About Me

Born and raised in Ojai, I grew up immersed in the world of real estate and construction. Escrow, title, closing costs, market trends, offers, contracts, brokerages, and agents were all regular topics of conversation at our dinner table. This upbringing naturally prepared me for the industry I love. When I made the leap into real estate, it felt like a seamless transition, and I've never looked back. My goal is to leverage that lifelong experience to make your real estate journey as smooth and successful as possible.

What Clients are saying

Lindsey Millikin

I worked with Russell buying my first home. He was unbelievable during this process. His communication is top-notch and he made this process feel like a breeze. He was completely there for us whenever we needed him and worked tirelessly to get us exactly what we wanted.

I couldn’t recommend Russell more highly – he is the best of the best.

Annelore Obraza

We couldn’t be happier with the service we received from Russell! We were in the market for a commercial space for our shop prior to the world realizing how intense the COVID-19 pandemic would become. He ensured we found a space that fit our needs and budget (which wasn’t easy!) and made sure we understood the commercial/retail leasing agreements so we were confident and excited to move forward with our investment in ourselves.
If you’re looking for a professional who knows the area, market trends, etc, there are plenty of pros to choose from. Russell does all that, personalizes the service and ensures full confidence before any decisions are made. We can’t thank him enough!

Priscilla Housley

My fiancé and I purchased our first home in Oak View with Russell as our realtor. Russell was very professional, responsive, and an excellent advocate for our interests through every step of the process. Even in a highly competitive market Russell was able to get an awesome deal for us on a house we really love.

Zillow User 6845999

I don’t usually write reviews but my experience buying my home was so very effortless with Russell Boyd I felt I needed to share. I found a property that was going on the market on Wednesday, this was Saturday. Russell advised me to write a personal letter to the seller and then he submitted my offer in a couple of hours. By the next day my offer was accepted. I strongly suspect it was because of Russell professionalism and knowledge in realeststate. He assisted me in finding a broker and answered every question I had. My experience was seemless and effortless due to Russell Boyd’s expertise. I will definitely use Russell for all my future realeststate needs without a doubt!
