We are so happy to have found Ryan during our home search. Right off the bat, we felt Ryan is the person we can trust for home purchase. And when you're purchasing a home, it has to be with someone who you can trust, be comfortable with, and build a relationship with. Ryan is such a good vibe, knowledgeable and jusy ready to go whenever and wherever you need him to be. There's a few times we give him a short notice to view a specific home and never got a response from him that he can't make it or whatsoever. There was no excuse, and of course there were also times that we have to push our time a little bit but because he also has other clients he attends to and that is totally understandable. Ryan is such a dedicated Realtor and he's so quick. He responds immediately, and always has an update. Ryan has his own strategies and tactics when it comes to making an offer to sellers and with his own techniques, I must say, this is the reason why he's successful. So if you need a realtor to represent you from the Bay, Ryan is the guy! read more

Ryan goes above and beyond for his clients. He showed us multiple homes, helped with so many offers, and never pushed us into a decision we didn't want. Highly recommend!! read more

Finding your first apartment can be stressful and confusing but thankfully I found Ryan to help me with the process. Since I work long hours, Ryan went above and beyond by viewing apartments for me while I was working and sending me videos of the property to make sure I was fully informed of every listing. Once I found the perfect place, Ryan immediately wrote an offer and kept me informed during the ongoing communications with the seller and was able to get me a great deal on my apartment. He made himself available at all hours and I probably called him a little too many times but every single call he took and was extremely patient and helpful. As a first time buyer I could not have asked for a better and smoother experience! I would recommend Ryan to anyone that needs a realtor. read more

Before I get to my experience, I must say he's tapped into the perfect business for a town like Los Angeles. I've lived in Los Angeles for 5 years and apartment hunting ranks up there with getting a root canal or as stressful as...(insert your own stress inducing story here.) I was stressed, I was tired, I had spotty credit and a dog. In short, I was not the ideal candidate to rent to. Oh, I tried it alone but would either rank up $35/per application or never get calls back from property managers! I was down to wire, working full time, with less than two weeks to find a place! Ryan to the rescue!!! And rescue he does, he really saved the day! He kept me calm, he's personable and listens to your every wish. Ryan was always available whenever I needed him and found the perfect apartment for me and my pet! Let's face it, he nailed it; finding me a pretty spacious studio apartment, across the street from a park (for my pet and for exercise) and WOW, was the price right! Oh, but wait, it get's better...I have a 6 minute commute to work! That my yelpers, in LA this is equivalent to winning a small lottery...simply, AMAZING!!!! He went to work the day we met, updating me every step of the way and the next day we had 3 appointment "go-sees." From the minute we met, to the second we signed the lease, he was there for me every step of the way! It is no stretch to say, I made a new friend! I still can't get over, how at ease he made me feel and I will definitely work with him again. He found this gem in under a week. Ryan is THE agent - I wouldn't dream of recommending any other person - he is the right man for the job! He loves what he does, he cares, he's professional and really knows this market! He listens to your needs (what you're looking for) and explains the whole process thoroughly. read more

I've had the pleasure of working with Ryan for some time now. I can't imagine working with anyone else. He is always available to answer any questions and did a great job explaining my options. Moving can be challenging for many of us but Ryan makes everything so much smoother. He helped me find a summer rental in San Francisco a couple years ago. When I heard he was living in LA I hired him again. This time he found me an amazing little house in West Hollywood. I mentioned to Ryan that I plan to buy my first home in the future and he got right on it. He has already gotten a jump start and began doing a preliminary search for me. He is so awesome! Ryan is one of those people I truly am lucky to have met! If you are in the market, run don't walk to see this guy. --R read more

I just moved out to Los Angeles for college from North Dakota. A few weeks before my planned move, I flew out to LA for a week and viewed and applied for apartments. Every apartment I applied to, with the exception of a few with less than favorable living conditions, either turned me down or was subsequently rented to someone else. The stars were not aligning in my favor, friend. Disappointed and badly in need of a dwelling, I flew back to North Dakota. When I got home, I continued applying for apartments online, sight unseen. Still, no luck. Eventually, I found Ryan on Yelp and read the reviews. Naturally, I hired him. After all, time was not in my favor. We communicated through e-mail, as well as phone calls and text messages. He always kept me updated on his daily viewings and and gave me his thoughts and recommendations on the apartments. He made me feel at ease about the race against time I was in to find an apartment before school started. Ryan came through and found me a spacious apartment in a good neighborhood where everything I need is within a few blocks. His fee is totally reasonable and he totally helped me out when I was in a bind. He's very professional and personable. I would and do recommend him. It's a great idea for a business and I'd say it's one LA is badly in need of. read more

Working with Ryan is a pleasure. He helped us find a home in a short time and helped us enjoy the process (we didn't think that was possible). His knowledge of the housing market, warm personality and patience were well-worth the money. I would recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a bit of help with their home search. read more

Ryan is the man! I needed a place to rent with my fiance and two dogs. This is when I was searching on craigslist for places to rent and found Ryan's post for relocation/leasing agent. I was skeptical given craigslist.. but supply and demand. Given my working 8 hours plus a day during the week, I needed Ryan to do all the leg work for me. He was able to find me a great place that accepted my dogs (toy poddle & bulldog). He got me in an awesome location and took care of all the administrative type stuff when it came to follow-up for all the places I applied to/viewed -- up until the signing of the lease! If you are in the same situation as me or simply looking for a legit place and dont want to settle given time constraints or simply dont want to stress about the process, give Ryan a call and you're in great hands!! read more

Ryan totally saved me when my friend gave me 2 weeks notice to move out of his place. Yikes! Within an hour of talking with him initially, he was already out looking at an apartment for me! I was more concerned about location, but he was able to find me a BEAUTIFUL newly renovated apartment with vintage details in my favorite neighborhood (Los Feliz) in my price range! Oh, and did I mention he found it in less than a week?! He is super friendly and professional and I would recommend him to anyone who needs to move in a hurry or who just hates looking at Craigslist ads all day! As I said, he saved me when I was in a jam and I would use him again if I ever move (but I probably won't because this place is AMAZING!). read more

Just relocated from NZ. Had no idea about LA. Contracted Ryan, 1 month prior to my move. When I landed in Cali, he had a list of properties to choose from. I settled on the beach. Ryan spent time to figure out what MY needs were. location,convenience, hot spots, etc.. Ryan Took me here, took me their, til the perfect spot appeared. Ryan knows LA. I settled close to Abbot Kinney, right off the beach. Its Heaven on earth. I don't fight traffic during the week, and its affordable? Whatever your needs are? Check him out.. The fee is worth the effort....... read more

Who actually likes apartment hunting?! It is so stressful to find a new abode-- what hood? parking? fridge? washer dryer? wood floors? Gah! Thank goodness Ryan loves it. After speaking with him I felt immensely better about my super short deadline to find a place to live. He was so confident that he could help me find just what I was looking for in a place with a non-shady landlord (I guess they exist!). Somehow his good juju rubbed off on me, as I was giving it one last shot before I called in for backup. And then I found my new place! And while I didn't actually hire him, if I need a place anytime soon, I'll be calling him. Because I'm one of those embarrassing Angelinos who has "lived in LA" for 3 years yet still doesn't know any neighborhoods, westwood from eastside, and can't decide if it's better to have a cute neighborhood or a shorter commute. And I still seriously don't get why LA is not saturated with apartment agents. Girls like me in the city need you! read more

My girlfriend and I hired Ryan to find us a place when we decided to move from Brooklyn to Silver Lake this April. We knew that we would have very little time to fly out to LA for apartment hunting with our work schedule, and our minimal efforts to see places while we were in LA had been pretty disappointing. We came across this very yelp page our last day in LA decided to give him a call. Coincidentally when he picked up the phone he happened to be 2 blocks from our apartment back in Brooklyn! We took that as a good omen. On the phone Ryan was upbeat, professional, and listened carefully to our requirements so we took the chance and decided to hire him. Let me just say it was one of the best decisions we ever made...within 1 week (yea seriously 1 week! I know?!) we had already signed a lease on a more beautiful home than we could have ever imagined, and the entire process was so laid back and well managed that I can't believe we ever wondered if it would be a good idea to use his services. Before we found the place we ended up taking he sent us pictures and video walkthroughs of a number of lovely apartments. Then once we found the perfect one he managed all aspects of the lease signing and move in, and even showed up in person to welcome us to our new home when we picked up our keys. I could not have been more pleased with the outcome of our engagement. We just moved in last week and our new place is like a dream - it is exactly what we wanted, well within our budget, and has an incredible location with a gorgeous view and tons of outdoor space. If you are reading over these yelp reviews, stressed out about finding a place within a specific time frame, wondering if you should give him a call, I urge you to pick up the phone. I honestly cannot recommend his services enough. read more

I just moved from Alabama to Los Angeles for graduate school. Because of school and distance, I was unable to visit LA prior to moving. I spent close to two months searching for apartments online with no promising results. I called Ryan two weeks before I was supposed to start school and asked him to help me out. He immediately reassured me that the time limit was no problem and got right to work. Ryan kept me informed, I never went a day without hearing from him. He sent me daily pictures, answered all my questions, and made sure he knew what was most important to me in a living space. Ryan is absolutely fantastic at his job and always finds the best for his clients. My apartment was not only ready and waiting for me, but Ryan made sure it was in good condition with fresh paint in areas that needed it, working and installed kitchen appliances, and clean! Ryan came with me to look over the apartment upon move in and has checked up on me since to make sure everything was going smoothly with no problems. Ryan, you are the best!! I owe you big time - THANK YOU! read more

This is my second time using Ryan. He is super sweet and friendly and it's very evident he loves what he does. Ryan is great at meeting time frames and knows LA very well. We love our place, its just what we wanted! Thanks Ryan! read more

Ryan is extremely personable and extremely knowledgeable. He found me just what I was looking for for far less rent than I ever imagined, and in the most amazing location. We've been friends ever since. I have watched him work with admiration, as he has never let any client down, and always succeeds in fulfilling his clients' needs, no matter how restrictive. I cannot recommend him highly enough. read more

We worked with Ryan on a relocation to SF. He set up a great schedule and must have shown us over 20 places. He stuck to our requests and didn't waste time on properties that didn't fit what we needed. By the end of the tours we were debating between three equally wonderful rentals and are super excited about the home we ultimately chose. Ryan provided fantastic service, was helpful throughout the process, and patient as we debated neighborhoods. Couldn't recommend him more!! read more

Ryan offers a really valuable service in a place like Los Angeles, where the rental market is getting more competitive every day. He knows exactly what the landlords are going to ask for, and can beat them to the punch! His document list was extensive and his assistants are knowledgeable about the areas. If you are relocating this service is a MUST HAVE, especially if you have pets or a list of things that you need from a place, like I did! I wholeheartedly recommend Ryan. read more

If you want the perfect apartment and an exceptional level of service, call Ryan. My husband and I found out we had to relocate rather abruptly for his job and were having a stressful and difficult time finding any rentals that met our needs and taste. After hearing about Ryan through our recently transplanted friends, we decided to give him a call. The result? An awesome house hunting weekend and a beautiful apartment in the perfect location for us. Not only did Ryan thoroughly search properties prior to us coming out, but he adjusted his list as we went so that we could see virtually every neighborhood in LA. We also just had an amazing time hanging out with him as we searched. It was like working with an old friend, but never was his professionalism lacking either. He knew all the right questions to ask and kept us thinking about what was most important for us along the way. All that to say, if you're looking for your dream place and a 100% positive experience, Ryan is your guy. read more

Ryan assisted us with rental relocation services moving to San Francisco. Over a period of a month or so, Ryan screened listings, contacted owners, hosted us for showings, and even attended them by himself to create videos for us. Ryan is extremely talented. He takes the time to understand your specific needs and takes your interests to heart. By the end of rental process, we ended up renting an apartment site unseen, wholly relying on Ryan's judgement. We could not be more pleased. Ryan is a lifesaver. I would work with him again in a heartbeat. read more

I cannot praise Ryan enough! My wife and I were his first clients since his relocation to SF and we are so grateful he made the move back. Not only did he line up a great selection of rental properties (as well as taking into consideration our needs, wants, architectural touches, neighborhood appeal and more) but he helped us through the entire process, including tips for the application process, a must in a city with a competitive housing market. RBT Real Estate is a must for anyone relocating to the bay since part of the experience includes being acquainted with the city, but is also highly recommended for anyone looking for the perfect spot. I have never loved a location more than the one Ryan helped us find, it is perfect in every way, below our budget, and really feels like home. The time and money that Ryan can help you save while looking for a house makes his fee not only affordable but an actual bargain. His experience and connections alone make him a genius at this, his hard work makes him invaluable. read more

My boyfriend and I had plans to move across country from the Northeast to LA, giving ourselves a little over a month to drive cross country. We knew we would be exhausted after being on the road for so long, and ideally wanted to have a place waiting for us when we arrived. While hunting for places on Craigslist one day, I came across Ryan's ad for relocation services! I was apprehensive at first, as I am a bit of a control freak, but once I read the Yelp reviews for Ryan's services I knew I had to at least call him! Ryan has great energy and is very personable while maintaining professionalism. He had me send him a "wish list" for what we were looking for in an apartment (so fun!) and got to work right away. I would hear from Ryan at the minimum every two days, and he was always texting us links to apartments and letting us know when he made appointments to go and see a place. We had a lot of restrictions and specifics on our wish list, and he managed to hit the nail on the head with almost every listing he shared! We ended up with the apartment of our dreams in Silver Lake, in a corner apartment, with gorgeous views of DTLA and tons of light. We still can't believe it's ours when we wake up every morning! I highly recommend Ryan's services, his rate is extremely reasonable and 110% worth it! read more

I can't say enough good things about Ryan. After unsuccessfully trying to help my son find an apartment in LA from Connecticut I found Ryan online and decided to call. I was a little apprehensive as I was paying a half month's rent up front and really knew nothing about him but his YELP reviews. But the YELP reviews were right on target. He is professional, quick, SO NICE, and found my son the perfect apartment in Miracle Mile that I know we could never have done by ourselves. Not knowing what would be the best area to settle in, after speaking with my son he knew exactly what neighborhoods would work best and narrowed down the search to several apartments which he described and videotaped. He handled all application fees and credit reports and had the apartment ready and waiting for when my son arrived. Best of all, the apartment is FANTASTIC, my son described it as the best place he's ever lived. Having a safe and comfortable place is a great first step in settling in a new area. And regarding the post that you can find a realtor who does this for free?? Good luck, I called several and the one that actually returned my call said they do not represent rentals that are less than $5,000 a month! Ryan is worth every penny and then some. read more
