So Much!!!!!

What a wonderful experience we had with Shirley Russell! We have worked with several real estate agents around California, and Shirley by far is the best! Knowledgeable, responsive and professional is what we experienced with Shirley as our agent. We felt that she truly cared about our needs and concerns during the entire purchasing process. She was honest and upfront with every decision we encountered. Thankful for Shirleys guidance and representation. We will defiantly use Shirley again!
