We are extremely satisfied with the Ryan & Brian Team. The effort and determination of the team to work around our busy schedules in conjunction with their own, their friendliness and candid professional approach. It was a great experience!
When I first started real estate I wanted to make sure it was a smart career choice. I looked for a company that had a strong foundation, great production record, agent training, advanced marketing techniques, leads, top reviews, I can go on and on. However, after doing my homework and running across Ryan and Brian while online I saw all of those qualities plus more. Needless to say, I looked no further. Glad to say I am part of such a hard-working, talented group of individuals.
My husband and I worked with Ryan and Brian while selling a home and purchasing a new home. They were enthusiastic, hard working, efficient and extremely professional. And they were able to get us out of our old home and into a new home quickly! I would encourage anyone wanting to buy or sell a house or other property to team up with the Ryan and Brian Real Estate Team!
I highly recommend Ryan & Brian to help you sell your home! Within two weeks of putting up the sign, the house was under contract. They always responded to my calls and concerns very promptly. The closing was so smooth! I would never know how to do all this on my own. Thank you to everyone on the Ryan & Brian Team.
I have had the privilege of working with Ryan & Brian Real Estate Team on several occasions. They are hard-working, efficient, thorough, and professional. Any questions are quickly researched and answered and contracts followed through to completion. I highly recommend them to anyone wishing to purchase real estate in the Rio Grande Valley.
As first time home buyers, Ryan Peterson was patient enough to show my wife and I a wide variety of houses and guide us in purchasing the best home for us. It’s been over two years since we bought our first house, and we continue to love our home more and more each day. Thanks again to the Ryan & Brian Team.
Ryan and his incredible team helped us sell our home extremely fast. The house went on the market on a Friday and we had an offer on the table by the next week! They were on top of everything from start to finish, and kept us in the loop throughout the entire process. We are truly blessed to have worked with such honest and trustworthy people that definitely had our best interest in mind.
The most professional, reliable and cutting edge real estate team you’ll find in the RGV. I had a wonderful experience purchasing our family vacation home with the support and guidance of the R&B team.
I had a great experience with The Ryan and Brian Real Estate Team. Ryan’s expert advice made purchasing my first home a smooth and pleasant experience. He was always available to answer any questions that I had and was attentive to my needs. I would definitely recommend them.
