Don’t take
Our word for it
Always there, always knowledgeable, year after year…
I recommend Jessica and team to everyone looking to buy or sell their home! She helped me buy my home 6 years ago and of course I contacted her again when I was ready to sell and buy again recently. It was a no brainer. She is such a joy to work with; pleasant, extra communicative, professional, knowledgeable of the area, and has your best interest in mind. She is on top of everything, all the time and guided me through the whole process with ease. I really don't know how she does it!
The support and advocate you need…
Jessica was absolutely amazing. She was very knowledgeable and made herself available throughout the whole process. Jessica advocated for me numerous times and had my back. Jessica was keen and paid close attention to details. She is also well connected to resources which might come in handy. She knew exactly what she was doing and I couldn’t have been in better hands. She made the home buying process smooth during an uncertain economy. I highly recommend her.
Cross country buying with ease
We went with Jessica to find us a house in the Charlottesville area. At the time we were living in Texas and Jessica made buying a home across the country seem simple and easy . She was extremely helpful and extremely responsive to any and all of our many questions. We did a 180 on all of our requests in a house and without missing a beat, she found us our dream home. I couldn’t be more satisfied!
Finding the perfect home, no matter the distance.
Jessica helped us find and purchase our dream retirement home in Afton. We had very specific requirements—single-story living, quality construction, privacy, and most importantly, a great view. The search took time, but Jessica was incredibly patient and attentive to our needs. Since we lived three hours away, she took the initiative to handle many details, especially during closing. Having not purchased a home in 26 years—and only in North Carolina—we relied on Jessica’s expertise to navigate the differences in real estate procedures. She kept everything on track, ensuring we closed within our desired timeframe. I highly recommend her!
Buying, selling, and success—Jessica does it all!
We met Jessica while at an open house she was hosting. We were immediately impressed with her knowledge of the house and the preparation advice she had given the sellers. Not only did we buy the open house home but we were extremely happy with the process and results that we asked her to list our old home. She pulled all the stops - custom sign, professional marketing materials, photos, videos - the works! Sold in one day! Thanks Jessica and team!
Paciencia, apoyo y conocimiento en cada paso.
Conocí a Jessica en febrero del 2024 por recomendación de una amiga y ella fue de gran ayuda con la búsqueda de mi nuevo hogar siempre estaba dispuesta a ayudarnos y a explicarnos cualquier duda que tuvimos como nuevos compradores y también nos tuvo mucha paciencia y lo mejor que habla mi idioma Español así que la recomiendo ampliamente... Gracias Jessica
Navigating Home Buying with Confidence
Jessica Russo is a terrific realtor. She's very knowledgeable and experienced. On every property we visited, she pointed out things, both good and bad, which I would not have thought about. She's patient, even when I would flip flop about making an offer. She's always looking out for her client.
Moving to Crozet 🏡
“She’s really good people.” That’s what a builder rep told us about Jessica after we toured a model home at her suggestion. He was right. We met Jessica by happenstance at an open house she was hosting when we were first exploring the idea of exchanging our Northern Virginia lifestyle for one in friendlier, more peaceful Central Virginia. We didn’t know if or when we were ready to make the leap, but we talked with Jessica and she listened. She put us at ease, sent us to that model home to get our thoughts, and invited us back for a…
Moving to Charlottesville from Texas
Jessica was a great resource to help my and my family relocate to Charlottesville from Texas. We had limited time to house search and Jessica was efficient and helpful throughout the entire process. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Charlottesville area.
Johnson Village City home seller
Jessica's know-how cannot be understated. From setting a fair and marketable price to managing on-the-fly repairs to tactful negotiations she did it all well. Without her patient and knowledgeable leadership we would undoubtedly have made several costly and untimely mistakes. We are grateful.
Happy first time homebuyer 😀
Jessica was phenomenal to work with in the purchase of our home. This was our first home purchase and Jessica walked alongside us at every step ready to answer questions and aid in the process. She is quickly responsive to any question or need that may arise. Overall, she made the hassle of purchasing a home much easier. We would 100% choose her as our realtor again to buy or sell!
Downsizing to their ‘right size’ home with a first floor master bedroom
We couldn't be more pleased with how Jessica handled our sale and purchase of our homes. We closed on the sale of our home prior to our new home being completed and right as the pandemic hit. My husband and I were forced to live apart from March til July until our new home was ready. Because of the pandemic I couldn't travel back to Virginia as often as we planned. Jessica was our eyes and ears on the ground. Jessica made sure that I was aware of everything happening, every step of the way. I was getting pictures but…
Charlottesville seller moving to Ivy in 2020
The Russo Team has been wonderful to work with. Jessica made the home selling AND home buying experience feel straightforward and seamless. Jessica listed our house on a Friday morning and by the Saturday afternoon we had multiple offers, and were under contract. She advocated for us throughout and kept the entire process on track. She provided gentle reminders for the items we were responsible for completing, coordinated with our lender, buyers agent, sellers agent, and closing attorney. Jessica is incredibly well organized. When or if we decide to move again, the first call I will make is to The…
Happy Western Ridge, Crozet seller
We couldn’t be more pleased with the Russo Team. Jessica masterfully handled the timing and coordination on the sale of our existing home and purchase of a new construction home. From the first meeting, she made a plan for us to prep our home for sale. She identified a new home under construction that we loved and carefully walked us through the purchase process. When our existing home went on the market, it was under contract in 24 hours, however a home inspection identified a long list of major and minor repairs required. We were very overwhelmed and Jessica personally…
Selling a home and building a new construction home⭐️
We met Jessica at an open house in the spring of 2019, and we couldn’t be happier that we did. She listed and sold our house, and helped us every step of the way with the purchase of our new construction home. Jessica was a step ahead of the process at every turn. Though all of this occurred during the pandemic, she kept us grounded and calm throughout, and we never worried about the outcome. Jessica was a pleasure to work with, and we give her our highest marks. We can say with utmost confidence that we recommend Jessica for…
Free Union sellers and downsizing buyers
Both Jessica and Robert were very professional and yet they also made us feel very comfortable. We put our home on the market and the next day, we had numerous showings. They were spot on with pricing and changes in decor. We loved working with them. Jessica saw us thru both selling and buying. She understood what we looking for and quickly helped us find a home that was right for our needs. She was with us each step of this journey and offered needed advice. We would highly recommend them. I have also all ready recommended them to others.
Greenbrier homebuyer
We had a great experience working with Jessica. For over eight months, we searched with her for the perfect home. In order to fully understand the local market, she spent our first day together showing us a variety of listings throughout the city and county. After we narrowed our criteria, she stayed within our parameters, promptly showing us new listings as they came on the market. She spent ample time with us providing feedback and guidance, never rushing us out of a showing. We could reach out by phone, email and text whenever we had a questions, and always received…
Marsha Sparks
We sought Jessica and Robert Russo's advise as we were moving closer to listing our house. They made several trips to our home advising us on actions needed to ensure a quick sale. We followed their advise and had 3 offers over ask within 24 hours. They were terriffic!
Kara Watson
Our process with Jessica was wonderful! She was able to give great insight into Charlottesville after moving here from Texas. We felt she had our best interest in mind at all times, and was willing to go the extra mile for us. Fun to work with, paid attention to every detail, and found us a new home we love!Enter your information below to
