About Ryan

Real estate began to call my name in 2010. I was living in New York, living the life I'd masterfully laid out for myself as a teenager in the 90's. My millennial persistence to follow my dreams led to a life in the arts. After a competitive and deeply self-reflective four years at the prestigious Boston Conservatory, I had a successful career as an international lead singer aboard the M.S. Statendam with Holland America Line. When I hung up my sequined jumpsuit and disembarked the ship for the last time, I knew the next step for me was New York City. I spent five years living the artist's struggle I'd anticipated during my college years and (relatively) plush living on a cruise ship. Days were spent walking dogs. Nights were spent pouring drinks. Weekends were spent behind the desk of a yoga studio, a job that led to several years in retail management, which progressed into a thriving career as an advanced yoga instructor when I moved back to Seattle. It was in 2010 when I began to consider my future. New York, I'd come to realize, was a layover on my way back to my true home of Seattle, WA. My passion for lifestyle design and creating spaces that reflected who I was and what my values were led to a deep interest in real estate. When I began researching the industry in New York, and then again when I moved back to Seattle, I realized just how much time I'd spent immersed in real estate as a child. I developed an instinct for balance and design elements from my mother, a talented interior designer, learned first-hand knowledge of daily life in the field from my aunt, a real estate broker turned executive at Coldwell Banker Bain, and began to understand economics and market trends from my uncle, the owner of a mortgage company. When I realized the years-long progression from mild interest to deciding to step into family business, I got my license and began selling and listing homes in 2015. Real estate is unlike any other investment you'll make. When you invest in a home, you invest in yourself. Who you are is shaped by how, where, and with whom you choose to spend your precious and finite time. Choosing a good Realtor® teammate is essential to help you look at your life holistically, and to choose how you intend to grow and evolve in all areas of your life. I approach real estate with the out-of-the-box mindset of an artist, the Zen rationale of a yogi, and the competitive drive of a New Yorker. Want to see if we're a match?
