Testimonials
"My husband and I just closed on our first home, thanks to the expertise and guidance of Russ Bonanno Jr. Making himself available to us day, night, and weekends, Russ's flexible schedule allowed for showings to be arranged at a moments notice. While buying a home can be an intimidating process, Russ' professional, composed, and patient demeanor put us immediately at ease and made our experience as first time home buyers a seamless one. We never felt pressured and truly felt that Russ understood what we were looking for in a home, even when one of our biggest criteria was as vague as "just a feeling". We can't thank Russ enough for all of his assistance and look forward to working with him in the future." - Shannon, Buyer Client
"I highly recommend Russ as a real estate agent. He was professional, knowledgeable, trust worthy, and most importantly listened to what I wanted in a home. I’ve used other agents prior to Russ and I felt as though I was pushed or rushed into making a purchase that did not fit my needs in a home. Other times I was presented with options that were completely opposite to my requirements. However, Russ worked with me for over a year continuously showing me homes that were within my price range and in locations that I desired to be in. Russ made it a priority to work within my often times hectic schedule, even if they were not optimal for him as an agent and was always enthusiastic. I recall the day that Russ showed me a listing that would ultimately end up my home. I was adamant that I did not want to bother seeing the home due to the pictures that I had seen on the internet, yet Russ told me I HAVE to see it in person, assuring me it was everything I had been looking for. Boy was he right! The home had fit all of my requirements and then some. Russ worked with me throughout the whole process of purchasing the home, and made himself available whenever I felt unsure or confused in any step of the process. Russ worked extremely hard to protect my rights as a buyer and succeeded in a fair transaction with a difficult seller. Russ helped me make what may be the most important and difficult purchase of my lifetime an enjoyable experience. He eased my anxiety as a buyer, and steered me into making the best possible choice for me in home. I highly recommend Russ to anyone looking to purchase their dream home!" - Joe, Buyer Client
" I cannot say enough good things about Russ. He was incredibly professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and an absolute pleasure to work with. What sets him apart, however, is his willingness to go out of his way to help in ANY way possible. I had a rather difficult closing, and Russ was on top of it every step of the way and bent over backwards to assist. That is rare to find in an agent and was incredibly assuring. If you are in the market for a home, give Russ a call. He is excellent, and I want to stress EXCELLENT!" - Brian, Seller & Buyer Client
"Russ was a tremendous help in the buying and selling process. Inherently there will be stress when going through this part of life but having Russ made it infinitely easier. He helped me sell a place in garden city and buy a place in massapequa. He was super knowledgeable about the oyster Bay Area and took me too a lot of places that fit my taste, ultimately finding me a dream home which I thought I could never get. He stayed on top of the agent and sellers and made sure that my dream place would become my eventual reality. He rushed everyone along to get us into contract to make sure it stayed mine. He is the type of agent I would recommend bc the fact of the matter is, people have a tendency to drag their feet and in a competitive market like this it can cost u a house. He made sure everything was taken care of in a timely matter even after his part of the job was done. He answered all my questions at anyone of day or night no matter how dopey they were. Go with bonanno!!! That's my motto!!" - Gerard, Seller & Buyer Client
"We had an excellent experience with Russ Jr helping us find and successfully purchase our first home together. He was very professional, punctual and followed up on all of our inquiries as promised. We began negotiations on one home that we all agreed was priced well above the market and we decided to stay firm with our offer which went idle as the seller did not feel the need to budge. We were happy to continue our search and found a home that excited us even more! We were able to secure all of the details and lock in a deal, all made possible with the assistance of our great Broker, Russ Jr. Thank you again!" - Chris, Buyer Client
"We recently bought and sold through Russ, and the process could not have been easier! A native to the area, Russ was able to find us homes that were exactly what we were looking for as well as in our price range. He was available anytime we had a question or concern, or simply wanted to check on the status of our buying/selling. We recently closed on the house of our dreams and could not be happier! I recommend using Russ as your agent if you are looking for a hassle-free, helpful, and amazing home buying process. Thank you, Russ!" - Ryan, Buyer Client
