ZillowVERIFIED I had an excellent experience working with Ryan as my realtor as a first time home buyer. He was very knowledgeable and had the answers to all of my questions and concerns going through the home buying process making me feel very comfortable and confident throughout. He was always available to me and walked through the whole process with me start to finish. I will be using him in the future when it is time to sell my home and purchase another. I highly recommend him to others, his customer service and experience is unmatched.

ZillowVERIFIED Ryan is so outstanding our family has made him our "go to" agent for buying and selling for a number of years now. Whether you are buying/selling a cottage or a mansion you will receive the same dedicated service and care. He goes beyond what I ever expected from an agent, making the whole process so much easier, with as little stress as possible. Also, he is just a wonderful, upstanding person and a joy to work with.

ZillowVERIFIED Ryan made buying our first home a much easier and less scary process. I felt like he genuinely cared about how the homes we looked at would affect our lives and help us to make a good decision on which one would work best for our goals.

ZillowVERIFIED We have worked with Ryan in the past and most recently in the listing and sale of our home. Ryan is extremely knowledgeable in all areas needed for the process of home sales. He draws from an extensive background of experience and understands what is needed from the sellers and buyers perspectives. Ryan is confident, caring, knows all aspects of the business and this carried over to us as the seller. He was spot on with assessment of our property and helped guide us through decisions to be made. Ryan was very responsive to our questions and needs and facilitated working with buyers agent regarding timing of closing issues so it would be a win-win for both parties. Ryan's team was also professional and efficient as well as a pleasure to work with. There is no question this is the agent we would go to again!

ZillowVERIFIED Ryan and his team were fantastic, they helped us close on our first home. As first time home buyers we we're so lucky to find Ryan. He was accommodating, thorough and above all communicative. He asked great questions to help clarify what we were looking for. When it came to touring houses he was methodical about pointing out things for us to observe and consider such as piping, electrical, and foundation; things that we newbies might overlook if we get too wrapped up in aesthetics. Ryan's experience was so valuable to us; he was quick to update us on real estate news and recommend needed supports when the time was right. I've heard horror stories of the homebuying process but truly with Ryan and his team's help, it went so smoothly for us. On the day we toured the home we just knew should be ours, every team member jumped in to help get our offer considered and accepted. We highly recommend him for anyone looking!!

ZillowVERIFIED Ryan Karns went above and beyond our expectations. He was very professional and also connected with us on a personal level. He asked many questions to get to know us and really understand what we were looking for in a home. He was super duper fast at responding to our questions and needs. He helped us gain knowledge in other aspects not even related to the home itself. We could not be happier in our new home. It is absolutely perfect and we could not have found our dream home without the help of Ryan Karns. Michelle Karns and Sheila Elwell were also helpful in assisting with extra questions we had during the home buying process. We would highly recommend Ryan Karns to all of our friends and family who are looking to purchase a home. Thank you so much Ryan!!!

ZillowVERIFIED Ryan knows real estate! He helped me through the whole process with selling my house. He did his research and got my house sold in 17 days. If you want to get expert advice and have a smooth transaction, be sure to use Ryan.

Review for Member: Ryan Karns
ZillowVERIFIED Our transaction went pretty seamless. He knew what price to list our home at and we had a successful open house weekend and were under contract with buyers within a week (5 days actually). He calmed my fears when I had them, is very straight forward and experienced in what he does which made me feel more confident as a seller. I would definitely recommend him and his team to other friends and people inquiring about a good realtor. He and his team are down to earth, realistic, easy to communicate with and understand the business very well. I have no negative things to say.

Review for Member: Ryan Karns
ZillowVERIFIED Ryan helped us sell not one but, three different houses. After Ryan helped us sell two rental houses (one in Enumclaw and one in Tacoma) we asked him to represent us in selling our own home in Maple Valley. We've been able to count on his expertise and knowledge of the current market trends to get the right price (higher than we expected) and his knowledge of local requirements (did you know older homes in Tacoma need to have a sewer scan) really impressed us. He's also an excellent negotiator so if you want an expert on your side call Ryan.

ZillowVERIFIED I can't say enough good things about Ryan. He is truly amazing. This was my first time dealing with real estate, so admittedly, I was pretty green to the whole experience, and ours was a complicated with many moving parts. With every step, Ryan was 'on it' at every step. His willingness to go above-and-beyond was not only helpful but did so keeping my best interest at hart. You can engage him knowing that he will do top for you, as he did for me. My many thanks to him and his staff.

ZillowVERIFIED We appreciated that Ryan was enthusiastic about selling our home and encouraging to us during the process. He helped us to understand our home's true value. We had not sold a home for many years and had questions all along the way. Ryan was able to provide immediate answers to all our concerns. We felt confident in his knowledge and experience and would recommend him and his wonderful associate Sheila wholeheartedly.

ZillowVERIFIED This is the 3rd transaction I've had with Ryan in 3 years, he's sold 2 of our houses, and helped us purchase one. He's extremely knowledgeable, up-front, honest, and an excellent communicator. I've dealt with other agents, and Ryan blows them all out of the water. I'd highly recommend him.

ZillowVERIFIED Ryan was highly professional and extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the home buying process. He was easy to contact and answered all of our questions with useful information. He worked well with his team Michelle, Sheila, and Jason (our lender), who were in constant communication during the home buying process. Someone was always available to show us houses, even on short notice. I would highly recommend Ryan and his team to anyone who wants to find a quality house at a reasonable price.

ZillowVERIFIED Ryan helped us to purchase our first home, and 6 years later he helped us sell that home. He's a very honest agent who will keep you in constant communication, tell you exactly what to do and what to look out for.

ZillowVERIFIED Sold two homes and bought land with the help of Ryan and his team. Both sales were excellent experiences and the purchase was too easy. Both sales had issues with "picky" buyers and they were able to still move the process along. I have already sent friends looking to buy his way.

ZillowVERIFIED Ryan and his team are a God Send! I found Ryan on numerous Zillow reviews and everyone was spot on! Ryan is responsive, transparent, and a great negotiator. I had 2 problem rental properties that gave me nightmares and Ryan and his team came into the picture and sold one and now the 2nd one is in contract! I am so lucky to have found Ryan and I will continue to sing his praises. You are truly the BEST!!!!!

ZillowVERIFIED Ryan and his team understand each step of purchasing a home and communicate needs well in advance. We never felt uninformed or in the dark as to exactly where we were in the process. I will recommend everyone I know to use the Karns team for all real estate needs now and moving forward.

ZillowVERIFIED We cannot say enough good things about Ryan and Michelle! They were both incredibly knowledgable, easy to get ahold of and available to show properties as they came on the very competitive market. They were excellent communicators and educated us on each property and through every step of the entire process. Most importantly, it was evident that they were considering us and our family in the homes they showed us and were protecting our best interest. In the end, they found us our dream home in a wonderful neighborhood, and made it ours. Thank you, Karns!

ZillowVERIFIED Buying a property these days can be quite challenging, and you need a realtor who has your back. Ryan Karns is definitely that person! Super friendly, intelligent, competent, very professional. He "held our hands" through every step of the process, always very responsive to our questions. Turn-around time on phone and email queries was always prompt. And I am certain that his friendly and professional image played a significant factor in our ability to secure this condo. I give him my highest recommendation!

Review for Member: Ryan Karns
ZillowVERIFIED Ryan and Michelle are by far the best realtors we have ever worked with. From the beginning to the end they were professional, knowledable, and genuine. We were moving down from Alaska and took a week off from work to come look at houses. They cut out an entire week of their time to show us every single house we wanted to see. The market was hot and homes were getting snatched up right and left for way over price. They were able to get us into our dream home for UNDER market value and were also able to negotiate in the closing costs and washer/dryer. They went above and beyond to make sure we got exactly what we wanted! Once our offer was accepted their excellent service didn't end there. They attended our home inspection and made sure we got all the information about the utility companies. Once we arrived in Washington to move in they greeted us at the house with baskets of home goodies. We had just flew in so we didnt have even the basics for our first night. And to top it all all off they even let us borrow a vehicle to bring home a mattress. Thank you so much Michelle & Ryan!!!

ZillowVERIFIED Ryan was recommended to me by a co-worker, we worked for about 8 months to find the right house. He is incredibly knowledgeable and very honest about what he sees and the situation. His negotiating and creativity helped me get into the house that I had been waiting to find. I have and will continue to highly recommend Ryan to anyone serious about buying or selling.

Review for Member: Ryan Karns
ZillowVERIFIED Ryan Karns and his team are absolutely the best realtors we have ever had. For the first time ever working with a realtor, we actually felt like he was on our side. In past experience it seemed our realtors were telling us to "list low" and "buy high" to get a quick sale. This is not the case with Ryan...he knows the market and will help you get the most for your home if you are selling and pay the least if you are buying. It is so nice to have someone to trust! Thank you Ryan!

ZillowVERIFIED Ryan was a huge help as we were first time buyers and did not know the "ropes" of the home buying process. He was patient and walked us through each step and made us feel like we were thoroughly up on what was going on. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home!

ZillowVERIFIED I would recommend Ryan to anyone looking to buy or sell. Never disappointed us, always prompt and ready when we needed him. And if he wasn't available he made sure someone was there for us. Aside from all the other hurry up and wait times with other processes of buying a home. Ryan made this a smooth operation. The best!!

Review for Member: Ryan Karns
ZillowVERIFIED When looking to buy a house I was all over the map. I wanted to live on a lake, then I wanted to build, then I wanted a fixer upper, then land and so on. Ryan was available daily to answer questions and point out the goods and beads in ever situation. When k waned to make offers Ryan walked through the process and was more than willing to include any random things I wanted to put in the offer. Throughout my entire experience Ryan was available, helpful and understanding. When he should have been frustrated with me, he was professional and respectful. I would strongly recommend Ryan Karns and his team in your next real estate purchase or sale.

ZillowVERIFIED I can't imagine what the home buying process would have been with anyone else other than Ryan. My husband and I are first time home buyers, and that can be extremely intimidating. Ryan made everything extremely easy, and on top of that, fun. He truly cares that his clients invest in a home that is the best fit for them, and I think that is rare. I would recommend him to any friend or family member, because I really think he works to find people their perfect home, as he did for us. If I could rate him higher than 5 stars, I totally would. Thanks for all you did for us!

Review for Member: Ryan Karns
ZillowVERIFIED Ryan is the agent we chose to re-list our house, after not selling during the first listing. He and his team came to us with a very professional, detailed presentation of data about our house, the neighborhood, comparable sales, etc. He had a plan for the listing, and the house was on the market in a matter of a few days, with beautiful pictures online. Our house sold that very first day, at our asking price! Thank you SO much to Ryan and his team for their impressive work, and for assisting us so well with us being out of town. Cannot recommend highly enough!!

Review for Member: Ryan Karns
ZillowVERIFIED We found Ryan on Zillow and asked him to show us a house we really liked. He showed us that house and several others. He was punctual and often had extra information about several listings that we found helpful. We won a multiple offer situation thanks to Ryan. Through the entire process, Ryan was focused on our needs and proved to be an excellent listener. In purchasing a judicial foreclosure, the deal was long and long(!) Ryan didn't give up and in the end, we finally reached closing on the house we really wanted. We would recommend Ryan for his professionalism, knowledge of the area (Lake Tapps) and his responsiveness.

Review for Member: Ryan Karns
ZillowVERIFIED Ryan helped us buy a new house and sell our current house. We would highly recommend him for anyone needing an expert real estate professional. He and his assistant Sheila, were great to work with! They were responsive, patient (we asked a lot of questions), communicated well, and most importantly they know what they are doing. We believe Ryan always had our best interests at heart and genuinely was helping us find our dream home where our kids would grow up and he wasn't just trying to sell us a house. We were also very pleased with the sale of our house. It was as he predicted - if you stage it like Sheila suggests, take great pictures and price it right, the house will sell fast. We sold within the first week and had multiple people interested. Bottom line, if we ever have to buy or sell another house again we wouldn't hesistate to call Ryan.

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I recently listed and sold our house of 15 years with Ryan. We have known Ryan on a personal level as a friend for at least this long and know him to be an honest, attentive and loyal friend - and now we have the same opinion of him professionally. Ryan handled everything in our transaction smoothly, calmly and quickly. No unnecessary drama - just the facts and/or his professional opinion he has built over the last decade+ of his real estate career. Process couldn't have gone any smoother. Whether you are buying or selling - put your faith in Ryan. He will not disappoint.

ZillowVERIFIED Ryan Karns and Sheila worked hard to get us everything we wanted. We sold our home within a month with ease. I appreciate their hard work and dedication to get the job done. We were already out of state during the process and they were able to hire people to bring our home to market standards. Their photographer was also fantastic.

ZillowVERIFIED I had a 'trouble house' that I needed to sell. I went thru a few agents before I found Ryan. He's a champion at his profession. Many quirky obstacles surfaced thru the process and Ryan knew exactly how to handle them all. He ALWAYS got back to me right away-even when he was at a family funeral I found out at a later time. If you choose Ryan you choose wisely!
