Testimonials

When choosing a real estate professional, get to know their history!

Below, you'll find information that will help you get to know me better.
 
I consider the satisfaction of my clients to be my greatest achievement, and take pride in my high volume of repeat business and referrals.

Call me today - I'd love to add you to this growing list!

When it comes to customer experience, we often share and discuss disappointing experiences with friends and family, or more rarely when the experience has been exceptionally we want to let others know about it.  It is certainly the latter in the case of working with Ryan Diehl to buy and sell my home.  I truly believe no realtor could match the same level of service I got from Ryan.

 

Ryan was recommended to me by a friend and helped me purchase my first home.  As a first time home buyer, I was everything from anxious to nervous, excited to impatient.  I worry way too much, and I was so afraid I'd forget to do something, make a wrong decision, or that someone else would forget to do something. After a few days of working with Ryan, I realized I didn't have to worry anymore.  Ryan does all the worrying for you!  He follows up on everything, has impeccable attention to detail, and constantly gave me updates on the status of things throughout the process (even if, for example, the update was to let me know there's no change or he hasn't heard back from someone yet).  Not once did I ever feel like he forgot about me, or was too busy.

 

Even though I know I'm not Ryan's only client, I always felt like he was working just for me and completely focused on me.  Even on weekends and on his annual vacation I was getting emails and updates from him (even though he had a backup colleague to take care of things)!  It's pretty rare to get that kind of service. Waiting to hear back on an offer, I think Ryan lost more sleep than me because he was just as excited.

 

Since the purchase of my first home 3 years ago, I've just recently sold it and purchased another home with Ryan.  When selling my home, he was focused on getting the best price possible just as if it was his own home he was selling.  Same thing when buying - I felt like he treated my money as carefully as he would his own and I was very happy with the negotiation and outcome. It's a no brainer on who my real estate agent is going to be when it comes time to sell again.  I wouldn't consider using anyone else as my realtor, even if they were my own mother, father, best friend, etc.

 

Ryan is the best.

Buying and selling a home can sometimes be a frustrating experience.  When I bought my last home, my realtor experience was less than great.  In fact, I figured that given my experience, all realtors were the same. 

 

We met Ryan about 2 years ago, when friends of ours purchased their first home.  We witnessed the way they were treated, the thoroughness and attention to detail that Ryan provided to them.   I wondered if my original painting of all realtors with the same course brush was perhaps unwarranted.

 

In the spring of this year, we decided to list our home, and upgrade to a larger home.   Our first call was to Ryan.  We invited him over to discuss our options.  When he arrived he was prepared, and had in fact anticipated some of our questions.   Ryan walked us through how he would approach selling our home, what he would do to market and sell our home and then provided a written Customer Service Guarantee. 

 

Ryan successfully sold our home under a multiple offer situation, which impressed us – and to some degree added pressure to find a new home.  Ryan’s approach was calm, cool and collected, he kept our stress levels to a minimum.  He made several recommendations around dates and timing, we in-turn provided him with a list of places that we were interested in seeing.   Appointments were made, and by the time we met for our private showings, Ryan had prepared research, and provided insights to everything from neighbourhood, to maintenance to expect, to potential return of investment down the road.   This was significantly different from my previous experience – where I provided the listing I was interested in, the time, and relied on myself to complete the research. 

 

In the end, we found our new home for the next stage of our life, Ryan actively negotiated a favourable deal for us, and we have recently moved in.  

We have recommended Ryan to our friends, and continue to recommend Ryan to anyone who is in the Real Estate Market. 

 

Ryan exceeded our expectations, readily responded to our inquiries, provided above and beyond advice and recommendations.

We want to take an opportunity to recommend Ryan Diehl to anyone who is interested in purchasing or selling a home.  
 
My name is Michelle Sherwood and my husband is Mike.  We are both working professionals, who love living in British Columbia.  We have 2 children, and we were living on Vancouver Island until we recently learned that our careers would be taking us to Vancouver and that we would need to find a new home quickly.
 
We did not know any realtors in Vancouver but knew that we wanted someone with integrity, experience and great organization and communication skills. We interviewed many different realtors from many different companies, but none of them really impressed us, until we met Ryan Diehl. 
 
Ryan really stood out from the other realtors because of his accountability, impeccable communication skills, and knowledge of real estate in the lower mainland.  We could tell right away that Ryan was our man. 
 
Ryan researched various areas of North Vancouver for us and helped us find the house of our dreams.  He was very honest and patient with us and not pushy. He is very good at reading people, and he listened to us and learned and researched to find what we wanted.
 
We really appreciated his personal touch, and felt that he really cared about finding us a home we would love, not just about making a sale.
 
Some of Ryan’s personal touches that stood out were, he created a binder of our “likes and dislikes” in houses we viewed, he helped us prioritize our needs, and he was always timely in his emails and phone follow ups.  Not to mention that, what other realtor rewards their customers with a cruise vacation at the end of their purchase?
 
We could tell that Ryan really loves his job and that he cares about people.  Ryan puts people first, and his extensive customer service experience is really evident in his work. 
 
Ryan has a great sense of style and we are so happy with the work that he did for us.  My family is thoroughly satisfied with Ryan’s service from beginning to end, and we are happy to share this great experience with others.
 
Purchasing or selling a home, is a very big thing and it can be stressful, however, Ryan alleviated this for us and made the experience fun.  It is important that you can rely on the realtor you choose and know that he or she is sincerely working for you and your interests. 
 
We trust Ryan and are extremely confident in recommending him to others, so their experience can be as successful as ours was.  Now excuse me, but, we’ve got to go and plan our cruise!

 

Sincerely,

Michelle and Mike Sherwood

My name is Jennifer. My daughter had recently been accepted into UBC. As a family, we decided to take the plunge and join her on her journey and follow her to our new home in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia. After only visiting Vancouver a few times, we were uneducated of its surroundings, but with some research, decided that New Westminister was the place for us.

After feeling overwhelmed with many hours of MLS searches, we finally got in contact with Ryan We were very impressed with him from the start. He reviewed our choices and found many more properties that also fit our needs. Being from Manitoba, we did most of our communicating through emails and Ryan was very prompt with his replies, always showing sincere concern for our needs or concerns.


We planned our weekend trip to Vancouver and with Ryan’s help and guidance, we spent two days viewing properties in the Victoria Hill community. What a beautiful place! Ryan had our schedule perfectly planned which made our condo shopping a breeze. Not only did he keep us well informed, comfortable and as ease, he also kept us laughing and made what would normally be a stressful experience, rather an enjoyable one.


Ryan has an extremely pleasant and courteous nature. After choosing our condo, signing the documents and heading back home to Manitoba, Ryan still continues to keep in touch on a regular basis. He is still going above and beyond for us. Being that we purchased a new condo, there were things that needed to be done that we could not physically do ourselves while still living in Manitoba. Ryan offered to do the walk through of our condo and even took pictures for us. We were completely comfortable leaving this task for him. Ryan knows what needs to be done and gets it done.


In just two short months we will be moving into our new home, in our new beautiful city. Thanks to Ryan, the process was painless and a pleasure. See you in July Ryan... can’t wait!

I recently had Ryan act as my realtor to sell my condo, and let me say, I have nothing but good things to say.  Ryan is someone that genuinely seems to care about your affairs and doing what is in your best interest.  He has great attention to detail and listens well to you, in addition to providing his valuable professional input and opinions.  He was always available for me and very easy to get in contact with, which is very important to me.  Ryan definitely went the extra mile in various ways to take care of me and ensure that I was informed and comfortable during the whole process.  Again, very impressive.  You don’t get the impression that you are just another sale and that he takes that for granted.  In my professional and personal life, I like to deal with people who are on top of things, easy to deal with and have good ethical values.  Ryan has all of these attributes. The bottom line is I would not hesitate to recommend Ryan as a realtor for any of my family, friends or colleagues, as I have already been more than happy to do…and I will certainly be calling on him again for my next property transaction!! Thanks Ryan!!

 

Rod McNeil, CGA

I'm writing this testimonial to express my sincere thanks to Ryan for all of his help with my recent condominium purchase.

 

This was my 5th condominium purchased in 7 years and I can honestly say I've never had a realtor take me through the buying process as carefully and as thoroughly as Ryan did.  His attention to detail and his professionalism really stood out from the other realtors I've used in the past.  I also found the initial process of reviewing listings via the web links he sent me fantastic - super easy- and allowed me to really narrow down my search in an effective way!

 

Thanks again for all of your assistance.  I'll definitely be using you again for my next purchase and I would not hesitate to refer Ryan to anyone who asks.

When Karly and I decided to sell our condominium in Port Coquitlam, we interviewed several real estate agents in order to find the Realtor that we felt would be most likely to keep our best interests in mind while at the same time sell our property in a timely fashion.  Ryan presented us with a detailed and very well put together plan to sell our home that gave us both comfort and confidence.  Once we had seen his presentation, our decision was made easy.  Once given the green light, Ryan went to work for us immediately hiring a real estate marketing company to take professional photography and videography of our property giving us an immediate advantage.  We were kept informed through each step of the process, from market updates as listings around ours changed to detailed open house reports.  Ryan’s professional approach to the most important transaction of our lives thus far was more than appreciated as we always felt we were being taken care of.  His attention to detail and knowledge of real estate laws, rules, and standards was very impressive to say the least, and again, put our minds at ease.  We would recommend Ryan to anyone interested in buying or selling real estate without a moment’s hesitation.  His level of commitment, friendly demeanor, and complete professionalism made our home-selling experience a very positive one and for that we are truly grateful.

 

Sincerely,

Troy and Karly Brown

Recently my husband and I found ourselves ready to buy our first home.  The prospect seemed daunting and, as we had no experience with the real estate market, we had no idea where to start.  As soon as we contacted Ryan all our concerns disappeared.  He was patient and kind throughout the whole process; he expertly guided us through the properties without being pushy and all the while making sure that we didn’t miss any important details. He listened to us and understood immediately what we were looking for and what we needed; always keeping us within our budget.  It was very comforting to work with someone who really seemed to care about us, rather than just the sale.

I cannot imagine going through this process with a different realtor.  Ryan made the whole experience fun and easy. 

It was a great pleasure working with Ryan, and we look forward to the time when we will be able to work with him again. 

 

Sincerely,

 

Maria and Kevin Kendall

Dear Ryan,

Having not dealt with a realtor before and being first time buyers we had no idea of what to do. You helped to guide us through the steps that we needed to take in order to make the right purchase for us, and made it fun along the way.

So, we began a series of steps which led to an offer to purchase. During that time we looked at a number of different condominium unit types in a wide range of prices. Based on your excellent advice and guidance we were able to purchase a property set to provide an exciting first home and a great opportunity for a personalised renovation. It will be a good investment and when we are ready to sell and purchase our next homes, we will certainly be contacting you.

You were available when we needed you. You introduced us as first time buyers to the procedures we should expect. You provided us with useful comparative analysis and pricing strategy. You prepared us well for making our first home purchase. Your professionalism and courtesy, conscientious and timely manner establish you clearly as an agent that we trust to be our representative.

Again, thank you!

sincerely,

Andre Lafleche & William Dahl

I have been in the real estate market for many years and have had the pleasure of working with many different real estate agents, all of whom pale in comparison with the service I received working with Ryan Diehl.

 

Ryan lives the “above and beyond” mentality when it comes to working with his clients. He makes sure that everything is done correctly; in a timely manner and that his clients are truly satisfied with the outcome.

 

Ryan is one of the most professional realtors I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with and I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. After this latest experience with purchasing a new home, I will never use anyone else for my real estate needs.

 

Thank you for all your time, effort and hard work Ryan. You made this experience as stress free as possible which was truly appreciated.

 

Sincerely,

 
Jason Brunelle

When we finally decided to purchase our first home, we asked Ryan for his help to narrow our selection, and act as our agent.  As first time buyers we had plenty of questions and Ryan helped us understand the process.  After getting our ‘wish list’ and our ‘must haves’ he went to work finding suitable properties for us to review.  Like many first time home buyers, it took a while to settle on just exactly what we were looking for.  When we were ready to make an offer, Ryan leapt into action, coached us on how to make the right offer for the multiple offer situation we were in.  This offer was right for us, and apparently right for the buyer!  We got the suite that reflected almost every item on our wish list. 

 

Ryan always made us feel like we were his only clients (although I know that certainly wasn’t the case).  He was very responsive and took a personal interest in getting us into the right home.  I would recommend Ryan without hesitation.

 

Jeff Myers and Daniel Kennedy

Thank you Ryan for assisting us as newcomers to Canada with purchasing our first property and obtaining financing.  Thank you for expertly guiding us through the various potential pitfalls of acquiring a property.  Ryan's suggestions and comments were very helpful, enabling us to make the best decision for our circumstances.  We appreciated Ryan's professional conduct, patience and diligence.
We would not hesitate to recommend Ryan as a Realtor to any prospective buyer.
 
Nellie and Paul De lange
When I decided to buy my first home, I found myself both anxious and overwhelmed by the confusing process.  Having limited means, specific requirements and no real estate knowledge, I knew I would be a challenge for any realtor.  Then I found Ryan.  I am certain that I would have given up the search, had it not been for the ever present support and guidance of my truly amazing realtor, Ryan Diehl.  Not only is he attentive, thorough and extremely knowledgeable, but a great person of integrity and compassion.  Ryan helped me make a solid and informed choice, reassured me when I needed it, and made me feel like I was his only client.  He went above and beyond to help me through all of the obstacles I encountered, and has earned my admiration, confidence and business for life.  It was a genuine pleasure to meet and work with Ryan, and I will be recommending him to anyone in need of a true professional with a heart.  Thank You Ryan!  I love my new home!
 
Vanessa Hill

We would both like to thank you for the help in selling our home.  You did an awesome job of investigating the area as it was new to you. 

 

The information you bought to show us, the comparisons was unbelievable.  Neither of us has ever heard of any Real Estate agent being so well prepared.

 

Your suggestions for improving the presentation were spot on and certainly did help.  We also appreciated the fact that you were there for every showing and the keys were not handed over to other realtors.  It made us feel very secure about strangers being in our home.

 

It was a pleasure doing business with you.  Your eagerness and professionalism were appreciated by both of us.  If we decide to purchase real estate in the future we will be contacting you as soon as possible.

 

Thank you again

“RYAN YOU CLOSED THE DIEHL”

Ryan, it is with sincere gratitude and pleasure that we extend this testimonial to share with your future clients.  As first time home buyers, we needed someone professional and experienced to assist us with the purchase of our new home.  Lucky for us we found Ryan Diehl.  From the time we met Ryan he was on top of his game.  Without any pressure Ryan was able to assist us throughout the entire process. 

Although our timelines were extremely tight and we had no contacts for lenders, lawyers, inspectors or anything else; Ryan came to the table with a network of professional resources and everyone delivered on every promise on time and on budget. 

Ryan provided numerous added value services, information and resources enabling us to focus on our new home and not on the pressures of the process.  We truly believe our new home purchase would not have happened smoothly and efficiently if we hadn’t had Ryan on our side.  Ryan we owe you a lot and many future memories in our new home will be in large part due to your efforts.  We encourage all our friends and colleagues to make Ryan Diehl their deal maker!
Best regards,
James Davidson and Geoff Hogue

My experience with using Ryan Diehl as my Realtor was a very pleasurable one. He was very professional and I WILL use him again. Just a few points I would like to point out to anyone that is considering him as their agent.

- Always keeping clients informed of what is going on with their deal.

- Felt like he was my personal agent, only working for me

- Ensured that banking and other deals were being taken care of

- Always asked If I had any questions

I purchased my home in the lower main land while living in the North. Ryan kept me in the loop of all the particulars, made suggestions, and always asked if I had any questions or concerns. I would recommend his service to anyone. Thanks Ryan!

Greg Murphy

Just a word of thanks for the support, work and in the moment of "offer" time, the generosity you have given us.

Even to this day we tell ourselves how much we enjoy the area, the building and the fact that we OWN it! We are HAPPY!

After the numerous properties you sent us through email and the numerous "leaky" or "other" properties you warned us about and the number of times we just wanted to give up the search, your positive and determined nature kept the dream alive.

Having you in our corner gave us confidence and a feeling of ease. As first time buyers we thought we knew what to expect but at times were surprised by what you saw through your eyes and were thankful you were there to "hide behind" and also learn from.

Thanks to you, the experience of searching for our first home was very enjoyable. We would recommend your winning style to anyone who needs or wants a serious agent.

With many thanks,

YUKI & RANDY

We first met Ryan in June 2008, while attending one of his 'Open House' events. We found him so professional - and yet so approachable and instantly likeable - that having decided there-and-then to make an offer for the condo, we decided to use him as our purchasing agent.

He expertly and patiently guided us through the intricacies of the purchasing process, and we 'closed the deal' within 48 hours. We had the keys to new condo by the end of July 2008.

When we came to sell our existing condo in September 2008, we unhesitatingly chose to use Ryan.  Always there for our - rather than his - convenience, he effectively shouldered the burden of selling for us. His steady, calm manner and up-beat and ever-helpful approach was invaluable - particularly in such a depressed market.  In the end, we needn't have worried, and our condo sold exactly as he predicted.

We heartily recommend Ryan to anyone - buyers or sellers.  If we ever need to buy or sell again, we know we'll use Ryan.

Ryan Diehl is wise, knowledgeable, insightful, persistent, respectful,
thoughtful, patient, funny, and generally a super guy to have on your team.
He takes the time to explain clearly all the vagaries of buying/selling real
estate, and shares his expertise on the market and the process. I'd
recommend him to anybody who wants to actually enjoy and learn from the
process of finding the perfect home - the biggest investment most of us
make.

As a first time buyer, I had a lot of questions and wasn't sure what to look for.  Ryan explained everything I needed to know, and was a wealth of information regarding the buying process.  I felt very confident in my purchase, thanks to Ryan's knowledge and patience.  I would recommend him to anyone who is interested in buying or selling.  Thanks Ryan!

"Ryan Diehl has completely surpassed my expectations as a real estate agent. I emailed Ryan in the hopes that he would be my realtor in my quest to find a condominium in Vancouver. In a matter of hours he responded to my email and pinpointed all the details he needed from me to make house hunting both quick and efficient. Less than 2 weeks later, and after only 4 viewings, we had made an offer on a condo that had every feature for which I was hoping. My offer was accepted that evening (thanks to Ryans clever negotiating skills) and I am now looking forward to moving into my new home. Ryan has a keen interest in helping people find the home that suits them best and is particularly talented at focusing on the wants and needs of his clients. His demeanor is warm and friendly and he takes the time to explain all the complex details to his clients so that buying a home is exciting rather than frightening. Ryan truly made this experience a positive one for me.

 

Thank you, Ryan!"
