"Russ helped me sell my home in the Northgate area of Walnut Creek. He is very experienced, hard-working and extremely responsive. He made the process easy. Russ kept me informed every step of the way and is very knowledgeable about the market. I would highly recommend Russ!" - Lauren

"Russ was a great find! He helped in both selling our house in Walnut Creek (over $1.2M) and did some spectacular searching to purchase a town home, also in Walnut Creek ($790K). Russ was a complete professional in all phases of both processes and handled any issue promptly and efficiently. If we needed help from a tradesman to help getting our house ready for sale, or before we moved into the new place, Russ knew the right person to call. And they often moved us up in the schedule and made us a priority. Russ makes you feel like you are at the top of his list of priorities, and you are!" - Client

"I was a trust executor with a house for sale. I scoured the “Best Realtors in Walnut Creek” online articles to see which agents had been active in the last year, particularly in the local area and on the seller side. I discovered Russ and interviewed him along with several other agents. A broker, Russ also has a background in construction, experience that would prove invaluable as I readied a 50+ year old residential home for sale. Once I selected Russ, in the in-between time of year -end holidays, he swung into action and helped me line up the inspections I wanted as roadmap for getting the house in condition to sell quickly once listed. He helped me decide which projects to tackle, suggested resources to hire and helped me shop for carpeting, lighting and hardware. It took about four weeks to see the house transformed by paint, acoustic ceiling removal, carpeting and myriad maintenance, plumbing, electrical, and structural efforts to get to market. Russ hosted two open houses and an agents tour. Voila. We received multiple solid offers. Russ also expertly helped me through the closing process, which came off without a hitch. I know with certainty that Russ was managing at least one other listing during the time that he was assisting me, however, never once did I notice any distractions from my project or slippage in timeframes. Kudos to this professional!!" - Client

"Russ recently helped us sell our house in the Northgate area in Walnut Creek. We were initially a bit concerned about selling a house in the middle of a pandemic, but Russ managed the process smoothly, safely and highly professionally. Russ gave us great recommendations on getting the house ready for market (including connecting us to roofers, landscapers and handymen that did a great job and we’re all reasonably priced). Russ provided great insight to allow us to optimize our pricing and did a nice job marketing the house online. Given COVID, he even handled the showing and offer acceptance process while we were socially distancing out of town. Highly recommended!!" - Amit

"While the search for a Bay Area home during the height of COVID could have been harrowing, our experience with Russ Burch could not have been better. Russ worked tirelessly with my wife and I as we traversed many East Bay neighborhoods in search of a home. He had often previously sold nearby or could call upon prior experience to provide a thorough understanding of the home, neighborhood, and school system - invaluable input for our family and search. He kept our family’s priorities in mind, and provided insightful and thoughtful opinions throughout. We really weighed upon him greatly, and I cannot thank him enough. - Very Thankful in San Ramon" - Andrew

"Thanks to Russ, we managed a ton of details renovating our 65-year old house. It turned out beautifully. We received multiple offers over asking price and closed in under a month. Russ has tremendous knowledge of the market and what influences buyers. He provided essential advice and coordination in every aspect of renovating and selling. Contractor selection, staging, pricing, advertising, on into negotiating and closing the deal. When buying this house 12 years ago, Russ had listened carefully to what I was seeking and homed in on a few carefully chosen places to look at. He did not waste time showing me dozens of houses. Russ made it easy! Of course I recommend Russ to anyone interested in buying or selling " - Ralph

"Russ is AMAZING! A total professional dedicated to giving you that rarest of commodities - great personal service. We were in time crunch after my stepmom passed away & had to get their home sold quickly so that my dad could re-locate to Florida. He helped us clear the house of 24 yrs of "stuff" provided excellent referrals, loaned us garage sale signs & hosted an Open House just a few days before Xmas! Thanks to Russ, the house sold and closed escrow in less than 6 weeks for top dollar... We couldn't be more pleased and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in the Bay Area. A SUPERB AGENT - WHO'LL REALLY GO THE EXTRA MILE FOR YOU !!!" - Decdenlady

"Russ was my life saver! I met him at an open house and told him I was just looking because I lived in the neighborhood. Even though I told him I was not pre-approved and didn't have the money to buy the house he took the time to show me the entire house with all the details and updates the previous owner did to this home. I liked him that day! He referred me to a loan officer to get the pre-approval done and that lady was amazing too. When I was finally ready to start looking I called him to get started and I have to say that Russ is the best! He has a lot of patience (it took me almost one year to find the right house). Russ is very honest and reliable and he could have sold me the first house we looked at as I was very excited and would have bought the first one... He knew better than me. Many times he showed me negative things about the house and explained to me why that was not going to work for me. All I have to say is Thank you Russ! I would 100% recommend Russ to anyone." - Andreia
