Waco Starr - The Starr Team - Testimonials

Tell Us Your Story

I recently had the pleasure of working with Waco Starr of Long Realty Company in the sale of a property in Tucson, Arizona.

As an out-of-town seller and licensed California Realtor, I had high expectations. Waco not only met, but exceeded, those expectations. He went above and beyond in every capacity. He was not only my real estate agent but project manager and friend. Waco is friendly, yet professional, kind, yet firm. He was a great negotiator and communicator, and I trusted him implicitly to provide the best recommendations and make the best decisions on my behalf. If you are looking for a qualified and thoughtful agent, who will always have your best interests in mind, then I strongly recommend working with Waco Starr. He is the best of the best.

Waco Starr went above and beyond helping me to sell my property.

I live 4 hrs away so Waco stepped up and found a company to haul things away from the property, and found a very reliable company to clean the house from top to bottom. He kept me informed on everything that was going on. Closing was quick and effortless. I recommend Long realty to anyone needing a hardworking, helpful team at your time of need

Don & Maria Barron

Waco Starr was professional, intelligent, extremely helpful and warm and friendly too.

I would highly recommend him.

Carol Cohen

Waco is friendly, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable of real estate in the Tucson area.

It didn't take me long to find a house while searching with him. He also lined up a very professional home inspector for the home inspection. I am happy with my home buying experience with Waco.

Adam Schmolling

Our experience with Waco Starr Long Realty has been beyond great- Waco was our agent in an estate sale and handled all aspects of the preparation to sale of the property from start to finish.

This was critical for us as we live on the East Coast and any time an issue came up, Waco could turn to his team of Wade, (his highly-skilled technician) or Whitney, (the marketing and estate sale expert) or any number of hand-picked (and reasonably priced) service providers to repair/maintain the home such as plumbers, electricians, and pool maintenance to respond quickly. The team had the house staged beautifully and we had offers starting the first day and a signed contract within four days at full price. But what really touched our heart was Waco’s sensitivity in dealing with an estate issue, understanding our family loss and showing utmost respect. We highly recommend Waco for your property sale!

Now that the closing is done, I wanted to take a moment to rep my realtor, Waco Starr.

This transaction was not without its challenges, not the least of which was that it was essentially performed long-distance. That didn't daunt him. Difficult selling environment? Handled. Some issues w/the property we're selling? He helped find solutions. Wife getting laid off as soon as the loan went to underwriting? He helped keep us calm as we worked through the changes that were required as a result. But besides the challenges he helped us work through, there are two huge comfort layers that he provided as our agent - A) Abby was comfortable with him, and B) he has an army of "people". I don't think there's any aspect of home buying/ownership that he doesn't have a vendor to help with - even smallish things like pet doors - and every single vendor that he's referred us to has been both easy to work with and highly complimentary of him. Nobody seems to have a bad word to say about him, and frankly, we don't, either. If you need to buy or sell a home in the Tucson area, hit him up. He just helps finds solutions.

Scott Goodrich

Great realtor, listened to my concerns and helped me make decisions.

He was on top of all issues and made the process much easier for me.

Waco Starr is a realtor who is efficient, works for the client no matter how difficult these times are right now.

I highly recommend using Waco Starr to buy or sell your home. I love my new home!!

Barbara Johansen

Waco is a great realtor.

It was a pleasure buying a home with him. Waco is very knowledgeable of the Tucson area and and I was able to find a great home. He guided me with the offer price and the post inspection offer. He has a long list of home contractors/professionals that were involved during the inspection and post inspection process that were instrumental in getting detailed inspections and the best price for the home. I will definitely use Waco for my next real estate transaction and will recommend him to my friends and colleagues looking for homes. Thank you! Greg Barry

Greg Barry

The whole process from the offer to the closing was effortless on my part, my agent sent all docs to me on time and handled all of the logistics.

All I had to do was sign docs.

Stanley Starr

The absolute best real estate agent I've ever had.

The most efficient transaction imaginable. No matter the issue, Waco had the solution. An absolute wealth of information. Patrick

Patrick Bays Do

Waco Starr helped me sell my home last year and this year helped me buy a townhome.

He was so attentive and responsive through every step of the process. I appreciated that he went out of his way to search for all the homes that met my criteria to be sure I was putting an offer on the one that was the best fit. He advised me of the best offer to make, supported me through inspection and advocated for me with requesting repairs from the seller before closing (all requested repairs were paid for by the seller!). He even picked up and delivered my keys! Waco has such a breadth of experience in home remodeling, I felt really reassured by his assessment of the recent remodel of my new home. He was always available for me and just a text for phone call away. Thank you, Waco! I really love my new place and am so happy someone I trust helped me buy it!

Amy Schaller

We will always use Waco for all our real estate needs, we love him so much!

Robert & Gloria Studer

The agents were very, very helpful.

I would use them again.

Stanley Sefcik

Waco was extremely helpful and patient as we worked through our home sale, search and home purchase.

Our last home purchase and move was 24 years ago in another state so there were many issues to address and Waco Starr helped us throughout.

Craig & Conchetta Robinson

I really enjoyed working with Waco.

I had to move out of state when the house went on the market and Waco made sure the house stayed in good shape in my absence and took care of everything locally so that I was able to close from out of state without needing to return.

John Willey

3 years ago we decided to move to the Tucson area.

We had no contacts in the area. We were on realtor com and we contacted 2 realtors to set up visits. Within a few hours Waco responded and we set up the visit. Ever since Waco has helped us with many issues and information we needed assistant with. We are blessed to know him

Andrew & Julia Dear

Waco was great about communicating and answering questions.

He did an excellent job with promoting my house on Instagram and did several open houses in 1 week because we needed a quick sale. His efforts were very appreciated and he is a very kind person. Will give Waco all the recommendations I can.

Dena & Michelle Roblee

Went over and above what was required to sell my condo and would recommend Waco wholeheartedly to act on my behalf again.

Alan Hill

I came to Waco with some vacant land that I wasn't able to get a offer in the price range I wanted.

He communicated well with me when there was interest and advised me throughout the process. When I didnt hear from him, I would get emails that told me how many times the property was viewed. When it came time to complete the deal, he made it very easy to sign the paperwork and I got the fund transfer very quickly. Im happy with my experience and would recommend him for any realty deal that my friends have. Thanks Waco for making this such an easy process!

Sarah M

If I could rate Waco 10 stars, I would!

I buy and sell land, and I recently purchased a piece of land south of Tucson. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of not consulting with Waco before buying the property. The land had more problems than I had anticipated, and when I tried to sell it, it was quite challenging. In fact, Waco was the second agent I hired for this property. The first agent refused to do the things I had asked for, such as putting a sign on the property. When I was referred to Waco, he did an excellent job putting a sign on the property and a sign on the street to direct potential buyers towards it. Even though this property was a challenge, Waco worked with me for a year, always remaining positive and encouraging throughout the entire process. I'm happy to report that we just closed on selling the property to a really nice buyer who is going to use it for recreational purposes. Thank you so much, Waco! You are a rockstar, and I will definitely give you a call before I buy anything else in Arizona!

Timothy Krause

Waco provided stellar service - knowledgeable, personable, efficient.

If you allowed 6 stars he would get that

Sarah McCabe

Waco Starr is an excellent agent who works hard at making his clients happy.

I had an excellent experience and can’t say enough about his kindness and knowledge about the selling and buying process !

Kelly Wisdom

Waco and the Starr team were just amazing!

I reached out to them to help me assist my mother in getting my grandmother's home sold. Not an easy thing for my mom to sell her childhood home, but it was time and really couldn't keep up with the upkeep of the home. Waco and his team were compassionate and really understood the overall situation and difficulties of letting go this property. They ensured our family would be taken care of. The team was in constant communication with myself, my sister who lives out of state and my mother. Either through text messaging, emails or even phone calls. If one of us had a question or needed clarification or guidance, the Starr team was very responsive, and answered everything we gave them. They worked magic, in my opinion to get the house quickly sold, which to be honest, if this had taken a long dragged out process, I'm not sure mom would have let the house go. But she trusted my sister and I and trusted Waco and his team to get the property sold. We can't thank Waco and his team enough for their great work.

Michael Lopez

Waco and Jon were wonderful.

As a first time home buyer I had a lot of questions and they were always available with answers and advice every step of the way. They made it such a positive experience and I will high recommend!!

Amanda Budreau

Waco Starr is a seasoned agent and made the process of buying my new home easy, efficient, and fun.

I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Tucson. He’s a superstar.

Deonne Kahler

Waco Starr was the best real estate agent I've ever had the privilege to work with.

I was purchasing Tucson property for a family member, but I live near Austin TX. His knowledge of the market was impressive; he was able to pinpoint properties that aligned perfectly with my needs and preferences. Waco also provided invaluable guidance and support throughout the entire home buying process when I made an in-person trip to Tucson . Within 3 days we were able to find the right home, make an offer and complete the inspection. Lastly, he patiently worked with the other agent when things got off track (not his fault) throughout the closing process. I got a terrific home for a great price. It was a calm and productive transaction, and I feel like I have a friend for life. THANK YOU, Waco.

Deborah & Duane Campbell

Our Agent, Waco Starr, did a great job on a difficult transaction.

Guy & Patricia Blumenthal

I’m eternally grateful to Waco and his team for selling my home in record time.

Well done!

Barbara Johansen

Waco Starr sold my home in 2026.

His knowledge of the local area and market was instrumental throughout the process. He went above and beyond with repairs, recommending service professionals, taking Hollywood quality photos and drone videos, and being onsite as often and much as needed. He is truly a downtown Tucson icon in real estate!

Marie Fisher

Waco was very available, thorough, knowledgeable and very helpful throughout the entire process!

It was comforting knowing he had our interests at heart and went to bat for us. I would absolutely recommend him for any home buyer, you can’t go wrong!

Cindy Ruby

Waco was absolutely incredible.

For a transaction that could have fallen off the rails NUMEROUS times, he was calm under pressure, he handled himself with the utmost professionalism and he made what should have been a wildly painful process, very very easy. I'd recommend Waco to anyone and everyone.

Bryan Beal

Great working with you and team Waco!

Patty McCracken

Waco is great.

He made the selling process smooth and easy and I appreciate his insight, integrity and experience. He has a good eye for what buyers want and a good team to help apply his vision. Mr. Starr sets the bar high in realty, and makes it obvious the difference between a good realtor and a great one. Thanks Waco!

Lisa Sims

So good to work with.

On to another adventure for me. Good luck in your future

Patty McCracken

A pleasure to work with my agent, Waco Star, and all his professional colleagues, providing an integrated buying experience, from the initial showing to the closing and arranging insurance.

Waco was genuinely interested in the purchaser being happy with their prospective purchase, rather than just trying to push the sale. Additionally, he went over and above to help you with things that would normally be outside the purview of an agent, arranging inspections and helping with adaptations and working with contractors to get work done before moving in. I would highly recommend him as your agent when buying or selling a property. You can rely on him to act with impartiality with both seller and buyer

Alan Hill

Waco made my first time home buying so smooth!

Only had to look 3 days and was done looking!

Shane & Nicole Whittington

The Starr Team is the absolute best.

They brought in the full range of experience, skill and talent to handle every problem that arose in handling estate property and preparing the house for sale. The house was truly beautiful- sold for the full asking price after only four days on the market. Their understanding and caring approach got us through this difficult time. As we live on the east coast - it was truly a blessing having Waco and the Starr Team on point for us in Arizona.

Al Love

Waco was great!

Dutiful, patient and kind.

Jeremy Zarzycki

First, I would love to say thank you to the team in rita ranch for all your help.

As a first time home buyer this process can be stressful but they made it as easy as it can be! Waco Starr was our realtor and we couldn't have asked for a better one! He helped find our dream home in no time. I honestly, cant thank him enough!

"I met Waco and his team through reaching out on Facebook to work with his team on their marketing, and was impressed with their knowledge and overall approach to Real Estate. I can tell that Waco and his team truly care about every client that they work with. They made sure that every client had the best experience, and helped everyone every step of the way even if they were not qualified at that time. They truly cared to give everyone the best experience possible and I could tell. They had a great sense of community, and were extremely friendly and easy to work with. I had a great experience working with Waco and his team and would recommend them to anyone looking to relocate to the Tucson region, or selling in Tucson."

"Waco sold my home in 2026. His and his team's deep knowledge and experience in downtown Tucson, particularly with historic and unique properties in Barrio Viejo, was instrumental throughout the entire process. From recommending vendors and service professionals, to having professional photos and drone videos and videos taken, to being onsite as much as possible, to promoting the property at every turn and through every channel - I was truly blown away by his dedication and professionalism. He's also just a really great person who has become a good friend."

"Waco was an amazing realtor and I can't say "Thank you!!" enough. Since I work in the industry, it was super important to me that we have someone who Ira felt comfortable talking to. Waco has been our friend and we couldn't have imagined a better dream team than him and his amazing husband, our mortgage consultant Jon. They were super patient with these first time home buyers and made the process as stress-free as possible.Waco never seemed to tire of showing us homes and was amazing at hand-picking out homes from the MLS that we hadn't seen or previously considered from our own internet search.We ended up submitting three offers on different homes, as it is a competitive market. In our price range were were seeing multiple offers as the norm, but it was nice to know that the other times we got beat out, we weren't far off. Waco was determined to get us a good home at a fair price. Once we found the winning home, the transaction wasn't the easiest. Our seller was determined to cut corners, but Waco took each step in stride and was a great advocate for us. He made sure the appliances (removed by the previous tenants) were replaced and property installed, organized the repair work to the electrical, and generally helped lay the groundwork for a wonderful house we could grow into.Beyond the specifics of our transaction, I can't recommend Waco enough as a generally amazing person. He also kept his good humor throughout, making us laugh even when stressed. He is a joy to interact with and is a just a "good vibes" kind of person."

"If you are looking for a realtor in Tucson. Waco is the one you want! Waco had been recommended to me through a friend in the industry and delivered in all areas! I honesty couldn’t recommend a better person or experience than I had with Waco Starr and his team. As a first time home buyer but also someone who does their research and is a Tucson Native I do not think I was ease to impress. I have lightly stalked the Tucson market for years (lets just say my Zillow scroll game is on point) and have a lot of the understanding but not the actual experience in real estate purchasing. A lot of people talk about how stressful and challenging buying a house is. Honestly, mine was the easiest thing I have done in the last few years. I’d like to say I’m just lucky. However, I realize it has more to do with my amazing realtor (Waco) and how he curated the experience in a way that took away unnecessary stressors and created efficiencies in paperwork and inspections. There is a subtle grace and earnestly that Waco has which is beyond helpful. There are times during the process which you need a guiding hand and also times you might need to be situated back to reality. As I call it- “of course I want it for free… but what’s my next best option”. It’s the reality of I know this is going to be a cost- but how do I navigate this in the best way for myself. Waco is genuine and trustworthy. He was able to understand what was important to me and ultimately closed a deal that left me feeling very good. I learned so much through this experience- it was quite delightful. That I think about my future house or investment and the fun I will have when I partner up with Waco and his team again!At the end of the day -turns out everyone is just a bird trying to build their nest."
