TESTIMONIALS
When we decided to sell our Crescent Bar bungalow, we researched the listings in our area and were immediately impressed with the online marketing videos posted by Eric Russell. We emailed Eric and received an immediate response. He met with us within a few days and thoroughly explained his strategy for successfully listing, marketing and selling our home. We were kept up to date throughout the entire process and received a dream offer, of over asking price, within 1 day of listing. We can thank Eric for helping us sell our bungalow and would highly recommend him to anyone interested in partnering with a very ethical & knowledgeable realtor.

Crescent Bar
I recently asked Eric Russell to use his extensive connections in Crescent Bar to notify me of any condos for sale in a popular complex there, as I was interested in purchasing one. Within a few weeks I received a call from Eric with a lead on an "off-market" unit for sale by owner and we were under contract to purchase the unit within a few days. This was on a unit that I would never have known about otherwise. Eric was very professional throughout the process and his communication was excellent with me, the seller, and escrow company, leading to a smooth and quick closing. Anyone in the real estate market of the greater Wenatchee area who needs assistance buying or selling should use Eric Russell for their transaction.

I had the opportunity to work with Eric, recently, when I had to list my mother's home for sale after her health seriously declined. He worked with me while I was going through the very difficult and emotional court process for her guardianship, and then probate when she passed only a couple weeks later. He was incredibly helpful to me and a wealth of knowledge. He negotiated a successful sale for us this March.
I would not hesitate to recommend Eric to my friends and family.-Vicki 2023
Eric Russell was my realtor to sell my second home in Chiwawa River Pines, Lake Wenatchee. Given the correcting market the home was listed during the winter for close to nine months. During the nine months Eric did several open houses even during the bad winter weather. Since this was a vacation home, Eric often would check on the cabin, help other realtors/appraisers access the property, assist contractors with access to the home for repairs, turn water on/off when needed for inspection purposes, and even cleared a path in the snow from Larch Drive to the home making access possible for buyers, contractors, vendors and the appraiser.
Eric is a true professional who was always in communication throughout the selling process either by email, text, or phone calls. I was informed and was guided with professional local knowledge throughout the negation which was an involved due to an involved sale and challenging process. It was so helpful to be able to plan, especially since I was an out of the area seller and could rely on Eric's expertise to handle the various aspects of the sale with competence and a true commitment to me as a seller. Eric always came across as a professional with since patience and I never doubted his ability to get my sold despite the stabilizing market, rising interest rates, consumer confidence and the economic uncertainty. If planning on buying or selling a home, I would highly recommend Eric..Claudia 2023

“As first time home buyers, we had no clue the importance of having a prompt, knowledgeable, responsive, full time and professional real estate agent, especially in todays market.

I purchased a home in East Wenatchee, Washington with the assistance of Eric Russell of John L Scott Real Estate. I am not from the area and was only in town a few times to look at homes. Outside of those visits, Eric was my eyes, ears and boots on the ground for inspections, appraisal and so much more.

It is a great feeling that while you cannot be present, there is someone local that you can trust to the things the way you would want them done.

We had the privilege of working with Eric Russell at John L. Scott Real Estate of Leavenworth to simultaneously sell our family home and purchase a new one. As anyone who has ever gone through this process knows, it can be a mental and physical hurdle. Eric was with us through every step of the complicated process. All the pieces had to seamlessly fit together for our transition to flow smoothly. While the process is indeed complicated, Eric handled everything behind the scenes like a pro. He tirelessly answered all of our questions and many texts. Honestly, Eric was more than a real estate agent, he became part of the family.
We were able to sell our home and move into a beautiful new home with less stress because Eric was there to guide us. Our granddaughter said, "I am so very thankful that Eric was there to be a champion for my grandparents. I know that this process is complicated and exhausting. He did every single thing possible to make this simple and easy for my grandparents. For that, I will forever be thankful."
Eric's personal approach and compassion make him standout as a distinguished professional in his field. We recommend Eric Russell to everyone we know. We know that it won't always be easy to sell your home be we think you would be hard pressed to find a better realtor.

I have worked with Eric Russell on two real estate transactions. From a buyers perspective, Eric is arguably one of the best buyer's agents in the industry. His knowledge of the market and understanding of the business is evident. We were give a 97 page Seller's Disclosure that was very confusing. Eric took the time to read the entire document and understood the content within it. His input was very valuable. As I mentioned Eric has been my real estate agent for two transactions. I would not hesitate to use his services again going forward.

Eric Russell recently helped us sell our income property in Wenatchee, WA. He not only helped by guiding us through the negotiation and contractual processes (which are extremely complex), but he also advised us with updates regarding projects in preparation to list the property. Keeping the original character of this lovely 1920's investment was important to us. Eric honored this but also gave insight to make sure we gave the home that updated look that buyers are looking for in todays real estate market. Eric is a true professional who has negotiated several transactions for our family. We highly recommend Eric Russell and John L. Scott Real Estate to anyone considering listing or buying property.
