"Sophia Russo was our agent for our home purchase in San Diego, CA. Being from out of town, we knew we needed an agent who was knowledgeable and thorough. I had a brief conversation early in our search with Sophia. We also spoke to a handful of other agents. I enjoyed my initial conversation with Sophia. The specific home I called about was no longer an interest to us. Sophia offered to continue to look for homes that met our criteria. I agreed. In the next couple of months, Sophia sent me homes that were of interest. She also followed up with homes that were exactly what we were looking for. We decided to make a spur-of-the-moment trip down to look at some homes. We had a short window to view as many homes that met our needs as possible. Sophia not only had the list of potential homes ready for us, but also had detailed information on all the homes we viewed, which helped us to narrow down the ideal house very quickly. Sophia laid out her negotiation strategy that made it quite attractive against competing offers on the table. Our offer was accepted, and we were able to close in less than a week. Of all our home purchases, this one was the smoothest. We attribute this to Sophia. We couldn't have completed this purchase without her. What impressed us the most was her thoroughness and organization. We felt comfortable with her representing us the whole time. The experience left us feeling confident about our purchase. Being out of town, Sophia has also helped us tremendously with some after-purchase follow-up needed with our new home. Sophia is young and ambitious, but has the knowledge and organizational skills of a veteran. She's also a pro negotiator and helped us purchase our home within our budget. She did everything you want an agent to do, and more. We would highly recommend Sophia to anyone looking to purchase a home. We trust her completely."

"Sophia has been a true pleasure to partner with! We bought our first home in La Jolla, San Diego, with Sophia Russo recently, and she helped us through every stage of the process - from the initial hunt, through the offer process, and well after the closing. She’s highly knowledgeable, available, and overall easy to work with."

"Sophia Russo is my lucky star. I met her at an open house purely by chance, and because she stayed in touch, I knew just who to call when I found myself responsible for a small condo sale in La Mesa (San Diego). Sophia knew exactly who to partner with for probate expertise, and together, I was given support and service comparable to a multi-mill..."

Sophia knew exactly who to partner with for probate expertise, and together, I was given support and service comparable to a multi-million dollar property. Always responds immediately and never tires of questions. Very knowledgeable and professional. I will look forward to working with her again."

"Sophia was a tremendous asset in helping us sell our home recently for 50K above the listing price. This was during a very unstable housing market. As our listing agent, she helped to walk us through the entire process from beginning to end, and her team was amazing. Sophia was very astute when it came to marketing our home on various platforms, including social media. We received multiple offers on our home and closed escrow within 15 days. Overall, we were very pleased with her work and would highly recommend her services to any potential buyers or sellers. Thank you, Sophia!"
