Favio was amazing and within a month of searching, he helped us find our very own first home. We had worked with another realtor previous to Favio and she just didnt deliver to keep the comments short. With Favio I told him from the start exactly what we were looking for and he didnt mind how picky I was, he actually liked that I knew specifically what I wanted and that very same day I met him, I had an email with more than 40 homes to look through. He always had time for us and always gave us the pros and cons of the houses we were looking at, his honest advice was like if he was treating us like family and we knew we would find the home of our dreams without a doubt with him on our side! We thank you Favio for all you did for our family!!! If you want to find a home and want a realtor that is on point with everything, you have to contact Favio like NOW!!
Ryan was great during my entire home purchase process. He kept me informed of all details and was quick to respond back if I had any questions or doubts. I highly recommend Ryan for your real estate needs.
I had lived in my house for 21 years. Decided I wanted a view of the harbor. Ryan sold my house in 4 days for a very good price. He found a beautiful condo off market that has an unbelievable view of the harbor. I now live in that condo because of Ryan. Life is very good now.
Ryan is an OUTSTANDING realtor, we worked with him in both the sale and purchase of two condos downtown and he also sold other properties for us previously. He handled it all exceptionally well; he is professional, knowledgeable about the local market, and most importantly has an excellent understanding of the real estate process - so important if things go "south" which often can come up these days. We give Ryan our highest rating - way to go Ryan and team!!
Best real estate agent you could ask for!!! Ive used Ryan for multiple properties, both buying and selling, and he has always given great advice, and gone above and beyond!!! Highly recommend him
Ryan is the best, super reliable and credible. I would trust him with any sale or purchase in the SD area. He recommended staging my place, which resulted in an immediate offer and sale over asking price. Thanks Ryan!
Ryan was absolutely fantastic with our sale of a condo in San Diego. He really went above and beyond. We live out of the area and he was kind enough to do a walk through with our tenant, set up the cleaning and minor repairs, set up the staging (we used the Concierge service which I highly recommend -- easy and no money up front), helped arrange for repairs during escrow, and all the other nuts and bolts of selling a place. He is very knowledgeable of the area and about pricing, is trustworthy and honest, very responsive and easy to get a hold of, and patient with all of our questions. He not only helped us sell our unit for a good price but he saved us a ton of headaches in the process. I really can't praise him enough and am so grateful for all his help! Would 100% absolutely use him again in the future and highly recommend with zero hesitation!
tl;dr - Karl expertly navigated us through upgrading and selling our house, helping us get way over asking price. Recommend him 100%.Long version - Karl and Ryan walked us through every step, making practical, doable suggestions along the way. Karl was never pushy, always honest, and very mindful of our needs and limitations as a family with young children. When they gave us the option to sell as-is or to use the Compass concierge to do some updates before selling, they presented it very clearly, with no pressure to choose the upgrades. We took Karl's advice, and went forward with the upgrades. Not only that, he was with us every step of the way, coordinating with everyone to make sure everything was done with quality. In the end, we sold well over asking price (more than we ever imagined we'd get). We couldn't have done it without him and the team at Ryan Ponce Associates.
I could not be more pleased with the professionalism of Ryan and his team.He was always responsive and presented pros and cons of various options when preparing the house for sale, reviewing and selecting an offer, and negotiating the price as well as items to address after the various inspections. Ryan is proactive and manages all aspects of the sale which minimizes the stress of the seller. A bonus is his upbeat personality. You could not find a better realtor if you are buying or selling your home.
After one year of searching for a home, I decided to switch realtors and met Ryan. Immediately I knew he was going to find my new home. Ryan and his team were extremely helpful throughout my entire process of searching and buying a house. He was constantly there to provide resources and documents I asked for. Compass compared to the other agencies, seemed more professional, reliable and honest. I would refer Ryan and his team(Melissa, Nick) at Compass to any of my closest friends and family members because he's someone you can trust.
My wife and I recently sold our long owned condo in downtown San Diego. Over the years weve gotten to know Ryan quite well as an active and successful real estate agent with a lot of expertise in the 92101 zip code and surrounding areas. His regular newsletters were always a great source of what was happening in the local real estate market. When it came time to sell our condo, there was only one choice for our agent.The timing of our moving out of state required that we would have to be absentee sellers and Ryan would need to be the sole on site coordinator of everything. He performed these duties admirably. The market was tight, difficulty with buyers arose, inspection found things needed addressing. Through it all he kept us informed, coordinated service people and DocuSigning, and came through with the right buyer in the end. We couldnt have chosen a better informed and resourceful real estate agent than Ryan Ponce.
I worked 'across the table' from Ryan on a recent condo purchase in Little Italy. I was highly impressed by his responsiveness, professionalism, and knowledge of the local market. It was a pleasure working with him!
Ryan sold my home for almost 10% more than other agents were telling me it was worth, and we were under contract within 3 days of hitting the market. I travel a lot and relied on him going the extra mile to make the sale come together, which he 100% did. Thanks Ryan. You'll be my first call the next time I'm looking to move.
Ryan and team were absolutely AMAZING to work with during my entire home selling process. Ryan started with the basics in suggesting how to stage my home, researching the best price point to list it, and worked with both a terrific photographer and videographer to showcase the best attributes. Because of his attention to detail at the beginning we sold my home in 8 days!!! Ryan and team are true professionals. I highly recommend them.
Ryan Ponce is a brilliant realtor. He's professional, engaging, knowledgeable, competent, reliable, warm, detailed, and a very decent human being. We couldn't possibly recommend him more highly. Having over a dozen experiences with other realtors on both sides of various transactions, we've never had a more trustworthy and able representative. Ryan has tremendous integrity and character, he's a truly stand-up guy. We never felt he was anything other than wanting the best for us in the process. Also, there isn't a realtor in San Diego who knows the market better than Ryan, including the nitty gritty details of many different buildings and developments. We first met Ryan when looking for a condo in downtown San Diego. He was a seller's rep of a condo we viewed but weren't interested in. He shared with us that he was aware of another more suitable unit for us in the same building that was soon to come on the market (and represented by another agent and agency). He connected us with that agent and we ended up buying that property. We were so taken by his calm, centered demeanor, and his vast knowledge of the market, that when it came time to sell there was no question in our minds that we would choose Ryan to represent us. As it turned out, that sale was one of the most complicated transactions we've ever encountered, and we relied heavily on Ryan's extensive experience and ease in navigating and negotiating through great complexity. If you're reading this far and this much about Ryan I will tell you that you can bring your due diligence to a close. Don't look any further. You've arrived at the best. Ryan Ponce will be our California realtor from here forward and we're willing to share him with you. Best wishes in your transaction.
We are so ecstatic about our experience with Ryan as our realtor, we give him the highest rating!! My husband and I own several rental properties in the San Diego area and in New York and we have worked with numerous realtors over the years. Ryans knowledge, demeanor, ability to work with a number of different people, and super responsiveness were so impressive. And the biggest thing is that sense of trust that he truly has his clients interests at heart and tries his best to give each client a great experience going through what can be a very stressful time. We want to work with him on all our properties, we recommend him highly!!
Karl is a very good listener. It did not take him long to figure out our preferences and focus on homes that we both saw as excellent options. When it came time to sell our second rental property we went straight to Karl and in the end we wished we had listed the first property with him & Windemere as well. Karl is very patient, and works with an outstanding marketing team that knows how to market your properties best features. If you are looking for an honest, direct and very hard working realtor go no further. Karl and (Windermere Ryan Once & Assoc.) are professional and committed to the best possible outcome for their clients. Ryan-Honest, knowledgeable, hardworking and a good leader that has built a strong team at Windermere (Ryan Ponce & Associates). As an investment property owner with multiple properties we know that a good realtor is worth their weight in gold and a bad one can bury you. Unfortunately for us we found Ryan and his team a few months after a very bad Realtor experience. Ryan & Associates (Karl) could not have been more different. Ryan leads a very talented team of marketing and sales people that clearly take their lead on work ethic, principles and client engagement from Ryan and that makes his bench strong and deep. They know how to market a property to maximize it's strengths, they know there communities and work extremely hard at improving their skills as regulations, markets and technology change. There are more real estate deals in our future and we will definitely be back knocking on their door.
2019 Update: After writing the previous review we hired Karl (and his colleague Ryan Ponce) to sell our duplex. Karl was fantastic and successfully closed the sale even after we had an unexpected surprise during a buyer's inspection. His calm demeanor and creative ideas helped save the day. I highly recommend Karl and wouldn't hesitate to hire him again. Previous review from 2018: Over the years I have bought and sold a few homes and Karl is one of the best real estate agents we have ever encountered. We met Karl when we responded to a listing we saw on Zillow. Karl called us back within the hour to discuss what type of property we were looking for and our timeframe for scheduling an appointment. Karl and his colleague set appointments for us to view 4 downtown condos. He clearly listened to us because each of the units he showed us met our list of specifications in different ways. He is a super agent with great listening skills combined with excellent follow through. Our search was focused on a condo in downtown San Diego and his knowledge about each of the buildings as well as the active inventory was really impressive. I cannot recommend Karl highly enough.
Ryan Ponce and his team were incredible. He made the process simple and painless. He made sound decisions on our behalf and explained everything in detail. A process that has taken others months to go thru, took us minimal time. Ryans customer service was unflappable!! Ryan made sure we were a priority day in and day out!
Working with Ryan has been a pleasure from start to finish. He has a passion for the downtown San Diego area and is an expert on all things downtown. He's friendly, responsive, and assertive. Honestly can't say enough good things about him.
Ryan has all the qualities you hope to find in a realtor: thorough, knowledgeable, patient, and very personable. Whether you are local or are looking to move to San Diego as I am, Ryan is the perfect choice. He has an in-depth knowledge of the San Diego real estate market and its different neighborhoods. He listens to your needs and respects your budget. I am still considering whether to purchase in San Diego but am certain Ryan will handle the transaction if I do.
He met my wife and I off a cruise ship of which we had sedulade an appointment . Ryan lives in San Diego and knows the city inside out . Wonderful friendly personality and as you tour available properties he is warmly greeted by property management and home owners that know him. Ryan stays with you from the start of your purchase to the end working on your behalf with lenders, escrow to closing. Bob
Buying a house is scary, so trust in a Realtor is an absolute must. Ryan gained our trust in every sense of the word. He was patient, knowledgeable and of the utmost integrity. Do not settle for an aEURoeokaEUR? realtor for one of the biggest, life-changing decisions of your life. Choose, Ryan because hes the best. We are so glad we did. We found the exact right house for us and the experience was wonderful.
My wife and I were fortunate to have met Ryan last year when we were looking for a condo to buy in Little Italy. Although we never purchased in Little Italy, Ryan ended up listing our home in Point Loma. From his initial presentation all the way through closing, Ryan was a complete professional. He was thorough in his research and spot on with his valuation. Ryan is knowledgeable in his field and most importantly, he has integrity. Because of the great experience we had with the listing, Ryan assisted us in finding and closing on our beautiful condo in Bankers Hill. Just recently, Ryan sold an investment property of mine in Encinitas, and he did so without it even hitting the MLS! I was very happy with the results. I highly recommend Ryan as your go-to real estate agent, he is definitely mine.
I just finished up buying and selling property with Ryan. Ryan is amazing. What sets Ryan apart is that he is a hard worker, very responsive and really cares about his clients. I met Ryan when I inquired about a new project downtown. I was interested in making the move from the suburbs. This required selling my house before I could buy a new place. Ryan showed me around even before I was really ready. I never felt like I was wasting his time. Once we looked at a handful of places, I decided I could make the move. Ryan was really patient with me and the process of the buy and sell which was not the smoothest due to some challenges with the buyer of my place and the seller of my new place. Somehow, Ryan kept me calm and kept all balls in the air so I was able to simultaneously close on both places. I love my new place and am so happy with my decision! I really like Ryan personally and professionally. He is aggressive, energetic, professional and will work his but off to make it happen! Thanks Ryan for all you have done for me! I highly recommend Ryan Ponce.
Ryan was really excellent, a great partner and guide through the overall process, who looked out for my best interests at every step. I don't often give reviews in general, and rarely 5/5 stars, but Ryan's client service was truly exceptional.
Ryan is awesome! He helped me with my first home purchase, and he helped every step of the way. He was always available when I had questions, and provided an overall sense of comfort. He never pressured me into anything, and he earned my trust as my agent; I knew he was looking out for my best interest at all times. I had an exceptional experience with him, and would highly recommend him to anyone in the market!
Ryan is absolutely astounding! I had a house to sell in La Jolla. Being from Virginia, I did not know anything about the San Diego area. Someone recommended Ryan to me, I phoned him and arrived in San Diego the following week to meet with him. We met on a Tuesday, at 11am and discussed his sales strategy. I was very impressed with his knowledge of the area and market that I decided to go with him. By 11am Wednesday (the next morning), Ryan called and informed me that he had a buyer that wanted a quick closing. The offer exceeded my expectations and I signed the papers. My experience with Ryan was exceptional and I highly recommend him for any of your Real Estate needs. Do yourself a favor and go with Ryan.
Ryan was very helpful and honest when looking at homes. He did not pressure me into choosing something I didn't want. He was available whenever I had a question. Once I finally chose a home he was helpful in negotiating with the Seller's agent and really pushed for the deal to get done. We ran into some issues with the HOA and sellers, none the fault of Ryan's and he was able to inform me what was going on and help get them resolved to close on time. Ryan works well with whatever mortgage agent you use and looks out for your best interest. He made first time home buying almost stress free.
Ryan is and was the consummate professional! From the moment we first contacted him after receiving his name from a friend, he was extremely attentive, responsive and helpful. He listened to what we wanted and needed and provided the perfect listings to meet our needs. We were able to view the listings and close/lease our stunning new condo overlooking all of San Diego Bay and The Pacific. Thank you Ryan Ponce for your help. Without you, we wouldn't be living here now.
Ryan just helped me through as a first time home buyer and he was awesome! Since I've never done this before we had lots of questions and he was always quick to respond and very helpful going above and beyond! I would recommend him to anyone for his exceptional service.
Ryan is awesome!!! He knows his stuff, truly wants to help you find the place that's right for you and always goes the extra mile (he even helped us move!!!). We had such a great experience with Ryan that we're referring him to everyone we know. I highly recommend him for all of your real estate needs!
Ryan helped us sell our downtown condo. Over the last 25 years, we have worked with about 8 different realtors as we've bought and sold properties. Ryan is by far, the best realtor that we have ever worked with. He is impeccably honest and professional, and provided the service that we always wished our other realtors had provided. Through the whole process, Ryan was always on top of things, from pricing our unit, getting it professionally photographed, holding frequent open houses, giving us detailed info on showings, negotiating with potential buyers, and with ultimately closing the deal. We've already recommended him to our friends, and we look forward to working with him again!
Ryan Ponce was wonderful in helping us purchase a condo in downtown San Diego. We were looking to buy a condo for an investment which our daughter could live in as well. So, we not only wanted a property which would have good potential resale value, but also one which would be safe for her. Ryan has an excellent knowledge of the condo market in San Diego and was honest in giving the pros and cons of each building. He was not out to sell us the most expensive, but he truly wanted to help us find just the right place which would fit our individual needs. Ryan worked diligently over a number of months keeping us informed of any listing as soon as it came on the market. He tirelessly researched information on properties we liked, to inform us of any hoa issues which might be a factor down the road. He truly worked in our best interests, and I honestly would recommend Ryan Ponce to anyone interested in buying or selling in the San Diego area!
I have used Ryan for several real estate items. I have had him twice rent my downtown condo and when I was through with it, I had him sell it for me as well. He is always available and picks up when I call and even better makes me feel as though my property has his full attention. Without reservation, I can recommend his services. He is a true PROFESSIONAL.
