Meet Russ Taylor

Fifty Years. One Community.

For more than five decades, Russ Taylor has helped families buy and sell Champaign County real estate. He grew up on a farm, learned the value of hard work and honesty early, and has lived in Mahomet his whole life. A graduate of Mahomet-Seymour High School, Taylor University, and the University of Illinois, Russ built his career on a simple belief: real estate is about people first, not transactions.

Russ began with Taylor Realty in 1972. Over the years, he and his brother Nick owned and operated several brokerages, and in 2023 they brought it full circle, reestablishing Taylor Realty Associates as an independently owned firm serving the 217 area.

A commitment to relationships that has earned the trust of families who return across multiple generations.

Russ has been our family’s realtor of choice for decades. He and his team are the best the C-U area has to offer. They treat you as a priority and ensure that every part of the home buying and selling process goes as smoothly as it can. I highly recommend him.

Russ is amazing. He is extremely knowledgeable, resourceful, and helpful. No question is a dumb question with Russ. When I decided to sell my house, he was the first and only realtor that I called.
