Client Testimonials

★★★★★
“Stafford is a committed and insightful agent who will work hard for your goals. Highly professional in his dealings with us as clients, even under difficult circumstances imposed by unexpected events (sellers pulled out at the end of escrow). Always available for consulting, and ready with the best possible options. Best agent I have dealt with over the course of 30 years and 5 house purchases. We will continue to search for a home with him.“ - E. Ruby

★★★★★
“Ryan Stafford helped us recently buy our house in Elfin Forest. The whole purchase, negotiation, inspection and loan purchase is really tiresome and stressful however Ryan did an excellent job in explaining and helping us with each stage of the purchase. He booked all the inspections, checked all documents and really helped us from day 1 until closure of escrow. His smile was there to greet us at every step of the way. I would highly recommend him to any prospective buyer or seller. His honesty and integrity is just what is needed in otherwise tough and scary process.“ - Grant

★★★★★
“Ryan not only found an emergency rental for our family when toxic molds forced us to move from a home we were renting, he also took pains to make buying our first home in the US an easy to understand process. Having lived in Japan for 25 years, we were not versed on how the escrow process works. Ryan walked us through every step of the way, instilling confidence and answering every question in detail. Ryan took the time to get to know us, our lifestyle, hobbies, values and preferences; by the end of our working relationship, virtually every home he showed us for potential purchase was a very good match. In the end, he found "the one", we purchased it and we couldn't be happier. His thorough knowledge of the real estate market in Del Mar, Solana Beach, Cardiff and Rancho Santa Fe made home shopping easy for us. Ryan even went out of his way to introduce personal friends and associates who eventually helped us: solar panel installations, building contractor for future remodel and more! I could not recommend Ryan more. He is a man of integrity who not only excels at his job, but truly derives satisfaction in providing the utmost in service and attention to detail to his clients.“ - Cathy Iwane
