We had worked with Russ before when we bought a home in 2014. When we were ready to sell our second home, we only called Russ. He took care of everything, and we had four offers within two days, three for asking price, and one for above asking price which was the eventual buyer. Russ makes everything convenient and simple with his online forms that you can electronically sign from the comfort of your home. Our calls were answered immediately or returned quickly. We only met with him twice--the initial listing and the closing. Couldn't be faster or easier.

This was a great experience, because I had a great realtor to work with! He was so knowledgeable and truly made this process easy for me which was great because buying a home can and usually is so stressful. I was really glad I had made the call to work with him!

promised to call me 3 different times, failed to call any of those times- in fact has NEVER followed up in spite of repeated promises- sooooo- credibility is poor = service is terrible and I now won't trust him to be a buyers agent since I would have to trust that he would represent me rather than the seller

Response from Russ Ravary Real Estate One
I have talked to the prospective buyer three times already. He is trying to buy a piece of property below list price. He thought the seller was crazy. In the hottest real estate market since 2007 that told me he did not know what was happening in our local market. Vacant land in the area varies widely and you have to walk the property, and the sold properties too to see how they compare. It is no where like buying a house when you are buying a 20+ acre piece of property. You have to take into consideration % of wetlands, division possibilities, and site, building restrictions. I spent over 3 hours driving to the property, walking it, and researching it. When I had a death in the family that took me out of work for three days so yes my work got placed on second. I 'm sorry I couldn't jump for the buyer but family comes first. I just do not make snap judgments on advising clients prices. He never took the time to meet with me, never paid me for my time as shown above, and we never got past the initial three calls that lasted less than 5 minutes. He reminds of another client that was upset with me because I was in the hospital and couldn't make a closing. Even though my boss was there, the client was upset. Life is too short to deal with a buyer that is unrealistic in the beginning takes no steps to meet with me and then disparages me.

We highly recommend Russ to help you in your home buying and selling process. He is very professional, knowledgeable, helpful and easy to work with. He initially came by the house we were selling and took a tour and let us know what he thought would help in the sale our home. We listened to his advice and received three full price offers the same day it went on the market. Needless to say we were elated. He also worked hard to help us find our dream home and made the overall process very easy for us. Anytime we had questions, he was very quick to get back with us and even went out of his way to make sure things went as smooth as possible. My husband and I cannot say enough great things about Russ. If you take his advice, you will not be sorry. We will definitely be recommending him to anyone we know who is looking to buy or sell their home.

Here are the straight-up personal experience facts when having Russ as your Realtor: When my wife and I were looking to move into our second home, we put together a comprehensive list of wants, needs, preferred locations (of course), and most of all, price point. We wanted a realtor that a) Listened to us; b) Keep us informed and updated with the latest listings; c) Worked with our schedule; d) Kept in contact without being pushy. Although, you cannot always find the absolute perfect home and/or neighborhood you want to be in, with a bit of patience Russ helped us to find a home close enough to suit our needs. That being said, Russ is very practical per the following: 1) When you tell him exactly what you are looking for, he does a great job in narrowing the search to the specifics in which you identified. Case and point, the minimum we wanted was a 2000 square foot home with a large garage, at least a half acre wooded lot that was not on a corner or on a major road. So for the most part, Russ pre-screened listings per those requirements so that we didn?t kid ourselves wasting time to see homes that didn?t fit the bill. 2) When we gave Russ our maximum price, he did not go overboard and send us listings that we could not afford. In fact, any listings he provided that exceeded our maximum were almost all likely to be counter offered for less than our maximum. 3) Russ is definitely not pushy. 4) Once he shows you a few homes, he helps to hone your wants and needs in his search. 5) He (in my honest opinion) wants you to be happy with your purchase, as he ensures it meets your requirements before you sign the agreement. 6) He is pretty darn good about keeping in contact. All in all, Russ puts in a lot of time and effort to help you find the right home and is very knowledgeable and personable. He might not be able to coin the ?House-sold" Name, but yea, you will ?Rave? about him.
Description of Work: Russ helped greatly to get us into a great house for a great price.

We had been looking for a certain type of property for nearly 2 years. Russ was extremely helpful in narrowing our search. He was always available to answer questions and worked with my wife and I on the final price for our new home. He provided us with a comprehensive list of home and septic inspectors. If the need arises I would definitely us Russ again and recommend him to colleagues and friends.

Russ was amazing with his follow up and constant contact. He listed our former home and found us our new home. We put in a contingent offer on the new home and we got several offers and accepted our selling offer in 7 days. Our old neighbor had his home listed with another Realtor and it was on the market for over 100 days. We referred Russ to him and he sold it shortly after he sold ours. He has kept in contact with us even 6 months since the sale. I have since referred 2 other clients to him for sales. Thanks Russ! Keep up the great work and we LOVE our new home!

Russ was an amazing Realtor to work with, I had a tight timeline and many demands in a house that I was looking for and Russ was able to meet and exceed my expectations in an extremely fast timeline. Once Russ found the home I was looking for, he took over and worked directly with the seller and my mortgage team to make sure everything was achieved successfully and ahead of schedule. I was able to close earlier than expected thanks to Russ?s ability to drive the process along. He has a very pleasant personality and not the typical pushy realtors that I have used in the past. He will be open and honest about a house you look at and has vast knowledge of the market for price points. I want to thank Russ for partnering in the home buying process with me as he truly was a partner and asset to me rather than just a realtor. Looking forward to working with him on my next home purchase! I highly recommend Russ to anyone out there looking to sell or purchase a home. Class act!!

We were considering selling our lake cottage last year and had contacted a few realtors. After my husband passed away this past March, I found the information he had saved with some notes to contact Russ Ravary. I called Russ to sell the cottage. From the day we met at the cottage to list it until the day we met again at the closing to finalize the sale was less than two weeks!!! Russ knows the real estate business well. There was no stress on me and everything went smoothly. He returns calls promptly and is very easy to work with. When I decided to look for a condo, Russ is the one I chose to work with. I have very recently closed on the condo he showed me and have just listed my current house for sale with him. Russ really listens to you, offers suggestions based on his experience, and seems to really care about doing a great job for you.

Russ rocks! From our first conversation I had good feelings about working with Russ. He was quick to tell me everything that I needed to know about selling my house, and he understood that I was looking for somebody to take care of everything possible since I had a very busy schedule. In the end I got more than asking price and I only had to move out and sign paperwork! I highly recommend Russ, he will get the job done.

We were connected with Russ through a program with our mortgage company. We really lucked out being first time home buyers. Russ was very knowledgeable and patient with my wife and I. We had a LOT of questions and he was happy to answer all of them very quickly either over the phone or in a prompt email. We are very grateful for all the help Russ gave us in finding our first home and we couldn't be happier. We have recommended Russ to 3 different family members and friends. They have all had similar experiences and I know they will use Russ again in the future. -Chris & Sara

We were recommended Russ' services after having a previously failed relationship with a different agent. I was skeptical because Russ sells much higher end homes than the range I was looking for. Boy was I wrong!! Russ was insanely attentive, picked up on what we wanted/required in homes and steered us in the right direction. Never once did he try to make up our minds for us, insanely honest and always available to help calm my jitters. He was an amazing guide on the journey of buying our first home. I would recommend his services to anyone and everyone!

Found the perfect home in Highland but needed to sell our house in Livonia to get it.. Russ came through with both the purchasing of my new house and the selling of my Livonia house!!! His knowledge of both areas was a tremendous advantage in our transactions!! Russ isn't a part timer and it shows in the total effort he put into the process!!! It was nice to have someone go the extra mile!!!

We sold our home in Macomb County and wanted to live on a lake in Oakland County. After doing some online research, we knew Russ was the one we wanted to work with to find a lakefront home. We always received email updating the homes that met our search criteria. Whenever we wanted to see a home Russ was extremely prompt in getting us an immediate showing. After a long search we were able to put in an offer on the perfect home for us, that being said, it seemed to be the perfect home for many people. It came down to #highest and best... With Russ's knowledge of lakefront property he was able to guide us in making a smart informed decision. Russ really went to bat for us when submitting our offer, and we believe he was very influential in the seller accepting our offer. We have since closed on the property and was very impressed with how smoothly the closing process went. It was a pleasure working with Russ his honesty and integrity is refreshing, we would highly recommend him whether buying or selling!

We were looking for a house with a big sunny lot so we could build our mini farm. He helped us find a big old farm house with floor to ceiling windows, 3 porches and a big sunny lot. It was want we wanted but didn't think we could find. Now it is ours and we are starting our gardens. We have Russ to thank for this. If you need a dedicated relator then Russ is your man.
Description of Work: My husband and I were first time home buyers and Russ did a great job. We had so many questions and he was wonderful about guiding us through the process. Day or night he was there for us. I believe the process went as smoothly as it did because he was our guide.
