We moved to Knoxville from out of state, and it can be really difficult to figure out where you want to live when you don't know the area. After our first conversation, Russell understood the type of house we were looking for and the type of area we were looking to live in. We toured the home we ultimately bought, and he made astute observations about things to consider. Russell is knowledgeable about the Knoxville market, he's sharp, has good contacts for ancillary services, and is responsive. Russell is everything you're looking for in a great realtor, and I cannot recommend him enough. 2024
I've dealt with many Realtors over the years and many were perfectly good at what they did, but I always felt like I wished they communicated more often about how things were going. Russ was great at communication. I always felt like I knew what was going on, especially since we had already moved out of state. And anytime I had a question, he was always available via text or email. Anytime he needed us to sign anything or do anything, his instructions were clear. This is helpful for people who don't buy and sell houses everyday. I would recommend Russ to anyone wanting to buy or sell in Knoxville and the surrounding area. 2024
I have nothing but praise for Russ. This was my third real estate transaction with him, and I can't imagine working with anyone else. He's professional, hardworking, and easy to talk to, and makes the buying/selling process that much easier! 2023
Russell was a great realtor for us. He was friendly, professional, responsive, and thorough during our homebuying process. We relocated from Chicago and initially knew no one in Knoxville. Russell is a wealth of local knowledge and provided several great recommendations for a home inspector and other trades people that we needed. Would definitely recommend him! 2023
Living 600 miles away from the house I was selling made it challenging. Russell handled everything including finding contractors and organizing repair timelines. I would hire him again in a minute!! 2023
Russ is all around a great guy and awesome realtor. He was patient with us as we looked at a house here and there for a few years and was also ready to act when the perfect one showed up. We are eager to be moved into our forever home and we couldn't have done it without Russ. A++++ 2023
Russ was easy to work with and accommodating. He recommended a good home inspector and provided great guidance. I recommend him to anyone buying or selling a house. 2023
Russell is truly an expert in his field! He makes the process SO easy!! Not only did he help me with the purchase of my first home, he just helped me sell that home and worked to get me the best deal possible! He keeps his clients as the focus and goes above and beyond to make sure you understand every step of the process! 2022
Paul and I were so grateful to Russell when looking for a home in Knoxville. He was extremely responsive and available! His knowledge of the area was great and he was so helpful in creating offers! Highly recommend. 2022
Russ's ongoing and follow-up communications have been outstanding since Day 1 of our contract with him. He made solid effort throughout our sale and continually worked to attract potential buyers to our property. We had a sale in place and fully closed on the sale in less than 60 days from our first meeting with him. We would immediately contract Russ again if we had a real estate need! 2022
In this crazy market, Rus was patient and encouraging throughout the entire process. Rus's expertise enabled me to purchase my first home and he was a pleasure to work with. I will use Rus for all my future real estate needs! 2022
Russell was awesome! He made selling our house a wonderful experience. He was always on top of everything and walked us through each step with ease. I highly recommend Russell; you will be happy with his service. 2022
Russell was such a pleasure to work with. He was unbelievably responsive day or night, and we always knew he was constantly working to secure the perfect home for us. The current market can be intimidating for buyers, and Russ guided us through every step. He was patient and understanding of our needs. He never once pressured us, and provided his honest opinion regularly. Russ-O Realty has the experience and skill to get the job done. We will use him in the future continuously for all our real estate needs. 2021
