About Ryan Nickell

2025 Best of Zillow Recipient with 123+ 5-star reviews o Nextdoor Favorite Agent Santa Clara o #1 Ranked Listing Agent by Volume in Santa Clara by Real Trends o Top 1% awarded by Santa Clara County Association of Realtors® www.timandryan.com 2025 Best of Zillow Recipient o Nextdoor Favorite Agent Santa Clara o #1 Ranked Listing Agent by Volume in Santa Clara Over 123 5-star reviews on Zillow Our reviews highlight the results we consistently achieve. As a result of this comprehensive approach and our attention to detail throughout the preparation, presentation, marketing, and negotiation of every home we sell, over 98% of these homes received multiple offers, regardless of market conditions, with nearly all selling in excess of 10% above their neighborhood average sales prices, over the course of our $200M+ sold in Silicon Valley. 7 Years nationally ranked top 1/2 of top 1%, per Santa Clara County Association of Realtors® (out of 6,000+) We approach every transaction focused on maximizing the return-on-investment of those we assist. Nevertheless, we never lose sight of the fact that behind the financial bottom line is the human one, and we value relationships and our reputation for uncompromising quality above all else. Doing a lot of little things slightly better adds up to make a big difference. 57 Homes sold & remodeled in last 2 years Our greatest pride stems not from the number of homes we have sold but from how we sold them -- our high-touch process -- and the ROI each seller has realized as a result. We love what we do, which is reflected in the considerable time and energy we devote to maximizing the ROI of every home we sell in our uniquely competitive housing market and also helping buyers identify below-market deals and remodel as well. We specialize in Trust Sales, and mainly out-of-area sellers. 2 Credentialed negotiators While most Realtors have little to no credentialed training in negotiation, we both learned and honed these skills through formal education with the Harvard Business School Negotiation Mastery program (Ryan) and extensive experience as an attorney (Tim). $1.8M+ Seller tax savings in past year Investing the time in up-front tax planning with savvy trusted professionals maximized our sellers' realized returns by minimizing Uncle Sam's bite of their profits, specializing in 1031 Exchanges among other time-tested Trust solutions. TV Featured in the fifth season of American Dream TV, a National show highlighting lifestyle and real estate, with this episode focused on high-ROI Silicon Valley remodels.

We decided to have Ryan Nickell represent us as our seller's agent. From the beginning we were on the same page knowing that our home needed the upgrades necessary to compete in the Bay Area market. We worked through the numbers and agreed on an R.O.I. that made sense. Ryan recommended a contractor and managed the entire project. Ryan handled the selection on materials, staging, professional photography, marketing: printed and online. After one weekend of open house, we had multiple offers and selected one we felt good about. Closed on time without a hitch.

My sisters and I really enjoyed meeting and working with Ryan. We saw a couple of Tim and Ryan's "sold" signs in the neighborhood and met with them as a choice of realtor. We immediately felt confident that Ryan knew our neighborhood, and would get the house sold quickly, and he did. Ryan was always in contact with updates and returned my emails very timely. I would definitely recommend Ryan. He was a delight to work with.

Exceptional Support and Expertise in Closing Process I recently had the pleasure of working with Ryan Nickell, who, while not acting as my personal realtor, played an invaluable role in facilitating the closing process for the purchase of my home. From start to finish, Ryan Nickell demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism and expertise that made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Despite not being directly responsible for either party, Ryan Nickell took it upon themselves to ensure that all legal documentation was meticulously prepared and organized. Their attention to detail was truly impressive, and it was evident that they were always on top of every aspect of the process. This proactive approach not only kept things moving smoothly but also instilled a great sense of confidence in both the seller and me. What I appreciated most was Ryan Nickell's ability to clarify each step of the process. Legal jargon and complex paperwork can be overwhelming, but Ryan Nickell took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand. Their patience and willingness to answer all our questions were greatly appreciated and made a world of difference. Overall, Ryan Nickell's support was instrumental in ensuring a successful and timely closing. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and diligent real estate professional. Thank you, Ryan Nickell, for your outstanding assistance and for making this transition as smooth as possible!

Ryan and Tim did an excellent Job marketing this home. They gave strategic advice on getting the home in the best possible position for sale to the Silicon Valley market. Once in contract, their team made it as painless as possible. We closed on time!
