Ryan Dalzell and his team are AMAZING!!!! They helped my wife and I find our dream home. We lived in the Bay Area for most of our lives and have always talked about moving to San Diego. We looked at houses online for over a year and finally decided to look for a Real Estate Agent. A friend referred us to Ryan Dalzell. Initially I was really skeptical about buying a home without physically seeing it. Ryan assured us that he will help make it happen as he had/has several clients in a similar circumstance. He showed us numerous houses via facetime. During these showings Ryan was always on time, he was really professional, knowledgeable, very detailed-oriented, and most importantly he always pointed out all the negative aspects of the home (without us prompting). He never sugar coated anything. Throughout the entire process I really got a sense that he was NOT trying to make a quick transaction, and he really wanted us to buy our dream home. He never pressured us to do anything. He answered all texts and emails in a prompt manner. When we finally found our dream house, Ryan was on top of the negotiation process. He would actively communicate with us and the seller's agent. He was always PROMPT! When we entered the closing stage, Ryan's team would text and email us updates and documents that required signatures. Ryan was 100% hands on during this process as well. He would make numerous trips to the house when needed or upon our request without delay. If we needed something repaired, he provided a quote from a handyman. Not only did he help us with the purchase, he also made our move-in process seamless and effortless. I can't say enough good things about Ryan Dalzell and his team. read more

Ryan and the Dalzell Group are superstars. I recently sold a home in Carmel Valley while living on the East Coast. It had been a rental for 17 years and needed a lot of work. Ryan was amazing; from advising on what work was needed - to finding and booking contractors, stagers, cleaners, and the handyman - to personally meeting them all at the home - to taking care of numerous other details we would normally have done if we were in the area - he literally did it all for us. He also provided insight on what was happening and likely going to happen in this volatile market that was uncannily on point. I asked him for next week's Mega Millions numbers, but he wouldn't tell me. Other than that, he was the perfect realtor. Thanks for everything Ryan and the Dalzell Group! read more

My wife and I worked with Ryan Dalzell on the purchase of our first home. Ryan was easy to work with and very helpful in explaining all the ins and outs of the process. We found a home so fast that we didn't actually get a ton of time to work with the Dalzell Group, but I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a home, big or small. Ryan was incredibly responsive (we noticed that was not always the case with other realtors we came across), always available for a phone call, and a fair and aggressive negotiator. We always felt that we had a strong advocate whenever something didn't go perfectly smooth. The Dalzell Group offers top notch service throughout the entire process, even though we we're probably one of their smallest clients, we never felt like that. If you end up using them, you will not be disappointed. read more

If you want a professional, first-class, friendly, and knowledgable realtor, Ryan and the Dalzell group should be your choice. Ryan was amazing with juggling so many details, timing, appraisals, inspections, and made the whole process of selling our home a smooth and easy process. He was always prompt in answering questions, emails, texts, and he did a fabulous job of marketing our home with professional photographs, staging, videos, mailers, and open houses. We became friends through the process and will miss him when we move to Nothern California. Next time we buy or sell a home in San Diego, we will definitely use the Dalzell Group. read more

Ryan and the Dalzell Group helped me to purchase my first home. Ryan showed me countless properties until I found the right one, and then he navigated the offer process to help me stand out from the numerous other offers.

I have worked with Ryan on 4 successful transactions for investment properties. He has always been very helpful and accommodating.

Ryan just helped us sell our house and we couldn't be more thrilled with our experience. His professionalism and expertise helped us get an offer for the right price within just days of listing, and we even closed early. Many realtors out there are pushy, and simply put, do not have the experience necessary to give helpful advice in terms of counter offers and list price. Ryan was helpful, professional, responsive, and kind. A good realtor makes ALL the difference in buying or selling a home and Ryan has certainly earned our recommendation! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Ryan and his team. My wife and I recently bought our first home. As this was our first time going through the process there were a lot of nerves and a lot of unknowns. Ryan and the team met us at every step of the way and made sure we understood what was going on and beyond that, that we were comfortable with everything. Ryan was so quick to respond to every question and email. With two young children scheduling can be difficult, Ryan not only worked around our schedule but made sure we felt like a priority. I cannot recommend Ryan and the Dalzell group enough. We are so thankful we made the decision to go with him and their team. We are loving our new home and are so grateful. read more

We interviewed a few realtors before deciding to go with Ryan with the sale of our home. We lived in Carmel Valley and it was important that we find someone who was knowledgeable about the area as well as familiar with the market conditions. Ryan met all the criteria we were looking for. He was very professional throughout the whole process of selling our home; from staging, to taking professional twilight photos to creating brochures. He was very personable and is able to to interact well with other agents and their clients. He communicated to us promptly and is always quick to return our calls. He is a strong negotiator and was able to successfully negotiate a great price for our home. Our home went into escrow in 5 days of listing it. We are thankful we found Ryan and the rest of the members of the Dalzell group. read more

We had a great experience with Ryan and the Dalzell Group from start to finish. It was important to us that we worked with someone that was courteous, prompt, marketed our property to our standards, worked well with other realtors, and displayed professional business manner. Each member of the Dalzell Group is so courteous and easy to work with. They all showed these characteristics that were important to us. We would definitely recommend the group to anyone buying and/or selling their property. Thanks so much to the entire Dalzell Group! read more

As a homeowner who hired Ryan Dalzell to sell our unique home, I was very satisfied with his professionalism, friendliness and quality of service. We interviewed many Realtors and quickly found out that not all Realtors are created equal. Ryan stands out from all the rest. He and is team at The Dalzell Group were very responsive and knowledgeable. Ryan smoothly handled all aspects of our sale from marketing to negotiating offers, to bringing in specialists (e.g. stagers, contractors, etc.), and then navigating through the sometimes tricky escrow process. I would highly recommend Ryan Dalzell to sell your home! read more

Throughout the whole process, Ryan and his team have been very transparent and helpful. Purchasing a house is very stressful but they have provided wonderful help and guidance during each step. This has allowed me to prepare for the move and the next steps in home owning. Ryan the the team was able to stay ahead of each milestone of the purchasing process so that it was as efficient as possible. With being ahead, it provided us a cushion if any problems would arise (which so far nothing has been an issue). I greatly appreciate the help I have received from the group and highly recommend others to use there service and have a wonderful experience like I did! read more

It has been two months since our move and this review is long overdue! The selling and buying of a house is one of the most stressful and financially challenging ordeals particularly in this economic climate. And to add to it all, there are so many real estate businesses- how do you know who will represent your needs with enthusiasm, professionalism and business expertise? After interviewing several real estate representatives (some recommended and some who were considered successful in the community) our choice, The Dalzell Group stood well above their peers. The combination of 19 years experience in the Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe and Carmel Valley areas combined with their use of up-to-date marketing and social media technologies was the edge which gave us the confidence our property would be well represented on all fronts. We worked specifically with Ryan Dalzell who put in a great deal of effort and time to fully understand our needs relative to selling our home of 12 years and understanding what criteria we wanted in a new home. What was most impressive about his sales attributes was the fact he really listened to us, partnered with us and gave us the appropriate guidance and advice throughout the sales and purchase processes. He was diligent in keeping us informed on the fluctuating market conditions, open house feedback and followed up on all potential interests in our property while all along staying focused on the objectives we wanted to accomplish. Ryan maintained a positive outlook, coached us through our part of the buying and selling process and was a master at negotiations on our behalf. His strengths and the overall support of the Dalzell Group left us feeling we had made a great decision to have them represent us with this challenging passage. Professionalism, confidence, peace of mind, market knowledge and putting the client first... that is what The Dalzell Group means to me. read more

This is a great company with exceptional agents. I have worked with the Dalzell group for years and highly recommend them. I have found both Ryan and Kevin to be very knowledgeable of the market and very good at customer service. read more

Ryan helped us sell our condo and buy a home, and we couldn't be happier with him or the Dalzell Group! For starters, we saw Ryan in action when his clients were interested in buying our condo. Even though his clients ultimately decided that they couldn't afford our condo, we asked Ryan to work with us because we were blown away by his knowledge, sincerity, and demeanor. From the beginning, Ryan never showed us a home that didn't meet every single item on our list of "must-have" criteria. Once we decided to see place, he would do his homework by visiting it himself first so that he could answer all our questions when we were seeing it. On a few occasions, he gave us honest information about a prospective despite knowing that it would mean we would not buy the place because he was more interested in finding us a home that we loved instead of making a quick deal. We worked together for several months, during which time Ryan was extremely diligent, unfailingly polite, always punctual, very responsive, and accessible 24-7. When we found a home that we loved, Ryan was savvy in putting together an attractive offer that beat out three other offers, and helped us negotiate a fair deal. While we were in escrow on our purchase, Ryan and the Dalzell Group went to work in selling our condo. They efficiently took photographs, marketed our condo, and had us considering a few decent offers after only a few open houses. We ultimately sold our condo in the middle of our range, and at a profit that we could not make at today's prices. We recommend Ryan unreservedly, and intend to use him and the Dalzell for our real estate needs as and when necessary in the future. read more
