Ryan Smith went above and beyond for my husband and I in our recent Tahoe home purchase! Not only was he informative, giving us the details we needed to evaluate our market options, he was inquisitive and responsive to our needs. Ryan is more than a realtor - he is a partner in a very important large purchase - a home in Tahoe. Once Ryan spent time really understanding our needs in the market, he went to work organizing an opportunity for us to research homes, presenting us with comparable properties and uniquely identifying the home that would be a perfect fit. After we made the decision to purchase, Ryan quickly went to work negotiating, securing our perfect home in less than a day, for 30K under the asking price, saving us substantial money!! He was extraordinary!! During escrow, Ryan supremely guided us through the process, answering our questions every step of the way and ensuring t…

"Ryan is AMAZING !!! He helped me obtain my absolute dream home in South Lake Tahoe. Purchasing your first home can be a long/daunting/stressful process but Ryan provided guidance every step of the way, on every level. He is professional, patient, and compassionate. The purchase of my first home coincided with some pretty heavy work obligations but Ryan made every thing easy and digestible. He talked me through every step of the way - as a realtor, and a friend. I couldn't be happier with Ryan's service."

Ryan was great! We had been looking for a Tahoe home for a few months and hadn’t had any luck with a winning offer. Enter Ryan. He was the REALTOR on a home we didn’t end up making an offer on, but was super proactive in wanting to find us exactly what we wanted - even if it wasn’t a home he was selling. We decided to take a chance, and sure enough within a few weeks, we had closed on our Tahoe dream home. Ryan was available 24/7, went above and beyond, and got us through a difficult process and market. Would recommend him to all our family and friends!
