Christine and Russell Long - Testimonials

Knowledgable, skilled, and patient with finicky clients. She is smart, personable, and a pleasure to do business with. Real estate transactions are always stressful but Julie makes it seem easy.

Just wanted to mention, my boys and I were discussing what it was like to do contracts back in the day when there wasn’t email and smart phones. Agents must have had much more patience and more time on the telephone at all hours of the night, plus time in the office facilitating contracts. You and your wife have been in this business a long time and we appreciate all the character building and hard work, you both accumulated to become the professionals that you are today. It’s also exciting to think what mergers and deals will look like in the future! Have a wonderful blessed Sunday! Ruthie and Michael

The quality of their service is impeccable and are experts especially in our Tucson market. #1 realtors! "Rose

In several experiences I’ve had with Russell Long is that he is highly ethical and trustworthy. He gets the job done and you can count on him to represent you. I highly recommend him.

He helped me with all of the paper because I have never sold a house by myself before. He was extremely helpful.

After a couple of months, Russell suggested we change the list selling price with a range of $895000 to $950000. This immediately changed the landscape and we had an offer within two weeks. This approach is what made the sale!

We have been here for 50+ yrs and have had the Longs aid, abette and assist(lead) Us thru at least 4 different home changes! They have been a Treasure for Us in All aspects of these Transitions, Thank U Russell and Christine!

I feel so fortunate to have you as our real estate agent. You really took care of us during this whole process. We appreciate you. Tanya

His vast experience in this market guided us between neighborhoods and amongst builders. He was present throughout the process and brought the right additional experts to the process as we needed them. A true pro!

They took time to understand our wants and needs and then beat the bushes to find properties for us. They didn't waste our time! We had a deal within only a handful of weeks after a 6 month fruitless search with another agent. They have an incredible network to draw from. Once the contract was accepted they handled every request quickly and efficiently. This is not our first real estate transaction - we've been around - but Julie and Russell have moved the bar for us. Exceptional in every way!

We are so thankful you made something normally very difficult seem so easy. Our gratitude is beyond words. Working with you was a joyous experience at every single moment. Your ability to stay completely in communication with both Barbara and myself, as if we were the only people you were working with while juggling massive amounts of documents to sign on almost a daily basis was true mastery. Rare is the being of uncommon integrity who can operate at such a high level of performance accomplishing in a day what others take a few weeks while seeming to be as ordinary and humble as apple pie. All our love to you and Christine! Barbara and Greg

His service was nothing short of excellent.

He is wonderful to work with--supremely knowledgable and wise and lots of fun to boot. This is our second house with him and he just gets better and better!

Our agent, Russell Long, guided us expertly through each part of the process, helping us navigate the difficulties of a cross-country move, and putting us at ease with superb communications. We knew what to expect, and how to handle it, every step of the way. Russell and his extended team worked together to give us a virtually seamless experience, and it was a pleasure dealing with them.

Russell did an excellent job of helping us list our house for sale, including: touring the property to evaluate property condition and suggest a pricing range based on condition and comparative properties; completing all the sales documents; having the house photographed by an expert (artist) photographer; having the house measured; and Christie prepared extensive advertising and sales brochures. The home was listed on MLS on December 4, 2023; and immediately we were inundated by multiple showings. Russell always personally arrived 15 minutes early for each showing (his assistant Dana showed the property several times also) and was well-prepared. By New Year's Eve we had had ~20 showings and in fact we received an acceptable offer on New Year's Eve. We believe that Russell is the most honest, hard-working, and well-prepared realtor in Tucson. His attention to detail, real estate law, and business ethics is commendable. The follow-through in closing escrow was complete and notable. Russell participated in closing at the Security Title Company and will always be our realtor and friend. The Russell and Christie Long Team will be whom we recommend to anyone looking for a reputable realtor in Tucson. The Russell and Christie Long Team are unparalleled in their service to the Long Realty Company.

His expertise, precision, and honesty make the process seamless and stress-free. Russell’s warm and easy communication style keeps us informed and confident throughout the entire process. Beyond the transaction, he offers valuable post-sales advice that has ensured a smooth transition into our new home. We wholeheartedly recommend Russell to anyone seeking a top-notch real estate agent in Tucson.

His knowledge contacts and experience are unrivaled. In Russell we trust. My wife and I are very appreciative.

He assisted in ways outside the scope of normal realtor duties and responsibilities. We’d highly recommend Long Realty to any potential buyers or sellers.

Excellent and very prompt communication by phone, text and email. We knew why to expect every step of the process. As out of town and out of state clients we were able to negotiate a dream bungalow in central Tucson and are settling into a wonderful life

We truly appreciated their consultative approach based on a strong understanding of the Tucson market.

My transaction had some complications, including encroachment and other issues, and required more than a usual amount of effort and strategy. I could not have had better people in my corner.

No request was too minor and all requests were met with Immediate and positive resolution. Best real estate transaction ever! I have already recommended your team to a friend.

They were ultra responsive and extremely helpful throughout the process. We are so happy that they found us the perfect home in Tucson. Thanks Russell and Dana!

Russell's expertise and dedication were instrumental in both the successful sale of our existing home and the exciting purchase of our new one. Selling a house can be stressful, but Russell's guidance throughout the process made it smooth and efficient.

We truly felt like we had a trusted advisor by our side every step of the way. Thank you, Russell, for making this a successful and positive experience. We highly recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Tucson!

Excellent recommendations. Broad-based advertising ... we had several friends mention they saw our home in the paper or various magazines. And their photo guy was fantastic, we didn't realize how photogenic our domicile was ;-)

Great realtor.

They were spot on in terms of pricing and knowing the market. They helped us prep the cabin for sale both for minor repairs and the the staging. The photographs and video graphics were impressive. The cabin showed well on the web, including Zillow. It was just 2 months and 2 days from listing to closing! Yahoo! Thank you so much! Julie and her team are high recommended!

He’s a thoughtful, gracious, and kind person. On top of that, he is the pinnacle of realtors in Tucson. Professional, experienced, and wise all describe his realty skill.

He is exceptionally professional, easy to work with, and dedicated to his business. He was able to evaluate, strategize, and bring a buyer to our home in 8 days. We were very pleased with the sale amount and speedy closing time of 30 days. He is famously known for his very capable communication skills and proved it to us in this transaction. He eased us with his knowledge of house sale protocol and also eased our nerves. Thank you Russell, we would gladly recommend you to anyone trying to sell a home!

He is professional, intelligent, knowledgeable, thoughtful, on top of every detail and an excellent communicator. And he is a lovely man. Everyone respects him. We are fortunate to work with him." Johnna

The brochures were awesum.

Everything went smoothly. Since there were no problems, he did not get a chance to demonstrate his abilities.

They were very professional in all aspects of handling the marketing and sale of our house. If you're looking for "Tried and True Professionals" call Russell Long.
