Columbia Real Estate

Ryan Martin was extremely patient with us. We started searching almost a year before we found the home that fit our interests and needs. He helped us find homes that had the things that mattered most to us. When we finally found the right home, he helped us in our negotiation strategy to ensure we knew what we would need to to if we wanted to be the selected buyers. We were even able to get the home at asking price thanks to his knowledge of negotiation tactics. He answered any questions that we had and made closing on the house extremely smooth. He then helped us sell our house and that was even more painfree than buying. I highly recommend Ryan Martin as your realtor, no matter what stage of home buying or selling you are in.

What I appreciate most about Ryan Martin is his flexibility and strategic approach. Even when I changed game plans on him very last minute he was supportive and switched gears quickly. He is always thinking strategy and was great about explaining why the strategy was his recommended approach, while still being clear that the final decision was mine to make. It’s evident that Ryan is well-established and respected in the real estate and adjacent community, he connected me to several contractors for bids on work I needed done that I was also very satisfied with. I could not recommend Ryan more.

As very picky, first-time home buyers in a difficult market, our realtor Karen Harned went above and beyond to make sure we found a house that we loved. She accompanied us to dozens of house showings and gave expert insight on condition of the homes, information about the neighborhoods, and potential improvements to make the space more accommodating and improving the worth of the house. She had expert advice on how to make an attractive offer that resulted in our offer being accepted even though it was not the highest cash value offer. Once our offer was accepted, Karen walked us through each step leading to closing so the whole process was predictable and as easy as possible. We highly recommend Karen as a caring, experienced, and professional realtor that will help find the perfect house.
