"Ryan did a wonderful job "quarterbacking" my condo buying process. He understood the market, and sufficiently educated me on what I could give versus take while shopping. I learned this to be an important exercise, and could not have pinpointed the winning property without his help. Ryan makes a conscious effort to educate clients first, instead of leading with what he has coined as "Realtor talk". His earnest, consultative approach is refreshing & much appreciated. The home buying process can be emotionally taxing. However, Ryan is an expert & will be cool as a cucumber which is critical during the closing process. I realized that if I just followed his lead it would all work out. In the end I found a great home at an excellent value, and had some fun while doing it!"

"After months of looking for a home, changing locations and real estate agents, I came across StartingPoint Realty. Ryan made the process of buying my first home easy (even though I'm very picky!). His knowledge and professionalism helped me greatly in making that final decision. Throughout this process I gained my first home and a new friend. It was a pleasure working with you Ryan and I'm looking forward to our future transactions."

"We just closed on our first home and could not be more excited. This day would not have been possible without our amazing Realtor Tammy Hufford! As first time homebuyers, we were unfamiliar with the home buying process, but Tammy helped educate us and remained by our side every step of the way. Tammy made house hunting a truly enjoyable experience with her humor, flexibility, and endless patience. Once we found “the one” Tammy answered all of our questions and helped us achieve a timely and pain free closing. Working with Tammy has been an extremely positive experience and we are recommending her to everyone we know.Thank you Tammy for your high energy and endless patience! We are incredibly happy with our new home."

"My agent at Starting Point was very helpful and caring even before I started looking for a place, made me feel like I was in good hands."

"Ryan's performance as my real estate agent excelled in every way. As a first time buyer purchasing a home alone, I was a bit apprehensive because of the stories I had heard about "pushy" agents. It's like going to purchase a car by yourself. You don't want the salesperson to take advantage of your naivete. This was definitely not the case with Ryan. His confident nature, his wealth of experience, and what I believe was his sincere interest in making the buying experience for the first-time home buyer a really good one, gained him my trust and raised my comfort level almost immediately. Besides, he's really a great guy! I especially note for affirmation Ryan's valuable contribution when we received the financial documents from the condo association. Ryan closely reviewed the documents and figures and discovered issues that were not fully disclosed to us. There's no way that I could have caught these issues on my own. I am so thankful to have worked with Ryan. When the time comes, I will call him again."

"Finding StartingPoint Realty was the best thing we could have ever found. To have someone in your corner to make sure you understand every step and to give you the support you need is something you will not find anywhere else. Ryan always answered our questions no matter what time of day or night, he made us feel like we were his only clients. Our home buying experience would never have been as fun or wonderful if we didn't have Ryan to show us the way. Not only did we find a great Realtor but we walked away with a great friend."
