Ryan Palardy

Ryan is dependable, knowledgeable, and a thoughtful agent. From our first tour with Ryan, we quickly learned his thorough understanding of the market and how he balances that with our expectations. When we liked a home, Ryan took the time to challenge us about it and really consult us, rather than sell us on homes just to make the deal. When someone has your best interest at heart, they work as said partner and consultant. This is an indicator they are committed to finding the right solution for you - and that is exactly Ryan. When it came to making offers, Ryan spent hours with us making sure the offer was not only set up to "win the home" but fit our budget realistically. Ryan was budget conscious with us and attuned to preventing hasty decisions. We are fortunate to have found our dream home with Ryan and could not be happier. Ryan is someone I trust and recommend to friends and family looking for homes. Thank you, Ryan! - Stephanie

Ryan Palardy and the Get Happy at Home Team are the best real estate agents in Seattle. TL;DR: As my buyer’s agent, Ryan helped me buy my first Seattle home in 2025 for $50,000 under list price on offer review day—and guided me through inspections, negotiation, and post-closing projects with total confidence. Ryan & team helped me purchase my first ever home in 2025 for $50,000 under list price on offer review day. After searching all over Seattle—from West Seattle, to Queen Anne, to Ballard—I fell in love with a beautiful water view home in North Beach (Olympic Manor), north of Ballard. I couldn't be happier with my 1950's mid-century rambler. Ryan guided me carefully throughout the process. He helped me understand the pros and cons of different Seattle neighborhoods and home types. When touring, he was quick to point out potential challenges with each home, including structural and maintenance concerns that I never would have noticed on my own. His knowledge of the Seattle real estate market is unmatched—for every house, he was able to accurately predict the level of buyer interest it would have and the price it would sell for. It was uncanny! He steered me away from many homes that looked beautiful but, in truth, wouldn't have fit my needs in the long run. When I did settle on a home, he was sure to get an expert home inspection right away, before I wrote my offer. Because of this, I was able to go into the offer process eyes wide open and waive my inspection contingency. Ryan deftly read the situation on offer review day. After surmising that the home may have been priced too aggressively to receive multiple offers, Ryan convinced me to take a chance and write an offer below list price. He somehow intuited that the sellers would be willing to negotiate due to their specific circumstances and why they were selling. Well, it worked! I got my home for $50,000 under list price even though it had been on the market only 5 days. Quick notes: Ryan was also able to put me in touch with a fabulous local lender who handled some financing complications with ease and grace. We ended up with a great interest rate and felt truly taken care of throughout the process. Ryan's knowledge of construction matters and access to the Get Happy at Home Contracting team allowed me to make smart decisions about home fixes and updates after closing. My experience with the Get Happy at Home Team is that they are honest, skilled, and just genuinely fun to be around. I wouldn't suggest anyone else to work with as a home buyer in the Seattle area! - TS
