I'm so happy I was able to work with him and his team of colleagues. I would recommend anyone to work with him and his company. Happy to have done business with him! Thanks again, Ryan. read more

Ryan and his team went above and beyond expectations for our selling experience for my family and I. A probate sale is never an easy job but he did what was necessary and was transparent about all the headaches that came with it. All in all it was a pleasant experience and I recommend hi m to anyone looking to sell their home. Bobby read more

He told us that our applications and documents were accepted for the Kauffman property in Temple City so we planned our child school transfer to Longden Elementary, planned the moving company and packed our belongings. He represents the "landlords". Then we went to meet the landlords and they told us they wanted to increase rent each year because they have "under-priced" their property. Which is misleading statement. We did our research and know from the market analysis, it is priced at market conditions. Not to mention, the house is extremely old, 87 years old to be exact. Old, dilapidated everything from cabinets, walls and floors, and exterior appearance. But it is in prime location to school and work. The neighborhood looks safe. There were obvious red flags when the first questions the landlord, Pauline, interrogated our ethnic backgrounds, bi-racial family dynamics and discriminated us on our age, race, and family. She inappropriately fixated about our age, race, appearances and youthfulness. Which all of which are illegal to be commenting on. It has become very clear that these "landlords" are money hungry, dishonest, greedy, thieving liars. Everything they say was contradictory to the information posted on their online Ad. They threatened if we don't agree to their annual rent increases then they denied our application. After we've told them that we already told them that is not fair and highly unethical. Then Pauline complained that their property has been sitting un-rented for 6 months. So we left the meeting and then they call us to come back. What a joke. What a total waste of our time and efforts. Highly unprofessional and unethical behaviors reflected from both the agent and the landlords. Beware of Pauline and Joe Utar. We hope you sit on your property for another 6 months due to your greedy bait and switch scamming tactics that you try to con people. What a bunch of greedy, lying, and predatory landlords. Preying on the vulnerable. There is a special place in Hell for you two. read more

I had the great pleasure to refer Ryan to one our very close friends with the sale of their Home in Arcadia. He was able to negotiate an unbelievable sale. After receiving few offers one the house and going back and forth with 5 different counter offers he was able to successfully sell their home. My friends Amy and Steve were in a binde to sell their home in a short time since Steve had a job transfer, not only Ryan was able to sell their home in 2 weeks he was also able to sell their home over the Listing price. My friends were very impressed by Ryan's aggressiveness, his knowledge towards the Real Estate industry and for being so ethical plus they made a friend for life. So Ryan your right your not only a great REALTOR you also make friends for LIFE" Thank you for keeping me so proud! I will definitely send more referrals towards your way. I wish you more and more success and by the way you're also doing an awesome job being the President of the Arcadia Association of Realtors. You're an amazing leader. Much Love. read more

TGFY (Thank god for Yelp). I am a big yelper and I found Ryan just here. We all know Real Estate are a dime a dozen. Having found Ryan I feel greatful that I wasn't wrong or YELP for that matter. We use Ryan in one of tranactions and he genuine and returns calls. Clearly unheard of those Diva agents. I am glad we found him and looking forward to a long lasting relationship. Ryan keep up the good work! Stay humble and just the way you are. read more

When looking for a real estate agent you want a few things. 1) Someone dependable and trustworthy 2) someone honest 3) someone who listens to what you want and tells you not what you want to hear, but what is the best for you. These are all things you will find in Ryan Asao's work. He is very passionate about his job and his main goal is to help you find a home you love. He has been helping me look for a property in Monrovia and he is remarkable attentive and responsive. I have also referred him over to friends and they have had nothing but compliments on how great he is. I can say for a fact that though he is trying to make business for himself, he has principles. One referral had some question about a property and out of "real estate" politeness to the other agents who was handing the case, gave some advice but stated that it would be best to let the deal run its course and that he could help them after this particular property. Honesty-the best policy ^^". If you are looking for a property, need someone to help you manage one, or even help you sell one-you need not look any further in the SGV area. Ryan is the best. I highly recommend him, and am very excited about all the amazing property location he has sent over to us! read more

I was blessed to meet Ryan about 8 years ago. He was selling my God sisters house. As I got the chance to know him through open houses, I got to see his work ethics and thoroughness of everything he does. I learned a lot from him because he is very personable. He is really there for the client. Ryan is the best out there in the real estate arena. Let me tell you why. He is always going to conferences relating to the real estate and the latest on it. He is very knowledgeable in the field. He has a wealth of resources and can help you with just about anything you want to do to a house, whether its to buy or sell. Hands down without a doubt in mind he is the man for you when it comes to selling or buying homes. He sells homes like hot cakes. I highly recommend him. read more

When my elderly aunt passed away I assumed the duties of executor for her estate. She left a house that she had owned and lived in since 1953 on the east side of Los Angeles. I needed to find a seller's agent so I contacted a real estate agent friend where I live in northern California. She made some calls for me. She said she thought she had found an excellent agent who would know the local market well. And she was right. I called Ryan and asked him if he was willing to take on a challenging probate sale. I told him the house was a small two-bedroom, one-bath home in unappealing condition, containing a lifetime of hoarded memorabilia and broken furniture, surrounded by an unkempt yard. The kitchen and bathroom were vintage 1953. Additionally, because of a health issue, I would be unable to travel to LA to oversee the repair and renovation of the home to prepare it for sale. I would need him to be my boots-on-the-ground to manage the entire process. Also, because my aunt had very little money left when she passed away, there were very limited funds available in the estate to make the place saleable. But Ryan said he could handle it, and was ready to jump on it to get it ready. He toured the home and provided excellent advice about how to direct the available funds to specific areas of the house to maximize market appeal. He proactively managed the entire preparation process and set up all the necessary contractors to do the work. The work was done quickly and well, and the house was much improved and very appealing by the time the work was done. Ryan clearly has a superb understanding of the local marketplace and he provided a thorough market analysis. He expressed very specific and strategic advice about how to present and price the house in order to elicit the greatest possible interest. When the house went on the market my expectations were modest, given the small size of the house and an understanding that the market may be softening. Ryan, however, was confident there would be good activity. Ryan was right. Within a week we had 17 offers! Almost all of them higher than the asking price, many of them much higher. We selected the highest credible offer and moved forward. There were bumps along the road to the closing, and I was ready to cut bait and move to the next offer several times. Ryan stayed positive and actively pursued the buyer's agent to keep the process moving whenever it appeared to have stalled. When escrow closed the house had sold for 23% more than the asking price, an outcome far better than anything I could have envisioned. Throughout the process Ryan provided astute market analysis, clear and timely communication, efficient process management, assertive negotiating, creative problem solving, and a friendly and upbeat attitude. This is easily the best service, and outcome, I have had of the several home sales I have been involved in. If you are looking for an agent to handle your sale in the LA area your first stop should be Ryan Asao. I don't believe you will find anyone more capable. Thank you Ryan. read more

Ryan is great! He's impressionable and very knowledgeable. I'm considered a first time home buyer. Though there may be a lot of literature online, it can be very confusing. Ryan took the time to see me and explain everything. Some realtors won't even see you if you don't have a approved loan, you definitely don't want to work with them! If you're thinking of buying a home or planning towards it, go see him! He will definitely help guide you! read more

We needed to sell my mother's house quickly. The positive reviews on Yelp regarding Ryan caught my attention so I decided to call and meet him. Ryan was very patient and helpful throughout the whole process. The house needed to be staged in order to be more appealing to the buyers. Ryan and his team moved quickly and was able to decorate the whole house, took professional pictures, advertise, and open house all in one week! Although we've run into some complications during selling, Ryan was helpful and attentive every step of the way. He definitely gets an A+ for effort, and proved to be a friend, not just another agent. Ryan is also very resourceful and has a lot of connections to other professionals such as escrow companies, lawyers, mortgage brokers, accountants...that can help with any real estate need. I am grateful to have found Ryan Asao on Yelp! I highly recommend him! Thank you Ryan! read more

I absolutely cannot say enough about Ryan! He is the best real estate agent I have ever worked with and I have bought and sold many homes. Ryan is so professional, yet personable.

It was an emotional sale and he handled it as a caring friend would. I would highly recommend him. There is no better! read more

His team really focuses on making the selling or buying process as smooth as possible.

My husband and I met Ryan at an open house. We were not working with any agent then so Ryan told us we could go through him and submit an offer. We sent everything to him including a letter to the seller, bank statement, offer terms and conditions but he never responded to us. We called and left messages, we sent emails but he never called/ emailed back. He never submit an offer for us. And when we were finally able to get him on the phone, he did not know who we are. When we asked him about the offer, he told us we had a verbal offer to the seller. If Ryan didn't tell us to go through him we could have worked with another agent but we were stuck. We went to the 2nd open house to talk to him and make sure we have an offer to the seller. After the open house, he still never got back to us. NOT A SINGLE CALL/ TEXT/ EMAIL. Not after the seller decided to accept another offer. We only found out online that the house was already pending after a few days. Certainly not "just another realtor". read more

Ryan is a very responsive, attentive, conscientious real estate agent and realtor. He made me feel like he had my best interests in mind every step of the way.
