Education
★★★★★
""I feel incredibly fortunate to have been connected with Russ during our search for a new home, particularly as first time buyers. Having grown up and worked in the area we were interested in, his local knowledge and experience was literally second to none. He is unbelievably generous with his time and advice; he moved heaven and earth in order to find us the right home. He is absolutely first class, I couldn’t recommend working with him more highly and, to top it all, he is one of the nicest people you could ever meet. Thank you for everything Russ!"
★★★★★
"I'm blown away at how perfectly seamless our experience working with Russ Pruner was. He covered everything in terms of the sale with great expertise and knowledge. I HIGHLY recommend Russ Pruner with the sale of your home."
★★★★★
"Russell came highly recommended to me, he not only exceeded all my expectations but he went above and beyond to make sure I was getting everything on my wish list and made the whole buying process seamless! Russell was always available as well as quick to respond to any and all communication. Where others would drop the ball Russell stepped up and made it happen even though it was not a part of his role in the purchase process. All his referrals from the legal firm to companies needed for all aspects of the home inspection process were top notch and extremely friendly as well as accommodating as they said they would do anything for Russell! My lender said they have never seen such a quick and seamless loan/closing process as mine. I have dealt with many realtors throughout the years from California, Florida and NY and I have to say Russell has been by far the best!!! You would be very lucky to have him assist you in buying or selling your home."
★★★★★
"Russ was the absolute perfect agent for us to work with. As first-time home buyers we did a ton of research, talked with family members, and tried to understand everything we could going into the process, but from day 1 all the way through closing Russ made everything so much easier and better than I could have imagined. He knows the Greenwich/Riverside market down pat, not just in terms of houses, but in terms of everything - restaurants, lawyers, inspectors - you name it. Having Russ as our guiding hand who was clearly interested in finding us "our" house, not just "a" house was instrumental in making this a pleasant process instead of a difficult one. In most reviews like this I would generally say something like "if you want someone to help support you through the process, who knows the market and will find you your home choose Russ" (which is true), but in Russ's case I will go 1 step farther and say this is the person you should pick to work with. Period. Thank you so much for everything Russ - we couldn't be happier."
★★★★★
"We have known Russell Pruner for over 35 years. We have dealt with him on the sale and purchase of a number of properties in Greenwich over the years. Russell has always been extremely thorough during the entire real estate process. His successful reputation and soft demeanor are why we recommended him to our daughter and son-in-law when they purchased their first home in Cos Cob. During his long career, he has built a wealth of knowledge about Greenwich and the surrounding area by living here, attending church and schools here, playing sports and most importantly, working here. He has given back over the years by volunteering his time in our wonderful community. That is why we highly recommend Russell's services and his expertise."
★★★★★
"Russ stayed engaged with us, our property and prospective buyers as much as if not better than any realtor I've ever worked with. I was particularly impressed with the virtual staging his team did on the interior of our home, which I'm certain attracted a lot of interest. We were thrilled that we were able to secure a buyer for close to our original asking price in these uncertain and challenging times facing COVID-19 and an uncertain economic environment."
