Meryll Russell

We had a wonderful experience working with Meryll Russell and highly recommend her. She guided Amy and me through the purchase of our new home in Leisure Village with patience, professionalism, and genuine concern for our interests throughout the entire process. Meryll was responsive, knowledgeable, and always willing to help—well beyond what we expected from our real estate agent. Even after helping us purchase our new home, she assisted us in finding a tenant for our prior Leisure Village home, which made the transition considerably easier. What impressed us most was that we always felt Meryll was looking out for us, rather than simply trying to complete a transaction. She was a pleasure to work with, and Amy and I can recommend her without hesitation.

Meryll represented my husband and I twice - both as sellers. The first transaction was in 2019 and then most recently, during this past July. Each transaction was absolutely a wonderful experience. Most recently, in a challenging market, our home sold prior to it being listed and closed at over the asking price. Another agent contacted Meryll to see if she had any clients preparing to list - as her clients wanted a home in our neighborhood. We were about a month away from listing but on Meryll's advice, agreed to show our home. The same day as the showing we received an ideal offer and accepted shortly thereafter. Meryll is well connected, professional and extremely efficient. You will truly feel like you are her only client. During our most recent sale, we were actually one of ten open escrows she was managing. Meryll is hardworking, patient and extremely detail oriented. Highly recommend on all fronts.

I would give Meryll six stars if I could. Her professionalism is second to none. Our Leisure Village house sold above list price, and we were already priced at the high end. Her advice was spot on, and she was responsive at all hours of the day. She made the process as painless as possible. After we moved out, she handled all of the cleanup and repairs with no effort on our part. Thank you Meryll!

We can’t say enough wonderful things about working with Meryll! From the very beginning, she was an absolute delight—professional, knowledgeable, and always a pleasure to work with. Her response time was incredible. Every question, concern, or detail was handled quickly and thoroughly, making what can often be a stressful process feel smooth and easy. She truly went above and beyond, helping us not only with the purchase of our home, but also with repairs, HOA documents, utility setup, and countless other details that most realtors would have left to us. Having bought and sold many homes over the years, we can honestly say that Meryll is one of the finest real estate professionals we’ve ever worked with. Her dedication, attention to detail, and genuine care for her clients are exceptional. She has our highest recommendation and our heartfelt appreciation. If you’re looking for a realtor who will exceed your expectations every step of the way, Meryll is the one!

My fiancé and I recently purchased a home in Camarillo from Meryll Russell, and we were very satisfied with her expertise sand services she provided. She was very professional and knowledgeable about the real estate market in the area in which we purchased our home. Furthermore, she was very responsive to any inquiries or requests we had during an after the closing of the escrow. I would strongly recommend her to anybody who is interested in purchasing a home in Camarillo.

We met Meryll via a letter she sent for a client seeking a one story home in Camarillo. She was able to quickly and easily sell our home to that client making all of us very happy. She is bright, beautiful, engaging, professional and smart. She was a joy to work with, and I wish I would have known of her when trying to sell my previous property (which never sold). I definitely recommend her as a realtor and hope to keep her as a friend. She is simply the best!

Meryll and Sharron helped us sell my mom’s duplex in Leisure Village. When I say helped, I mean they did everything except pack the boxes! The house needed some work before we could list it in a very buyer-friendly market. How friendly? There were 44 homes listed when we put ours on the MLS. They found the handyman, the guy who resurfaced the kitchen counters, the plumber, and the flooring guy. What’s more, they supervised the tradespeople, let them into the house and locked up behind them. AND, they stayed on top of me to sign the paperwork and made sure that everything happened on time. We were under contract within two weeks of the Open House at 97% of our list price. Thank you Meryll and Sharron, you are the BEST !!

We chose ?Meryll Russell to be in charge of the sale of our parent's home. We knew she was an extremely successful realtor. What we didn’t know was that she is incredibly easy to work with, has vast knowledge of the buying and selling of homes, has patience in the ups and downs of selling, was available almost 24/7, and brought us to a successful sale. If you’re looking to sell your house, we suggest you choose Meryll as your realtor…you won’t be sorry.(or, you’ll be very glad you did.)

Fantastic! Meryll was very accommodating, willing to help us find storage for personal items prior to the sale. Always willing to help with entry into the gated community. She was professional and knowledgeable with extensive experience in this community. Her recommendations were spot on, including refurbishing and upgrades to the residence using contractors and professionals who knew their business well. As a result, everything proceeded in a timely fashion. We were very satisfied the quick progress towards escrow closure and happy with the sale price. Thanks Meryll!

She was knowledgeable about the area. Kept in contact with us so we were informed of the progress and after sale continued to help with after sale problems and needed information. Highly recommend

Selling my in-laws’ home in Leisure Village felt overwhelming, but Meryll Russell and Sharron Parker guided me every step of the way. They recommended the right upgrades to complete before listing to maximize the sale price, and thanks to their expertise, the house sold quickly for full price. It was a huge relief to have everything handled so professionally, and I’m incredibly grateful for their support.

We had an excellent experience working with Meryll. She helped my mother purchase a home in town while also successfully selling a property in another county, which could have been complicated—but she made the entire process feel seamless. She was easy to work with, incredibly responsive, and always patient and clear when explaining each step. They negotiated a great purchase price for the new home and skillfully worked with multiple buyers to secure the best possible selling price. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Meryll Russell and Sharron Parker sold my Leisure Village home without ever putting it on the market! They knew of a buyer completing a 1031 exchange who would appreciate my beautifully updated home, and they made the connection perfectly. Their knowledge of the community, attention to detail, and guidance throughout the process made selling my home smooth and stress-free. It was a huge relief to have everything handled so professionally, and I’m incredibly grateful for their support. I highly recommend them!

Meryll Russell helped us find the perfect home in Camarillo—a pocket listing that never even went on the market! Her knowledge of the local market and access to exclusive listings made all the difference. She guided us through every step of the process with expertise and care. We couldn’t be happier with our new home and highly recommend Meryll to anyone looking to buy in the area.

I needed to sell my parents’ home in Santa Clarita and wasn’t sure if Meryll Russell worked outside Ventura County, but I’m so glad she did! Meryll represented me expertly, helping to find a buyer quickly, negotiate a great deal, and close escrow smoothly. Her knowledge, professionalism, and support made the entire process easy, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home.

Meryll Russell and Sharron Parker helped sell my mom’s gorgeous home in the exclusive Grove retirement community in Camarillo, and the experience was fantastic. They marketed the home expertly across multiple websites, including their own, which is full of helpful information about the Grove. They hired a professional photographer with drone shots, ensuring the home looked its absolute best. With great communication throughout, they guided us through negotiations and sold the home for a fair price, in just two weeks! We highly recommend this mother-daughter team to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Grove!

Meryll Russell represented me in the sale of my mother’s beautiful one-story home on the golf course in Sterling Hills. She guided me through all the paperwork and handled negotiations expertly, making the process smooth and stress-free. I’m so grateful for her support and expertise, and I’m thrilled that she and her mom, Sharron Parker, are currently helping me close escrow on my own new home!

I would highly recommend working with Meryll and the Search 805 Homes team when considering a realtor especially in the Ventura County area. I was downsizing from a home in Thousand Oaks to the new community in Camarillo called the Grove. Meryll worked her magic and negotiated the sale of my home and the purchase of the new one all within a few weeks of each other. She is a delight to work with and a true professional with the highest integrity and extensive experience!

I’ve lived in Leisure Village, in a rental for two years. In February I was told they were selling the property, and I would need to move. After some ups and downs trying to by the house, I had to let it go. After some of the shell shock wore off – I needed to move forward. My head was still spinning, I had a little more than 30 days to buy a house, pack my house and move. It had been thirteen years since buying my last house, plus I had never delt with an HOA before, and was totally overwhelmed. I saw a sign on a house across the street, called Meryll Russell and we were off to the races. Meryll led me though every step, of course giving me choices, but following her lead was the right thing to do. We were dealing with an agent that was not familiar with the village, so she was guiding both sides of the deal with ease and knowledge. The listing was “as Is”, however it needed termite work, a new heating and air system (that was original), asbestos abatement and more. She negotiated the deal so we got all those items covered. With-in the first week, we wrote an offer, Meryll set up appointments for a home inspection, termite, and heating and air conditioning companies and more. She knew what we needed and made it happen. She was always steps ahead, her guidance and knowledge are amazing, anything that came up she took care of. I got a call from Meryll late one day, she said there was a problem with the insurance, but I didn’t want to let you know till we fixed it. (WOW!) There was also, oh you need a permit for that or this, but I already got it (WOW again). There were so many things she took care of for me, even before I knew I need them. I could not be more appreciative and feel so lucky to have Meryll Russell and Sharron Parker as my agents. It’s amazing getting to work with wonderful people you like and can trust completely. We managed to close the deal in less than 30 days!! Thank you, Meryll and Sharron, for having my back, would have never gotten thru this without you!!! Maureen Barclift P.S. I ended up using the termite company, abatement company and air and heating companies that she recommended. I am so impressed by these companies, they did excellent work, guarantee their work and left everything cleaner than they found it.

We are so glad we contacted Meryll and Sharron to help us find a new home. They were amazingly caring and helpful. Our search took several months and many trips from our previous home in Carlsbad, and Meryll and Sharron would find and show us homes each time, no matter where in Ventura County we were looking, always being cheerful and patient. Then when we found our new beautiful home in the Channel Islands area of Oxnard, they recommended a great person to help with our loan and did many things to ease the process of going through escrow and closing on our new house. We just couldn’t recommend Meryll and Sharron more highly.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Meryll and Sharron. If only everyone were as professional, efficient, and on top of things as they are! They not only are extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market and the ins and out of selling a house, but they go so far above and beyond what a realtor does. They coordinated all the trades-people needed to renovate and update the house prior to the sale and they had a resource for everything that needed fixing. When the house was ready, they were able to sell it for over the asking price. They turned what might have been a stressful process into one that was smooth, quick, and pleasurable. And, they’re just lovely people. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell.

I was referred to Meryll and Sharron by my husband’s golf buddy who had recently handled the sale of his mother-in-law’s home when she moved to an assisted living facility. He was 100 percent satisfied. Knowing that this customer was the sort of person who would not settle for anything less than top notch, I decided to give Meryll a call. Over the years, I have worked with realtors on the sale of three of our homes. Working with Meryll and Sharron on the sale of my mother’s home was by far the best sales experience ever. I wanted to get top dollar for the house and I wanted it sold quickly. They advised me on what needed to be done to get the best price without having to put too much money into improvements. They also provided names of contractors who could make the improvements who were professional and reasonably priced. An important benefit of having this team handle the sale, is that they know the CC&Rs, HOA dues, WIFI providers, trash & recycling providers and city and country permit requirements. A prospective buyer can feel confident that they have been informed completely of such things before making an offer. This team had their finger on the pulse of the market so that our asking price was where it needed to be. They have an uncanny ability to anticipate needs and were there to help with a multitude of little time consuming details at a moment’s notice. Given their positive attitude, it is no surprise that our sale went through quickly and profitably. I can unequivocally recommend Meryll Russell and Sharon Parker.

I had the privilege of working with Meryl as my agent during the process of selling my parents' condo. From start to finish, her expertise and dedication were truly remarkable. Throughout the listing period, Meryl went above and beyond to showcase the condo in the best light possible. Her attention to detail was evident in the staging, professional photographs and well-crafted listing description, which highlighted the condo's unique features and advantages. Communication with Meryl was flawless. She kept us informed every step of the way, and was a true superstar in helping navigate the homeowners association. I highly recommend Meryl to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Her exceptional service, industry knowledge, and personal touch truly sets her apart. If you want an agent who will treat your property sale as if it were their own, then look no further! Meryl is a true gem in the world of real estate.

We highly recommend Meryll Russell. We’re very grateful she was our real estate agent for the recent sale of our home. We were first time sellers and Meryll guided us through the process with excellent advice all along the way. We really appreciated how easily accessible she was, always responding quickly to our calls and text messages. Our situation was challenging in that our home had to be sold as an affordable housing property with resale restrictions set by the city. Meryll handled the many city transactions with just the right amount of assertiveness and perseverance, and always with professionalism. The result is we sold our home in a short amount of time for the full asking price. Thank you, Meryll!

My husband and my experience working with Meryll Russell in both the sale of our Simi Valley home AND the purchase of our new home in Oxnard was a very pleasant and positive one. Meryll is very sharp, super sweet, professional and very positive. She assisted greatly with the sale of the Simi home and helped us find our adorable Oxnard home close to the beach. We love Meryll!!

Professional. Efficient. Responsive. Three words that immediately come to mind. Meryll helped us through a very fast 21-day escrow with an inherited property. The home sold the very first day it was listed! Meryll was always ready to help and made an emotionally difficult time so much better than we expected. Meryll will make you feel like you are their only client, whether your property is large or small. Highly recommend!

When it came time to sell our home, we called Meryll. We had heard great things about her from a few of our friends, but it wasn’t until we experienced a transaction with her, did we realize how lucky we were to have her on our team! Meryll walked us through all of the endless paperwork and her on-line marketing/social media is fantastic which attracted so many people to our home; there was literally a line out the door all day to look at our house. Because of her marketing expertise, we had 16 offers within 2 days. She walked us through each of the offers explaining everything and we sent out 5 multiple counter-offers. Meryll helped us negotiate contingency removals (i.e. inspection, appraisal & loan) to be removed before we even entered escrow. We knew it would be a breeze since the counter-offer set the pace for the transaction. We closed escrow in less than 3 weeks! We were extremely happy with our experience with Meryll and highly recommend her real estate services to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Southern California!

We had an amazing experience with Meryll Russell! Her knowledge of Conejo Valley and Camarillo specifically was unparalleled! Our 2840 sq ft home sold so fast (10 HOURS!) that we didn't even have to hold an Open House! We closed in TWO WEEKS! Highly recommend.

I’m so glad I found Meryll and Sharron. They could not have been more helpful and professional. There’s such a range of quality of realtors out there and I feel lucky to have found such an amazing team. I highly recommend working with them.

Meryll helped us with three real estate transactions in 2020: sale of a rental property in Leisure Village, sale of our primary residence, and purchase of a new primary residence. In all cases, she was consumately professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. With her assistance, we were able to locate and successfully bid against four other prospective buyers in purchasing our beautiful new home. We then placed our existing home on the market and Meryll was able to help us sell in just a few days for $30K over the asking price. She was extremely well versed in all technical aspects of the entire real estate process, including disclosures, inspections, procuring the loan for the new home, etc. I can't really imagine how it would be possible for a real estate professional to provide any better service than what we received from Meryll.

Meryll represented us in the attempted sale of our home two years ago. Our timing wasn’t quite right however we forged an excellent working relationship with Meryll and decided that we would delay our sale. We relisted our home in November 2020 with numerous immediate offers awaiting our decision. Meryll did a fantastic job from start to finish.
