Lakeshore East Real Estate Agent Reviews

Andy Y. Bucktown
"Ryan is a true pro and just a great person to work with. I've worked with many other realtors who send in their assistants/staff to handle showings and it's just not the same. Ryan is the only agent I've worked with who I would work with again. Experience and personality matter in the competitive real estate market and Ryan covers both!"

"Ryan has been great. We were not familiar with the condo market in Chicago. The inventory was low and most of what was available was not appealing to us. Ryan helped us to understand and navigate the process. He was extremely patient and at the time of negotiating the price he was instrumental to close the deal. FIVE stars!"

He was very prompt with communications, was well-prepared for our quick househunting trip (relo to Chicago from Nashville), and found us our dream property very quickly. He walked us through the entire process from start to finish, and gave us the best advice along the way. We would gladly use Ryan to buy or sell a home in the future."
Daniella D. Logan Square
"Reliable, Professional, Responsive, Personable, HIGHLY recommended. My husband I have bought 5 houses over the years and have moved over 15 times, so we have worked with a variety of different brokers. My husband also works in the industry, so has first hand knowledge of how a realtor should do their job and also how many realtors do not. Ryan goes above and beyond to find you exactly what you are looking for and to make it happen."

We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor – for many reasons: He is very knowledgeable, he offered up good strategy and advice when needed, he was never pushy. He also went beyond the call of duty to research things for us and never let us down with things he said he’d follow up on."
Jim N. Lincoln Park
