I am in the process of listing for sale my townhome in Tucson. Vida Madrid was recommended to me by a friend. I am so grateful for this recommendation. Vida has been wonderful! I feel certain she has many other properties she's working with that are far more luxurious than mine, but she makes me feel as if I'm her only client. I live out of state and she has handled all of the small but necessary details preparing to list my townhome. She has very skilled and responsive resources for plumbing, handyman, cleaning, etc. I donated my entire household but I couldn't stay in Tucson for the date of the pick up truck. Vida went to my TH and made sure everything that was to be donated was picked up. She has kept me up to date with all of the prep work prior to listing. This is the third property I have sold in the past 9 years and this has been, by far my best experience

My wife and I have just re-located here from Raleigh NC and earlier this year I contacted Jennifer Serrato and she sent us listings that fitted our requirements. After selling our house we made the move and Jennifer spend a considerable amount of time and energy showing properties. We eventually landed on the right house and closed the sale. Throughout the whole process, Jennifer was very professional, patience, friendly and very knowledgeable. She comes with the highest recommendation.

Recently listed and sold my late brothers home in Eagle Crest Estates and a piece of property in Silverbell Estates. The listing agent John Ovitz was awesome, professional and right on top of everything. This was especially helpful as I am in California. I depended on him for his advise and he didn't steer me wrong. I highly recommend him.

Complete failure to respond professionally. Screaming and yelling at customers, claiming to be "too busy". Hanging up the phone. Extremely unprofessional and immature. Making threats. There must be someone at Long's Reality willing to work. The broker I called claimed she owned Long's Reality and was the registered Broker. Pity. So unpleasant and high handed.

Long Realty is truly a "one stop shop"! I am a Retired Veteran and my wife is a Veteran. We were put in touch with Long Realty by Veterans United Mortgage Company. Long Realty's association with Veterans United is in the form of a subsidiary company called Veterans United Realty Network and our Agent Realtor was Joel Pilemeier. Our Transaction Manager was Oden Raine, Sales Director. Our purchase of a home started out in fine form, with paperwork submittals and completion of a contract with the home seller sailing through the process. Then, our prospective purchase became a tangle of issues with the seller, and Flexibility became the key word of the day. There were three extensions of our closing date, the seller had money problems, then Covid hit my wife and I. Throughout this tangle of problems, Joel and Oden remained positive and supportive. When it became obvious that the sale might not go through due to the sellers issues, Joel and Oden teamed with the sellers Agent and Veterans United Mortgage to ensure that the sale would be completed successfully. Key to the success of the sale was the assistance of the team of Kristen Rutkowski, Maribel Cervantes, and Nicole Atkinson at Agave Title. They worked well with Joel and Oden to ensure that the correct documents were prepared and sent to us for our electronic signatures. Another important part of the sale was the great service received from Sue Burd and Melissa Dahl at Long Insurance Group when we needed to obtain Homeowners Insurance. Tyler Lopez was instrumental in ensuring that necessary documents for the sale were sent to us for our signatures. Finally, everything fell into place and a closing date was set. My wife and I started our travel from Colorado to Arizona, and the seller had another issue with his finances. Joel and Oden maintained contact with the sellers Agent and Veterans United Mortgage and everything worked out. Then, our final walk-through inspection of the house with Joel was a disaster as the seller still had 50% of his belongings in the house. A plan was put into place that allowed the seller to continue removing his property. While we were on the road back to Colorado, an issue with the sellers mortgage company came up and Joel and Oden again stepped up and took care of it for us. Oden went above and beyond by staying with the seller for two days to ensure that he removed his property and that no "final acts of defiance" type damage occurred while the property was removed. I know this is a long testimonial, but it is necessary to show how this organization goes so far above and beyond to ensure that their clients receive the very best personalized care and exceptional customer service. As a Veteran, if you need personalized and professional Realtor services, Long Realty, Tucson, Arizona is the company to contact.

David Guthrie is wonderful. Most helpful agent I've ever worked with. He worked endlessly to help me find the perfect home amidst the crazy market right now! Absolutely would recommend him to anyone looking for a home-especially first time home buyers!

My experience with Long Realty in the Tucson foothills was the worst real estate experience in my history and I've bought and sold 14 homes and condos in my lifetime in California, Colorado and Arizona. My agent was Merle Martinovich an she acted as a dual-agent on a condo I bought in Ventana Canyon. Without going into all the details, what ethical agent recommends to the buyer NOT to do an appraisal or an inspection on a 30 year old property just because it's had a few superficial updates? Well, I did an inspection despite her advice and asked for the 30 year old AC unit to be repaired or replaced with a licensed HVAC contractor based on the inspector's advice. What I received was a "handyman receipt" but after closing on the condo realizing that nothing had been done to the unit at all. It's covered in black mold and is rusting out and the temps can never get to below 76 degrees. I am already having respiratory issues due to breathing in this black mold! I've contacted Laura Mance and Merle Martinovich including a letter and photos from my attorney and they are not willing to offer a dime (or ask the sellers) for making this situation right by me! I'm basically SOL because Long Realty hasn't stepped up for me as the buyer at all. In fact, the seller got $5000 over-asking from me and the agent lined her pocket with double the commission. So best of luck to you if you hire Long Realty in the Tucson foothills!

Kevin Nullmeyer listed and sold my home in Eagle Crest Ranch within a week. We were able to do business even though I now live in Scottsdale. I cannot say enough Kevin's professionalism, courtesy, and constant communication via email, text and phone. Close of Escrow was Friday, December, 15, 2017. I was in and out of the office in 15 minutes thanks to Dawnell Juergensen's excellent work with Fidelity National Title Agency. Sad to leave the Tucson area, but happy with the Long Realty Company.

Merle Martinovich is one of the best realtors I've met. She looked at dozens of houses with me & my husband as we tried to find the perfect one. We made an offer on a house we thought was the one only to find out it was sold while we were seeing it! Nevertheless Merle continued to look for properties that would appeal to us. When we finally found the one she not only recommended different inspectors & contractors but she also coordinated meeting them at the house when we couldn't be available. The roof on our house needed to be redone and she negotiated on our behalf with the seller's agent to get everything done to our satisfaction. Merle worked tirelessly for us throughout the process and put in countless hours to make sure she didn't just sell us a house but rather a home we could enjoy for years to come. I would only recommend Merle to anyone looking for an agent. She was not pushy like others I've met and really wanted the best for us.

Sally Shaw, our Long Realty agent, did an outstanding job of helping us to find a home in Tucson! She was trust-worthy, funny, patient, knowledgeable, empathetic, experienced, enthusiastic, and incredibly hard-working! Sally gently guided us through the whole home-buying process, paying close attention to important details which we did not know about, and frequently coming up with ways to make things easier and more cost-effective for us. If you get Sally Shaw as your real estate agent, you will be in good hands.
