“Russ Smith (no, he’s not my brother, we just share a great last name) helped us secure a commercial building in Mission Viejo. The inventory was literally non-existent so Russ went out and created it. He was able to find us several options, all off market, from his vast network and knowledge of the area. We probably still would not have a building if it wasn’t for him taking those extra steps to find what we were looking for.

Russ is our go to guy now.”

“Earlier this year (2021), my partnership retained Russ Smith, Vice President of Voit Real Estate Services, as our broker to sell two low-rise office buildings in Laguna Hills which our partnership had owned for 16 years. We preferred to sell both buildings to a single buyer, expeditiously but of course for the highest and best price. Russ did an exemplary job aggressively marketing both buildings and was able to fetch a sale price of the two buildings to one buyer that was above-market. Throughout the marketing process, Russ kept me up-to-date on the progress of the sale, promptly returning my telephone calls and e-mails. He did an excellent job for us and I recommend him highly.”

“When it comes to commercial real estate, it is critical for me to work with someone who is both sharply analytical and uncharacteristically honest. Russ has the rare combination of both. He takes the time to explore potential deals and thoroughly discuss specifics of each property, which goes against the grain of commercial RE brokers/agents focused on volume. In a sea of mediocrity, Russ is a rare find.”
