ZillowVERIFIEDI interviewed three different agents before settling on Ryan. He impressed me with his knowledge of the local market and what potential buyers would be looking for. During the process of negotiation and making it through escrow, he had good advice, and I was very happy with the offer I accepted.

ZillowVERIFIED I found Ryan through a flier that came through the door and I'm so happy I decided to reach out. I interviewed 3 different agents and decided to go with Ryan with a gut feeling that they seemed like really good people that wanted to help me sell my house at the highest price without me spending a ton of unneccessary money. That gut feeling was right =] the whole process was amazing with his team, they actively negotiated for me, and they were so so communicative (in fact, many times I was the one being slow to reply!) I was overseas so was initially a bit worried I would be completely out of the loop but they made it seamless and effortless for me and I am forever grateful. We closed on a really good price all thanks to his great team.

ZillowVERIFIED Ryan and his team provided top-notch real estate services during the sale of our family property in Santa Clara. Ryan's ability to navigate market conditions, develop effective listing strategies, and respond to buyer feedback made the sales process smooth and successful. Our family is grateful for his thoughtful guidance and professionalism throughout all phases. He kept us informed every step and brought a sense of calm to what can naturally be a stressful process. Highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a trustworthy real estate professional who develops and implements effective plans to maximize your home's value.

ZillowVERIFIED I had no idea selling a house could be so easy! Ryan took the time to understand our goals, walked through the property with us, and then handled everything from there. He presented our home beautifully, managed every detail of the process, and kept us informed with friendly, professional updates every step of the way.

ZillowVERIFIED Wed seen Ryans advertisements and were particularly impressed by his track record of being under contract in an average of eight days. Through every stage of the process, Ryan and his team made sure that all details were managed in order to have the house listed on a pretty aggressive timeline. In the sale of our house, he absolutely exceeded our expectations! Not only did he bring us multiple offers, but he had them to us in six days at well above asking price! Ryan is a solid negotiator, a consummate professional and the realtor anyone would want managing the sale of their home. Were we getting back in the market, he would be the first one we would call.

ZillowVERIFIED Sold single family home in San Jose in 2026. Mom and Dad pass. I assume responsibility of family trust and sale of family home. I live four hundred miles away and have radiation therapy five days a week. So, l meet and choose Ryan Nickells as my realtor. Ryan talks me through every step of house sale from options, costs, remodeling, inspections, documentations, bids and closing. Our home, once remodeled, goes on the market and sells within a week ALL thanks to RYAN.

ZillowVERIFIED It was awesome working with Ryan and his team. They are incredibly knowledgeable, and fun and easy to work with. As a seller, they helped me get my house in top shape in a short amount of time to be ready to go on market. They are classy and have great taste when it comes to remodeling. They have a winning strategy and a great team that can get things done quickly and efficiently. Ryan guided me through some crucial points when I needed to make a decision, and I'm grateful for his guidance, without which my house would have had difficulty selling. I would definitely work with them again if I have the opportunity.

ZillowVERIFIED We sold our Santa Clara townhome with the help of Ryan and the ROI Team. Ryan brought a ton of local knowledge and years of expertise. We particularly liked the relaxed communication style and his willingness to explain details, sometimes more than once, of what can be an overwhelming process to folks that have not sold a home in many years. Looking for an agent? You should check out his website, watch the videos, and give Ryan a call.

ZillowVERIFIED Ryan is the key reason we were able to successfully purchase our first home! Ryan was responsive and patient during the entire nerve-wracking offer process. He guided us through the offer process, giving us insight into what a seller sees and what constitutes a winning offer, without pressure to overbid. Ryan offered support before, during, and after closing. Highly recommended and would work with him again in the future!

ZillowVERIFIED Ryan was very responsive and helpful in the process of getting the home ready for sale (- presale checklist of considerations, having a well oiled team to execute on items to address, inspections, staging). He was very helpful after the home went on the market - advice on pre-emptive offer, walking through the pros and cons of the various offers. The entire process went very smoothly and quickly.

ZillowVERIFIED Ryan did an amazing job when we decided to sell our house. Ryan was able to get an above asking price offer within days of going on the market. Ryan really knows the Santa Clara / San Jose area, and that knowledge turned into great success for us. Ryan advised us on what we needed to do to the property, and he was 100% correct with his recommendations. Highly recommend Ryan if you're buying or selling in the Santa Clara area.

ZillowVERIFIED Ryan was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. Their ideas for the remodel were excellent and they have their fingers on the pulse of the neighborhood, understanding the demographics who would most likely be buying our house. During the remodel, they provided quick access to excellent resources (builders, landscaping, design, etc) The upgrades done on the house netted us a significantly higher sale price than what we could have expected with an aEURoeas isaEUR? sale. As far as the sale itself, It was complicated as we were splitting the proceeds into two separate trusts, one of which was a Charitable Remainder Trust to help offset the tax burden. Ryan connected us with great financial and legal people who specialize in this type of work and helped us navigate the entire process successfully. All in all, we were very happy we chose Ryan as our realtor and were thrilled with the results. We would recommend them to anyone who wants to get the most out of the sale of their house.

ZillowVERIFIED I met Ryan at a listing that my girlfriend Michelle told me about I recently inherited my grandparents property after my mother passed away last year. I met with Ryan and I talked about what I was looking for and he gave me a lot of information and then we met over at the property and we went over what he thought we should do and I agreed, and the process started with some simple renovations of Updating the kitchen and the bathrooms and doing some landscaping in the backyard and my handyman jumped in and did the painting of the inside, completely changing the color to a brighter color. Ryan kept me appraised to everything that was going on throughout the whole process. Everything was ready to go we staged it took photos. Open house was complete and offers started coming in. It was more than I expected, and he was so wonderful through the whole process Ive never sold the property before, so he walked me through everything even the closing And we just sold the property as of 7/18/2025 for 300,000 over the listing I would definitely use Ryan again his knowledge of Santa Clara and his knowledge of selling real estate was perfect for what I was looking for.

ZillowVERIFIED We recently purchased a home that had been partially renovated by Ryan, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from start to finish. Both our agent and we had a very difficult time dealing with Ryan, who was uncooperative throughout the process. To make matters worse, the seller was equally rude and dismissive. The so-called aEURoerenovationaEUR? work done by Ryan was superficial at best. The floors were poorly installed with visible gaps, tiles were laid unevenly, and the newly renovated bathroom already had an active leak. The free-standing vanity was awkwardly crammed into a corner and sealed on one side with white cementaEUR"a clear indication of cutting corners and ignoring quality craftsmanship. If youre considering a property renovated by Ryan, be very cautious. The flashy updates may look good at first glance, but beneath the surface, the work is subpar and may lead to costly repairs. Buyer beware when it comes to these cheap, cosmetic flips.

ZillowVERIFIED 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.

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.

ZillowVERIFIED 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!

He took care of everything to the point that I didn't even have to visit the property. What could have been difficult and stressful was actually easy.

ZillowVERIFIED Ryan and Tim waere great to work with and their knowledge of process and local market was a blessing. Ryan was always available and had answers to most of my clarifying questions. Ryan found answers to super complex questions quickly showing experience and resources. Tim was a great grounder and strategist; Tim complemented Ryan for complete service. I was in a tight spot of no-time, out-of-country traveling, house needed work before listing, changes to title before sale - owner->trust->llc->sale transactions to be handled. Lots of complexities from seller cooperation etc. etc. I passed the keys to Ryan and Tim and walked away. They were we always super cooperative, positive and methodical (never made shortcuts). Tim and Ryan went out of their way to support me on another deal (they were not even involved in). Their guidance was really useful and support was very productive. I would always go back to Ryan and Tim for future questions and glad to find great friends during this transaction. 100% recommend the Ryan and Tim team for simple and complex transaction.

ZillowVERIFIED Ryan Nickell is an outstanding realtor. We sold our house with him. He possess great local knowledge of San Jose area. He follows win-win strategy and always put his client priorities on top. He came up with excellent selling as strategy of marketing the home by putting off market while we were getting ready to move out of house. His team of stagers and photographers are amazing. My house was beautifully staged and definitely looked premium which helps in marketing platforms. As a result of his efforts, we could still sell our house in a slow market after just 1 open house. He is easy to communicate and was always available to help us with any queries. We encountered one unusual scenario with our buyer which made us nervous. Buyers had some doubts on property and came up with some terms which were not acceptable to us. Ryan navigated with his excellent negotiations skills and knowledge which helped us closing the deal. I recommend as a realtor

ZillowVERIFIED Ryan and his team are absolutely the best. I first contacted Ryan on a Sunday morning, and we met a couple of hours later. Ryan is incredibly compassionate; he understood how difficult it was for me to sell my brothers home. Ryan is truly empathetic, patient, and professional. He works around the clock and was always quick to answer my questions. Ryan and his team provided exceptional customer service during this difficult time. Ryan priced my brothers home based on current market value and negotiated the sale during the holiday season for substantially over the asking price. If you want the best real estate agent in the Bay Area who will do everything for you, choose Ryan Nickell. Ryan is truly a positive, honest, and kind human being. He is someone I will always remember as being exceptional.

ZillowVERIFIED Ryan Nickell was a god sent, he and his associates were helpful, friendly, and very professional and went out of their way to make sure you were comfortable with how the sale was going, and if we had a question, Ryan was there on the spot with answer. He made it important that you had all the information you needed, went through all the documentation that had to be signed, and there were a lot. I cannot say enough about ROI Real Estate and Ryan. Ryan gave you the feeling that you were his only client, going above and beyond for you, and that is important when you are either selling or buying a home. Ryan kept in communication with us at all times either by phone or email or in person. If you ever need an agent, call them and you will not be disappointed.

ZillowVERIFIED When I was ready to sell my beloved home in Santa Clara, and move all the way across the country, I contacted Ryan because I loved their flyer (with Hiro the dog). I was floored when Ryan immediately got back to me and setup a time to look at my home and discuss potential strategy for a fast sale, at maximum profit. They laid out a proven formula for prepping and staging my home, and were able to get multiple offers even before hosting the first open house. Not only was Ryan fantastic to work with, the subcontractors they arranged to help ready my property were excellent. Very efficient, trustworthy and responsive. Overall, I was floored at what Ryan was able to accomplish on my behalf within such a restrictive timeline. He also guided my agent on the other end on some matters that weren't being handled optimally. I knew Ryan had my back every step of the way, and it was honestly life saving. It was a scary prospect, turned magical by having the right realtors and well placed faith. And an adorable mascot never hurts. Woof.

ZillowVERIFIED Tim & Ryan know what it takes to successfully market and sell a home! After our initial meeting and home review, they recommended a number key updates to attract the maximum number of potential buyers and developed a reasonable timeline to get the work done. Ryan effectively managed all the contractors and provided excellent communication throughout the entire process to ensure that the home was move-in ready with the proper permits and inspections for the new owners. The professional sales brochure he created was outstanding and we received multiple offers after one weekend open house. If youre looking for a real estate team that has the experience and commitment to get the job done, I highly recommend Tim & Ryan and R.O.I. Real Estate!

ZillowVERIFIED We recently used Ryan Nickell as our sellers agent for our Santa Clara, CA home. We chose Ryan based on his very responsive communication which began before the listing was signed and continued through closing.

ZillowVERIFIED Working alongside Tim Pasken and Ryan Nickell was truly a blessing! After struggling for a year and a half with another realtor, we finally found success with Tim and Ryan. Within just two months, we were able to purchase our dream home. As first-time buyers, we experienced a rollercoaster of emotions and nearly lost hope, but Tim and Ryan consistently uplifted us, even in the face of a challenging market. They were incredibly responsive to our emails, offering detailed insights on properties we were interested in bidding on. Their expertise in the local area and market trends was truly impressive. What makes them such a remarkable team? Ryan Nickell is incredibly sharp and dedicated. Rain or shine, he was always available to show us houses, demonstrating confidence and competence in his work. He provided strategic advice on bidding, guiding us to success with his recommendations. He knew exactly how much to bid, and we completely trusted him and he truly won it for us :) Tim is exceptionally knowledgeable and talented. He kept our hopes high throughout the process, offering honest feedback from R.O.I perspective, held long phone conversations and was quick to responding to our inquiries, even amidst his travel.

ZillowVERIFIED If you are in search of a real estate agent in the Bay Area, look no further. Tim & Ryan are the best agents in town. We were first time home buyers and were pretty clueless in the process. Tim & Ryan held our hands and made this journey a stroll in the park. Right from shortlisting homes in the market on a daily basis, visiting open houses after sunset, placing multiple offers, to signing the deed, they were with us every step of the way. In the Bay Area where the market is cut throat, Tim & Ryan helped us navigate the market seamlessly through the different emotional stages and stress of buying a home. There were times when we wanted to submit bids far exceeding asking price when we got quite excited about some properties, however Tim & Ryan advised and helped placate those emotional bursts. And in hindsight, we made the right call. Working with Tim & Ryan was a very smooth and educational experience for us. Their knowledge of the different neighborhoods in and around South Bay, their pros/cons, helped us save a lot of time in sifting through the many houses we were initially interested in. They have been quite patient with us, and were very responsive and helpful for any questions we had, and they still are, even after 2 months. We wish them good luck in their future endeavors and are excited to see their business grow. We are lucky we found Tim & Ryan as our real estate gurus and happy to call them family now. PS: Even when you want to compromise on certain aesthetic aspects or remodeling ideas, they would not let you :-) It is not easy to get a Tim & Ryan stamp of approval for a house; it needs to be earned. They have laudable spatial reasoning skills. They are able to quickly whip up practical and contemporary remodeling idea, and also cater to minimalist designs: you might sometimes wonder if you have hired an interior designer also.

ZillowVERIFIED It was such a delight working with Ryan and Tim (we worked mostly with Ryan). TLDR, you should definitely go with Tim&Ryan if: 1. You need a lot of assistance in the process or 2. You want to remodel the house (before you sell or after you buy) or 3. You like to work with someone who can give you peace of mind or 4. You want good return on investment. but TBH, I don't think you can go wrong with them. Full story: This is our first ever home purchase so we were very cautious. After interviewing about 6 agents, we decided to go with Tim&Ryan because they are more responsive and have deeper local knowledge in the area where we want to purchase our first home. More importantly, we were willing to spend the time and effort to remodel and they have lots of resources and experience in remodeling. During the shopping process, Ryan provided guidance every step of the way. He gave us contacts, sent us potentially interesting properties, toured the properties with us and gave us tons of good remodeling ideas. Sometimes we would send properties to them and they would give us their take. When it came to making offers, Ryan would send us the disclosures and comp sales and usually gave us an estimate of how much he thought the property would sell for under the current market condition (which was pretty accurate). We were in a tough market because the inventory was low and it was hard to find an ideal property for the price we were willing to pay. We gave 4 offers but they were all rejected. It was easy to overbid but Ryan never encouraged us to do so. Instead, he gave us assurance that we would be able to find one that we like with the right price and he was right. This property was not on our list originally because it was beautifully remodeled a few years ago and didn't need much work. We would have missed it if Tim&Ryan didn't bring it up. We gave an offer and the next thing you know, we were in contract. The closing didn't go smoothly because our lender messed up, which delayed the process. But Ryan, once again, calmed us down and acted quickly to negotiate with the seller to extend the timeline. Finally, we got the keys!

I have went with Ryan and Tim for buying and selling. Every time they did not disappoint. Ryan is meticulous, analytical, personable, and patient. He will go to bat for you. He is extremely knowledgeable and connected. He is able to walk through the process with no judgement. I had a long list of questions throughout the process. He is incredibly responsive and will provide the red carpet experience to his clients. If you are looking for a top tier agent, knowledgeable, strong negotiations skills and the ability to win he is the one to reach out to.

ZillowVERIFIED My husband, myself and my 138 lb Great Pyrenees dog liked Ryan at our first meeting. Ryan is not only a dog lover, but the best real estate agent you will ever find. We should know as we have purchased 5 houses and sold two. Short background is we were selling my mothers 100 year old house in San Francisco. Sadly she left us after a stroke with a whole 3 bedroom 2 bath home with a full basement full of "stuff." We were overwhelmed to say the least. I held onto the home for 14 years, knowing I had to clean it out and sell it. We never rented it, but let friends use it when they wanted to visit the City. I was desperate. Then I met Ryan and he made things seem not so bad. His gentle calming nature and professionalism put me at ease immediately. We toured the packed house together and he acted like "no problem here, nice house". I also had to have a vehicle towed from the residence and deal with a persistent transient person that thought the house was his. Ryan held my hand through the whole ordeal. He either took care of things or had the resources for me to call and take care of any problem. We got the house cleaned out in 3 days with professional help (kind of like hoarders). We then turned the house over to Ryan to sell. That is when the real magic happened. Ryan had the house beautifully staged, gorgeous pictures taken for a brochure, spread the word to his colleagues and MLS. We then decided on a weekend for open house. Ryan got 4 good offers on the first showing. As he says he took the highest and best to us. We wanted to wait and see if any more offers came in and one did, higher than the first. We said yes to that one. So in one weekend the house was essentially sold. There was a minor hiccup during escrow where the buyers could not get insurance. This is a serious problem in California. Ryan called several insurance companies on behalf of the buyer. He worked extremely hard. I felt he worked harder than the buyers agent. Finally we agreed to lower the price slightly and the buyers were able to get insurance. Because of Ryan's magic we got the highest price in the neighborhood during a time when interest rates were at 7-8 percent and insurance almost impossible to get. My husband, myself and Handsome, my Great Pyrenees cannot recommend Ryan and Tim highly enough. Go with ROI!! Don, Victoria and Handsome Archibald San Francisco, Ca.

ZillowVERIFIED So happy that we met Tim & Ryan. We knew we wanted to sell, but we had no idea how to go about it and were worried that our home my not sell. They put us at ease when they let us know how confident they were that it will sell. They explained that a remodel and upgrades would help sell the home so they redesigned the kitchen and bathrooms. As soon as the condo was remodeled and staged, I could see why they were so confident in their work. On the first weekend of the open house we had 3 offers and our home sold right away. It was so quick, we had an offer that broke the record in our condo complex, San Jose Brickyard! It was such a smooth and quick process. I highly recommend Tim and Ryan to everyone! They were always available to answer any questions we had, they are such personable and pleasant guys to work with. Thanks so much Tim and Ryan!
