Ryan was knowledgeable, responsive, and always kept us informed every step of the way. We felt confident knowing our home sale was in such capable hands. I would use his services again in the future on the next house I sell. I also got to meet Hero his dog, which was absolutely adorable. My house got a lot more than asking because of his hard work and organization. read more

Sold single family home in San Jose in 2026. Mom and Dad pass. I assume responsibility of family trust and sale of family home. I live four hundred miles away and have radiation therapy five days a week. So, l meet and choose Ryan Nickell's as my realtor. Ryan talks me through every step of house sale from options, costs, remodeling, inspections, documentations, bids and closing. Our home, once remodeled, goes on the market and sells for a value added two hundred thousand more than asking price within a week...ALL thanks to RYAN. read more

Purchased a home with Ryan. He is the key reason we were able to successfully purchase our first home! Ryan was responsive and patient during the entire nerve-wracking offer process. He guided us through the offer process, giving us insight into what a seller sees and what constitutes a winning offer, without pressure to overbid. Ryan offered support before, during, and after closing. Highly recommended and would work with him again in the future! read more

Sold a home in Santa Clara with Ryan- incredible service and very happy with the results. Super impressed with his proactive and clear communication, thoughtful strategy, efficiency, and realistic guidance throughout. Look no further! Would absolutely work with again. read more

We recently sold our Santa Clara townhouse with veteran-owned ROI Real Estate. Over the years we've received countless mailers offering real estate services but many are from agents/agencies outside the area. We ended up focusing on 3 or 4 potential agents. There's nothing like meeting an agent in person. When meeting Ryan at one of ROI's open houses in Santa Clara we sat down and dove into a very comfortable & informative conversation and later left thinking that this guy might be the one! After a second round of meetings where Ryan did a walk-through of our place noting things that, if tweaked, would bring a greater ROI (return on investment) we said "no thank you" to the other agents and "yes" to Ryan. His team helped put together a living timeline of how things would go from the day we gave him the keys to the day that escrow closed. There are always challenges to every real estate purchase or sale, and even more in the current rollercoaster economy, but luckily Ryan's communication and his team's attention to detail kept us in the loop at all times. Highly recommended! read more

I worked with Ryan recently to sell my San Jose house and it was the best experience I have ever had!! I have bought and sold many homes and condos, and Ryan and his team were the best I have ever worked with. His marketing was incredible!! My house was listed on "Hot Homes" and sold within two weeks with multiple offers and he negotiated with the buyers to get me a higher sales price. Amazing!!! The deal closed in 22 days with a strong buyer!! A new record for me. I wish I could use him for ALL of my real estate transactions. Look nowhere else, he is the best!! I HIGHLY recommend Ryan Nickell and his team. read more

Sold my townhouse in Santa Clara with Ryan (picked after noticing he had multiple sales in the vicinity). Great experience all around. Ryan came in and with good ideas for how to fix up the place to maximize the sale, took care of interacting with his go-to contracting firm to have all the little fixes and upgrades taken care of, and had a good strategy for selecting an appropriate price. I ended up with an offer right away after the first open house weekend that, in my case, was acceptably within my asking price in an otherwise soft seller's market. Highly recommended, I don't think you can go wrong with Ryan. read more

From a lender's perspective, working with Ryan Nickell as the buyer's agent was a great experience. He was professional, communicative, and always on top of the details, which made the financing process smooth. His collaborative approach kept everything on track and ensured an on-time closing. read more

Ryan Nickell was outstanding. I was nervous about selling the property. I rented it for the last 8 years and didn't live local anymore. He took care of everything to the point that I didn't even have to visit the property. What could have been difficult and stressful was actually easy. read more

Wow, am I glad I stumbled across Ryan Nickell at an Open House! We were very impressed with how he marketed another property, so we chose him to sell our condo in San Jose. He kept us updated every step of the way so we knew exactly what to expect. Ryan is SUPER responsive, which I appreciated so much! He helped us remodel both bathrooms, and they are STUNNING. This gave us huge ROI, setting a new record with our condo selling well above all others in our complex! There were some worrisome moments with buyers and HOA management not responding as fast as we'd like, but Ryan kept us calm and made sure to keep pushing on all parties, so we closed as fast as possible. I would definitely use Ryan again and absolutely recommend him to all my friends and family selling in San Jose. Thanks a million Ryan, you are THE BEST!!! read more

I met Ryan at a listing that my girlfriend Michelle told me about I recently inherited my grandparents property after my mother passed away last year. I met with Ryan and I talked about what I was looking for and he gave me a lot of information and then we met over at the property and we went over what he thought we should do and I agreed, and the process started with some simple renovations of Updating the kitchen and the bathrooms and doing some landscaping in the backyard and my handyman jumped in and did the painting of the inside, completely changing the color to a brighter color. Ryan kept me appraised to everything that was going on throughout the whole process. Everything was ready to go we staged it took photos. Open house was complete and offers started coming in. It was more than I expected, and he was so wonderful through the whole process I've never sold the property before, so he walked me through everything even the closing And we just sold the property as of 7/18/2025 for 300,000 over the listing I would definitely use Ryan again his knowledge of Santa Clara and his knowledge of selling real estate was perfect for what I was looking for read more

If you are looking for a home in the south bay, look no further than Ryan. It's REAL competitive down here, and Ryan will do whatever it takes to get you into a beautiful home. And it's not necessarily a huge offer that you need. We spent a few months canvassing homes in sunnyvale, and Ryan would give us estimates of how much he expected them to sell for. Oftentimes his estimates were much different from the Zestimate or the Redfin estimate ... and each and every time his estimate WAS MORE ACCURATE. He's very experienced, and is such a fair, honest, and reliable person, that you really need to look no further than him. He always has time for you, and is VERY responsive with texts, calls, emails, etc. We're moving into our new home next week. Can't thank Ryan enough!!! read more

My husband had met Ryan around 2-3 years ago when he was looking for a house. And then his house search fizzled. And right this year when we were looking for houses together, he thought of him. Ryan had left such an impression on him in that 1 meet that 3 years later when we wanted to buy a house, my husband made sure that we connected with him. And before him we did work with few other realtors, but I think Ryan made all the difference for us where we moved from 'did not buy a house' to where we are now to "bought a house". And it was just fantastic working with Ryan. He knew ins and outs of like what to do, what not to do. He had great connections with other realtors. He gave us great advise and strategy for putting the offer. That's what we believe got our offer accepted at that right price point that we wanted. And cherry on top was that the house got an appraisal for much higher than the price we got it for. Ryan's communication, persuasion and expertise made all the difference for sure. We couldn't be happier. read more

Working with Tim Pasken and Ryan Nickell was truly a blessing! After struggling for a year and a half with another realtor, we finally found success with Tim and Ryan. Within just two months, we were able to purchase our dream home. As first-time buyers, we experienced a rollercoaster of emotions and nearly lost hope, but Tim and Ryan consistently uplifted us, even in the face of a challenging market. They were incredibly responsive to our emails, offering detailed insights on properties we were interested in bidding on. Their expertise in the local area and market trends was truly impressive. What makes them such a remarkable team? Ryan Nickell is incredibly sharp and dedicated. Rain or shine, he was always available to show us houses, demonstrating confidence and competence in his work. He provided strategic advice on bidding, guiding us to success with his recommendations. He knew exactly how much to bid, and we completely trusted him and he truly won it for us :) Tim is exceptionally knowledgeable and talented. He kept our hopes high throughout the process, offering honest feedback from R.O.I perspective, held long phone conversations and was quick to responding to our inquiries, even amidst his travel. His commitment to our journey was unwavering. I highly recommend choosing this dynamic duo for your real estate needs--they do make sure to get you the best R.O.I and you won't be disappointed! We wish the very best to the two best realtors in town and look forward to working with them in the future!! read more

Ryan Nickell and Tim Paskel are absolute professionals. They gave us amazing advice when it came to VA loan financing for a home in San Jose, which is incredibly hard to find. The advice we received previously was to move to a conventional loan but these guys showed us that we can take advantage of the lower interest rate and other benefits a VA loan offers and still stay competitive. They connected us to a lender / broker who was just amazing. It always felt like Ryan was one step ahead and things were taken care of. We also had a lot of challenges with the sale of our other home and Ryan basically acted as a sounding board to our questions and helped us through an anxious difficult time of selling and buying a new home. I have already referred friends to these guys. Highly recommend these guys! The high ratings and great reviews are not just hype! read more

If you are in search of a real estate agent in the Bay Area, look no further. Tim & Ryan are the best agents in town. We were first time home buyers and were pretty clueless in the process. Tim & Ryan held our hands and made this journey a stroll in the park. Right from shortlisting homes in the market on a daily basis, visiting open houses after sunset, placing multiple offers, to signing the deed, they were with us every step of the way. In the Bay Area where the market is cut throat, Tim & Ryan helped us navigate the market seamlessly through the different emotional stages and stress of buying a home. There were times when we wanted to submit bids far exceeding asking price when we got quite excited about some properties, however Tim & Ryan advised and helped placate those emotional bursts. And in hindsight, we made the right call. Working with Tim & Ryan was a very smooth and educational experience for us. Their knowledge of the different neighborhoods in and around South Bay, their pros/cons, helped us save a lot of time in sifting through the many houses we were initially interested in. They have been quite patient with us, and were very responsive and helpful for any questions we had, and they still are, even after 2 months. We wish them good luck in their future endeavors and are excited to see their business grow. We are lucky we found Tim & Ryan as our real estate gurus and happy to call them family now. PS: Even when you want to compromise on certain aesthetic aspects or remodeling ideas, they would not let you :-) It is not easy to get a Tim & Ryan stamp of approval for a house; it needs to be earned. They have laudable spatial reasoning skills. They are able to quickly whip up practical and contemporary remodeling idea, and also cater to minimalist designs: you might sometimes wonder if you have hired an interior designer also. read more

We are first time home buyers. Ryan and Tim walked us through all of the home buying process including the areas to target along with the pros and cons, the general market outlook, what to look for in homes. They also were also extremely informative about which home cosmetics could be improved with less effort. I highly rate their eye for renovation and home improvement along with their knowledge of what each home is worth. Each home tour with them was a learning experience. Finally, they prioritized us and our home search spending a lot of time on home tours. All of this helped us find and buy our perfect home! They also helped us set up home improvements with amazing contractors. read more

I became a client of Tim & Ryan after a colleague referred Ryan and his team. They represented my wife and I in buying our first home in California. But I feel like "client" is a misnomer. Make no mistake about it - the real estate market in the SF Bay is tough, ultra competitive and requires current and ever-evolving skill to stay on top of it. Tim & Ryan make it look easy. There is no better way to say it - they just make it look easy. More so - I never felt like I had an "agent". It was like I had a good friend who happened to be a Real Estate Ninja and helped me out. I could go on, but it's simple - you won't find a better Team. Tim & Ryan's abilities and services extend beyond their personal abilities but also to the relationships and vetted network built and extended to my wife and I. A team you can trust without reservation - and if you are looking for a home, also fantastic realtors. We purchased our house almost 2 years ago now, and I still count on Ryan as my go to for anything Renovation, Market or Real Estate insight related. read more

I had a fantastic experience with Tim and Ryan and will strongly recommend them to my friends without a single doubt. They are very easy to communicate with, super responsible, knowledgable, and incredibly helpful. They provided tremendous help throughout my house purchase and remodeling. I met Tim at an open house (thanks to the fate!) and decided to have Tim and Ryan as my agent after the first meeting and a few chats along the way. Tim knows the South Bay area inside out. He can draw out the good neighborhoods right away (even down to the streets); and he can do that because he has a lot of experience and has done a lot of research (such as personally driving through those areas both days and nights). Beyond knowing the area well, they also have a lot of connections with loan agents, listing agents, and other resources. Searching for a house was very tedious and tiring. Tim and Ryan made it much easier for us. They really understood our needs. Every week, they went through the houses that fit our needs (not the automatic program like other agents!) and sent us long text messages or very detailed emails regarding the pros and cons of each house they thought might worth a look. Tim and Ryan really cared about what would be good for us and were not pushy at all. Sometimes they even straightly said that "it is not your house". As we are nothing close to decisive, Tim and Ryan always patiently shared their thoughts and helped us analyze why we should/shouldn't buy the house. We ended up purchasing a fixer upper house. Tim knows a lot of things about remodeling and helped us estimate how much it would cost to redo the bathrooms and kitchen. Also, he was able to find a general contractor to give us a quote even before the purchase so we can factor that into consideration. We had hours of calls and broken down every single line item of what a remodeling would cost and then decided if we should buy the house. This is not something normal agents could offer. Also, Ryan was able to write us a super lovely letter and convince the listing agent to choose us despite that we were not the highest in price. Tim and Ryan provided us a lot of support even after the house purchase. They helped us handle appraisers. They gave us a detailed list of what we should know as a first-time house buyer. They sent us a full list of contractors we could reach out to for different parts of work. Also, they helped use get a quote for replacing reroof, connect with GC, think about layouts, and brainstorm the choice of cabinets, countertops, and vanities. They remembered to text us when there were discounts on windows, faucets, or other things we would need for the remodeling. They even helped us with contractor negotiations when we had difficulties with some of them. They have provided far more help than what agents would do. We sincerely appreciate all the things they have done to us and we cannot thank more. Tim and Ryan are the best agents you can ever find. read more

I could not recommend working with Ryan Nickell enough. He helped us find our home in the incredibly competitive SF Bay Area market in a very short timeline (less than 2 months) and with a level of support that we did not expect at all when we started looking. Throughout the process, despite being our first home purchase, we never felt lost or uncertain, thanks to their constant support. Ryan and Tim met with us initially to give us an overview of the entire process we were looking at, and went above and beyond expectations to answer our questions, describe details and common pitfalls, identify the areas we should look into given our family's priorities. They never took more than a few hours to answer our questions, and were extremely helpful when we sent them some homes we thought were potential options for us. They provided insights we didn't initially think of, and when we found a home that was a real good option for us, guided us in all the nitty gritty of making an offer. We got our first offer accepted, which was a great relief considering the horror stories of up bidding and months of rejections we've heard from others. Ryan didn't stop there, he helped us find a lender that gave us one full percent lower rate than I had found with the 4 other lenders I pre-qualified with, and even put us in touch with contractors for some work we wanted to do on the house, which turned out to be dependable and capable workers. read more

Tim and Ryan are super helpful and professional! They are very familiar with the locations in the bay area and provided a lot of useful information and good advice for us in the process of shopping for our dream house. We worked with a couple of other buyer's agents before Tim and Ryan, and they are the most informational and also easy to work with, so we chose to work with them. It turned out that their pricing strategy also worked out really well. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone we know who's planning to get a new home! read more

Ryan Nickell and Tim Pasken do two things really well: 1. Listen to the client 2. Understand the market Our goal was to sell our rental property as the first step in a 1031 exchange. We wanted a good price, but also wanted to complete the exchange quickly, so we could put our new property into service. Ryan and Tim suggested improvements that could be done quickly and provide good return on investment. It took about 4 weeks to fix up our house sold after two weeks on the market. We ended up spending about $45K and got a 3-for-1 payback. Their skill, judgement, and willingness to listen got us about 10% more money that we could use to buy our new house. read more

To buy a house in the South Bay in these times, you need a something special - that could be in the form of lofty positions at tech firms, or you could just work with Ryan and Tim. I was referred to Ryan and Tim by a colleague of mine, who worked with them for his own house. They describe themselves as people-oriented (Ryan) and ROI-oriented (Tim), and while this is absolutely true, the skills aren't mutually exclusive. Tim and Ryan were super helpful for us in our search of buying a house in the south bay, and helped identify the pros and cons of a house, with possible remodeling changes that could be considered. Both of them were extremely helpful and helped walk us through various processes and issues that we weren't familiar with, being prospective first-time home owners. They also shared some tips on how to make successful offer packages, and thanks to their help, we were able to get our house despite multiple offers, with some of them being full cash offers. In summary, absolutely 5/5 stars for an easy and smooth experience. read more

We worked with Ryan for several months trying to find and purchase our first home. Ryan expertly helped us navigate the difficult process of house hunting even during the pandemic when open houses were not a luxury we had available to us. Ryan is super responsive and jumped through all sorts of hoops to help get us a home we really wanted for a very good price. We will definitely be looking to work with Ryan again in the future, and we will be recommending him to our family and friends. read more

First and foremost, thank you for helping us buy our first home! Tim and Ryan are experts in the real estate business, and I have no reservations recommending them to anyone looking to purchase a home. Tim and Ryan were flexible in scheduling around our busy work schedules to coordinate various meetings from discussing the buying process in-person, to showing us houses outside of open house hours, to conference calls to answer questions as they came up. Tim and Ryan are a wealth of knowledge that made us feel comfortable every step of the way from seeing houses, to understanding loan paperwork, to closing. Their expertise, professionalism and personability are unmatched in this industry. Even after closing, we still maintain contact as they continue to advise us as first time homeowners. They even give us recommendations on leisurely activities around our neighborhood! 5/5 stars, 10/10, A+. Whatever your metric, Tim and Ryan exceeded our expectations and we would not hesitate to recommend them read more

Tim and Ryan are very competent, responsive and professional. They really try to understand your needs and wishes, making the selection personal and not pushing read more

Ryan Nickell will be a fantastic person to have on your side when navigating a tough bay area housing market. We got our offer accepted in a competitive bidding situation and Ryan Nickell made the difference and tipped the scale in our favor. We saw a lovely home in San Jose, CA. It was a beautiful 4 Bed 2 bath single family home with views of mountains from the backyard. The sellers received five competing offers on the third day of their listing. And the sellers picked us! Thanks to Ryan's negotiation skills. We got our offer accepted without raising a penny to our initial offer. Since there were four other competing offers, we could have easily gotten sucked into a bidding war. But Ryan worked his magic and convinced the sellers to pick us :) What separates Ryan from other realtors? 1. Ryan's empathetic nature along with his impeccable communication skills will win over any human being 2. Competency (He is extremely good at what he does. Delivering R.O.I. to his clients seems to be his passion) 3. 'Tim and Ryan' is a 'Realtor- Lawyer' team. So, if you come across any legal hassle during your home purchase, you can rest assured that you are going to get an end to end support If you are a newbie in the bay area market, you can rest assured that Ryan Nickell will have your best interest in mind - You can rely on Ryan Nickell to do the due diligence with the disclosures and provide you with comprehensive analysis and point out red flags if any - You can rely on Ryan Nickell to negotiate on your behalf. He is really good at it! - You can rely on Ryan Nickell to line up lenders that will work hard to provide you best mortgage rate possible. One of our lenders once said, "I want to get you the best rate for you because I want to come through for Ryan" - You can rely on Ryan Nickell to line up contractors and negotiate the best quote for any repair work you may need once you've bought a house (Ryan's contractors delivered quality work at the lowest cost from the quotes we received) - You can rely on Ryan Nickell to walk you through every detail about the house (schooling districts, condition of the house, an estimate of how much it would cost to get the house to where you want it to be, you name it) - Ryan Nickell never pressured us to go above our budget to land an offer. His negotiations with the seller's agent did most of the work Working with Ryan has been an exceptional experience. I highly recommend him. read more

If I could give more stars I would! Ryan was an amazing agent. Unlike other agents we have WASTED our time with, Ryan actually has strategies for winning the bidding war. Without him and his team, I do not believe we would have gotten our forever home. He and Tim are VERY knowledgeable in all aspects of the real estate market. They've guided us through the financing process to make us a stronger buyer, helped us devise a plan for winning the bid, and even stuck with us after the sale to assist with the remodeling. Do not waste your time (and opportunity cost) with other agents. Go with this team. They truly earned their well-deserved commission. read more

As a seller in Sunnyvale, we were apprehensive to enter the market. Ryan eased away all of our anxiety as he walked us through the process. We knew that our house needed updating, and Ryan was the perfect agent who knew the balance of cost vs. return. He led us through the renovation process to make the ideal updates to make our house competitive in this changing market. read more

Ryan helped me sell my home and was wonderful to work with. He is very organized and keeps you up to date on the whole process from start to finish. He knows what to focus on fixing/improving before putting your house on the market to get the best return on investment. He has contacts for various contractors and they are always quick to respond. Ryan makes himself available at any time and is super responsive to texts and phone calls. His negotiation skills are top notch and helped me get over asking price on my home. I would highly recommend him! read more

I just got new house because of Ryan Nickell He is very professional and very supportive especially, he provide very fast feedback And also he has deep knowledge about this industry and very good negotiator. That's why i was so happy to work with him read more

Hands down the best real estate team we've ever worked with. They are both super knowledgeable about the area and gives great suggestions and recommendations. Tim and Ryan were straight-forward and realistic with us which I completely appreciated. They did not push or rush us during any part of the search process (and we went to look at quite a few houses during the process). When we landed on our home I knew it was the one for us. They worked swiftly and quickly to get everything done in a very short period of time and here we are enjoying our new home! I literally cannot find anything I would've changed about our experience with Tim and Ryan. read more

Ryan puts in work! We all know how crazy the Bay Area housing market can be, where buyers put in countless offers just to get rejected. Ryan managed to get me the very FIRST home I looked at and fell in love with. I found the home by myself and toured it but needed a realtor to move fast and make things happen. Within hours, Ryan walked me through the process, including information about the home, and he put in a well reasoned offer within hours. He strategized with me on how to make the offer to get it accepted. And it did! My entire home search process in the Bay Area took less than a week total. He then worked morning, day, night, and even in the middle of the night to answer my questions fast and to make sure the closing process was moving forward. This included texts and emails I sent him well past 10 pm (sometimes past midnight) that he answered immediately, video calls where he postponed boarding an international flight to talk to me, and more. As a first time homebuyer, I was unfamiliar with the whole process but it was great having Ryan by my side educating me and making sure my inexperience didn't trip anything up. I'm in my new home now, under these awesome 14 foot ceilings in a renovated living room, writing this review after the process from search to closing took only about a month and it feels great! Thank you, Ryan! read more

Ryan is awesome! He is very professional, and extremely attentive to your likes and dislikes during your home search. He always does his research on the properties you are interested in. At every showing, he arrives before you and makes a list of Pros and cons of each property, and answers all your questions. When it comes to putting an offer, he knows exactly what the seller is looking for, in order to win the bid. We would not have been able to purchase a home this year, if it wasn't for Ryan & Tim. Thanks guys! read more

My Santa Clara real estate agents, Tim and Ryan, helped me purchase my investment property.  They are very helpful, knowledgeable, excellent communicators, and genuine. They helped me find a significantly below market home. We highly recommend Tim and Ryan as your realtor team of choice! read more

I could not have asked for a better realtor experience than I got working with Ryan and his team! During my initial conversation with Ryan, I explained that my goal was to maximize my ROI on the property and that I was willing to invest in improvements that could help with that goal. Ryan walked me through comps for other houses in my neighborhood and helped level set what he thought the house could command from buyers, given current market conditions. After we entered into a relationship, Ryan's team sprang into action! He did some initial visits to my house with his designer to get a feel for the property and take inventory of the work we would need to do to maximize ROI. With Ryan, you are not just getting a kickass realtor but also an entire network of capable and affordable professionals. Whether I needed contractors, landscapers, or handymen, Ryan always had someone he could call to get the job done! The results were nothing short of amazing! The house sold in record time in just a few days- Ryan kept in on the market long enough for the tons of buyers we attracted to see it. It ultimately received 31 offers and set a neighborhood record by a long shot, commanding a sale price above comparable homes in the neighborhood with more square footage and a record $1,000 per square foot! We had two appraisals before going to market and we got more than a quarter-million higher than both! I was juggling multiple life changes during this time, but Ryan made the whole experience easy and stress-free. He was always available to answer questions and brainstorm, and he felt like a true partner throughout the process. Thanks for everything, Ryan! #ROI read more

Ryan helped me to buy my condo. He is professional. He guided me through all the details that I need to focus on in process. Smooth transaction and pleasant experience. read more

Ryan is a superstar broker. We bought our house in Silicon Valley only after the third bid during these market conditions and the preference of all sellers for the cash offer. Ryan was honest and very strategic with us. We ended up securing an all-cash offer, which turned out to be lower than the competing financing offers. Thank you so much for this Ryan! The coordination and smoothness of the process were superb, and we look forward to working with you again... read more

Ryan Nickell, my real estate agent who helped me purchase my first home, was a partner who I would recommend to anyone looking to buy a house. If I could give him a higher rating than 5 out of 5 stars, I would do it in a heartbeat. Throughout the entire process, I felt supported in every way I could have asked for; and especially want to highlight the response time/availability Ryan had for me and the genuine desire to help me find the best home for me. Ryan was always readily available for questions and tours, proactively provided listings that matched my search criteria, and making offers on any property I was interested in; but I never felt any pressure to rush a decision, offer on a property I was not in love with, or over offer to boost any commission. Whenever I found a house listing online, Ryan quickly responded and was able to get me into the house at my first availability. Ryan recognizes the competitive and time-sensitive nature of the house market in the Bay Area and made every effort to ensure that I had the opportunities to see and offer on any house that caught my attention. Additionally, throughout this effort, at no point did I ever feel rushed or pressured into anything. Ryan also remained readily in contact and engaged with me all throughout escrow and the closing process; at every point during of my home search and buying process, I felt supported by Ryan and truly felt I had someone on my team representing my best interests. Altogether, Ryan Nickell made my first home purchase as easy and smooth as I could have ever hoped for; and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy a new home. read more

Did his job as good as i would expect: Keep tabs on offer activity, negotiating buy price, connecting me with good lenders, and discussing good/bad points on each of the houses when touring. Very responsive to any questions asked. After offer acceptance, was walked through escrow process, so there wasn't anything unclear. Very solid real estate agent, would recommend to family and friends. read more
