I first met Ryan when we were selling our home. My first impression was that he not only had done his homework about my home, but that he truly understood our family and wanted to sell it for us. When the deal was done, and I had now spent more time with Ryan, there was no doubt that he was the one that was going to find us our new home. Our move was quite emotional and so finding a house to meet our needs was not easy. Ryan listened, observed-got to know each of my kids-their likes and dislikes, as well as mine and my husband. After looking at many homes, he took an inventory for me when I was mostly overwhelmed. We sat down and made a list of what he had observed-what I was drawn to, what I absolutely hated-how big a home we really needed the space he took into account our lives. When we walked into the last house we looked at one another-he knew and I knew. This was my family’s new home. I had to have that house and Ryan was going to make sure we got it. There were 4 other offers. I have no doubt that Ryan’s amazing personality, knowledge, and integrity sealed the deal for us. He truly cared. When he met me at the driveway to give me the keys I really feel he was as happy for us as I was. I not only got a house, but my family also got a new friend.
