If you fall in love with Carmel and the cute cottages there and would like to buy one so you can live your dream life there one day, then Ryan is the best person to contact. I met Ryan about 6 months ago at an open house where he was the selling agent of a cute Carmel cottage. He was so knowledgeable about Carmel, the house he was selling, and so honest and fair. I did not end up getting that house because it sold so fast with multiple offers. But I knew Ryan is someone I can trust to help find my dream Carmel house, which he did this week, so I feel so fortunate to have met him. I am now a happy owner of a cute Carmel cottage in a great location in town. Ryan helped me buy this house off market so I did not have to compete with anyone. The whole process was easy because Ryan is the best in his profession. Hes responsive and nice and fun to work with, a friend you want to have if you live in Carmel because he knows everybody and is a great resource for all your house related needs.

So, I have this vacation property in Pebble Beach, CA I was thinking of selling. After meeting with several local realtors, I had all but convinced myself it would be far easier to hold onto the place. Enter Ryan Melcher: Outgoing, humorous, self-deprecating, easy to talk to, a glass-half-full kind of guy...these were my first impressions. But after speaking with him for some time, he also struck me as a serious agent who is passionate about real estate, knows the business, knows the area, does his homework, and brings to the table a winning strategy unique to MY property. He proved my assessment correct. I gave him my listing and in return, he brought me multiple offers, contingent-free offers, cash offers, all within a matter of days. Throughout the transaction, he and his team were organized, accommodating, approachable, reachable, friendly, responsive and professional. They made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. My thanks to Ryan and the entire team at Ryan Melcher Properties. I am a very grateful and satisfied client.

We recently worked with Ryan Melcher on the purchase of our new home in Carmel. Having grown up in Carmel Ryan is extremely knowledgeable about the area and the aEURoecharming nuancesaEUR? of homeownership in the village. He always provided superior guidance and substantial background data to support our decisions. He has an urgent but relaxed demeanor that fit our buying style perfectly. Several times during the purchase process Ryan made himself available on short notice and always seemed to know how to make scheduling convenient for all. His follow up after the sale has been as great as during the purchase frequently filling in for us with various contractors and services to make sure our move goes smoothly. Everyone who wants an honest and high integrity agent with a great support team needs to engage Ryan Melcher.

Ryan is one of the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. He is smart, quick, responsive and always have the best interest of the client in mind. He was able to close a near impossible deal for me that only Ryan could close. You will not find a better agent than Ryan. Ryan got my business for years to come and he will always be my agent for any real estate needs. Thank you Ryan.
