Ryan Stein and his assistant Andrea Fulop did an amazing job selling my house. They are a very professional team - easy and pleasant to work with. This how house sales should happen - without frustration, without much involvement on the client part. We moved out of state and the house was rented out for the last 8 years. About a year and a half ago I got a call from Ryan telling me that the market in San Diego was good for selling. I did not know Ryan, but liked him over the phone - there was a strong feeling that he could be trusted. I was not ready to sell then, but we agreed that he will keep me posted and check with me in a year. When I was ready to begin the process (more than a year later), Ryan assured me that he can do everything without me ever coming to San Diego to oversee the process. And he did! We discussed the steps of the process and Ryan explain the timeframe, the current market and how the marketing and the sale will go. I mostly followed Ryan's advice, which made things less complex on my end. I think the most difficult part was preparing the house for sale, after 8 years of rental situation. There was a very difficult flea situation and Andrea worked on it diligently until it was resolved. We had continuous and very efficient email and phone communications. Once painted and staged, the house was sold on the first weekend it was shown, over the asking price and to a sweet family! It could not be better... It is important to know that your old home is in good hands - there is a true sense of relief. Ryan negotiated sale price, advocating for me beyond what I would expect. His entire team - the title company and Dawn, who handled all the electronic signing of the documents were friendly, easy to work and very efficient. This was the smoothest possible experience I could have hoped for. And I did not come to San Diego even once. Thank you Ryan, Andrea and the team! read more

Wow! Ryan Stein surpassed my expectations on every level. I had a "Challenging" rental property to sell; my property's canyon slope had collapsed, which led to being cited by the City, thus facing significant impending fines if repairs were not completed. The repair costs were significant. To add to the problem, I live out of state so I could not personally oversee the extensive canyon restoration project or the property sale. Despite these unusual circumstances, Ryan found the right buyer! (Someone with the skills and expertise, to handle the Canyon Slope restoration work). Ryan returned my calls promptly, educated me, as needed, about the transaction process. I was also impressed with his "team" who were always available for help as needed. Ryan went above and beyond, by coordinating with the City about the canyon slope failure project; he worked with the neighbors as needed and took care of replacing the carpet, through his network of service providers. I found Ryan to be honest and dependable, acting with integrity throughout the sale process. A true "Go Getter". I was pleasantly surprised at how easy he made it to do business while living out of state. I'm planning to use Ryan's expert services to sell another home later this year. I'd highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for superior service in real estate transactions. read more

My family and I are very fortunate to have had Ryan as our agent for our first home buying experience. It is a huge decision that needs to be made after plenty of house hunting experience and general education on market conditions. We believe fully that Ryan had us well prepared and confident in one of the biggest decisions of my life. We had lots of questions, we were unsure how to go about the process and wanted to insure that in the end the house was not only everything we needed but wanted as well. Ryan worked constantly with us to make sure that we spent the time looking in the right areas for us, the right styles of home, and most importantly all of it for the right price. Ryan is always readily available to show places, discuss ones we have already seen, or point areas we may want to begin to look to get a better idea what is overall out there on the market. The confidence that comes with buying a home you are going to grow into comes in large part from knowing that the real estate agent you had along the way is knowledgeable, friendly and there when you need them, Ryan is all of that and more. We have all recommended him to our friends and family. Thank You Ryan. read more

When we decided to sell, we felt it was extremely important to get our house sold as quickly as possible. After a bit of research, I realized Ryan Stein was selling a lot of homes in our Clairemont neighborhood. When we met, both Ryan and I quickly realized we were on the same page as far as estimated market value for our house. He was extremely professional and well prepared. We ended up receiving several offers within the first week, and accepted an offer $13,000 above asking, and entered escrow within 10 days of being on the market. Escrow closed about 30 days later without any problems. It was a successful transaction, and we have no 2nd thoughts about our choice for realtor. In fact, Ryan will be helping us find our next home in the near future. Updated Review: Previous review above Ryan sold our old house and did an excellent job. We just completed escrow on our subsequent purchase now bringing us full circle. Ryan continues to be as steady and reliable asset for us. He and his team are diligent, reliable, trustworthy, and extremely competent. I highly recommend his services if you're looking to buy or sell real estate. read more

Ryan Stein was the right realtor at the right time. He helped my siblings and I sell our mother's condo after she passed away recently. Through our intense grief, Ryan gently guided us through the process of getting her place ready to be sold. Repairs and other small items had to be done to the condo and he was able to find the appropriate people to help us during this incredibly difficult time. Ryan was thoughtful, caring and determined to sell the condo for us within the shortest amount of time and for the greatest amount of money. He delivered on both fronts. Through Ryan's pre-marketing endeavors, we received a full price offer within a matter of a couple of weeks. As the Trustee, Ryan then helped me through the daunting amount of documents to be reviewed, signed and returned. We closed escrow on the specified date and quickly received our money. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for an extremely knowledgeable, creative agent who made himself available to my sister, brother and me at one of life's most difficult moments. I can't imagine going through this experience with anyone else but Ryan. read more

In May of 2012 my fiance and I decided we were ready to purchase our first home. Being first time home buyers we had a lot of questions and were also undecided exactly what area we wanted to buy. Luckily we had the opportunity to work with Ryan. We told him what we wanted in our home and with his knowledge of San Diego communities we were able to decide on a perfect area for our family. Anyone buying a home today knows the market is extremely competitive and it was a tough road for us. For months and months we looked at home after home and Ryan never once pushed us to settle, he always encouraged us to be patient and that we would find our "perfect" home! At one point we were losing hope that we would not find a home but Ryan never gave up! His positive attitude and patience persevered and we found "our"home!!! Ryan was super efficient and was able to negotiate an awesome deal for us. We could not ask for more! We highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a fantastic real estate agent! Ryan is extremely hardworking, experienced and very professional. read more

My wife and I contacted Ryan after several months of searching for our first home in the Central San Diego County area without success. Ryan's familiarity with Real Estate throughout the city is impressive and his persistence in finding listings well before they appear on Real Estate websites provided us with insight on properties that would have been otherwise unattainable. Within two months of working with Ryan, we were able to identify a home that met our requirements for location and school district ranking (9 out of 10). Not only did Ryan help us negotiate a purchase price well within our budget, he was also able to secure much needed repair credits from the seller and expedite our closing date. Being a parent himself, Ryan understands the significance of neighborhood safety and aesthetics. He is honest and attentive and clearly understands the transactional elements of real estate negotiations that are not evident to first time home buyers. We would highly recommend Ryan Stein to anyone who is currently in the market to buy or sell a property. read more

Ryan is truly as good as it gets ! He is thorough, energetic, creative, has solid market knowledge, finds qualified truly interested buyers and will help anyway he can to get your home sold. Not exactly sure what Ryan thought about our experience but I know our situation was pretty unique. Ryan was able to get our home sold in aprrox 60 days ( maybe a little less ) while we were located on the other coast going through our own personal ordeal. The stresses of which could have broken your average Real Estate Broker ! BELIEVE ME ! LOL...... I was told by neighbors that they would often see Ryan over our house either watering our lawn or sprucing up the yard making it look as presentable as possible. Also constantly adding new flyers to the Ad box. There was no way we could have been there to help . Ryan Cheers to you on a job well Done ! I have not worked with Ryan in terms of looking for a house to buy but if I were looking for a home in San Diego Ryan would be the person I would call! Tom G. New York City read more

My husband and I have used Ryan to buy/sell our homes 3 times now. He is extremely knowledgable about the whole process from start to finish and extremely helpful. When we needed a plumber, he had someone, when we needed a gardener, he had someone, when we needed a mover, he referred a great company. Every step of the way he was with us through this whole process in helping everything go as smooth as possible. He even had a broker he works with match my mortgage rate pre-approval to make sure the loan process went as smooth as possible, since my pre-approval was from a company in Los Angeles and not local. When it came to selling our home, he did everything from getting amazing pictures taken to non stop open houses till we got a full price offer that we accepted within a week! Ryan is a go-getter and honestly we wouldn't use anyone else to buy or sell a home! Thanks Ryan, you are the best! read more

My husband and I just closed on a house thanks to all of Ryan's help! In beginning the house buying process, we interviewed 3 agents and Ryan stood out above all of them. He is extremely genuine and straight-forward and we could trust him immediately. Ryan is a specialist in the neighborhood (Clairemont) that we were looking in and has a ton of connections with other realtors. He found the house we bought BEFORE it went on the market/MLS which gave us an advantage over other buyers. He is very good at communicating and is on top of everything. He was patient to answer any question we had and go through all of the forms thoroughly. He helped us figure out what price to offer on the house so that it would be considered and stand out above other buyers. Ryan operates very quickly and knows the San Diego market. We highly recommend him! read more

I would like to take this time to say a special thank you to Ryan and his staff. Ryan and his dedicated employees helped me sell my house in San Diego, and I was not present to meet him in person because I live in Oregon now. A few months ago I received a phone call from Ryan, and he told me that he could help me sell my home, and I would not have to be in San Diego. After a short while and a large amount of work, Ryan and his staff accomplished something I didn't think could be done. I was more than happy how they accomplished selling my home in such a timely manner. I would highly recommend Ryan Stein at Keller William Realty in La Jolla, CA to assist anyone who wants to sell a home or buy one. Very Sincerely, Dave Canova Thanks Again read more

I have a plan that works! Ryan's words rang true. He helped me sell my parents home of over 40 years. Every time I started to doubt him, he reminded me of his plan and how it works. Wow! He really worked in my best interest the whole time and once listed, the house sold within the first week with multiple offers all over list price. He took care of all the little details and follow up for me since we live 500 miles away. I truly appreciate his professional approach and his wonderful team. Everyone I knew told me to work with another specific agent in the area, but I was impressed with Ryan from our first phone call. I made the right choice by choosing him to get the job done. I would highly recommend working with Ryan. read more

We live in Ohio and met Ryan four years ago while casually looking at properties in San Diego. We were visiting our daughter who was a freshman at San Diego State. During her undergrad work, we thought about investing in a condo. Ryan kept in contact with us throughout this time and four years later, we decided to invest in a property. Ryan scheduled tours of condos for my daughter throughout COVID. He helped us find a property that was a great fit for our family's wants and budget. Ryan has good knowledge of the San Diego area. It was easy to communicate with him, even with being out of state. We would recommend Ryan Stein if you are looking to purchase a property in the San Diego area! read more

We want to express our deep appreciation for the work done for us by real estate agent Ryan Stein. He helped us in buying our very own home. We had some difficulties in looking for a house to buy and then had some problems with the requirements of the lenders due to the present economy. Mr Stein had an arduous time of working so that our home loan will be approved. We find Mr Stein to be industrious, persevering and very knowledgeable in the real estate business. We highly recommend him in helping other people who are committed to make the American dream of owning a home. Mr and Mrs Ralph Ganaden read more

I recently purchashed a home and used Ryan for my agent. Given the criteria that I had for my purchase: (fha loan or usda rural loan, less than 300k, 1acre +,2b2ba, 30min from work) I would say we deffinitely had limited choices. Ryan always made sure he updated me with the newest listings so we were able to make a offer quickly when we found a property that met my criteria. Through the entire process he kept me very up to date on what was happening and kept in good contact with my lender as well. I would recommend Ryan to anyone who wants purchase/sell a home. Thanks again, -Mark Manfred read more

Ryan and his team are professional, friendly, and clearly experts in their field. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for their next home, or looking to sell their current one. They were able to sell my home quickly in spite of having a challenging neighbor's mess right next door, and living close to the freeway! They found the right buyer, and the whole team worked hard to make sure the negotiations did not stall. I'm a happy seller, and they found a happy buyer! Save yourself from realtors who don't work for you, The Ryan Stein team will exceed your expectations! read more

We purchased our first home (condo) with the Stein Group and had a Fantastic Experience! Not only did Ryan reach out to us right away when the Condo was available, he and Andrea were able to help us close in under 30 days! Andrea was there step by step along the way providing assistance to us when we had questions concerning Escrow, HOA or Home Owners insurance. Thanks to them we were able to follow through with our purchase stress free:) Will recommend the Stein Group for anyone looking for a great reality team. We will sure use them next time.

Ryan did an outstanding job in assisting my family and I to find and purchase our new home in Point Loma. His performance was particularly astounding as we were located in Singapore during the purchase but Ryan made the process clear and stress-free. He is still assisting us even after the purchase by setting up renovators and providing valuable information on other items we require prior to moving in. We were very pleased with all aspects of Ryan's professional approach and highly recommend him to others seeking a home in San Diego. read more
