I started my career in real estate at the Long Realty Foothills Office and have been here ever since! Love this office and all the people in it. #1 office for Long Realty for a reason. Friendly agents and fantastic leadership. And the strength, as always, the behind the scenes staff. Long Realty Foothills is the BEST!

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

Ms. Rose Ronstadt and her team at Long Realty Catalina Foothills helped me relocate from Southern California to the Foothills. Ms. Ronstadt and her team were fair, knowledgeable, and compassionate. Thank you for helping me achieve this personal goal.

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.

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!
