FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Know your budget and comfort level on monthly payment. Once you have this, you can focus on areas and properties that fit this profile. All to often, buyers start looking at their dream homes before they know what they can actually afford comfortably, and then get discouraged when they find out those properties are out of reach for them.
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
Plan for success. Prep the home to look its best. Declutter, fresh paint, deep cleaning, and staging work wonders! Then, we can use our 3 phased marketing approach to get the most exposure and sell for top dollar in the least amount of time.
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
Ryan specializes in first-time homebuyers, real estate investors, VA buyers, move-up buyers and sellers, downsizing homeowners, and clients relocating to San Diego from other major metro areas.
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
I met a young couple that had been searching for their first home off an on for a while. They had a limited budget but were motivated and ready to find their first home together in San Diego. I found a property that fit their needs, but it was already under contract. I contacted the agent to see how that transaction was going, and just so happens it was about to cancel. I got my clients in to view the home and got an offer submitted before they went back on the open market. My clients offer was accepted and we closed escrow 3 weeks later!
5. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
Based on MLS production, transaction history, and verified sales volume, Ryan Main ranks within the top 5% of real estate agents in San Diego. He holds the ABR®, CPS, and SRES® designations.

He made the entire process for me so stress-free even though I was on a time deadline, not knowing if I will have a roof over my head at the end of that deadline. His compassion to help and serve his client is just amazing. Knowing how to get things done and staying on top of it. He helped me to achieve my "American Dream" in record time. I will be forever grateful.

I cant say enough about how delighted I am with the stellar service Ryan provided during out long home search. He sat with us to talk about the kind of home we wanted, our budget, and our plans. He suggested homes and neighborhoods that would suit us well. Ryan clearly has an excellent understanding of the real estate market and that translated into a continuously great experience for us. Then the pandemic hit. Open houses shut down, but Ryan was always gracious and accommodating while scheduling and showing us homes. He was always available to us and his comments on homes and prices were invaluable to us. When we found a great home, he made the process of offer, escrow, and closing very smooth. I never felt the need to worry about following up on every detail as I had with other homes. It was a true pleasure to work with Ryan. He was professional, personable, and kept our needs foremost in everything he did. If I ever need a realtor again, I know who to call.

Entire process from looking at potential homes to closing went off without a hitch. Ryan kept me abreast of any potential issues and offered solutions for resolution. He also was honest about potential homes that may not be a great fit for my needs or that may present challenges for resell down the line. I can't imagine the buying process being any easier and hassle-free.
