Top notch service

Irene is the best operator in the Russell area. Transparent, clear, informative, and consistently proactive throughout the entire process. She maintained a great level of contact and support over a long sales period, always keeping us informed and engaged. Most importantly, we felt comfortable and confident with Irene, which genuinely stopped us from drifting toward other areas

Wonderful experience!

From the moment we met Irene, we knew she would find the perfect house for us. She was thoughtful, a great communicator and listener, and she knew the market extremely well. Irene also taught us a lot about the history and area of Russell. Irene is a wonderful realtor who made purchasing our forever home possible. We strongly recommend her and her skills! Thank you, Irene!!!!

Blown away!

In the past 40 years we have bought and sold dozens and dozens of properties and worked with even more agents. On average we have been disappointed with the general engagement, commitment, honesty and effort of the agents we have worked, there have been a few exceptions to this but only a few. However Irene was a breath of fresh air, she and her PA Malin worked hard for us, kept us informed, gave good advice, were easy to work with and subsequently the property was sold within a short period of time at a price that worked. I will openly admit I am hard to please however Irene completely changed this and in a very short period of time. Irene is as good as it gets and I would recommend her to anyone without any hesitation. She was recommended to us by a friend, also a tough critic of the realestate industry which tells you something about Irene, this was not a one off she is the real deal in this industry. Our experience will be discussed with many over the coming months and years. Thank you Irene and Malin, Kath and I are very pleased with the service you gave us and be assured we will share that will everyone in our networks. Mike
