"Ryan did a phenomenal job of continually working to find a home for us and preparing our home for the market. He provided insightful advice we had not previously considered. When there were some snags in the closing process, Ryan jumped in to ensure we would close on time and arranged all the necessary shifts for a successful closing. We greatly appreciate his expertise and attention to detail."

In this housing market we were worried about finding a home that worked for us and Ryan and Mary made us feel like their number one priority. We got the house we wanted at a fair price and felt like we were truly valued. The support after the offer was great and we would not be HOME without them."

"This is my 2nd time working with Ryan. There will also be a 3rd next year. Ryan is the best realtor I’ve ever dealt with. He kept me well informed throughout the process and assisted me with making a lower offer that was in my price range. He’ll make it happen and close the deal every time.
Ryan is always the most professional expert; who worked diligently to get my offer on the table within hours on the same day.
Ryan is worth every dollar I paid him for his commission. His experience and knowledge are invaluable during negotiations. He knows exactly what to do in every situation."

"Ryan Smith is the best agent I have ever dealt with, and I have dealt with many. He is very knowledgeable about local real estate. Ryan is true to his word, when says he will do something, it is done. He is very trustworthy and that is his hallmark trait that sets him above the average agent. You can converse with Ryan on just about any subject displaying the depth of his knowledge of life and real estate business. I called Ryan, to tell him, I was going with a different builder and instead of being dejected Ryan stated,” if there was anything he could do to help, that he was always available. Well, three days latter I called to solicit his service after I terminated the contract with the current builder. Ryan stepped up to the plate when I needed him and has been there ever since. I believe it was by Gods hand that Ryan Smith is “MY REAL ESTATE AGENT”."

"I buy and sell property throughout the country and the only downfall is Ryan is only lic in Kentucky..... I have done business with 7 different realtors in the past 10 years and Mr Smith is actually 1 of only 2 agents that I trust in what they say..... to me, most realtors are no better then used car salesman.... their focus is on one goal..... COMMISSION... That's not the case with Ryan... In regards to being able to actually view the properties I'm located in California and Montana and don't always have the ability to fly out to inspect the property I'm purchasing so I have to rely on my agent's and Ryan has preformed a inspection for me on 8 or 9 times only to come back with his assessment....He has warned me about the property conditions only to advise me to move on and let's look for other homes....Who does that... He just advised himself right out of a commission.....My point is I would never think about using any agent except Ryan...
Thanks again Ryan..
Unlike most agent in the state of Kentucky Ryan is so on top of his customer service in some cases he's aware of issue on perspective property before I am
I've said enough about Ryan..... Again I wouldn't think about using anyone but Mr Smith.... If Ryan moved to another broker I would move also"

"We had dealt with a different Rector Hayden agent when purchasing the home we’re in now and had a great experience. But I called Ryan
because I have looked at a couple of homes that Ryan was the selling agent for in the past 5 years and he was very knowledgeable about the area and was interested in us but didn’t pressure us if we were “just looking”. He is a really good salesman without being pushy. Coupled with the fact that he has been available for us for whatever and whenever. Excellent experience!!"

"Ryan was very proactive on sending us new house listings as soon as they became available. We could tell he was looking out for us. He was available when needed, answered texts quickly, and was generally helpful through all the stages of finding and purchasing our new home.
Ryan was very patient with our needs (handicap accessibility, large family, home based business) and with my father who has stage 5 Parkinson's and cannot communicate well. We had challenges with being sure my dad understood all the information and choices with all the houses we looked at. Ryan personally took time to work with him on some of these issues. I would recommend Ryan Smith to anyone who wants a patient, hard working, trustworthy realtor on their side."

"Ryan Smith was fantastic. He went above and beyond our expectations. He is very knowledgeable about the area and the buying process. It was my first time buying a house so I had many questions which he always had an answer for. He always got back to me quickly and was willing to set up a viewing of a home with little notice and worked around my and my husband's work schedule. On top of all of that he is just a great guy, which made it very easy to feel comfortable with him. I will be recommending him to anyone I know in the area that is planning to buy or sell a house and if/ when we need a realtor in the future we will be going back to Ryan."

Extremely friendly and polite, honest and very patient (we looked at 40 houses over 2 years, I was frustrated by myself at times but he wasn’t), very helpful, hardworking and organized! He really went above and beyond with us! He helped us even find the right bank and took care of several bank issues for us by calling the bank manager himself! We appreciate you Ryan and consider ourselves lucky to have had you as our realtor! We have also found an amazing friend in you! Thank you very much and keep the hard work!"

I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Very satisfied.
Ryan Smith is very professional in many aspects and I appreciated his interest and concern for my situation. I sensed that he truly cared about how he could best sell my home and his concern for me personally. I just wish I could have personally met him and someday I hope that will be a reality.
Overall, Ryan did an outstanding job in marketing the home even though I don't know all the details of all that involved. He proved his honesty and integrity in carrying out all the aspects of the sale and the understanding and kindness expressed to all individuals involved. Rector Hayden is blessed to have him on the team!"

I could ramble on for hours at how impressed I was with Ryan but I won't. I can say one thing it's almost impossible three phone interviews, or getting an Agent off the Internet to be able to determine with your agent is good, lazy, or just out for themselves, I understand the problem very well but I can tell you this will be very happy and satisfied with your decision if you choose Ryan Smith.

"Ryan Smith is a dedicated broker who gives 110% towards what he is doing. He is very professional in his work, as well as very personable. He works completely for the benefit of his client, but is fair in all communications and transactions that take place between the seller and the buyer. Ryan does an excellent job keeping the client informed as to what is happening through phone calls, texting, emails and visits.
Because of his high standard of professionalism and hard work, the farm was sold in a very good time frame.
I would very highly recommend Ryan Smith as a broker to anyone in need of selling or buying property."

Ryan knew what I was interested in purchasing and was able to find exactly what I needed. When problems or situations came up, he went above and beyond to take care of the situation or work out a solution that benefited both the seller and buyer. One of the things that made Ryan stand out was his belief that all parties involved in the selling and buying were treated fairly and not taken advantage of at any time. Ryan constantly kept in touch so that I knew what was taking place in purchasing the property.
