How was your experience with Ryan: “Above Expectations”

Ryan is knowledgeable in the Comox Valley Real Estate market, was easy to work with, and certainly facilitated the sale of a house there under challenging conditions.

Brian Harrison (Seller)


Ryan, Andrea and Terri did an exceptional job in assisting us with the purchase of our home. We knew that we required someone not only with the knowledge and expertise, but also someone we could fully trust, as it was our first time buying real estate remotely. Ryan always took the time to answer all the questions we had in a timely, and honest manner. It was clear that he was motivated to not just helping us buy any home, but one that would truly suit our needs as a family. His wife, Andrea, also did a phenomenal job showing us the homes via video, paying careful attention to details that we would have otherwise missed. They were our eyes on the ground, and we felt very reassured that we were in good hands, making the process of remote purchasing much less stressful, despite the highly competitive market out there. All in all, Ryan and his team really went above and beyond, ensuring nothing got missed and we felt very supported every step of the way. Highly recommend!!

Relocating and selling after 48 1/2 years can be difficult. Purchasing while exhausted is hard too. Ryan (and the team) was patient, listened and worked hard to find what we needed. We felt bad dragging him all over! His response was “It’s my job to find you your home! Don’t feel bad” We were looking in a very difficult market with specific needs. As we looked we had to change our minds and Ryan bent over backwards to help! He found us a home and we couldn’t be happier! We are very grateful and very impressed!

Ryan is very knowledgeable about the market, what makes a property salable and seemingly lots of industry contacts so the the sale went very quickly. Also very good advice on price negotiations. There are very good reasons why Ryan is one of the top realtors in the Comox Valley – knowledgeable, personable, widely connected in the real estate community and gentle. The latter is a real bonus for people who are nervous about such large financial decisions. Thank you!

Ryan is courteous, efficient and very knowledgeable about the market. Many thanks, Ryan for completing the sale of our Mount Washington property in a very efficient and timely manner. It was a pleasure having you working for us.

Archie Campbell (Mount Washington Seller)

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ryan was easy to work with, organized and made the process very efficient for us. Since Mt.Washington is an hour drive, being efficient was important and having a realtor that was very accessible and responsive by phone/email was crucial. I’m not sure we would have ended up buying the condo if Ryan wasn’t so quick to deal with questions. Ryan was great. He was very responsive to all our questions and when it came time to get the deal done he really helped guide us through the entire negotiation process while remaining patient.

 Andre Liem (Mount Washington Buyer)

Ryan and his team make buying your home an exciting and enjoyable experience. Always demonstrating professionalism and prompt response to all correspondence, I would not hesitate to recommend Ryan and his team to anyone. He goes that extra mile to make your real estate experience a positive one, he will even carry your baby for you while you take a look at your future home. I would refer Ryan to friends and family because of his professionalism, punctuality and flexibility. Our requests were always accommodated in an expeditious manner.

 Colin Holubowich (Buyer)

Ryan worked odd hours to try and connect with us in a timely manner, we appreciated that, as our schedule is not a regular work week. Ryan’s team was very efficient and diligent with their paper work.  Since we are not from the area, his recommendations for the sale proved to be valuable in saving us time and money.

Denise Soroka (Seller)

Before the sale, Ryan gave us tips to improve a prompt sale, while on sale he kept us in the loop on what was happening, gave us good advice on the different offers, everything with the sale went very smoothly.

Wayne Nelson (Seller)

My family worked with Ryan to both purchase and sell our home in the Comox Valley. In both processes, we were well looked after. Ryan was extremely knowledgeable of the local market and was instrumental in determining a reasonable purchase price and then maximizing our profit on the sell of the same home. A great person to work with and we would definitely recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area. Many thanks Ryan!!

John Coffin (Seller)

Ryan demonstrated a genuine interest in selling our place for us and has a good understanding of what people want whether it is a recreational property or primary residence.

Gary Falck (Mount Washington Seller)

Connecting with Ryan was easy and he was accommodating to meet with us when we traveled from Victoria to Mt.Washington. Ryan stayed in contact, showed our chalet many times in the short time we had it listed and provided feedback from potential buyers.

Laurie Johnson (Mount Washington Seller)

I was most impressed with how well Ryan presented my home on the MLS sites . Very high quality and professional.

Peter Graham (Seller)

Ryan helped us find and close on a home in a very competitive market. Throughout the process he was professional, flexible, and easy to communicate with. We would recommend Ryan to any of our friends and family!

Dustin Fraser (Buyer)

How do I say this…. we were babes lost in the woods…. Ryan’s realtor spouse, Andrea answered my text to see a listing…we were 4 days looking on our own with zero success and much frustration. Connected with another realtor first…no names…but they were predatory and too busy to help a senior couple buy their first home. Andrea took us under her wing, as did Ryan’s team, and we were treated like special people henceforth. I cannot really articulate how wonderful, even with the stress of searching for first home, our experience was, and is, with Ryan and Andrea. It’s refreshing and reaffirming to know that such competent kind business people exist. We cannot thank them enough. I HIGHLY recommend Ryan Real Estate team.

Great Realtor!  Good knowledge of the area!  Great sense of humor.  Was a pleasure working with you Ryan!

Lisa Poulson (Buyer)

Ryan is knowledgeable and professional and also down to earth and we like the autosign technology he uses. It was convenient. We have used Ryan for the last four transactions and have been very happy with his service and we would not hesitate to use him again. His entire team were great and so helpful.

Guy and Jocelyn Praine (Buyers and Sellers)

Ryan has been very accessible throughout this process. He was well prepared for customers from out of town and ensured that we maximized our short window to facilitate a purchase.

My wife and I were transferring to the Comox Valley from a community in Northern BC. We had not spent much time in the Comox Valley and had a limited knowledge of the housing market prior to our move. Adding to the stress of the short purchase window available to us was the fact that this was our first move with a young child. Ryan guided us through the process right from the start. He ensured we were well prepared prior to our arrival. During our house purchase trip Ryan made himself available both pre and post purchase. Ryan was always straight forward and honest with any questions we had and with any advice we sought from him. I would strongly recommend anyone who is moving to the Comox Valley to consider using Ryan.

Hall, G & Spicer, A,  Buyers


In the fall of 2015, we hired Ryan Williams to market and sell our family’s chalet on Mount Washington. From the beginning, he was professional and honest with his assessment of the market and the price needed to sell the property.  His knowledge and expertise of the mountain real estate market instilled confidence that we would finally sell it after six years of being listed with another agent.
Once listed, he took time to market it with quality photos and a video that included important information that we provided to him. During the listing period, Ryan showed the property more than anyone else and to different buyers and it was his efforts who found us the buyer.  We received two offers at the same time and he showed his professionalism once again as he dealt with the multiple offers and Limited Dual Agency situation. An offer was accepted, the subject conditions were lifted in a satisfactory amount of time and we are happy to have sold our home to a good family.
Our family is very grateful for the efforts of Ryan Williams and his team and we highly recommend him for real estate services on Mount Washington.  It was nice to have another option for a successful sale of a Mount Washington property.

Andrea & Drew McEachren, Sellers


Ryan worked very hard for us and made things happen quick when needed; very knowledgable; very easy to get a hold of.  Ryan was referred to us by a co-worker and from our first meeting with him we felt very comfortable. Coming from a different part of BC we were not very familiar with the area but Ryan was very helpful in showing us around. We had specific things we were looking for in a home and Ryan was very quick at understanding our needs and figuring out what we were looking for. We had a very tight deadline and he was able to line up a lot of viewings in the short time we had. Also, he was able to effectively provide us with video tour of few houses when we could not view the house with him. After finding our house, a few issues needed to be dealt with quickly after the inspection and Ryan stepped into action making things happen quickly and effectively to close the deal. Ryan and his team are very professional and we will 100 % refer them to anyone we know looking for a house in the area. 

Denise & Daniel Jean, Buyers


Great communication skills very important to listen to and deliver customers wishes but also gives good professional guidance.

Greg Wein, (Seller)

Staub, Larry & Nora (buyer & seller)


Ryan worked tirelessly for me and with me to get me happy in a home. He was extremely patient and flexible with timings and meeting up. He was always available and made the entire experience a pleasure. I would recommend Ryan to anyone including my parents, best friends and beyond!

Williams, Lewis (Buyer)


As first time buyers it was great to have someone like Ryan to guide us through our house purchase in Comox. He was a patient, informative and wise consul throughout the whole process which went smoothly and quickly due to his hard work and swift communications. I would heartily recomend Ryan and his team to anyone looking for a house in the Comox Valley!

Redway, N. (Buyer)


The Ryan Williams Team really know their market and pricing. Ryan’s advice and suggestions were very effective. I found the team to be very approachable and personable. Ryan was available and reachable at all times and was very prompt in returning phone calls. The team worked very efficiently. The whole experience ran very smoothly from beginning to end. I highly recommend the “Ryan Williams Team”.

Park, P & R (Seller)


Ryan was professional, efficient, honest and a good listener. Ryan made us feel comfortable and he allowed us time to make our decisions but was always willing to assist if asked.

D and D Sloan (Buyers)


Ryan was very patient, knew the area very well, provided us with good information re inspections etc. and was always willing to show us homes when we were in the Comox Valley.

Thank you so much Ryan for helping us to find our dream home and for being so patient with us. Buying a home when you live in another city is very difficult but you made it very easy for us.   We were also very impressed with how you showed a home as you were very respectful of the home being shown and the owners. We would recommmend Ryan to any of our friends and family who hopefully follow us to the beautiful Comox Valley. Thanks Ryan!!!!!

Marcia and Glenn Burdett (Buyers)


Our property was a strata with a number of limitations that narrowed the pool of prospective buyers. Ryan was tenacious and creative in his approach to the sale of the property. My sister and I were tasked with selling our elderly parent’s townhouse. Ryan really knew the market and exposed the property to many potential buyers. He worked extremely well with the strata president and the strata manager to secure us a sale above the asking price.

Elizabeth Phillips (Seller, 2015)


Responsive, works hard, conscientious. Ryan has helped me in buying and selling since 2006. I have worked with several realtors in the past and Ryan is at the top.

Norm Webster & Margo McLeod (Sellers, 2015)


Very professional and knowledgeable. Not pushy at all. Ryan was our realtor when my wife and I bought our home. We had a condo and had Ryan as our realtor too. Our condo sold in three days. Very happy with Ryan and his team’s services.

Kevin & Sherry Moran (Seller, 2015)


My wife and I were very comfortable with Ryan. We did not feel pressured at all and felt that our interests were being looked after. It was really good having Ryan as our realtor. Ryan was very professional throughout the whole process and kept in good contact with us. Do yourself a favour and call Ryan when looking to buy a house.

Kevin and Sherry Moran (Buyer, 2015)


Ryan is simply the very best in the realty business!! Ryan was so very professional and kept us completely up to date on all that was happening with the sale. He was also caring, understanding, personable, kind and very, very patient through the whole process. It was difficult selling our little getaway after 25 years, but having Ryan and Terri right beside us through the whole process made it all so worthwhile and so much easier. We highly recommend both Ryan and Terri to folks who would love to have top notch service and attention when either selling or purchasing. The Remax office in Comox have a wonderful staff to greet and help you when you walk through their door. We were so extremely fortunate to have them both alongside us. Many thanks to Ryan, Terri, and the Remax staff for everything they did for us!

Larry and Dawn Brodie (Seller, 2015)


He had lots of patience, we shopped when we were visiting Comox only, over 4-5 years. He set up our PCS website account . He was very quick in responding to requests for viewing, and to any questions we had about various properties. Throughout our relationship with Ryan he showed a great deal of integrity, patience and we trusted his advice. He also gave good support during and after offer acceptance and the closing procedures.

John & Barbara Neilson (Buyer, 2015)


His follow through in assistance after the purchase completion and possession.

Ryan was recommended to us by a local friend as we were moving here from the mainland and were unsure who to use. He manged to arrange 14 viewings for us in one weekend and was patient with us and our 2 kids throughout the busy 2 days. Once we decided on the property that best fit our family he did a great job of ensuring we were able to meet all the subject removal deadlines as we were not able to be physically present. Where Ryan really stood out has been his assistance with some small issues once we took possession. He has done a great job of helping us enter a new community and shows through his actions how much he values his clients.

Todd and Ingrid Brown (Buyer, 2015)


You were a pleasure to work with. We know going into the Mount Washington real estate market would be challenging but you came through. We appreciate the process and back & forth negotiation required to put together a successful contract. We will recommend you to our friends & would definitely use your services in the future.

John & Diana Scott (Sellers, 2015)


Thank you for your wonderful service. It made the transition from Parksville to Courtenay very smooth.

 

May Crookall (Buyer, Seller)


Ryan was helpful and did not pressure us at all throughout the process of buying our (first) home. He really wanted us to find the best house suited to our needs and budget.  I already recommended Ryan to a friend.

 

Kevin St. Laurent (DND, Buyer, 2012)


Last year, (April 2012), we bought our first house and we had the great pleasure to work with Ryan. As first time home buyers, we couldn’t have wished for someone more comprehensive, professional, reliable, efficient, courteous and patient than Ryan Williams.  We had many, many questions and didn’t know anything about the housing market, but thankfully Ryan was there! Always available to answer our questions and providing us with great advice.  Right away Ryan understood what we were looking for and every houses he showed us respected our budget and preferences. Ryan really found the perfect fit for us! A thing that we were not expecting is that even after the purchase, Ryan is still around, making sure we are settling well and still answering our questions. Wow that is good customer service!
We are more than satisfied with the services Ryan provided us. We knew that Ryan was working with us and for us, not for his own interest. We wouldn’t hesitate one second to recommend Ryan Williams and his team to anyone we know who’s wanting to buy in the Comox Valley.
Merci!  Thank you!

Michael & Emilie Villeneuve (DND buyers – 2012)


We relocated from Italy to the Comox Valley in 2012. As with most DND House Hunting Trips, we only had one week to find and purchase a house – Ryan was instrumental in making this possible. Ryan provided us with exceptional customer service during a most stressful time. Although we were overseas, we were able to communicate frequently through email before arriving and Ryan sent us custom lists of houses that met our specific requirements. Once we arrived in the Comox Valley, Ryan made himself available to us and we were able to view several homes of interest. His knowledge of the various neighbourhoods in the Valley certainly helped us narrow down the locations to look in. Despite our tight timeline, Ryan never made us feel pressured to make a decision. Fortunately, with Ryan’s help, we were able to negotiate the house and price that worked for our family.

Ryan has a passion for his chosen profession – follow-up visits, newsletters and organized client activity days demonstrate his dedication to client relationships, their families and a genuine interest in community relations. In addition to knowing the realty world, Ryan also understands the Brookfield process and attends to the needs of DND families. His team business approach with Jasmen and Chris, allowed for prompt and thorough replies to our inquiries and requests for information.

It would be fair to say that one year later, we couldn’t be happier with our choice of realtor, the house we purchased and the neighbourhood we live in. We would gladly recommend Ryan Williams and his team to anyone moving to the Comox Valley.

Major Dario Rossi & Family (Buyers 2012, DND)


We would like to take the opportunity to thank you for all of your help with purchasing our home when we relocated to the Comox Valley last July (2011). This was our third time using the services of a real estate agent and this has been far our best experience. While our first two experiences started out well, both times the customer service quickly deteriorated.

As you may recall we only had one week to choose a home for our family. It was a very stressful time for us but you made it a lot more bearable. You willingly made yourself available to us despite our tight schedule. You were always very patient, courteous and accommodating in your dealings with us. Our many questions were always answered promptly and efficiently. You demonstrated a comprehensive knowledge of the housing market and you seemed to have a really good sense of the type of home we were looking for. Most of all, we can’t stress enough how much we appreciated your honesty, integrity and genuine interest in our needs. You made us feel as though you really cared about helping us find the perfect home and neighbourhood for our growing family.

We were so pleased to see that your excellent customer service extends well beyond the completion of the sale. You have checked in with us many times since our move last year to ensure we are settling into our new home. We have also enjoyed the invitiations to your customer appreciation events. You obviously take a genuine interest in your clients and their families.

You have demonstrated that you and your family really care about the community. We are thrilled to see that you sponsor a variety of organizatiions, including the soccer league our kids participate in.
We recall you saying that the biggest compliment you receive from your clients is future referrals. We will definitely recommend your services to anyone buying or selling a home in the Comox Valley.

J&M Preston (2011, RCMP)

Ryan is a true professional! His knowledge and interpretation of market trends ensured a positive sale of our home. The whole process of selling one’s home can be filled with tension and anxiety but not with Ryan. His assurance and practical encouragement made our experience great and we would recommend Ryan to all our friends.

 

Shawn & Jacqueline Wilson (Seller, 2009)


We were very impressed with the service we received from Ryan. We met and discussed our plans with Ryan and the very next day he showed us 8 homes; and they all met the criteria we had requested! That very day we found the home we fell in love with. His follow up was great as well – within a week of first seeing the home, we made an offer which was accepted. We will definitely recommend Ryan to any of our family/friends or associates looking to buy (or sell) in the Comox Valley.

 

Judy & Doug Darby (Buyers, 2009)


We just wanted to express how grateful we are for you patience with us. You have shown us many properties and although we haven’t found the investment we are looking for, you continue to work with us. We are really excited to start investing in real estate, but its been hard finding properties that suit our budget – in both time and money.

 

J&S Bohmer (2009)


We are writing to commend you (Ryan) on your help in selling our Mt. Washington condo. We recognize that properties on the hill are geared to a small percentage of the population, making it a market where sales are few relative to the amount of listings in town. We believe your comprehensive service in incorporating personal style, contacts, knowledge of the area and format of listings both electronically and in print lead to our sale in a timely fashion. We have already recommended you to others.
Many thanks, keep up the good work.

 

Ryan is polite, courteous and re-assuring in his manner. He has a quiet confidence when negotiating on behalf of his clients. He has large knowledge base on real estate. He has a good website and newsletter. We also like how he supports community through sport and financial donations.

N & F Mackey


Ryan was a great realtor to work with. His demeanor is extremely approachable, he provides valuable and honest opinions, and he works hard to ensure the satisfaction of his clients. Ryan’s knowledge of the Comox Valley and the real estate industry ensures the best service for buyers and sellers. His professional team and office crew help create a welcoming approach to the wacky world of real estate.
We would not hesitate to recommend Ryan to anyone.
A stand-up job from a stand-up team!

 

Allan & Tara Gornall (Buyer)


We called you to both sell and buy a home here in the Comox Valley as a DND relocation. You immediately paid for someone to stage our home, and ensured excellent customer service throughout our selling and buying process for both homes. You also continually send us news letters and annual invitations to customer appreciation events. My wife and I have bought and sold many homes in most provinces across the country, only to find that at the end of the day most realtors have only had there own interests at heart.
Client referrals are something that realtors depend on, both my wife and I would definitely recommend you to anyone buying or selling a home in the Comox Valley. Your attention to detail and unwavering commitment to look after our best interests can be hard to find. You are patient, courteous and always willing to deal with hard schedules, and time lines.
Your excellent customer service extends well beyond the completion of the sale. You have checked in with us many times since our move to ensure we are settling into our new home. You also manage your time in order to sponsor a variety of organizations, including the soccer league that young children participate in.
If anyone out there is looking for the right realtor, make sure you get the right person for the job the first time around. Ryan is your man.

 

Stew (Sgt,ret) & Michaela Hayes (DND)


Here is our story! It was with a heavy heart that we were posted from Comox with the military, but we knew the adventure would be worth it. Our home had been for sale for several months and we were at the minimum price we could drop to for the sale, without having to owe money to the bank on closing. Our situation was desperate! Then our Realtor left for her posting as well. We didn’t waste any more time, and we asked a friend to refer us to a realtor who could move our home on to it’s next loving owner. They said that Ryan Williams and his team could get the job done, and they were right! Although it took a few more months than expected, Ryan and his team worked tirelessly at finding the right buyers! Come the closing date, we were elated to have the home sold, and know that the Williams team had done everything right! We would recommend their up right, straight forward style of business to anyone who wanted a no nonsense transaction. From start to finish they dealt with us with respect, honesty and integrity. They handled my questions and concerns with the type of attitude befitting the highest standards of regard. In-spite of the frustration that my wife and I were expressing and experiencing due to holding an extra mortgage, and having to sell over a great distance (we had already moved to our Ontario posting), the Williams team surpassed all expectations, and have certainly earned our gratitude for a job well done. Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you!

Chantel & Dan Pasieka (Sellers/ DND)


Working with you and having you take the time to get to know us, has once again made our trip very worthwhile, relaxed and efficient as always.

Ken & Eunice (Buyer x2, Seller)


Very professional, very thorough!

Marie and Vern (Sellers)


Very concientious and amiable personality. Went out of his way to accommodate us.
 

Robert & Alice (Seller and Buyer)


Thank you so much, Ryan. We are very happy with our purchase. You were extremely flexible, patient, helpful and kind. We look forward to keeping in contact with you and would definitely refer a friend to your services.

 

Brian & Julie (Buyer)


Thank you for helping us along the way. I was amazed how quick you would show me houses. I felt supported and thought I was in good hands. We also appreciated your help after we were in our new home.

 

Elvira and Isabella (Seller and Buyer)


Ryan went above and beyond at all stages – from the initial search to the closing.

 

Norm (Buyer)


My grandparents want to thank you for all your assistance; especially during the long process while [grandma] was in Chile. Thank you for being a human being prior to being a sales person. Thank you for all your help.

 

Daniel Parent (grandson of seller)


Ryan was friendly and easygoing. We felt he was very open, honest and trustworthy. Ryan got the job done efficiently and we had complete confidence in his abilities. We would recommend Ryan as a realtor for anyone else.

 

Dave & Hanna (Seller x2, Buyer x2)


Ryan was extremely pleasant to work with. He went out of his way to help us get what we want. He offered to help in ways beyond the “call of duty.” It was a pleasure to meet him and work with him.

 

Megan and Pat (Buyer x3, Seller x3)


…time was not wasted and we had an enjoyable day dealing with a professional, hard working gentleman with a great sense of humour.

 

Peter & Valerie


We met Ryan and told him of our long term plan to relocate.  For over 1 1/2 years, Ryan sent us pertinent information on a regular basis.  Others promised to do that, but they did not.  Once we were in the Comox area, Ryan spent a great deal of his time assisting us, at unusual hours sometimes, with little encouragement of success with difficult clients (us).  RE/MAX is privelaged to have such a dedicated gentleman.
