Reviews of Michael Ryan Real Estate (Real Estate Agency)

Hailey Madley

Our experience with Michael was great. He knows the area and listened to us when we explained what we wanted. He was able to show us just what we were looking for in a house and helped us to find the best area for our family. Due to moving from out of state, it was awesome to have a Realtor who was willing to FaceTime our walk through so my Husband didn't have to fly to Idaho. He went above and beyond!

Samantha Williams

My wife and I moved from California to Idaho and Mike made the transition so easy! This was our first home we bought and he walked us through the process and he answered all our questions. Mike is very knowledgeable about the Boise area. We definitely would recommend him, he was easy to talk to and understood our needs!

Frank Seidman

Showed our home in Meridian and left our door unlocked. After he made an offer with low EMD we countered and he screamed at our realtor For asking for a normal EMD. We canceled our counter offer because I refuse to work with someone that unprofessional.

Kenneth Ross

It was a long drive up from Southern California to meet with Michael. After just a few hours of sleep he picked up our exhausted group bright and early the following morning. His charisma & great sense of humor quickly brought us from slow moving to the edge of our seats with our eyes & ears wide open! It was immediately clear to us that Michael was a fantastic realtor! He toured us all around the beautiful Boise area. He had such great knowledge of all things Idaho! What a fun, stress free, pressure free weekend! We couldn't have hoped for a more informative, professional, kind, & fun realtor to work with! Thank you so much, Michael!

This Broker does not seem to know Idaho Contracts he ask for proof of funds prior to contract yet in a cash offer it states that proof of funds will be provided within so many business days 3 (b) of an Idaho Real Estate Contract. He also verbally responds to offered before presenting to clients.

Ralph Kelly

Michael made every effort to make us feel welcomed and that our wants and needs were not only being heard, but expertly responded to. He could answer any questions we had, (and we very much picked his brain.) Overall we had a wonderful experience and look forward to using his services in the future.

I found Michael from a Radio commercial in So Cal. Mike has a subtle way he goes about letting me know that he knows what we need to stay focused on. He is very confident at what he does which helped us make a good decision. He is a tell it how it is kind a guy. He was very personable with us which made us feel like we knew him for longer than we did. He was always available to us for ALL the stupid little questions. He was also patient with us through the year or more process.

Mike Fletcher

A friend of mine gave me Mike's information and told that he would do a great job in helping my wife and I find a home. I met with Mike about six months ago and we started looking at homes. Then my wife and I decided we wanted to look into building a new home. Mike took his time to help get us started and should up to many of the appointments with the builder that he didn't have to show up for. As we got to the point of starting the digging the foundation of the new home we then decided that building was putting us outside of our budget. We decided to start looking a built homes again. Mike worked tirelessly to find us a home in our price range. We found a home with in two weeks and Mike was quick to respond and provide expertise in all areas. When we go to sell and buy again we will defiantly use Mike as our realtor and would recommend him to anyone we know.

If you are buying or selling a house do not hesitate to call Mike Edgar at Michael Ryan Real Estate. This is most likely the biggest purchase you will ever make and don't trust your friends relative that does it part time because they are your friend. Make sure you are using a professional. I met Mike a year ago and we have done a few deals together and he is the hardest working agent I've ever met, I've been in the mortgage industry since 1999 and have never seen someone work harder or more professional then Mike. I've recently decided to buy some rental properties and there was no question in my mind who I would use. I hear story after story about how clients had a bad experience and then they called Michael Ryan Real Estate and sold there house fast and for more than they expected. I promise you will not be disappointed, make your biggest purchase or the sale of your house a good experience and give Mike a try.

Dont use Kelly if you're on a schedule. Currently just short of 2 weeks late on sale. Didnt give anyone a heads up on the most recents sets of delays. When we went to sign paperwork it wasnt there and later found out his buyer was having issues with her loan. Then after my realtor works for days to straighten everything out and get ready to sign he says oh well the buyer cant fly here to sign like kelly said she would because she is pregnant. He should have gotten a power of attorney ahead of time so he could sign for her but no instead our sale got pushed back another day. He doesnt care that him and his client being behind is holding up 3 other home sales. He hasnt offered any compensation for extra costs accured because they are behind. If they let people know in advance things could have been rescheduled instead of paying extra.

Christopher Jenkins

Michael was a pleasure to work with. He always responded quickly to our questions and was able to help us out immediately, or get an answer to us in a timely manner. He is very knowledgeable about his job, and is respectful to his clients. Michael coordinated well with our lender, and worked well with the builders' listing agent to get us results. If you want a low pressure, professional home buying experience, I would highly recommend Michael for all of your real estate needs. Meridian home buyer

Mike Edgar helped me purchase my first home in March of 2018. Being a first time home buyer, I didn't know much. He drove me all around town and showed me every property that was in my price range. Mike was very patient and informative, he explained why some houses or apartments would not be a good idea for me to purchase, but never made me feel pressured. I asked Mike every question about buying a house, and if he didn't know an answer (not often that he didn't know) he would get back to me shortly with the answer. Mike helped me to find the perfect house. I 100% recommend Michael Ryan Real Estate!

Steve Watson

My wife and I first met Michael during the summer of 2016. Our goal was to find our next home, heading into potential retirement. This would be an out of state move, thus representing added hurdles and stress. We immediately hit it off when we first met, with Michael spending a solid day and a half with us. He not only showed us houses, but toured us thru the Boise, Meridian and Eagle. In May, 2017, we came back, this time to buy, again Michael devoted the entire Mothers Day weekend to make sure that in 48 hours we found our home. We did and here we are today moving into our new home in Eagle, excited about the new adventures and exploration of this beautiful state! First impressions matter, and Michael did not let us down. We would not hesitate for a moment in recommending Michael to any of our friends or family, looking for change. You're awesome Mike!.........Steve & Jackie

Danielle Duke

Just awful customer service. With so much competition, there are better agents & staff to complete business.

William Seay

We were so impressed with Michael's knowledge of the Nampa market. We had a specific list of amenities we we seeking in our new home and he came through for us. We were only in town for a couple of days and he had an impressive list of homes for us to see. He was quick to respond to any concerns or questions we had regarding the process. We are now living in the perfect home for us thanks to his efforts. We would recommend him to anyone relocating from out of town.

Sally Brown

Michael knew what it took to promote our home on the internet. He was the only realtor who suggested using a drone for better exterior pictures. He sold our home with multiple buyers for over the asking price.

Paul Handerson

If you want the best agent in all of Idaho, Mike Ryan is your guy! He toured our party of 11 all around Boise and the surrounding towns in a van he rented. He is completely knowledgeable about the area and was able to answer all of our many questions with patience. Mike is a professional through and through. He made our day really fun with his delightful sense of humor. He treated us to lunch in an awesome restaurant in a lovely setting. Like I said, Mike is your guy!

Joseph Shane

Very helpful to us during our search and went well beyond "over and beyond" for us while in Boise. We took a tour of the area because we are not from Idaho, and he treated us with great respect and with a high standard of hospitality. Highly recommend!

Daniel Barnes

If you are looking for a real estate agent who is honest, efficient, experienced, knowledgeable, and overall outstanding, then Mike is your guy! We were looking for a new home in Idaho (while still living on the East Coast) and needed someone who would be willing to help us find that perfect home. We were cautious, because we didn't have a great buying experience the first time we purchased with another agent. Well, Mike went above and beyond for us, he made the experience of buying a home easy, comfortable and fast! He answered all our questions, and always addressed concerns in an expeditious manner. Mike has a lot of experience and it shows. We will definitely be doing business with Mike in the future!

George Sullivan

Michael was so much help! My husband and I are first time homebuyers and he explained every step of the process in an easy to understand manner. He always went above and beyond to ensure he was at every meeting and appointment we had; making sure all of our questions were answered. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone and everyone, he was a pleasure to work with.

Ashley Jones

Michael listened to us and helped us find a home that fulfilled the wish list and was in our budget. He answered every question we had. He showed us multiple homes and when we found the one we wanted helped us get it.

Roxanne McHail

Kelly was super awesome. He made our first time buying easy. Was always available to answer our questions.

Nancy Hragyil

My family and I were fortunate enough to connect with Michael Edgar, when we moved here from Iowa. He knew the in's and out's of the area &, he was very knowledgeable about the schools and neighborhoods. We had a short weekend to look at homes and Michael was so patient. Even when we had to return home, he continued to look for homes & keep us a priority. He was always on our side working to make our transition to Idaho as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Mike was that he was always more focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice, and finding a home that met our needs than he was on closing a deal. He was always very honest and up front with us about the whole process. It felt like we were working with trusted friend. We would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone.

Sarah R

Mike is just like his Radio commerical! Straight forward. I enjoyed Mike's straight forward communication style and his support team. Rhonda made the transaction go as smooth as possible! We had several challenges with our lender, but the Team One Group advocated vigorously on our behalf. Thank you! Already recommended them to a friend!

James Phillips

We are top producing real estate agents in California and know what it takes to market and sell a home. We were very impressed with Mike's professionalism and knowledge. He kept us apprised every step of the way and sold our home in record time. He couldn't have made the process any easier. Thank you Mike; you are outstanding!

My family and I decided to move to Idaho from California in late 2017/ early 2018. After numerous offers and attempts to purchase a home with Michael's help and without success, we decided to give up and just rent. Out of the blue, Michael graciously offered a lease option to purchase where we would put all of the down payment (20% of the sales price)and he would purchase the home as an investment and lease back to us. Michael wrote up a contract and we agreed to lease back the home and then purchase it a year later. In addition, since the real estate market was hot, we also agreed to split the profits 50/50 on whatever the home appreciated in the years time. After moving in and after a few months my income drastically declined as a result of moving my business from California to IDAHO and since I am 100% commissioned. We did absolutely everything humanly possible to hold up our end of the bargain but could not after months of struggling, draining our savings, selling a vehicle, etc. We even offered to give Michael 60% of the profits after a few months because we felt bad about the situation. He had an addendum drafted up that same day and was more than willing to accept and jumped all over it. We notified Michael all along the process and throughout 2018 and he knew all along how much we struggled financially. We were late yes but always paid the mortgage payments monthly. At the time we moved out were were completely current on all payments. We finally decided to sell the home in February 2019, well before the years contract had expired. He listed the home and once it hit the market it sold within 2 weeks for over $45,000 more than what we originally purchased it for. We even moved out early and rented a place within a few weeks at Michael's direction so they we/he could get the house prepared, cleaned and immaculate for showings and so "it could sell faster". Once the home closed escrow and on the day we were expecting to finally receive our initial down payment back, I was sent an email from Michael with a letter from his lawyer. This is where the nightmare began. It included a breakdown of all costs, repairs associated with selling the home and a "release of liability agreement". If we did not sign the agreement, we would have to go to arbitration and if we lost our case we would/could lose everything and even have to pay his legal fees and all court costs. Furthermore, to add further insult within the letter Michael and his lawyer decided he was not only going to keep 100% of the profit BUT also pay himself another 3% commission on top of this on a home he already owned ? Keep in mind the home sold in 2 weeks after listing and there were ZERO open houses performed. My wife and I were completely blind sided, shell shocked and completely devastated. We were excited to move on and planned on getting OUR money back so we could finally keep our head above water and put this behind us, not to mention that this money was our entire life savings. After assessing our options and next steps, over the next few weeks I tried numerous times to speak with him in person and he was not available, "too busy" texts and continuously delayed meeting in person. After getting no where after repeated attempts, I have spoken to a lawyer and filed a formal complaint with the IDAHO REAL ESTATE COMMISSION which is currently in process. We adamantly feel he did not have our best interests at heart from day 1 and simply did not do the right thing especially since he represented both himself and us the whole time. Please do your homework and speak to previous employees and clients and be careful who you trust. We unfortunately found out the hard way and I wish I had listened to my wife from day 1. We truly wish in hindsight that we would have not trusted Michael but time will tell what becomes of this horrible experience we had to endure while Michael got to line his pockets with half of our life savings with zero risk to himself.

Mike was very good with meeting with us early on. He found out what we were looking for and gave us all of our options. He was available by phone whenever we needed it. He didn't always give all of the detail we wanted upfront about the process but did after we asked questions.
