    James recently sold a property I had listed for over two years unsuccessfully with some other realtors, and he sold it in about 10 days. He is really a friendly and nice person, who actually works hard for his clients. I am getting ready to list another property with him.

    James Russ was my listing realtor. He was most honest, responsible and reliable. He sold my home to a terrific buyer, worked well with their realtor, brought all of us together to make for a smooth transaction. I not only would recommend him as my first choice of realtor in Ruidoso, I have hired him to sell another property for me. Many thanks, James!

    He did an excellent job by even cutting his commission to make the deal work. However, I feel if he had gotten written offers rather than verbal offers we would have had less communication problems. It may have been the other agent's problem but it would have saved some headaches. Otherwise, he did a good job and I was very happy to get the property sold!
