Ryan Newman

"Ryan came recommended from a friend we trust. He had helped them with several home transactions over the years. Ryan helped us purchase a home, our first. He was patient and informative with all the questions we had, which were many. He walked us through the process as each step came up, being especially helpful with the mountains of paperwork that come with home buying. He's clearly very, very knowledgeable about home transactions. On site, he was honest with his options about the houses we looked at, no matter how much we liked it. If he saw a red flag or a concern, he voiced it, and gave us a realistic view of the costs or trouble it might cause. He was also realistic with our goals and our budget. He was personable and it never felt like it was a chore for him to walk through the many houses we looked at. He's responsive with emails and texts; we never felt abandoned or "squeezed in." It was a great experience. While we plan on staying in our new house for some time, I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again and look forward to seeing him at the housewarming party. "

"Ryan is da bomb. Helped us nail a difficult purchase in a white hot Seattle market. We had an out of area home to sell, and had been outbid on several less desirable properties with another agent. Finally we got lucky when a friend referred us to Ryan. His advice was key to securing our purchase before it even showed. Even better, he put us in touch with a great designer to help with our remodel after the initial architect we hired fell through. He's personable, professional, responsive, and I have recommended him to all our friends and new hires." 

​"​Ryan has helped us purchase two homes in the last 3 years. There's a reason why we went back to him the second time! Since we were unexpectedly wanting to put an offer on a home found on Redfin, we considered using the Redfin agent on the listing. After talking with him, we knew right away we had to work with Ryan; and glad we did because we got the home in this tough market due to his expertise! He knows our family, our needs, and our preferences so much that he has viewed homes without us and was spot-on on the reasons why we would like it or not like it. Shows how well he listens and strives to understand us. There was a third home we were under contract in, which by our choice we backed out of. He successfully got us out of that contract and got us our earnest money back. He can get you into a home and get you out of one- there's nothing he can't do! In this tough market, where understandably many are putting in multiple offers and are being outbid, we have put in 4 offers over 3 years and have successfully won 3 of them. That is a combination of Ryan finding the right house for us, successfully negotiating for us, knowing the local market, and packaging the right offer for us so that we're attractive buyers. Buying a home can be stressful but has been very enjoyable because of Ryan. Can't recommend him enough!"
