“Real Estate” might as well be Ryan Ryckman’s middle name. There are not enough adjectives to describe how excellent the home buying experience was with Ryan and his team. Being in a new housing market, I didn’t really know much and at first felt like a fish out of water. Ryan and his team provided a steadying calm and a consistent stream of information as I became more and more acclimated to the area. From the get go, Ryan & Christina worked with me to help me identify goals for my new home and gave practical suggestions on where and how to find a place to meet those goals. I can honestly say, there was never a moment of time where I didn’t feel I had the very best representation in my corner. Their consistent and helpful feedback, not only allowed me to understand a diverse, complex, and ever evolving housing market, but enabled me to feel confident, satisfied, and without hesitation excited when it finally came time to buy. In the end, Ryan’s top notch team and representation, helped me to make an informed decision that checked every box for what I was looking for in my first home. Without Ryan and his teams expertise, the home I love and live in now would not be a reality. I found Ryan to be a joy to work with, approachable, patient and thoughtful in our interactions, trustworthy, professional, and timely in his responses. He consistently demonstrated clear and proficient communication, was always courteous, and immensely helpful every step of the way. I was most impressed by Ryan’s relentless tenacity to advocate on my behalf when there were multiple offers on the table. His keen eye for detail, encyclopedia-like knowledge of the industry, makes him a juggernaut of wisdom in the negotiation stage. Really and truly, for all that is listed above and more, Ryan and his team are worth their weight in gold - not only because of their efficiency as realtors, but because of their authenticity as people. If ever I make another purchase in Hampton Roads, I know who to call and would high recommend Ryckman Realty for all of your Realtor needs. Thank you Ryckman Realty for making my homeowner dreams become a reality!
The property we bought was over 50 years old and subject to easements and other quirky issues. Ryan went far above our expectations in resolving these issues so we could go to closing. We thought we would be looking for our new house for a long time but this was one of the first four houses we saw and it was the one. Ryan went out of his way in negotiations and personal service to make it all come together. Ryan is top notch and we would highly recommend him for any real estate transaction. Thanks, Ryan and your team!!
Ryan Ryckman and his team were amazing in helping us buy our home in VA Beach. We were not familiar with area and we were also buying from a distance, but his knowledge, familiarity, and recommendations were absolutely wonderful! We always felt comfortable asking any questions and felt assured that he was giving us accurate information. His kind and friendly demeanor made him a pleasure to work with and made the buying process very simple. With his help, we have found a wonderful new home. We would definitely work with him again and will recommend him to others.
Mr. Ryckman had prevously helped my sister-in-law and her husband in their home search. Their recommendation for Mr. Ryckman and his office was what led us to use him as our realitor. Through the entire process Ryan was super patient as we weren't quite sure we were ready to start searching or hold off for a while. When we were finally ready to jump into our search Ryan and his team were just as ready to assist! They were able to create a search specific to what we were looking for so that as soon as a house we may be interested in came on the market we would know. Though we only looked at one other house besides the one we bought, Ryan was very honest and pointed out potential issues, and things that we may not have seen. He was not looking to just push us into a house, or keep us from buying a house to get a better sale for himself. He had us in mind through the entire process, and made sure we knew we had the final say and whatever we wanted he would back us 100%. We are very pleased with Mr. Ryckman and his team!
Ryan Ryckman was very professional and personable; it was like talking with a friend not a stuffy salesman. He took what could have been a very complicated process and made it relatively simple. I would definitely recommend him.
When Ryan was away for the weekend and a house we really wanted came up, his colleague went to the property and did FaceTime with us so we could see it and put an offer in. It was during the middle of a tornado warning and she still went. Then Ryan drove back home from his vacation to put our offer in. Talk about great teamwork and dedication!! Ryan and his team were great!! Not only were we from out of town which made things harder but We also had very specific needs and when we did find houses we liked that fit our needs we always seem to be just a little too late due to an intense market. He was super patient with us and helped us find the perfect house for us. We are very thankful for Ryan and his team.
This was our second time working with Ryan and Christina Ryckman. We first used their services when buying our home 4 years ago. Ryan was patient, always available, very responsive, extremely knowledgable, and eager to tackle the challenge of our very tight time constraints to find the right home. Christina was excellent at keeping us updated with listings\showings, and checking in on us to see how we were doing throughout the process. They are quite the dynamic duo! So when it came time to list our home for sale this Spring, we knew with full confidence that they were the only realtors we would want to work with. And again they did not disappoint. From excellent communication, to superior photos/videos and advertising, Ryan and Christina Ryckman made the process of selling our home as gentle and seamless as possible! We had a contract on our home after just 24 hours on the market! Ryan and Christina Ryckman build relationships with all of their clients and go above and beyond to meet all of their real estate needs.
