Ryan was our real estate agent for the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home. I have to say that going into this process I wondered what exactly real estate agents did that I couldn't do. I found out very quickly this way of thinking was naive. In a depressed market, where we were seeing housing prices drop by thousands of dollars, Ryan sold our home for $1800 less than asking in two months of our list date. This fact alone was impressive.
On the sale end, he went above and beyond. The purchase of our new home was quite the ordeal and unique in many ways. Pre-offer, we were facing challenges with regard to the condition of the house. Ryan pulled all the comparables, and considered the cost of getting the home to a liveable condition. He made sure he went into the offer stage educated and prepared. Ryan recommended a wonderful home inspector who ended up finding more issues, of which we had very little knowledge of. At this time it was back to the drawing board. Ryan took the time to educate himself on the issues brought to light in the home inspection, and worked on a negotiation strategy that ended up in a further decrease of $30,000 off the purchase price. I would recommend Ryan to anyone. His strong interpersonal skills, genuine nature and market knowledge make him a top-notch realtor. Ryan will make sure his clients are taken care of, regardless of the cost. read more
