Working with Royston team, and specifically Carli Ryen, was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Carli consistently went above and beyond every step of the way in my buying process to help me find and secure my dream home/property. From listening to target goals, patiently answering all my questions, to providing expert guidance and strategic thinking during negotiations, to ensuring every detail from offer to closing was handled smoothly, Carlis dedication and professionalism truly stand out. I always felt supported, informed, and confident in my buying journey. Carli has tremendous knowledge of her market(s) and has a rolodex stacked with reputable businesses that she can recommend for any repair and/or renovation needs, which Ive used several times with great outcomes! I couldnt recommend Carli Ryen more highly and would love to work with her for any future sell/purchasing needs!

Karl and his team were a fantastic group to work with on finding our new home! The were extremely knowledgeable, caring of our needs and excellent communicators at all steps of our home buying experience. We truly trusted them with finding us our perfect home even while ourselves could not make the trip out to Bremerton to view the homes that they put together for us. The went above and beyond with customer service for us and catered to us making sure we were appraised at all times while beeing thousands of miles away. Not many realtors are good at this, except Karl and his team are! Thank you!

We highly recommend working with the Royston Team if you are looking to purchase a home! They were so patient and attentive as they helped us find our dream home. Karl understands all that goes into being in the military, so it was nice to have someone on our side who could advocate for our situation. It was also such a pleasure working working with Julie. She was always ready and happy to show us tons of homes on short notice and was so kind/down to earth to be around. Their whole team was responsive and truly went above and beyond for us. Because of them, we were able to buy the perfect house near the water as our first home and we are forever grateful for them. They are the ones to work with if you need a realtor in Kitsap County!

Carli helped sell our house last summer and she was excellent. We appreciate her patience and professionalism. She has knowledge of local areas and knew exactly what my house needed to sell quick. Everything ran smoothly and Carli got my house sold quick!

Recently worked with Shari and Carli on a complex and difficult transaction, due mostly to the uniqueness of the house and the repairs and updates needed to make it attractive for sale. Carli worked tirelessly to coordinate everything that was needed, and she had a network of quality people she could call to do the projects. I was happy with their work as well as her work and ultimately was very pleased with the value we were able to get. Highly recommend. Thanks Shari and Carli!!
