After reading through various reviews of realtors, Ryan Breeden of Long and Foster stood out as especially impressive. He was described as getting top dollar for houses and selling them fast. We found this to be true. Our house sold the first day it was on the market and we got a very fair price for it. Ryan was very definite about what we needed to do to make our house appeal to buyers. At the same time he was flexible when certain improvements proved too difficult for us to do. He made a concerted effort to save us money wherever possible I found him very considerate and patient with explanations. He was always professional and we really felt able to depend on him to represent our interests. We plan to use him again and recommend him without reservation.

I found Ryan to be one of the best agents I've ever met and I have lived all over the country. His knowledge and professionalism were outstanding. His area expertise of Howard County and Anne Arundel in particular was very helpful in narrowing down the searches to avoid wasting unnecessary time. One example of this was I had mentioned a house I was interested in looking at and when I told him over the phone the location he said that there were power lines nearby. I was stunned that he just knew that from the street that I gave him. While I was looking for a home I had 1 1/2 year old twin girls, so needless to say my time was limited and I didn't want to spend it looking at places that I wouldn't be interested in. He was very accommodating to my schedule and my children's nap time and feeding. They often were with me when we looked and Ryan's patience and sense of humor put me at ease and helped make the time go by as smoothly as possible. Additionally, the builder that I was buying my home from was extremely difficult to say the least and Ryan went to bat for me, trying to remain as professional as possible when dealing with such a difficult person. He got me everything I wanted and bared the brunt of all the problems. Trust me, there were times I just wanted to take the phone from Ryan and yell at the builder. Lastly, because my home didn't come with a mailbox on the street corner, Ryan was kind enough to allow me to pick one out and he actually went to Home Depot and bought it, the supplies, including cement, and put in my mailbox and post. He did an excellent job and it's still standing straight after three years. I strongly recommend Ryan for all your real estate needs, you won't be disappointed!

We couldn't have been luckier than to have Ryan Breeden as our realtor. From the first time we met him, he was eager to help us find exactly what we were looking for in a home. Ryan was very knowledgeable about the area we were looking to buy in as well as what qualities would make a house a good home for our family. he was also knowledgeable about things that may not be great qualities for our family. Ryan stayed on top of all new listings that became available that we would be interested in and shared them with us immediately. He always made himself available to take us out to see houses and would always find answers to questions that we had. He was always punctual and never rushed us. When we decided to purchase a home that hadn't been built yet, Ryan made himself available to come to our home gallery meetings and every meeting with the builders. Even after we purchased our home he was always present for walk throughs, meetings, and contacted the builders on our behalf to make sure everything was being handled appropriately. Ryan Breeden made the process of finding, building, and buying our house a wonderful experience!

Not only did we get an absolute steal on our house, but we got a steal on our real estate agent Ryan Breeden. Ryan's attention to detail, sense of urgency and his commitment to get us the best deal was over the top. Buying a house is a significant investment and it's absolutely imperative that you have someone like Ryan that can level set with you on the realities when purchasing a home. Also, it was great to have someone on your side that is fighting for you to maximize every detail to your advantage so that you're getting the absolute best deal you can get. His experience in the real estate market really showed and we will definitely use him again if we ever have to buy a house.

Amazing is an understatement! Ryan showed us about 10 different houses and in each one he helped us look for things we would've otherwise missed as first time home buyers. He showed us how to check for mold, looked at the plumbing and checked the electric in each of the houses we looked at. As we visited homes Ryan really honed in on what we wanted and what would be deal breakers for us. Ryan was on the hunt for us. He knew what we wanted and we really felt like he wasn't going to let us settle for something that wasn't just right. We enlisted his help in August 2012 and were working against the clock because the lease at the apartment we were renting was ending in October. Ryan worked with our schedules to show us homes on the weekends and at night. He never made us feel rushed. Thanks to Ryan we found the perfect home for us at the end of September. However, as first time home buyers that was only the tip of the iceberg. There was still, writing the offer, getting the home inspected, and settlement. Ryan was there each step of the way to guide us through an otherwise overwhelming process. Ryan met with us late one night to write the offer because my husband and I were so eager to get the house we wanted to get it to the seller ASAP. He offered us advice and made sure we were comfortable with each step of the process. We even met at his kitchen table one night to sign a lead-paint addendum the seller had added at the last minute. Our experience working with Ryan could not have been better. He is accessible to his clients and really wants the best for them! We are so thankful we found him when we did. We settled on October 26th, 4 days before our lease was up!

"Ryan Breeden was a great realtor to work with. He helped my husband and I sell and buy. He did a fantastic job marketing our house; we had multiple offers within the first week and under contract the following week. Ryan was also very patient with us while searching for the right house; he spent many, many hours with us.  All his hard work and patience paid off, we found the house of our dreams. He went above and beyond to make the whole process as stress free and seamless as possible.  We would highly recommend Ryan!"

Ryan represented us in the sale of our old house and the purchase of a new one. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. We have worked with a handful of realtors in the past and none of them gave us the attention, dedication and effort that Ryan gave us. He was very responsive and easy to get a hold of throughout our buying and selling process. His knowledge of real estate and the housing market helped us avoid some costly mistakes and made us feel confident that our best interests were looked after. Ryan's greatest qualities as an agent would be his negotiation skills and understanding of real estate contracts. Buying and selling our house was one of the most stressful events in our life, should we ever decide to move, I would not hesitate to use Ryan again.

Ryan was recommended to us by our good friends, who purchased their first home with him. So when we were ready to purchase OUR first home, we gave Ryan a call! He was informative, friendly, patient, and flexible (especially because we could only meet him in the evenings, often with our infant son in tow). With his help, we found our starter home-- it's so perfect! With Ryan at our side, the closing process was painless. We'll definitely call on him again if we're looking to buy / sell in the future! He comes highly recommended.

Having purchased 6 homes over the past 25 years, we can easily say that Ryan is the best real estate agent we've ever worked with. He was professional, highly knowledgable, prompt, very responsive, always available, energetic, optimistic, a good listener, and fun to work with. As with any real estate transaction, unexpected challenges surface along the way. When faced with such challenges, Ryan dealt with each of them calmly, confidently, and always with a pleasant demeanor. There was never a moment when Ryan didn't have a good plan to move forward. He understood what we were looking for in a home/community/school system and targeted his search to identify the right opportunities. When a promising property emerged, Ryan knew about it immediately (and sometimes in advance) thereby giving us an edge in the "seller's" market we faced. His experience showed having an excellent command of real estate transaction mechanics, great understanding of negotiation tactics and local nuances, an extensive understanding of competitors, and expansive "rolodex" of service providers. We have no hesitation is recommending Ryan to anyone seeking a real estate agent.

Ryan was recommended to us through our close friends. We couldn't have found a better realtor! We looked for a single family home for two years without success prior to meeting Ryan. We described our wish list and Ryan showed us listings very close to what we wanted. He thoroughly researched recent sales in the area and also viewed the houses in person to better gauge an offer price. Ryan came prepared to viewings with detailed print outs. Ryan was our advocate! He worked with us determine an offer price. Unlike other realtors we worked with, Ryan recommended prices instead of leaving that completely to our discretion. With low interest rates and the Fed about to raise rates, it was a seller's market. Unfortunately, we were out-bid on all the houses we were interested in. We decided to purchase a new build home instead. Ryan's previous experience with new builds was instrumental in our purchase. He was our gateway in communications with the builder. Even with a new home, Ryan recommended options that increased the home value and negotiated the purchase price on our behalf. During construction Ryan attended key meetings. Down to the wire, our mortgage broker nearly missed our settlement date because he did not arrange a home inspection. Ryan stepped in and called the builder and inspection company. Even after moving, Ryan checked in to see how things were going. He is the BEST realtor a buyer can have! We highly recommend him!!

Ryan Breeden was a pleasure to work with. Ryan made the process painless and easy. He is extremely professional and spot on with the information that he provides. If you are buying or selling a home or plan to in the future. I highly recommend you get in touch with him. Thanks, Ryan!!
