He's one of our own, and this local boy who made good is helping many of his fellow Huntsvillians into the land of profitable investment portfolios through real estate. Born and raised in Huntsville, Russ Russell knows Huntsville and Madison County like only a true native can, and that familiarity is just the beginning of the tremendous set of qualifications he brings to his clients. His greatest asset, however, is his passion. Russ is consumed with passion for his work and brings a total commitment to helping his clients diminish their risks and maximize their profits. His clients benefit from his passion, his expertise, and his high priority placed on excellence in client services.
   Russ opened his company in 1987, and for nearly 19 years he's offered his clients an impressive array of real estate services: the brokerage business, leasing, build-to-suit properties, tax-deferred exchanges, as well as the commercial and investment brokerage business. Russ has studied and prepared himself diligently, and in the process has made himself the best-qualified Realtor in our area. Russ is the only Realtor in the State of Alabama to hold the top two commercial Real Estate designations, the CCIM and SIOR designation from the Society of Industrial and Office REALTORS, as well as the top designation for Tax-Deferred Exchanges, the CEA (Certified Exchange Advisor). The CEA is a title conferred by the American Institute of Real Estate Exchangers. It is a mark of true mastery of section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. The provisions in that section allow individuals to pay no capital gains tax when they dispose of business and investment real estate.
   The CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member) is only conferred after a set of rigorous qualification standards are met. CCIM candidates must complete over 200 classroom hours, a graduate-level curriculum. They must document professional transactions and pass a comprehensive examination that takes an entire day. Fewer one percent of Realtors hold the coveted CCIM, and Russ was Huntsville's first.
   Russ's commitment to gaining total expertise in the field of real estate goes all the way back to his undergraduate years at the University of Alabama, where he earned a BSBA degree in Real Estate. A tiny minority of Realtors actually hold a degree in real estate...less than one percent.
   Russ is the best-qualified Realtor in our area by a wide margin. His training and preparation are impeccable, his passion is all-consuming, and his commitment is unmatched. For your commercial real estate needs, give Russ a call today at (256) 536-7777 or visit www.russrussell.com, where he has over 80 listings, as well as a plethora of information about his company and the services they offer.
