"Jon-Ryan was phenomenal to work with, from beginning to end. Our experience working with him involved the sale of my mom's house and the purchase of a new home. Throughout what could have otherwise been a complicated & stressful process, Jon-Ryan guided us through smoothly and intelligently. I'd describe his character as a unique blend of: remarkable integrity, assertive and results-driven when necessary, and compassionate / his client's best possible advocate. And on top of that, a rich knowledge of the Santa Barbara County housing market. At one point during escrow, Jon-Ryan even offered to lift a hand - and no sooner had my mom accepted his help, but we found him at her property, doing heavy lifting and jumping into her dumpster! He had mentioned something about wanting to do his part to take care of the widows in our community, and well- mission accomplished, Jon-Ryan. We felt like we were given the royal treatment as Jon-Ryan's clients; however, I have it on pretty good authority that he treats all his clients this way. We honestly couldn't have imagined a better experience. Even in the face of the challenges that selling / buying can bring, Jon-Ryan dispersed wise financial advice, creative logistics, and navigated us through to the finish line with strength and confidence."
