Palm Springs Real Estate - Russell Hill Client Testimonial

Buying from afar, we really depended on Russell to give us his honest assessment of properties -- and he never steered us wrong. After we found the perfect place, he helped us through the complicated mortgage process that can be tricky in Palm Springs because of leased land. When we had to suddenly find a new mortgage broker, Russell saved the day and we got an even cheaper interest rate!
