    If you want a real estate agent who will take care of you like your best friend, then Ryan is your man. His market timing was perfect. He did an amazing job photographing our property. Ryan provided the comparables and information for us to select a price. He recommended what to do inside the house for the best presentation. He listed the house and got multiple offers the next day. Ryan kept us calm during the negotiations when the buyer’s agent did his job, for his clients, by trying to get credit for anything that wasn’t perfect in the house, after the initial offer. Thirty one days, from the listing to the closing. What more could we want? Well let me tell you. He sold the house for $15,000.00 more than we listed it for. I can’t express how happy I am with my decision to sell with Ryan. He was flawless!

    This is the second transaction I’ve happily and successfully executed with Ryan, most recently I sold my home with Ryan Benson during the COVID-19 pandemic and to my surprise...he was still able to get my full asking price! He is a tough negotiator, and after this second transaction..he will be the only person I’ll call for my next purchase.

    Ryan did a great job advocating for me with my home purchase in Atascadero. He's very on top of his communication and was quick to let me know if I needed to do something to keep the process moving. Two months in I feel like we paid the right price and I haven't found a lot of surprises that would make me feel otherwise. Ryan knows how to negotiate and really made a difference when it came to getting the best deal possible.
