Ryan Breeden is a tremendous real estate agent. During this crazy hot market, he was able to find what we wanted in a home that was within our budget. No small feat! Ryan represented our interests well and we would certainly go back to him in the future. If youre looking to buy or sell a home, Ryan is the agent you want. He is knowledgeable, fair, and a great negotiator with the other party when necessary. Hire him. You wont be disappointed!
Ryan was recommended to us and he did not disappoint! We used his services to sell 2 homes and buy 1 and it was an absolute pleasure to work with him. He was very helpful and informative and made our experience easy. He has a good balance of being aggressive when needed and also casual enough to make us feel relaxed during a stressful time. The knowledge he has made our decision making a lot less stressful and I could not recommend him enough!
Ryan made the home buying process very easy and I even learned a lot along the way from him. Very punctual and very easy to reach when I had questions at any time of the day. He’s everything you would want or need in a realtor. Would recommend Ryan to anyone. Can’t say enough about him!
Ryan helped us buy our first home in July of 2020. Ryans extensive experience and expertise helped us navigate a real estate market that was greatly impacted by COVID and the early stages of the booming real estate market that has only gotten more competitive since. I called Ryan when we were ready to begin working with an agent based on so many stellar reviews from various real estate websites. He not only called me back within a couple of hours, he was showing us homes almost immediately. He took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for in a home. COVID had already impacted inventory and Ryan always tried his best to schedule a showing as soon as we were available. While we werent able to view every house before it sold, we had the chance to view many. At every showing Ryan let us lead, but was always looking out for a sound house (newer hot water heater and HVAC, avoiding houses that appeared to have water issues, etc.) which made us feel more confident in our decisions. Our second offer was accepted and Ryan and his transaction coordinator, Randi, worked with us every step of the way. The selling agent was very difficult to deal with and Ryan was excellent in navigating the issues and put in a great deal of time making extra phone calls to make sure everything worked out well for us. At tax time several months after closing, Ryan and his team even reached out to make sure we had some of the necessary documentation. If we decide to sell somewhere down the road Ryan will be the first person we call.
Ryan is an excellent agent! He was poised, honest and extremely helpful throughout both the buying and selling process. His depth of experience was an asset to us in nearly every decision-making situation that we faced. He also went above and beyond for us during an extremely challenging situation as our house went on the market the day of the COVID-19 shutdown.I dont think our experience could have gone any more smoothly.
After a bad experience with the first realtor who listed my house, I terminated the listing and got one who was much nicer and smarter - Ryan Breeden.When I met Ryan I was impressed with how well he picked up on the good points of my house and how clearly he outlined strategies for dealing with the negatives.I felt that I had someone on my team. He was very patient and answered my smallest question promptly and carefully. He was also very cut and dried in pointing out some things I had to finish to sell. And he could explain in dollar terms what the possible advantage of doing these things might be. With his knowledge of the local market we chose the price carefully.Ryan was also very creative when it came to making changes that gave a big bang for the buck. He suggested a modest construction change that altered the layout to give a small dining room, with the kitchen looking into a family room. This was much more to the liking of the majority of the buyers. As a result, we soon had an interested buyer.Thanks to Ryans diligence, creativity and skill, my house proceeded to contract without a hitch. As issues with the inspection came up, he advised me on the best course of action and kept my priorities in focus. If you want someone whom you can rely on totally to get you through the sale and negotiate your best deal, you should choose Ryan. I will certainly go to him again for my next real estate purchase.
Words dont do enough to express my sincere gratitude to this exceptional leader. I knew the group by name as they seem to sell every house in our area but a friend of mine strongly recommended him so we reached out and from the first meeting with Ryan- we were sold ( and this is after interviewing several top firms in the area). As first time sellers who had to work under an extremely tight deadline (moving out of state)--he always made my husband and I feel like we were their sole clients! Our house went under contract quickly and fromcontract to close they communicated every aspect of the process. Ryan is impeccably talented, knowledgeable, empathetic and expert Negotiator. Whether your a first time buyer or seller or seasoned real estate maverick I urge you to work with Ryan Breeden.
This summer, Ryan assisted with the sale of my home. He was very knowledgeable of the process and gave us great tips to get the house ready for sale. Communication is very important to me and Ryan always kept me informed of updates during the process. He uses an app for scheduling of showings which helped me to know when showings were, and what feedback was given. That was a great thing! He helped us to list the house at a realistic price and we had an offer on the house (full price) within a few days of the listing going live! I would definitely highly recommend Ryan!
Simply put, Ryan is an excellent agent! He represented us when we purchased our new home and when we sold our former home. My husband and I were very picky home buyers, and Ryan never grew impatient with us. He made time for us to view competitive homes as soon as they hit the market, and while touring houses, Ryan made sure that we paid attention to important details. Perhaps most importantly, he never rushed us! When we found the house of our dreams, Ryan kept us ahead of the competition--and the competition was steep. When we sold our former home, Ryan was spot-on about the list price and staging details. Our selling process was quick and smooth, thanks to Ryan. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell!
Ryan was my realtor for when I bought my first home. He was extremely helpful in navigating my wife and I through the whole process. He really helped narrow down our top wants and needs for our new home and always had an insightful piece of advice to share.Ryan definitely went above and beyond the call of duty when it came to getting us responses at any time of day and assisting with inspections. He is very knowledgeable of real estate values in the area, common pitfalls and how to deal with the multitude of inspectors, agents and brokers we encountered. When it comes to customer service, he is the best Ive met bar none. I strongly recommend him to anyone I know who is looking to buy or sell a home.
Ryan was a pleasure to work with. I chose Ryan based on his experience and all of the great reviews he has received in the past. His dedication and productivity were the reasons why finding a home was less stressful. He was so helpful on answering our questions and guiding us to make the right decisions. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a house. His work ethics was impeccable and he was a true professional.
My husband and I highly recommend Ryan Breeden with Long and Foster (as seen on Angies list with award!) We have worked with him for over 6 years now, both buying and selling in the area. He was born and raised in the area, having lived all over Maryland with family all over too. Being so familiar with Maryland he offers a perspective that neither my husband or I have experienced at prior duty stations. Ryan is honest, reliable, flexible and easy to work with. Hes gone out of his way countless times to make our home buying/selling process go smooth. Hes also researched and helped us (and family) find agents for buying/selling homes in other states. All of these are just the tip of the iceberg in the ways he has helped us - simply stated we HIGHLY recommend Ryan for all your home buying/selling needs!
Working with Ryan was an absolute pleasure and in my case made what could have been a real headache a breeze. I needed to sell a family condo from out of state as well as renovate the unit prior to the sale and Ryan was more than on top of it. From helping me work with the condo association as well as the local general contractor he made the entire process from start to finish seamless. When it came time to negotiating the sale, Ryan truly has his finger on the pulse of the market and closed the deal without a single issue. I would highly recommend Ryan Breeden to anyone in area looking to sell their property.
Not only did we get an absolute steal on our house, but we got a steal on our real estate agent Ryan Breeden. Ryans attention to detail, sense of urgency and his commitment to get us the best deal was over the top. Buying a house is a significant investment and its absolutely imperative that you have someone like Ryan that can level set with you on the realities when purchasing a home. Also, it was great to have someone on your side that is fighting for you to maximize every detail to your advantage so that youre getting the absolute best deal you can get. His experience in the real estate market really showed and we will definitely use him again if we ever have to buy a house.
Ryan Breeden is the most amazing real estate agent I have ever met. He vastly exceeded my expectations and went far above and beyond any measure of professional performance to sell my house. I had a special case; my mother passed away and I became the owner of her house. Unfortunately, the house required a lot of work and I needed a strong agent to guide me in the sale process. It was already a difficult time for my family, and we were facing a huge challenge trying to sell the house. This challenge was further exacerbated by the fact I lived over 1000 miles away and had my own family and job to worry about. Fortunately, I found Ryan. He made great recommendations on what to repair and update, and he also had a ready rolodex with outstanding contractors that I hired to do the work. He was always accessible and got back to me quickly throughout the entire process and constantly checked up on the contractors’ work. For example, when we found major structural issues, he calmly jumped in and found structural engineers to remedy what I thought was going to be a huge investment. Thankfully, with his help, it was manageable, and the work went quickly. Honestly, he acted as talented general contractor throughout the process and that was a tremendous relief. At times, it felt like I would never get to the point where we could put the house on the market, but every time we had a problem Ryan had a good answer and strategy. In addition, his office support made the paperwork easy and they were always ready to help. When we wrapped up the repairs and clean-up and it was ready for sale, Ryan again was outstanding. He made a great recommendation on the selling price and we had 11 offers within the first two days. In the end, we sold the house for $25,000 over asking and $115,000 over the original “as is” value three days after putting it on the market. I could not have been happier with the process, Ryan Breeden’s performance from start to finish was exceptional in every way. He is unbelievably easy to work with, his background and knowledge in the building industry were a game changer, and the results were fantastic. Thank you!
Our experience with Ryan has been nothing short of amazing. We sold our old home and bought a new one with Ryan. The most important thing for us in this process was honesty and an agent who represents us and thinks the best for us. When we draft a list of homes to see, Ryan would do his home work and give us his honest feedback based on needs and wants, which helped us a lot to narrow down our options or select the right home to make an offer. Ryan is extremely approachable and will respond to your questions and doubts as soon as he gets an opportunity to do so be it day or night. We would highly recommend Ryan to any buyer or seller who wants an honest and a fun exprience.
Being a first time home buyer my husband and I were a little intimidated when entering into house hunting. We were very blessed to work with Ryan as our realtor as he is easy to talk to definitely knows his stuff! He took time to explain the entire process, listened to all of our wants and needs, and pointed us in the right direction. We really appreciated Ryan’s honesty throughout the process and felt at ease since we always knew he had our best interest in mind. Not to mention that Ryan got us the best deal on our sized town home that year! We would definitely recommend Ryan to our friends and family and already have!
“Having purchased 6 homes over the past 25 years, we can easily say that Ryan is the best real estate agent we’ve ever worked with. He was professional, highly knowledgable, prompt, very responsive, always available, energetic, optimistic, a good listener, and fun to work with. As with any real estate transaction, unexpected challenges surface along the way. When faced with such challenges, Ryan dealt with each of them calmly, confidently, and always with a pleasant demeanor. There was never a moment when Ryan didn’t have a good plan to move forward. He understood what we were looking for in a home/community/school system and targeted his search to identify the right opportunities. When a promising property emerged, Ryan knew about it immediately (and sometimes in advance) thereby giving us an edge in the “seller’s” market we faced. His experience showed having an excellent command of real estate transaction mechanics, great understanding of negotiation tactics and local nuances, an extensive understanding of competitors, and expansive “rolodex” of service providers. We have no hesitation is recommending Ryan to anyone seeking a real estate agent.”
I lucked out and was assigned Ryan as my realtor after submitting a web form online. Ive now used him to buy 2 homes and sell a home and I couldnt recommend him more!Ive seen friends have little success with many Realtors and decide that theyre unnecessary or no different from one another. Ryan is proof that this isnt true.When buying he has a knack for getting to the meat of what you need and what youre willing to compromise on. He has a good feel for when youre motivated to house hunt and when youre feeling frustrated because what youre looking for hasnt hit the market yet. He doesnt push when you need to take a step back, and doesnt hesitate to devote full energy to the hunt when youre determined.Hes very knowledgeable on home updates, maintenance needs, pricing, and red flags. He went above and beyond with research on any question I asked him by answering the question and also doing the research to answer any tangentially related questions I didnt think to ask yet.As a sellers agent, his work ethic is no different. Hes happy to see your home early and give tips for staging and preparing the house to sell so that its perfectly situated to sell quickly once its on the market. He has a good grasp of the sellers budget to prepare the house and doesnt expect miracles out of the seller.All of the above contributes to a smooth buying and selling experience, but where Ryan really excels is in negotiations. He does thorough research to find the fair market value of a house, and he encourages buyers to push for a better price. He knows the contract inside and out and never lets something slip, and knows when to stay quiet and when to push back. When we sold we sold within 5k of list price. When we bought we were able to buy for 20k under list price (which Ryan believed was fair market value). He encouraged us to keep negotiating and fought harder than one could ever hope for to save us money and hassle.Every time Ive worked with him Ive walked away feeling like he earned his commissions and then some. Ive referred him to at least 3 friends who are now just as enthusiastic about Ryan as I am.
We couldnt have been happier with Ryan. He was very knowledable and professional from begining to end. He not only answered questions but told us what to expect which was helpful and comforting.
