Success Stories
I first approached Russell about the purchase of a condominium close to the property which we eventually purchased. Once we started talking he mentioned a property which he was working on in the same area, but in a much different price range. One which I initially felt was out side of our reach, but which we eventually bought. I continued to keep in touch with Russell after that initial conversation and as he shared additional details on the property, I came to understand his initial perspective, that once all factors were accounted for, the property was not that far from our price range...if we could work through several details as the transaction transpired. My wife and I were new to the area and he helped to educate us on the relative value of the opportunity and why it would make sense for us to take a little more risk to get in to the property we were discussing. He outlined the process which we would be going through and we were able to time the initial Letter of intent to the seller the day after finalizing related transactions, making it possible for us to continue with the offer. Additionally, he helped us to put together a great letter of introduction and establish initial terms which were appropriate for the seller. Both of these aspects of the transaction were highly influential and ultimately extremely valuable. All the positive aspects listed above are excellent, and yet by far Russell's greatest strength is his responsiveness. For our transaction, he knew that there were a couple things against us, we didn't know the area, we were going to be taking on more than we had planned and my wife was out of the country for much of the time we were working on the transaction. Russell and I were in contact nearly every day as I worked through him to get the right loan broker (who worked tirelessly as well to make this happen), with the escrow company, inspectors, repair people, etc. There were many complex moving parts to the transaction and Russell was there for us every step of the way. Throughout the process, Russell was there answering every question I had and watching our backs to make sure that the people he brought in performed."

Russell did an amazing job from start to finish with the sale of our family home. We especially appreciated his positivity, great communication skills, and hard work ethic! He and his fabulous team marketed the home with great success resulting in much interest and multiple offers. They made the sale happen, and we recommend Russell and his team to everyone.

- They did an amazing job for me and got things done in the best possible way. Very fun and nice guys to work with, together with their fantastic team I would for sure work with them again. Thank you and goodbye Malibu!

We had the pleasure to work with Russell on the sale of our property in Ventura County. Simply put, he was amazing! Not only was he able to help us negotiate a deal we believe was above market value, but his communication skills and thought process were exceptional. He truly works hard and is available 24/7 for his clients. Thank you Russell!

I first met Russell in 2017 when my husband and I moved to Malibu. His knowledge of the area was awesome as was his patience. After renting for a year, I contacted Russell to buy a home. He took care of me every step of the way and continued to stay in touch over the past 5 years. When it came time to sell for us to move back east, of course I called Russell. Everyone on the team was involved in the process. Nikki, Justin, and Jessica were great to work with as they became familiar with our family and dogs as we showed the property. I am very happy with the outcome and recommend them highly. Their knowledge of the market and engagement was outstanding.

The Grether Group helped us find and purchase our first home in our dream location and they were absolutely wonderful to work with in every way. They were always professional, timely, and thorough, but also kind, generous, lively, and just so fun to be around and talk to. We worked very closely with Russell, Nikki, and Jessica, and I’m lucky enough to be able to call them friends after this process. I will recommend them every chance I get!

- Russell (who was our direct contact) was on top of everything, he educated and guided us through the whole process. He is so Malibu versed in so many ways I think he should run for Mayor. Thanks, Russell!
Evyen & Pamela K.
I represented the buyer on one of Russell's recent listings, and couldn't be happier with the way things turned out. The entire team was super efficient and organized! Russell really looked out for everyone involved to find a win-win for the seller and buyer, and his team made things seamless from opening to closing. They were patient and responsive to all our requests and questions, and super professional throughout. Would definitely do it again! Highly recommend.
Sammy L.
They found me an amazing rental for my family in a very tight market. Very easy to work with, and personally invested in my satisfaction! Highly recommended.

This team is as good as they come. My husband and I were very picky about the neighborhood, architecture, layout, lot orientation, etc. We were also new to the area and didn't know much about neighborhoods. Russell tirelessly (and always enthusiastically) toured us through no less than 35 houses. However, where Russell REALLY shines is in his negotiation skills. He has a natural ability to get people to open up to him, so he was able to understand what was important to sellers and where they might be willing to give. He is also meticulous at all documentation, which is so important with such a large purchase. Russell is also extremely strategic about helping people buy houses - he was never pushy and wanted to make sure that we made an investment that would make us happy emotionally and financially.

We were very pleased with our experience working with Russell and his team. Russell is very calming, positive and enthusiastic. The actual staging was amazing and helpful. We have worked with Russel twice, both out comes and the total experience were positive.

We would like to thank both Russell and Jessica for the time and effort in helping us get the current house. With their help and effort, we are able to buy our house at a great price. We are grateful that we are able to win the deal especially in current challenging market. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a property.

As a fellow real estate agent, I wholeheartedly recommend Russell Grether and his team. I recently closed on a land purchase for my buyer clients in Malibu, where Russell represented the owners of the property. Stem to stern, Russell worked diligently to ensure that we achieved a win-win for all involved. In a complex transaction, knowledgeable and professional representation is key. Russell diligently represents his clients, and understands that collaboration leads the way to the best outcomes for all. Through constant communication, he ensured that all of my clients questions were answered promptly and thoroughly. Russell shows his devotion to his clients through his approach to every aspect of real estate. It is crystal clear to me that Russell values his clients, considers their needs above his own, and builds long-term relationships based on trust, knowledge, and respect for all. I hope to work with Russell again in the future, and absolutely recommend him and his team!

We could not have been more pleased with Russell and the way he handled our off-market purchase of a highly sought-after Malibu townhome. Absolute professionalism in every sense of the word. He truly differentiates himself from others in the field via his data-driven approach to analyzing price and relevant comps, attentiveness to even the most minor details, and his punctuality throughout the process. He makes himself available 24/7 for his clients, ultimately approaching each transaction with the sharp eye that only a buyer or seller generally does. My wife and I literally cannot speak highly enough of Russell and would recommend him to anyone that truly values this level of professionalism and service. He even goes out of his way to provide informed opinions on decorating ideas, post-closing strategies, etc. Thank you so much for all of the hard effort - we were genuinely ecstatic about how you handled a relatively complex transaction. Moreover, we’re confident that if we had chosen anyone else to represent us, we would not have enjoyed such a professional experience throughout the process.
Mark M.
Working with Russell was a great experience!!! He guided us very closely at every step of the way, explained our options and our best approach. He was very kind during the process and we actually became good friends! He is a great person and an awesome agent and we feel very lucky to have been able to work with him. We recommend his services to anyone who is looking for his friendly approach & professionalism. Keep up the good work Russell & we hope to work together with you on more deals in the future!
Chris M.
Thank you Russell for your hands on dedication to fixing up my house and getting the best price for it. It was a pleasure getting to know you and your team and working with you. I appreciate you!
Scott K.
Russell is the guy! He was extremely helpful from our initial search all the way through to closing. He genuinely wants to find his clients the best home and the best deal. He and his team are responsive, hardworking and they know what they're doing! I'd recommend Russell to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in LA or Ventura County.
Ali M.
My husband and I were really impressed with the entire process of buying and selling our properties with Russell. He was extremely knowledgeable, very approachable, and his professionalism went beyond our expectations. He turned what could have been a stressful time in our lives, into a smooth, stress-free and enjoyable experience. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Russell to anyone and everyone who is looking for a true expert that will go the extra mile for his clients.
Lani R.
Russell is top-notch. He's among the best real estate agents I've ever worked with -- knowledgeable, responsive, honest, and a great listener (as our needs/wants for a house kept getting honed!). I highly recommend him.
