Chris Ryder

We have worked with Chris a few times now and he's been wonderful in all experiences. He's cool, calm and collected and has endless patience for the process. He's always happy to talk through any issues, offer ideas and recommendations and never feels like he's pressuring an agenda. He understands buying and selling, understands the market and the locations and knows how to navigate it all smoothly. And he's a great guy to hang with through the process. Would definitely work with him again!

Chris helped me to find and buy my first home. He was very helpful and supportive throughout the whole process. From the beginning Chris was honest and always gave me good advice from scheduling showings to connecting utilities.

Chris loves what he does and it comes through in the way that he treats his clients and his profession. He will fight for you, he will educate you, and he will guide you. He is not interested in short-term gains and transactional relationships.

Chris was fantastic to work with! When I wanted to sell my condo in Santa Monica, I interviewed several other agents before talking to Chris. Once I met with Chris, it was obvious to me that he understood the business and knew the market. By chance, I had to move out of town only 18 months after having purchased my condo, so I knew I would take a loss, but Chris developed a solid marketing strategy that ultimately resulted in a price point that was unprecedented for my area of Santa Monica. All along the way, Chris was responsive and helpful. I was busy at work (and Burning Man) and would get lost in Docusigns and tasks and he would gently remind ...

Chris did an outstanding job helping us buy our first home. It’s very clear he cares about his clients in a way that others might not. He was always there to answer the many questions we had and proactively advised us on the many things we weren’t thinking of as first time home buyers. He is super knowledgeable about so many different Los Angeles neighborhoods and made time to visit numerous houses and neighborhoods with us (sometimes multiple times!). He is excellent at negotiating and strategy, especially on tight timelines when it really matters. We really can’t thank Chris enough for being such an amazing real estate broker and friend. We will d...

If youre even considering buying, or selling real estate, you should call Chris. He is a skilled professional that will help you navigate the ups and downs of real estate. We have now sold and bought 2 different places with him. Each time we've sold he's helped us get maximum value for our place (in one case it was the highest price for our square footage in the history of the city) and each time we've bought he's helped us negotiate the best price. He really does care about you. He isn't trying to push you into the first deal that comes along. He'll let you know when it's time to pass and time to take hold of an opportunity. You won't find some...

As first time homebuyers, we were naive and uncertain about the entire process. Chris not only eased our concerns but he also went above and beyond, seeking to really know our preferences and desires regarding styles and layouts. He was patient with us throughout and by the end, we found the perfect home for our family- and for the right price! In fact, Chris was so effective and personal that we opted to utilize his services to sell our house 5 years later. He helped to stage our home and brought in an excellent professional photographer that really gave our home the “WOW” effect. Whether you’re looking to buy or sell, Chris Ryder is your “go-to”...

Chris Ryder completely earned my trust. He takes his work, his service and his advice with a deeply serious intelligence that makes me sure he will find me exactly the right place, a home that fits my life and my budget. He brings me good choices and never tries to sell anything, but rather listens to my reactions in order to hone his search and find that perfect place. He understands that balance between what I want and what can happen. Working with him fills me with hope. I'd unequivocally recommend Chris Ryder to anyone needing a home.

Chris was an absolute joy to work with. I’ve never worked with a more knowledgeable and caring agent in my life. He works incredibly hard to make sure you find a place you love and at that you get a fair deal. I couldn’t recommend him higher!

In a real estate landscape in which people are debating the value that realtors provide to the home buying/selling process, Chris Ryder stands as a shining example of what a realtor can and should be. The phrase "above and beyond" doesn't do enough to describe how Chris Ryder operates, but it's a start. Being relative "beginners," Chris was incredibly patient, answering every question and talking us through the details. We especially appreciated his discerning eye on homes, with an expert opinion on the pros/cons, often pointing out elements of the house that we hadn't considered. It helped that Chris was also with us for every open house, every to...

Chris was an incredible agent. As a first time homebuyer, he was tremendously informative and kept me on task, giving me daily updates on where I was in the process and what needed to be accomplished that week. He really fought for me every step of the way. I would highly recommend him, and have even told my friends who were starting to look that they must use Chris. A+ all the way!

We had a great home buying experience with Chris. He was incredibly knowledgeable about every LA neighborhood, and went above and beyond to find us the right home. Wonderfully responsive and proactive in aiding our search. We truly could not have done it without him, and we could not be happier!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Chris. I highly praise his professionalism and dedication to his clients. His experience and expertise were invaluable throughtout the entire homebuying process from identifying listings that corresponded to my requirements and negotiating on my behalf to guiding me through my mortgage application and administrative obligations.

We were first time home buyers and were referred Chris by a friend and colleague after a not so great experience with another agent. We immediately felt like we were in the right hands. Night and day. Having an experienced, thorough, knowledgeable, hard working, detail oriented, pleasant, available, etc etc person on our side was priceless. Even after the close he has remained a resource to us. We cannot say enough great things about him.

hris was so incredibly helpful in our home buying process, from our first meeting through the days following our official closing. As first time home buyers, he made us feel comfortable, informed, and stress free. I never felt the need to micro manage him, as I trusted him entirely to not allow anything to slip through the cracks. He kept us informed daily, answered any and every question we had, and never ever seemed bothered with our neediness. Last but definitely not least, Chris’ negotiation skills were A+. It took us a few offers to find our dream house, but with each one, he built amazing and helpful relationships with the listing agents that ...

Top notch agent, champion and all round nice Bloke! Loved every minute working alongside him. Went beyond the call of duty, and delivered the sale. Made some excellent, yet cost effective suggestions to assist in getting the property sold. Wasn’t shy about asking the tough questions to get the job done. For example, we gave the neighbors house a lick of paint. He wasn’t too pushy, seemed to genuinely enjoy the process, and made life pretty easy for everyone. Rate him highly.

If we could give Chris Ryder 1000000000 stars instead of a measly 5, we would! Chris’ patience with us as we figured out where we wanted to live never waned throughout our long search process. Always available to answer our many questions, he was equipped with extensive knowledge about the market, the buying process and the negotiation stage. Not once did we ever feel rushed or pushed to make any decisions we weren’t ready to make. Touring properties with Chris felt more like touring properties with a good friend rather than an agent. When we found the house of our dreams, Chris was there and ready to guide us through the negotiation stage, always ...

This was the second time working with Chris. Both times he has been a great resource of knowledge and expertise. Chris picked the perfect time to list my home and premarket to gain some excitement. This proved to be a success with 16 offers in 3 days! Sold my home for $86k over asking with a 23% increase in 2 years!! Chris is trust worthy and will make it all happen smoothly!

Wow. Chris was incredible in our home search. Moving to DTLA from Arizona was a big leap and having a knowledgeable and empathetic guide during was critical. He not only knew the area impeccably, but was able to negotiate very challenging logistics. Being the first people to move into a new building required foresight that we could always rely on Chris and his network to investigate thoroughly. Everything from security, parking arrangements to general info, Chris consistently was ahead of the ball, day and night. It took us ALMOST 11 MONTHS to close on escrow due to Federal regulations and Chris encouraged us throughout, never making us feel lik...

Chris helped me buy a house when no one thought I would be able to purchase a home in Los Angeles . He walked me through each step to home ownership and was patience and went above and beyond to make sure I understood the process and never gave up on me finding the home that was just right for me . if you are looking for the best agent in Los Angeles look no further, you’ve found him!

Chris was all in from our first meeting. He spent the time giving me a great overview of properties in West Hollywood and the Hills where I was looking. Once I found a place I loved he negotiated a great price with extras. The closing was swift and clear. He has checked in and helped with issues that arose post closing. I trust him. And I’m a NY’er we don’t trust easy. He will be my broker on my next deal.

Chris was fantastic resource for us. We were first time prospective home buyers and don’t have a clue what we were doing. Chris held our hands through the entire process. He took the time to understand what we were looking for and what was important to us. Once he understood this he made the effort to look for us on his own, and clearly understood us. We will definitely use Chris next time around. He clearly has knowledge of all different LA areas and price ranges. He’s still a valuable resource for us as first time home owners a few months after closing.

From open houses to closing escrow my wife and I had the best experience with Chris Ryder as our agent. This was our first time buying a home and Chris was incredibly helpful explaining the in's and out's of the process. Chris is a great listener and after a session discussing our needs quickly put a plan into action to help find the right house for us. Chris did a lot of leg work and visited many open houses on our behalf which saved us time, helped the narrow the search and really mitigated our stress. Chris is an agent who works tirelessly and genuinely cares about finding you the perfect place. We couldn't be happier with our new house and Chris...

As first time home buyers we leaned heavily on Chris' expertise to guide us safely through the home buying process. From the start, Chris was easy going, consultative in his approach and extremely knowledgeable. He understood the market, the buying process and each element of escrow including offer & repair negotiations. Most importantly, we trusted and enjoyed working with him. He was reachable 24/7, pulled data analysis to inform an educated offer, found us an incredible interest rate/loan opportunity, advised and critiqued our offer letter, and made calculated judgement calls to help us outbid 6 competing offers. I would recommend Chris without h...
