I unconditionally recommend Ryan Desch!

I unconditionally recommend Ryan Desch. He is experienced, intelligent, knowledgeable, and highly conscientious. In January 2022, he listed our house in Lawrence, took outstanding photos, hosted a busy open-house, and communicated with us regularly during three solid days of showings (we had moved to a motel). The property was under contract after 3 days, at the price we wanted. He guided us candidly through inspection and appraisal. The title company agent said that when she sees Ryan’s name on a file for closing, she breathes a sigh of relief – she knows everything will have been done exactly right. My husband and I have used a number of different realtors over the years, and I can tell you that, from start to finish, Ryan’s professionalism was exceptional. But there’s more. Ryan and Katie (his wife and partner) operate their business (R+K) using a cutting-edge model that enables them to charge much lower commission fees, while still giving customers full and complete services. The commissions for our transaction were $9,000 less than they would have been using conventional real estate sales agents. They do this by cutting back overhead and maximizing the use of technology. Everything in our relationship with Ryan Desch truly exceeded our expectations. He's great guy and has established an impressive and innovative business.

Ryan is awesome! I was a first-time home buyer and Ryan was incredibly helpful in guiding me through the process. He looked out for me at each step (from house visits, to offer, inspections, and closing, and everything in between) and was always available to answer my (often silly) questions. He is also very knowledgeable of the local area and his recommendations on local contractors and services has been invaluable. I highly recommend R+K Real Estate Solutions, they're the best!

Ryan was simply outstanding! We had bought a house with another agent

Ryan was simply outstanding! We had bought a house with another agent. When it came time to sell our house, I found Ryan through UpNest. His business model and the cost savings it offered us, was the initial motivator. I must admit, I was fairly confident we would get what we paid for and was delighted to find a knowledgable agent with excellent communication skills instead. We had an wonderful experience selling our house thanks to Ryan.
