My sister and I are completely satisfied with Ryans' assistance in navigating the complex procedure of selling the residence (condo suite ) of our deceased relative. His acknowledgement of our grief (and stress) was sincerely appreciated. We highly recommend this personable professional. - cheri freeman

Very helpful. Ryan showed us listings in all areas we expressed an interest in and provided us with complete information on neighborhoods, homes and communities. Helped us sort out any issues and make an informed decision. - Lynda

Ryan was instrumental in helping us transition to Nanaimo and helped us buy our home and sell our condo as part of our move to Nanaimo. Throughout the process, he provided steady guidance, kept everything moving forward, and made a complex transition feel far more manageable. Ryan brings a strategic and thoughtful approach to real estate, paired with a strong understanding of the market and a practical mindset. I would confidently recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and supportive professional to guide them through a purchase or sale. - Brent and Andrea

Great working with Ryan throughout the whole process. Very professional, Knowledgeable and quick. This is the 2nd time we've used Ryan and nothing short from our 1st time around. - Jordan Parhar

We have used Ryan first selling our 6 acre farm in Yellow point, then buying a home in Nanaimo in College Heights, then selling that home and buying our current home in North Nanaimo. Ryan has always been very professional, flexible and has shown authentic concern for our outcome and the complete process. We would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of buying or selling their home. He always went the extra mile to get the best results. I don't like moving but if we ever have to again we would use him again in a heartbeat. Great job Ryan! Thanks again! - Stu

Ryan is a pleasure to work with. He showed us the properties that we were interested in right away and guided us through the whole procedure. He is knowledgeable and helpful. - Pearl Klassen

Ryan is truly a professional. He is knowledgeable and extremely helpful. He is very responsive to any question or requests and happy to show many properties to allow a client to choose the best option. Due to his quick action when a new desirable listing came available, we were able to purchase it quickly. When a difficult family situation arose he went well above the line of duty to ensure that the sale went through as planned. He coordinated and assisted with the required additional paper work needed to make deadlines and even helped move items to the new place. He is very pleasant to deal with and always follows through with required actions in a very timely manner. I highly recommend his services. - Christine Campbell

I’ve worked with Ryan to buy 3 properties - a condo, a townhouse, and a home as well as selling two properties with him. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and has a great eye for pointing out details, whether it was a potential issue with a property or a feature that added real value. His insights helped me make well-informed decisions every step of the way. What I appreciate most is his patience, I never felt rushed or pressured. He truly has your best interests and makes the entire process smooth and stress-free. I recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell! - Cassie Pleasance

Ryan is very personable, helpful, and professional! He was quick to answer my questions or concerns. He is proactive, and has great communication skills. I definitely recommend him for family and friends! - Brenda Jamison

Over asking price and quick sale!! I must recommend Ryan as the best agent in the nanaimo region. He and Sandra were very professional and helpful. Having bought and sold many properties we've never felt so comfortable with the whole sales process. 5 stars all round! - Chris Cheshire

I have purchased two homes through Ryan—one in 2020 and another in 2024. Throughout both experiences, Ryan was consistently responsive and patient, even during periods of frequent showings that didn’t lead to a purchase. There was a time when I asked him to draft an offer, but after sleeping on it, I decided not to move forward. I never felt pressured by him, which I truly appreciated. Whenever I sought his opinion, he provided honest and thoughtful insights, whether positive or negative. His knowledge and expertise go beyond what I expected from a realtor—he thinks of details I wouldn’t have even considered. I’ve always found that he goes above and beyond, which is why when it came time for my second home purchase, choosing Ryan again was an easy and obvious decision. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated realtor who is more concerned about getting you into a house you love than about making a sale-- I highly recommend Ryan! - Kasandra Darwin

Ryan is incredibly knowledgeable in the local real estate market. He can spot important features of a property in a short walkthrough, and offer valuable insights into finding the right property that will work for any buyer. I would recommend Ryan to anyone looking to buy, upgrade or sell! - Lucas Oliva

Working with Ryan is fantastic, he is professional, Knowledagble and a genuinely great person with the utmost integrity and honesty. If you are looking for someone you can trust and who really listens to what you are after then this is the person who we would highly recommend. - Gary Spencer-Smith
