We found Drew to be personable, knowledgeable, helpful, respectful, courteous, and very professional. In less than 3 weeks he was able to secure an offer and negotiate a price acceptable to both parties. My wife and I felt that Drew’s actions, communications, and personal interactions were beyond reproach. It is without reservation that we would recommend Drew Russell as a Realtor of distinction and one that would be an asset to a buyer or a seller.
To sell two properties and find and successfully purchase your dream home in this market is not the easiest thing anyone has ever done; however, it occurred with relative ease for us with the amazing guidance and support of Drew Russell. Drew handled everything in all aspects of selling our homes with professionalism and integrity and just when we thought that our dream home was not out there and that we might have made a mistake selling he found the perfect home which was not even on the market. Through Drew's tenacity, determination and professionalism today we have our forever home that we love. We would recommend Drew Russell without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
After a year of working with two other agents and trying the low-commission route, we decided to go with Drew and Michael Saunders to better market our Siesta Key Home in the luxury market. It was a wise decision due to the resources available from both Drew and a leading real estate firm, including acess to staging and marketing resources. Drew was professional, attentive and committed every step of the way. I would recommend him to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, top performing broker.
