About Billy Russell

One of the most common questions when selecting a Real Estate agent is “Why You?”

Here is a quick overview of my background and success in real estate so far.

I was born in Mount Maunganui and grew up in the Arataki area so I know the area like the back of my hand. Post school I decided to chase my dreams and was given a contract to play rugby in Scotland. While there, I picked up a career in sales working as the Sales Manager for most of the major sports organisations in the North of Scotland like Adidas, Nike, Canterbury just to name a few.

It was here I picked up a lot skills in negotiation and learnt that excellent customer service is one of the best traits anyone can have. I found that if a customer or client is aware what's going on at each step along the way, they can make informed and calculated decisions and they will find the process a lot less stressful.

When deciding to return to the sunny Mount, I chose real estate as this is an area I thought would most benefit my skill set and being from here, I knew my local connections would be an asset. I have currently been in real estate for 13 years and have gained a lot of awards, knowledge and experience along the way including expanding to Billy Russell & Co. where I have a small team assiting me. If you’re looking at selling or buying your home, we are here to help make that journey as stress free as possible while getting you the best possible price.

Billy - is my Real estate man, how to publicly thank a man like Billy. I'm a single, 71 years old lady......... I don't know why Billy looked after my interests so well, perhaps my age, perhaps because I was overseas on holiday or just perhaps that's Billy and he is like that, no favorites. It took a long time to sell my investment house at the Mount, about nine months, it was one of those properties. I thought it was a great investment and it was, but it wasn't an easy sell when like minded investors were on the same page as I was. Billy went down every sales angle, he didn't leave the place sitting on the books, we jumped from price by enquiry, set pricing, auction, relist it, he was my property manager every sunday at open homes first on scene when the plumber was needed, there for the electrician. Things went wrong while I was overseas on holiday. Billy sure did his job. Over the listing period, Billy put four or five contracts in front of me, all but the last falling over, the first one came in on the day I had a heart attack and started a whole new existence lol. Billy leveled up and became the most important man in my life looking after my interests at the Mount house with my tenants, floods, broken toilets. If it could go wrong it did and Billy simply sorted it. My house finally went unconditional on my 71st birthday the day before I flew home. How do I thank him for being him............ the best real estate salesperson I have ever come across.......... Billy Talks the talk and Walks the walk he had my back at every turn. Bless you Billy - Jan Wilkinson
Billy and Bella are a fabulous team and worked hard to get a sale over the line on my unique commercial boarding house in Otumoetai, Tauranga. Billy was in touch regularly, dealt with a lot of different moving parts throughout the process, and was fun and approachable to deal with. Billy is very proactive in his approach to marketing, and was very good at bringing a number of offers throughout the duration of the time the property was on the market. Eventually, Billy secured a great price for the house in an economic recession $$ environment, with fabulous buyers and a great outcome. I highly recommend Billy and his team as friendly, approachable people who know how to sell a home. Highly recommend.- Memphis Robson-Frentz
