Thanks, Rusty, for doing such a good

Russell & Christine,
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your help in
selling our home. We cannot thank you enough for your
professional expertise and attention to detail. Each step of the
way we were impressed with the way you handled the listing. You
were always there with a phone call or a note. We knew what was
happening every step of the way. It is obvious from your ads
that you are detail-oriented, but the way you treat your
clients makes you stand out in the crowd. We would be very
happy to recommend you and your family to any of our friends who
need an expert in the field.

To
Whom It May Concern:
We tried to sell our home ourselves. After three weeks of advertising,
open houses and no nibbles, we turned our home over to Russell Long of
Long Realty. We talked with Russell on Friday evening; the house made
the multiple listing on Monday. A couple looked at our home that Monday,
came back that Monday afternoon, went to the bank on Tuesday, and made
an offer on Wednesday. We countered their offer on Wednesday, and they
accepted our offer on Thursday. Four days in the hands of Long Realty,
and our house was sold! We firmly believe the fast sale was due to the
personal attention Russell gave to our home and because Long Realty is
the biggest and finest real estate company in Tucson. The Long
reputation is what sells homes in Tucson. Thank you, Russell, for a job
well done.

Dear Russell and Christy,
In the past two weeks or so, I don't believe that there has been a day
gone by that we do not think of the two of you and how you worked so
hard to sell our home. Every week you had it advertised somewhere or had
it held open. We had all but given up hope until you came along and
agreed to list it. We are so very happy that you did. It is such a
strange feeling. We both still compelled to go over and check on the
house on a daily basis. The great thing about the house we bought is
that it does not have a big backyard or a pool for Tom to work on, and
he can play golf with me instead (if he learns how). So thank you from
the two of us. We can now work on other things like planning our
daughter's November wedding. I was starting to liken the situation to
the movie "Three Weddings and a Funeral," but was going to rewrite the
script and name it "Four Mortgages and a Wedding." Our referrals will go
to only the best two people in real estate!

To Our Friends Christy & Russell Long,
Thank you very much for all you have done to sell our house in
Tucson. You went above and beyond any of our expectations. Thank
you for all your hard work and kindness.
Many thanks,

To Whom It May Concern:
It is our great pleasure to recommend Russell and Christine Long
as qualified realtors to sell any type of real estate,
especially quality properties. We had a large home on 8 acres.
Our home had been on the market for many years and was a
difficult property to sell because it was in the flood plain and
because it was a larger property than most families desire. We
had the property on the market listed with a consultant to
assist us in locating another realtor that would really take an
interest in selling our property. He recommended Russell and
Christine. Consequently, from the very beginning, Russell and
Christine took the utmost care and time to market the property
in every way possible. They were always most gracious and
professional. There was never a time that when a call was made
to them from us for anything that they didn't respond within
minutes. Their availability to us was absolutely without compare
to anything we had experienced in the past. Needless to say,
Russell and Christine sold our property within 6 weeks of our
listing it with them and sold it at a price that we were very
pleased with! We have had a great deal of experience with
realtors in buying and selling properties. Russell and Christine
are indeed the finest, most professional people that we have had
an opportunity to work with.

Dear Russell and Christy,
You two are something else! Back in the '70s we owned a real estate
company in Estes Park, Colorado, and later I was a broker in California.
Never have we known or dealt with anyone in real estate who scored a
full "10" in knowledge of the market, enthusiasm or understanding the
clients' desires. That facilitated the process of selection. Your skills
in negotiating are beyond compare. All we can say is that we are very
pleased and thank you both for your kindness. We look forward to
becoming close friends in Tucson and in Mexico. Dios Bendicta a ustedes.
Jim and Nancy

Dear Mr. Dwyer,
Now that the "cloud of confusion" from our hasty relocation with
Raytheon from Tucson, AZ to Washington, D. C. has passed, I wanted to
send a sincere letter of thanks for two of your truly outstanding
employees-Russell Long and his partner, Christine. In the many years of
the professional world that I have worked in, these two rank at the top
of the excellence curve! As they say, selling your home can be one of
the most traumatic life events, and it certainly could have been with
the Sharman family this past summer-except for Russell and Christine. As
our real estate agent, Russell Long, with support from his wife
Christine, helped to make this move as painless and efficient as
possible. I was so impressed with his knowledge, guidance, innovation,
superior excellence and personal attention and support that Russell
provided us, that I wanted to make absolutely sure you and the Long
Realty Company organization were aware of this invaluable employee.
Russell was responsive, extremely knowledgeable, comforting and
thorough. He was an absolute pleasure to work with. He made us feel so
very comfortable working with him that there wasn't the least hesitation
in calling him with the questions and issues I had regarding our entire
sale. He made the financial and paperwork side of our sale clear cut
with no lingering questions or doubts. He was always reachable. His
marketing approach and presentations of our property were
"state-of-the-art," and I'm sure they contributed to a very successful
and satisfying sale of our property. Based on our past experiences with
the real estate business over the past 25 years, Russell and Christine
rank absolutely #1 in our book. We have continually recommended them to
our friends and associates who are considering real estate transactions
in Tucson. So John, the Long Realty
Company has achieved a satisfied customer due to the incredible efforts
of Russell and Christine. They did us a great service!

Dear Russell:
Thank you for being such an inspiration and role model for all
of us. I just wanted to let you know that I think your
achievement as a person deserves the admiration of all of us.
But, I also wanted to say that your achievement as a person
deserves note. I have watched you help others, as you have
helped me, by answering questions, sharing names of contractors
you use, and just generally being nice to people. So often, when
people consistently perform at the top of their profession, they
tend to get arrogant and out of touch with others in the
profession. You, however, have chosen to keep the human touch.
Congratulations also to Christy, Marge and Steven for their
contributions to your achievements over the years. Top
performers need a great team! It is an honor to be associated
with you.

Dear Russell,
Thank you so much for your first-class advice and service in selling
Mother's home. Your times of consultation with me showed me the depth of
your knowledge of both homes and business that you were able to put in
easy-to-understand terms for one who has not had much experience in real
estate! You always made it easy to follow through with whatever was
needed to move the progress of the sale ahead. I also appreciate your
explaining the reasoning for an answer you'd give to a question I would
ask. Your broad knowledge and very congenial way made it as pleasant as
possible to say goodbye to the family home, sold to us by Long Realty
Company 47 years ago! It has been a delight to get reacquainted with
your family. Thank you, thank you, for handling this sale so quickly and
easily. You've been so accessible and attentive to details and my
questions!
Sincerely,
Marilyn and Brian Pye |

Dear Christy and Russell,
Congratulations to you and Long Realty on the record set in 1998. It is
appropriate that they would have pictured one of your signs, due to the
fact that you are the best agents that Roy Long employs. We have told
you several times in person and over the phone how thankful we are for
the job that you did for us. We just wanted to send you this letter
again to thank you for the good job. We appreciate all of your hard
work.

Dear Russell and Christine,
Peter and I want to thank you for the very thorough and profession way
in which you handled the sale of our house!! We couldn't have found
better realtors to do so and a very special thank you to Christine who
offered a hug at a difficult moment. It made all the difference. Our
very best wishes to you both, and we look forward to calling you when we
eventually move back to Tucson. Thank you!

Dear Russell, Christy and Marge:
We knew it. It's a feeling that one has when something just "clicks."
From the initial phone call, everything was right on target. Eleven day
slate an offer was made, and the wheels were put in motion. Thank you,
thank you, thank you to the three of you: Russell, Christy and Marge.
Professionalism, care and attention to detail are your winning package.
It's been great working with all of you.
Regards,

Aloha Christine and Russell:
Please excuse our delay in writing this letter. We have been spending a
lot of time in Hawaii. Mark and I want to express our enthusiastic
gratitude to you both for the sale of our home in La Cebadillas.
Prior to our initial meeting, we were concerned that you would be too
busy. However, we were immediately impressed and knew we would list our
home with you! The marketing plan was creative, the home was priced
correctly with a realistic time frame for us to expect a sale and most
important, your advice was priceless. Your communications with us were
prompt, informative and instructive.
We intend to recommend you without hesitation. You are a true
professional and it is our pleasure to have known and worked with both
you and Christy. We hope our paths will cross once again in the future.
Mahalo,
Mary Lou and Mark |
