Ryan Deal

Devoted to connecting families with their perfect homes and investment opportunities in the Atlanta area, Ryan Deal brings a unique blend of experience, dedication, and personalized service to the world of real estate. While Ryan most commonly represents traditional home buyers and sellers with the very best marketing, he excels in quiet sales, insulating luxury property transactions from the interruption and publicity associated with conventional real estate marketing.

To make it all happen, Ryan leverages an array of well-placed contacts, each carefully curated over three decades. Prior to becoming a REALTOR®, Ryan worked as an Emmy Award-winning television journalist, and he held senior leadership positions in both the State of Georgia government and the federal government. He employs various new and emerging technologies to remain a step ahead and, as it’s been said, Ryan has never met a stranger.

Ryan guided the restoration of two historic properties in Atlanta’s Grant Park neighborhood, including a condemned 1897 Victorian which, resurrected to its original grandeur, was opened to the public for tours. Ryan lives in the Chastain Park neighborhood of Atlanta along with his life’s partner and three wonderful, rescued pups. He enjoys cooking, reading, photography, and taking long walks.

Ryan is among agents recognized as “Best of Zillow” and he is a preferred agent on Realtor.com. He serves the areas of Sandy Springs, Chastain Park, Buckhead, Intown Atlanta, Marietta, Roswell and surrounding areas. He is a member of the Atlanta REALTORS® Association, the Georgia Association of REALTORS®, and the National Association of REALTORS®.

A real estate transfer requires attention to detail, real commitment, and old-fashioned common sense. Traditional buyers and sellers are most welcomed. Private services are also available.

Ryan has served on numerous boards, including the Atlanta Falcons Georgia SHAPE Coalition, the Fulton County Multijurisdictional Burglary Task Force, the Georgia Alliance for Health Literacy, the Strategic National Stockpile Advisory Board, the Georgia Crisis Consortium, the Global Migration and Quarantine Awareness Committee, the CDC Strategic National Stockpile Advisory Board, and the CDC Public Health Emergency Preparedness Grant Advisory Board. His work has been honored with a Phoenix Award from the Public Relations Society of America, a Georgia Technology Innovation Award from the Georgia Technology Authority, and two Emmy Awards for journalism from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. He holds an undergraduate degree from Emerson College, studied emergency planning at Harvard University, and served as an adjunct instructor at East Carolina University.
