John Silva, Client, Ellensburg, WA
“I have been practicing real estate law in Santa Cruz County for over 38 years. Since 1978, over the course of our relationship, we worked together regarding contract and management issues, as well as real estate leasing and sales of investment properties, both commercial and residential. Georgann has consistently been effective in representing her principals. She has known when to seek legal advice and her questions were always related to how to handle a situation in the best interests of her principal. She was highly organized and always did her homework. Georgann was active, well known and highly respected in our community.”

Lloyd Williams, Real Estate Attorney, Santa Cruz
“I found Georgann to be energetic, highly motivating and always looking out for the interest of her clients. During our business relationship (1976-1994) I appreciated Ms. Russell’s accessibility, thorough follow-through as well as her firm knowledge of the law and it applied to real estate. I was by no means the only client who had been with her for more than 15 years. Ms. Russell is most experienced in the sale of income property and 1031 exchanges. When I decided to sell my building, she was able to get me the price I had in mind and she steered me through the escrow procedure. Ms. Russell and her company had a high reputation in the community. Anyone looking to her represented by an experience, hard working individual with the highest ethical principals should try to engage Ms. Russell’s services.”

Vilma Siebers, Client, Santa Cruz
“I have known and worked with Georgann Russell since 1978. Clients we worked for include buyers, sellers and those completing tax-deferred exchanges. In my 27 years of owning Hirsch and Associates, I have never worked with anyone more consistent, professional, determined and ethical. Georgann continues to advise clients and maintain her long long-term relationships.”

“I have found through the years that there are many difficult tasks involved in growing a high-tech business in Grass Valley. Since a candidate will be relocating to this area in addition to job related questions, he or she will have questions concerning the community, what schools are like, local commerce, and the biggest question invariably concerns the specifics of the local housing market. This letter is to address the help that Georgann Russell has provided Linear Technology’s Grass Valley Design Center towards solving this problem.

Georgann is a wonderful resource for candidates we bring in to interview. She arranges to meet our candidate upon their arrival and gives them a tour of the area including information on housing for sale and rent in their price range. Georgann will assist them in locating interim housing. During this period of transition, Georgann provides referrals for services and professionals which include medical/dental professionals, insurance agents, and automobile repair. Georgann provides quality assistance when she works with our new employees to find and purchase a home. In the past year, 100% of the people hired at our facility have used Georgann’s excellent service. I consider Georgann Russell an essential part of my recruiting effort for new candidates.”

Ralph Andersson, Client, Grass Valley
“Georgann’s local experience of 30 years through market shifts and fluctuating property values, as well as prior positions in management, have resulted in the desire of others to seek and value her opinions and rely on her unique wisdom.
She consistently encourages clients to be aware of all the facts, acknowledging possible areas of concern, so the best informed decisions will be made. This trait earned our trust in her judgment instantly. Georgann is a great communicator who is also detail-oriented. Combining her experience and professionalism creates a caliber that is rare and a privilege to have experienced first hand. We highly recommend Georgann’s services and full vouch for her reliability. She is capable, trustworthy, and esteemed by us personally.”
Michael & Jessie Bagwell, Client, Grass Valley
“Georgann’s knowledge and professionalism were evident from our first meeting and it was reassuring for us to work with someone who has such experience as we were relocating from the east coast to the west coast and were constantly surprised at the vast differences we found in the market. It took us six months to find a new home and throughout that long time Georgann never showed signs of frustration or tiredness at our procrastination and indecision as we wavered between renting or buying a house and as we constantly changed our criteria. Georgann went above and beyond the call of duty and it is therefore a pleasure to be able to offer this letter to anyone seeking her help with their relocation.”

Christine & Peter Andrews, Client, Grass Valley
“This is a letter of recommendation for Ms. Georgann Russell and I wish to address the following regarding her professionalism, real estate knowledge, dedication and honesty. Ms. Russell’s high professional standards enables clients to be confident in her ethics. Her vast knowledge in all aspects of real estate demonstrated her problem solving and negotiating skills. I gave Ms. Russell repeat business because of her dedication and success in handling both my residential and commercial properties.”

Dr. Albert Goldberg, Client, Santa Cruz
“I am writing as a reference for Georgann Russell, with whom I have worked for over 25 years. Georgann set herself apart in the business community by developing a solid reputation for stellar business practices. By hard work, a strong work ethic, and ongoing concern for her client’s best interest, Georgann built a company that was reputable and highly admired. From commercial to residential transactions, she showed a depth of knowledge that her peers and clients appreciated. Georgann continues to be respected throughout the local business community for her skill at negotiating, her knowledge of the market and the overall real estate industry, and her ongoing dedication to her clients.
