“I had an outstanding experience working with Cinny Chui. What truly set her apart was her genuine care and consistent follow-up throughout the entire process. She didn't just treat me as a transaction; she took the time to understand my needs and was always available to answer questions, no matter how small. Her proactive communication meant I was never left wondering about the next step. Whether it was coordinating viewings, negotiating details, or handling paperwork, she was on top of everything and kept me regularly updated. It's rare to find someone so dedicated and supportive. I felt looked after from start to finish, and I couldn't have asked for a better agent. I highly recommend Cinny Chui to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring professional.”

“Nancy Silwa is an experienced realtor who knows her profession. She knows, and in fact lives in the area, where I was selling my house. This was a bonus as she really had a handle on the market. She walked with me every step of the way so that I understood the process. I was selling a home I had lived in for 43 years. Nancy understood the emotional impact of this decision and gently helped me stay focused on the task at hand: sell the house. She found the perfect buyers. A young couple who will make my house their home. Knowing this made selling my home a little easier. I would and indeed have recommended Nancy to others. She is simply THE BEST!”

Russell offers residents a welcoming, tight-knit community with convenient local services, ample green spaces, and family-friendly events that support a comfortable, active lifestyle.

Russell, IL real estate

Russell blends a rural, border-town feel with quick access to lakeshore recreation and everyday conveniences. Tucked between open fields and forest preserves in northern Lake County, this small community sits moments from Zion, Wadsworth, and the harbor amenities of Winthrop Harbor. Local history buffs love the hands-on exhibits at the Russell Military Museum, where vintage aircraft, tanks, and memorabilia tell powerful stories from the 20th century to today.

Outdoors, residents enjoy miles of wooded trails along the Des Plaines River and easy beach days at the protected dunes and shoreline of Illinois Beach State Park. Anglers, boaters, and birders find year-round options nearby, while cyclists appreciate quiet country roads and forest preserve paths. Dining, groceries, and services are close at hand in neighboring communities, and I‑94 and US‑41 streamline commutes across the North Shore and beyond.

Families are served by established public schools, with many students attending Zion Elementary School District 6 and the well-regarded Zion-Benton Township High School District 126. Community programs, youth sports, and park district offerings in surrounding towns add to the area’s approachable, small-community rhythm.

Whether you’re drawn by the museum’s military heritage, the lakefront, or the space to stretch out, Russell offers a relaxed base with big-time nature and regional connectivity. If you’re considering a move, Agent Pronto can match buyers and sellers with top local real estate agents who know Russell and the surrounding market.
