We met Sean over 13 years ago when selling one of our first businesses - With his 'can do' attitude, warmth and experience he quickly became an extension of our family. Sean has been our go to person ever since; recommending to friends and family alike - they have all had very positive experiences. After moving to the East Coast we made the tough decision to sell a home we had for nearly twenty years --- Sean was the only one we would trust to such an emotional and important step in our lives. It only seemed right that he be part of the closure of our PNW journey. Sean, even from afar, made us feel comfortable and in good hands - just as we suspected he would. I would highly recommend Sean for selling your current home or helping you to find your next. Best Always, the Prendergast Family

We appreciate what Sean did to help us get into our dream home. He provided great advice on all the different areas in the region, and educated us on what to look out for when buying a home in the Pacific Northwest (we relocated from Texas). Everything worked out great and we are truly glad we chose Sean and his team as our realty company.

Sean Ryan and his team are truly second to none when it comes to any real estate needs! When my wife and I were shopping for our first house, we had a tough time finding an agent who really seemed to care about us and our vision. Through a referral we decided to give Sean a call. He was showing us houses by that afternoon and we were homeowners before we knew it. Within a few years we outgrew the first house, and we had no doubt Sean was the guy to help us upgrade. He's never pushed us towards something we didn't want to do, but has always been informative. Sean kept our stress at a minimum and took care of everything needed in order to sell... Prep walk-through's, multiple market analysis, insight/advise on improvements, photos, list timing and whatever else that took place behind the scenes. Meanwhile he was also helping us find our 'next home'. In almost no time we accepted a buyers offer and had our own offer accepted on the future house. Today we are closing on both! It was absolutely a team effort, and that's one of the things we appreciate most about our agent! Not only are they experienced, trustworthy, reliable and personable, but the entire team has been there for us every step of the way. Sean goes above and beyond for us, but even the times when he's unavailable in a moment's notice, we never have to worry. Everyone contributed at critical times for us. We'd like to thank Lisa Tipton for her work behind the scenes and for being available to meet us at random hours. We'd like to thank Staci Ryan for being a HUGE part of getting our offer accepted. To the rest of the Ryan family for putting your night's on hold for our last minute inspections! And last but not least a special thank you to Sean Ryan for putting in all the work for us over time. We appreciate it! Five stars!

This was my second time working with Sean, and he didn't disappoint. Despite working with an out of town seller and an uncooperative tenant, Sean made the buying process easy. His communications skills are top notch, he knows the market, and he's very pleasant to work with. I'd say I'll use him again, but I'm pretty sure we found our forever home. Thanks Sean!

We were moving from Newberg, OR up to Bellingham gor work and needed to purchase a house. We contacted Sean and he got work right away finding us some where to live. He made the house buying process smooth and with very little stress. He was always available by phone or email if we ever had questions or concerns. Sean and his team made us feel important and not just a number.

Sean was exceptional! We purchased a home from out of state. When we came to visit he showed us a handful of homes that met our criteria. He really learned what we were looking for. After sending us numerous listings we had him view a home on our behalf. His input and industry knowledge were impressive. The purchase process was smooth and easy. We found the perfect home for our growing family. Highly recommend Sean!

Sean was ready to answer questions and take action through every step of our process. He made it fast and easy to get in to look at homes. Sean was very diligent about going to bat for us during the offer process and made sure we were making the most competitive offer we could. Sean was there for us not only as a realtor, but as a supporter. He joined us on signing day at the title office, and brought us little tokens like packing boxes that made our life just a little bit easier.

Sean Ryan recently handled the sale of our home in Maple Falls, Washington. He was incredibly helpful in selling our home "long distance", as we had already moved across the country. Sean handled all the details of selling our home, and calmly handled every obstacle that arose. I would recommend Sean to anyone who wants to buy or sell a home.

Sean did an amazing job selling my condo this month. Not only did he price it well for this market, but I got a full price offer on day one. Sean made, what can be a stressful time with selling a property, a easy seamless endeavor. I highly recommend Sean and his team for any of your real estate needs!

Sean is such an awesome realator. From start to finish, no details missed. He checked in with us with each step, every choice and took care of everything. He made the process as stress free as possible and really got us exactly what we wanted. We couldn't be happier with our home and he was a huge part of making that happen. I would recommend him to anyone buying in the Washington area. If we ever buy again, we will definitely be using him for help!

I would not hesitate to recommend Sean Ryan and his team for ANY real estate transaction. We have worked with him on both buying and selling and have found him to be highly professional, timely and very accommodating. Never once did he pressure or rush us. He never attempted to sway us one way or the other but listened to us and made suggestions. In fact he was honest with us if he felt a home did not match our needs. Sean is an awesome real estaate agent and a really great guy. It hs been a real pleasure to work with him and his entire team. They use the latest marketing and advances in technology and social media to go all out when marketing your home or finding your new one.
