If you want a real estate agent who will take care of you like your best friend, then Ryan is your man. His market timing was perfect. He did an amazing job photographing our property. Ryan provided the comparables and information for us to select a price. He recommended what to do inside the house for the best presentation. He listed the house and got multiple offers the next day. Ryan kept us calm during the negotiations when the buyer’s agent did his job, for his clients, by trying to get credit for anything that wasn’t perfect in the house, after the initial offer. Thirty one days, from the listing to the closing. What more could we want? Well let me tell you. He sold the house for $15,000.00 more than we listed it for. I can’t express how happy I am with my decision to sell with Ryan. He was flawless!

This is the second transaction I’ve happily and successfully executed with Ryan, most recently I sold my home with Ryan Benson during the COVID-19 pandemic and to my surprise...he was still able to get my full asking price! He is a tough negotiator, and after this second transaction..he will be the only person I’ll call for my next purchase.
by jay4360
Ryan did a great job advocating for me with my home purchase in Atascadero. He's very on top of his communication and was quick to let me know if I needed to do something to keep the process moving. Two months in I feel like we paid the right price and I haven't found a lot of surprises that would make me feel otherwise. Ryan knows how to negotiate and really made a difference when it came to getting the best deal possible.
by OliviaLeigh6
Ryan made purchasing my first home an absolute dream. He spent extra time making sure I understood the whole process and got all of my questions answered. He was always available when I called and was such a pleasure to work with. He had my best interest at heart the whole time and went above and beyond my expectations. I wish I could give him 10 stars. If you are looking for a real estate agent, Ryan is the man for you!
by evaklembarova
Ryan represented me with the purchase of my home. He explained everything clearly every step of the way. He is friendly and has all the knowledge and expertise you would want in a realtor.
by michelle medawar
If I could give him more than 5 stars, I would. Ryan recenlty helped me find and buy my condo. The process was seamless! He was great at communication, informing me of processes, deadlines and his knowledge of the local market was very helpful. I will call upon him again when buying or selling again.
by zuser20170212073957116
The best real estate agent on the Central Coast! He will make finding your dream house his personal goal and do whatever it takes to find the perfect place within your budget. I have purchased five homes with Ryan and he has exceeded my expectations every time!

Ryan was a pleasure to work with. He really goes above and beyond! I've worked with many agents before and this was by far the smoothest most enjoyable home buying process.
by staceycolvin6
Ryan was very professional and knowledgeable as he guided me through the process of selling my home. He went above and beyond in helping me prepare for placing my home on the market and advised me on any updates or changes I was required to make to expedite the sell of my home. Best experience ever. I appreciate all his assistance. He negotiated a good selling price and I walked away with extra change in my pocket.
by Teresa Courtney
Ryan Benson arrived to initial meeting well prepared, was extremely knowledgeable of our area. Ryan was efficient and always responsive even when he had 3 closings the same week! He jumped on getting our yard cleared within a day and had an inspector come out to the house the day after. He had the ball rolling before we left town and there was NO doubt we chose the best person to represent us! His professionalism and knowledge of the market were evident throughout the process. Ryan is a skilled negotiator, securing a great deal for us. We had a smooth and successful experience with Ryan and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a real estate agent. Show less
