Client Testimonials

Elizabeth Shearen

Ryan was there through every step of the process to help my Fiancé and I find exactly what we were looking for. As we were both first-time home buyers it can be an intimidating process to start. He gave us a great idea of what is for sale within our price range and worked with our schedule to view homes. Although we have closed on our home Ryan continues to be a trusted resource!

Jerry Rossow

Ryan Ecklund did an outstanding job for us. He guided us every step of the way. His marketing expertise paid off in a big way! Our home was on the market four days, we had five showings and two offers—one for full price!
Ryan’s knowledge, professionalism, and unfailing support also helped us find a new home that is perfect for us at a great price. We are eternally grateful. Ryan is an excellent realtor and a really nice guy, as well.

Jack Jarvey

My Fiancé & I are not only first time home buyers, but this is our first time living away from our parents as well. I was connected with Ryan through Zillow when I scheduled a tour. From the beginning, Ryan this entire daunting process of looking at & buying a house for the first time fun and easy to understand. Through the entire process, he has always been extremely pleasant and quick to respond. It was clear that he is very knowledgeable about the entire process and I feel like he always had our best interest at heart. I never felt pressured to settle, he showed us a lot of great options, and was always honest about his thoughts. He was great at understanding our wants and needs and showing us properties that were reflective of those preferences. He not only would point out what may need updates but also how we could add value to the property. He made us feel like there were no stupid questions, which was great because we had a lot of stupid questions to ask, lol. He held our hand as much as we needed it through the entire process, and even after closing he has still been easy to reach for any other questions we have. I would recommend Ryan to anybody that was looking to buy a house and I couldn’t have asked for a better first homebuying experience.

Nate Hessburg

Ryan was truly a dream to work with. He really knows his stuff and got me the price I wanted when selling a difficult estate. Ryan took plenty of time going over the property with me and we set it at a fair price that he knew it would sell for. He also worked to clean the property and stage it for the photos which turned out magnificent!! You really need to work with him. He is incredibly skilled and would be an asset to you for either buying or selling a property.

Jason Jungbluth

I cannot recommend Ryan highly enough. We chose Ryan after already having met with another realtor we trusted, and it was 100% the correct choice.

As first time home buyers he carefully lead us through every step of the process and let our search take us where it was going to take us with zero pressure involved. He was as patient with us as we could have possibly hoped for while answering every question we had in detail without making us feel overwhelmed at any point.

We left the process feeling 100% confident in our home choice and any future home buying protects will be run through him as well. Go see Ryan. You will not be disappointed.

Caitlin Siefkes

Ryan was an absolute delight to work with. As first time home buyers, my spouse and I were nervous about the process but Ryan made us feel completely at ease. He answered all of our questions fully and never made us feel like we should have already known the answer. He was patient as we searched for our home and helped us navigate the entire process as painlessly as I think is possible. I’d recommend him to anyone.

Andrew Doran

Ryan's availability to help us find a place was always open for showings even across the Twin Cities. We knew the style of home we envisioned buying. He helped answer our most basic questions, to more in-depth ones about the property. Ryan made buying feel more relaxed during such a big life decision

Theresa Schultz

If you are looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, responsive and an advocate for you, Ryan is the agent you want on your side! Ryan helped me find my very first home and never let me settle for “just okay,” he patiently walked me through the process of looking, finding, financing and buying my home. I am so grateful to Ryan and will never even consider going to a different agent when I sell and then buy my next home - thank you, Ryan!

Justin Wolff

Ryan quickly learns what you looking for and looks for houses that he thinks fits your needs. He is a full time realtor and was very responsive and available for showings. He has knowledge about houses and points out things in houses that most wouldn't think about when considering a house. I would highly recommend Ryan and will use him again if we ever move

Krissy Thorp

Ryan has been fantastic to work with! His strategic planning on getting my home on the market got me multiple offers over asking in just 2 days! He is very knowledgeable on how the market is trending and suggested the best course of action for my house. I highly recommend Ryan to anyone and everyone for their selling/buying needs!

Renee Anderson

Ryan handled both the listing/selling and the buying process for me. He was ready and willing to look at houses any time and not afraid to offer his opinion when asked. Ryan was calm and reassuring when I was stressed, and handled all the details of both transactions professionally …even with a few challenges and unforeseen hiccups. I always felt like he had my back and clearly communicated my options when decisions needed to be made.
I would 100% recommend Ryan to anyone looking to buy or sell!

Terrel Brown

Great to work with very professional, on time great at finding exactly what I was looking for. Evan stayed under budget. Also sold my house above what I was asking. I'm beyond great full and would recommend 1000%

Kimberly Manes

Ryan is, hands down, the most communicative, fierce, supportive, and knowledgeable realtor I’ve ever worked with. He made the sale of our home a breeze, kept us informed every step of the way, and always made sure our questions were answered. It was clear he did extensive research into our neighborhood when deciding how to price our house, and we ended up getting multiple offers above asking price- our home sold within 2 days! His communication style is direct, which was a perfect fit for us and helped in the necessary communication with other realtors. We chose to work with Ryan during our most recent relocation and he worked seamlessly with our relo company to make our (very) quick move simple. I cannot recommend Ryan enough!
Selling? Buying? Call Ryan

Tommy Byrnes

I purchased a home and my cousin recommended I use Ryan Ecklund. Ryan was very helpful throughout the process, he is very great and prompt with communication. Ryan made everything painless.

Kira Wortman

We love Ryan! We met with him and immediately we felt at ease and in good hands. He is very knowledgable, thorough, and hard working. When we met with him, he provided honest feedback on our house, putting it on the market and next steps. Everything moved quickly and efficiently. We had a stager come out, then pictures soon after. Our home was on the market a few weeks after we met with him. We had a few items to do on our end otherwise, he would have placed it on the market even quicker. We had 4 offers on our home the next day. He reached out to us and talked us through each offer.
Ryan is extremely professional, easy to work with, honest, respectful and an overall wonderful realtor. We would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone. He is fantastic!

Stephanie Campbell

Hiring Ryan Ecklund for your real estate transaction is an outstanding choice.

Old friends of ours recommended realtor Ryan Ecklund to help us buy a home in the Twin Cities area, and we are so grateful for this recommendation. We moved from out of state, and though we'd been keeping an eye on the market from afar, we really needed someone knowledgeable about our target communities to help us make the right choice about where to live. Ryan helped us navigate this incredibly quick-paced, low-inventory market and, with his expertise, knowledge, and wisdom, helped us buy the home of our dreams. We could not have done this without him.

Ryan quickly developed a very good sense for what our family was looking for, and identified interesting prospects the moment they came up on the market. He was always able to meet us for a showing the day a property came up on the market. He was as persistent with this process as we were; we began our house hunt in earnest in early November 2021, and didn't go under contract until mid-February 2022. He earned our trust with his professionalism. He had a very good eye for the structure and condition of the homes we toured, and looked carefully at roofs, windows, and utility rooms/furnaces. Ryan was immediately responsive to any questions we had throughout the process, and made everything move smoothly to closing.

There are a lot of realtors out there - the Star Tribune recently published that there are over 22,000 in this great state - but Ryan Ecklund is truly one of the best. Our plan is to never sell this beautiful house, but if we find ourselves needing to make a change, we will only hire Ryan. When we finally convince our dear friends to move to the Twin Cities, we will only recommend Ryan. We've purchased four houses and sold three, and Ryan has been the best buyer's agent we've ever seen (and we've had some great realtors!). I can only imagine how competent, helpful, and reassuring he would be as a seller's agent.

Kelley Conklin

Unfortunately, we only had a short time working with Ryan, but he was impressive in every way. Smart, friendly, responsive, and so knowledgeable about the industry -- everything you would want in an agent. Anyone who works with him will be lucky and I'm sure will have no less than an excellent experience.

Stephen Kiesner

A+ , Ryan does a great job and is patient and understands what to look for when viewing homes. Negotiations were great & I couldn’t be happier with the new home I’m in.

Krystal Holmes

Ryan was great, he traveled all over the metro with us as we determined the areas we'd be ok to move too. That meant traveling all over the northern metro. He was gracious in allowing us to take some time and was there for us during some of the darker moments when an offer wasn't accepted. The whole process of buying and selling at the same time is already hard, scary, and nerve-wracking, but Ryan made that process so easy for us. Thanks again, Ryan!

R. Gisler

Ryan was fantastic throughout the whole process of selling our home. He was very knowledgeable on our house price we received several full price offers on our home. The whole process was fantastic. Ryan is a fantastic agent.

Ellen Dodor

We were connected with Ryan through a previous client of his and we couldn't have been more blown away by how knowledgeable he is! As a first time home buyer, it was quite stressful but Ryan was able to walk us through every step with ease. He is so thoughtful, knowledgeable, and a great person to have on your team! I would recommend him over and over again to anyone looking to sell or buy.

Kelly Roemhildt

Ryan helped me and my husband sell our home and purchase a new one. We had a lot of questions and were new to the process of selling/buying simultaneously. Ryan and his team were exceptional from beginning to end. He was able to answer all of our questions and explain in terms that were understandable. His communication methods were very modern, making him available and responsive very quickly. He was honest, and respectful. Because of Ryan and his team, we were able to sell our home within 48 hours, and buy a new home for a great price in a very competitive market.
My husband and I highly recommend Ryan!

Jen Kartes

Ryan Ecklund was incredible to work with throughout the process of buying my first home. As a first-time homebuyer I had a lot of questions and he went above and beyond to make sure they were answered and provided guidance on additional considerations when looking at homes.

Lisa Martin

Ryan was very knowledgeable and was great with communication & explained very clearly the process! He was always available to answer any questions! We would highly recommend Ryan!!!

Rachel Mensink

We were scared to start the process of selling a home, we had been told by friends that it is a very daunting and scary process. After the initial phone conversation and meeting we definitely knew we made the right decision working with Ryan. He came to meet with us and in the initial meeting, he told us about how we will work together. Anytime we've had a question, concern or frustration with the process, we reached out and within moments received communication back answering our question or reassuring us of the process and the next steps. We truly appreciated his different styles of communication via text, email and video messaging. The process seemed to go very smoothly and I highly recommend to work with him!

Ryan Ambrose

Ryan walked us through the selling and buying process and answered our many questions. He made everything simple and was great at listening to us and our concerns.

Kaylie Bisping

Ryan definitely knew a lot about the entire process and helped us along the way with what to look at in each house. He pointed things out we didn't always notice and gave his professional opinion.

Emma Lyons

As a first time home buyer, Ryan did an excellent job of explaining the whole process to me step-by-step and made sure I understood all the options for my eventual offer.

Kaydee Lenzen

It was great to work with Ryan. I truly trusted him so much that only my husband saw the house before we put an offer in. I felt like he walked us through the whole first time home buying options and gave us all the information along the way. Understood my busy schedule and worked with it the best he could

Audrey Johnson

Ryan is super awesome!!! From start to finish he was so helpful and gave us amazing guidance as first time homebuyers. He answered all of our questions, helped calm my anxiety throughout the process, recommended an amazing mortgage guy, gave us really solid and realistic advice, and even checked up on us just to see how we were doing leading up to closing. Also he is super chill and pleasant to be around. So yeah. He’s amazing. Thank you Ryan!!!!

Cheri Rose

Ryan did a great job selling my home in one day! He explained everything as we went along. Happy to do business with Ryan. Would recommend him to anyone selling their home.

Andrew Enrique

We are first time home buyers and didn't know where to begin. We found a house that we were interested in looking at and contacted Ryan as he was the listing agent. Finding out that we were fist time buyers, he offered to meet us and talk about what we were looking for, how the process works, and the next steps that we would take. He put us into contact with an amazing mortgage consultant that specializes in the type of loan that we would be using and clearly and honestly explained everything throughout the process. He stayed patient with us and was always available for questions even in the few months that we weren't actively looking. When it came time to start looking at houses, he met us when it was best for us, gave us insight on the areas/neighborhoods, and enthusiastically suggested that we look at more no matter what time it was or how far away they were. When we made an offer on one, Ryan was very accessible so that he could walk us through each step of the process until completion. He genuinely cares about helping people get into the home that they want and he exceeded every expectation that we had. We cannot recommend him more (especially for a first time buyer) and we are extremely pleased that we found him to guide us through this process.

Lashaw Castellano

He is knowledgeable about what areas are up and coming, average price in certain areas, and doesn't sugar coat when you have been distracted by new house smell and are no longer looking at what you have on your list as important to your family.

Adam Eaton

Ryan is attentive, helpful, and warm. He works hard to give us options on a weekly basis. We plan on continuing our relationship with Ryan for all our home needs.

Kim Shannon

Very honest and helpful. Always aware of your specific needs and goes out of his way to get you whay u need and want. Also very knowledgeable and understanding.

Graham Gaboury

Ryan is always on point with every transaction. All of my questions and concerns are answered quickly and accurately. He really makes the process of buying and selling my properties as stress free as possible!
His professional and personable abilities make a excellent combination and I recommend him to any and everyone I can.

Lori Boemer

We are just in the beginning steps of finding our next home, and Ryan has found us numerous listings that are perfectly within our must haves list, and found them quickly! His advice has been solid gold and he's quick to respond to any questions we might have. He's also made some great suggestions for preparing our house for listing, and we're very much looking forward to closing on our next house with Ryan

Rachel Winter

From the start, our experience working with Ryan has been wonderful. His approach to selling differers in that he focuses a lot of effort into marketing, and building anticipation in potential buyers. Our home had an offer in 3 days. We also appreciated his clear communication, honesty, sense of humor, and advice

Lynn Brown

I would recommend Ryan to my closest friends and family - he's that good! I had tried selling my loft in downtown St. Paul unsuccessfully about a year ago. When I decided to re-list it, I contacted the Kris Lyndahl Team and was put in contact with Ryan. He came to our first meeting fully prepared and had a plan for selling my loft. From our first meeting until the day of my closing was one month! Thanks to Ryan and his team, he sold my loft the first week it was listed. From there, the process went as smoothly as possible. He was available for all of my questions and was very helpful in guiding me on what I needed to do before closing. He was so nice and so responsive - I never felt alone in the process. I just can't say enough good things about Ryan and his level of professionalism. You will not find a better realtor than Ryan!
