"Russ helped us find our first home and we are so grateful! As first time buyers, my husband and I were very nervous approaching the Chicago suburbs market. Russ guided us every step of the way, from introducing us to the various suburbs to driving us to countless showings, putting us in touch with our lender, and then negotiating our contract with a tricky seller. Having grown up here, Russ is clearly an expert on the Chicago market and we are so appreciative that we had him to help us navigate this process. Thank you so much, Russ!"
