Dear Russ,

Allow us to express our immense satisfaction for your professionalism and sage advice in helping us sell our rental home. After our first open house, you helped us review the many offers we received, assisted us with filling out the forms, and closely followed all contingency periods to avoid delays. None of our requests went unanswered. We will highly recommend you to others.

Thanks again,
Ty & Carolyn Miller

Russ worked very hard to sell my house and it sold at a time when homes were not selling. He was great about getting workmen to come and do any work needed. He was very responsive to any questions I had and always got back to me in a timely manner. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting to sell their home.

Russ, I wanted to thank you for the professional and outstanding service you provided in selling our Wiscasset Drive home in West Hills. Your suggestions, marketing, quick response time and communication between all parties helped ensure a successful sale and close of escrow. When it comes to West Hills, your name is at the top of the list for professional real estate services.

I recently needed to sell my mother´s home and listed the house with Russ Church. The home is almost fifty years old and the market is not what I would have wanted as a seller, but we needed to move forward and I knew that it was crucial to have a realtor who was patient, knowledgeable, experienced, responsive, flexible, hard working and solution oriented. Russ did not let me down. We experienced several bumps on our way to the close of escrow, but his years in real estate provided endless resources to much needed answers and solutions. His commitment to providing the best outcome for his client is genuine and unrelenting. Russ always went the extra mile and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

My husband and I started looking for another home, we started out with another agent but we had no luck at all! A friend of our family showed us one of Russ Church´s newsletters and told us to call him. We were reluctant at first but we decided to give him a chance. That was one of the decisions we never regretted. Russ was awesome! Russ always accommodated our crazy our crazy schedules. Sometimes we worked until 10pm at night to finish up our written offers (he even had to miss his steaks and Laker games). After couple months of looking, Russ found us a wonderful house in Canoga Park. We got a written agreement even before the house was listed on the market. Russ took care of all the paperwork for us. We did not really have to do much about anything. He followed up and followed through with everything we needed to do to make sure escrow was closed on time. He kept us informed each step of the way! We really had a great time working with him! Russ, we thank you for your expertise services and your professional manners. We really enjoyed working with you and were going to really miss you! You truly are a cool guy!

We could not be satisfied with Russ! He´s honest, dedicated, hardworking and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Our home sold over asking price only two days after listing! Incredible!

Russ,

Just want to tell you how much I appreciate all the advice, information and recommendations you´ve given me the past few years. It´s all come together now, as escrow closes on my first investment property. Many thanks for listening to what I was looking for and finding just the right place for me to buy and for helping to make the close go smoothly and quickly. I´m looking forward to working with you again on the next one!

Thank you,

Tom Lannert

Dear Russ,

I just want to send a note of thanks to you. With your help we were able to sell our in a real estate market that has had many downturns and bad press. You remained a constant and positive reinforcement, providing suggestions to insure that our home looked its best. Whether through open houses, newspaper ads or the internet, people were able to view our home. You provided that extra effort and that´s what it takes in today´s market!

Thank you,

Lorraine Levine

Dear Russ,

Thank you for your time and sharing your knowledge of the West Hills area during our early researching days. Not only were you instrumental in finding our home, you were a pleasure to do business with. Colette and I will share our dreams in our new dream home and will have found memories to reflect upon. These fine memories will include you and your efforts, which helped us tremendously. The final days of our escrow tested both parties and yet without your involvement might not have been as successful. You certainly aided us over and beyond our expectations. Our dream home would not have been possible without you. We are very much appreciative.

Dear Russ,

Now that I am settled in my new home, I would like to say that it was a lucky day for me when I happened on to an open house that you were conducting. I fell in love with the house and eventually it was to be my new home. You helped me in every aspect to make this home a reality and I must say, with ease, not only helping the purchase of my new home, but when I decided I should sell my town home I listed it with you and everything went so smooth. I also appreciated the fact that I could reach you whenever I "thought I had a problem". It was very comforting for me to be able to ask you questions or just to find out what I should do in certain "instances" when I thought I had a problem. You were never a phone call away at all times. I would like to mention that I am in my new home and my town home has also been sold. Thank you so much for being a caring person Russ, and thank your "Angel" for her help too!

Most sincerely,

Tommie Katz

We hired Russ Church to list and sell our home in Canoga Park in an extremely slow market and Russ was able to pull it off and sell it for us. Russ made it easy for us to sell from the listing through the closing. I really appreciated his detailed updates of the surrounding market conditions and his follow ups with fast call backs. I would highly recommend him, and we will use his services again. Thanks again Russ for your professional services, it was a real pleasure working with you.

Russ,

Linda and I want to take a moment to express our heartfelt thanks for the journey you led us through in selling our home in Winnetka. During a very tough economic time, you took our hand and guided us along an often bumpy and emotional journey. We experienced some highs and some jolts and you and your team carried us through with kindness and professionalism. You made us feel like part of a family, who stuck together through the thick and thin. And in the end, we survived the gauntlet less bruised than we both expected. Your wife and daughter complete you far and beyond there place on an organization chart. The Russ Church Team is a real "WINNER" and we will recommend you to everyone we know when it comes time to sell a property! Thank you for ALL you do!!!!

Dear Russ,

I want to thank you for everything you did for my mother and I when it became time to sell her home of 50 years. The house needed a little fixing up before we could put it up for sale and with me living 500 miles away, I thought this would be a problem. But with your guidance and help, everything went perfectly smooth. If anything ever came up, you were always there to take care of it. You provided me with whatever I needed; from boxes to gardening tools, to tradesmen and phone numbers for anything else. You even took your coat and tie off and rolled up your sleeves and helped me clean out part of the garage! In my absence you watched over the house like it was your own, watering the lawn, checking on the pool and making sure regular maintenance was being done. Your knowledge and expertise in the real estate field was evident from our first meeting right through the close of escrow. Russ, without your help at what was a very stressful time, I would have been lost. I can´t thank you enough for your professionalism, honesty and hard work. To my mother and I, you´re much more than a realtor, your also a friend.

Sincerely,

David and Mary Gould

I want to thank you for all the work you did in getting my place. I had a bad experience with a previous realtor, but you laid all my concerns to rest. You took care of every detail and made sure everyone else was doing their part as well. You were there in every step of the way, when I had to change mortgage brokers in the middle of escrow, pushing escrow to do their part and at the end. Thank you for truly being a professional and honest person during this whole process. I will definitely recommend your name to anyone that is looking to purchase a home. Thanks you are the best! Lupe was right, you are great and made the process easy.

I Just want to commend Russ Church for Going far and beyond his duties as a real estate agent. He and his wife Angel even showed up at our wedding and at both my daughters’ Baptism. My children even refer to him as "Uncle Russ". We have bought and sold with him on 4 different occasions. He was also instrumental in assisting and helping my father through his real estate transactions before his passing. Each time, Russ has delivered the highest level of service and attention and has always remained consistent. Russ has truly helped us out through the difficulties of our sales. Even at the most stressful of times he has been calm and decisive. Without his knowledge and experience to look out for our best interest, we would definitely be lost. I cannot even imagine going through any real estate deals without him. If it were not for Russ, I honestly can say that we would not be in the place we are presently in and our house would probably still be on the market. On behalf of my wife Jeanette, we want to sincerely thank Russ and Angel Church for all their unselfish efforts, hard work and sincerity. They made the impossible, possible.

Sincerely,

Francis Astilla
