Ryan Breeden

When I had a short time frame to move and had to sell my house quickly during the summer of 2015 Ryan was an easy choice to be my realtor. He was confident, knew the market and marketing techniques as well as the population to target for my particular style of house. He priced my house much higher than another realtor I interviewed who seemed to think it would take months to sell. Yet with Ryan my house was under contract less than 48 hours on the market for the asking price. Throughout the home inspection process Ryan kept me updated and had contractors follow up to ensure negotiations were fair. Ryan is easy to work with, a good listener, is respectful, responds promptly to emails and texts and was so patient when explaining concepts I had no clue about, for example, electrical systems. I highly recommend him!

When we decided to sell our home in 2014, my husband and I interviewed 5 agents and went with Ryan partly because he charged a lower commission, and partly because he thought he could get us a better price than the other agents. And he delivered — we ended up with multiple offers to buy at a price that was 10%+ higher than even the most optimistic figure from the other agents. Wow! He also met with the appraiser to make a strong case for the property appraising at that value. When the buyer’s financing hit a rather serious snag, Ryan kept close tabs on the situation and gave us daily and sometimes hourly updates. It got pretty hellish at some points (due to the other agent, broker, and lender), but he made it as easy as possible and really made me appreciate the fact that we had a star player on our side.
For the purchase, he was extraordinarily patient with our long and evolving list of must-​haves and nitpicks and showed great judgment in the types of properties he showed us. He was flexible about meeting us for showings and pointed out all kinds of things that we would never have noticed about the properties we toured. In the end, we decided to make an offer on a house we saw early in the search. It had about 95% of what we wanted, and as a courtesy, Ryan was able to get us estimates for some of the upgrades we wanted to make. (He has a background as a contractor and knew the approximate costs and work involved for various kinds of repairs or upgrades, which was quite useful as we toured houses and imagined what we would need to do.) He’s an expert negotiator and helped us get the final price down by about $ 30,000(!) When the seller and her agent caused another last-​minute snag, he gave us good advice for handling the situation and kept the pressure on the seller/​agent to rectify the problems they had caused. He kept working and updating us even when away on vacation or otherwise traveling.
In short, you are making a huge mistake if you don’t hire Ryan for your house sale or purchase. There are many bad agents out there, so it’s worthwhile to do your research and hire the very best. Ryan is hard-​working, flexible, professional, knows the business inside and out… you can’t go wrong!
