Working with Ryan was a fantastic experience, especially as a first-time homebuyer. He explained in detail what to expect every step of the way, was patient and understanding with us, and willingly answered every question (though he answered most of my questions before I asked them!). He was personable, punctual, and well-prepared every time we met. Additionally, everyone he recommended to us - from the leasing agent and attorney to the radon installation company - were professional, thorough, and easy to work with. Buying a home is always scary and stressful, but Ryan made the experience as seamless as possible. Would absolutely choose to work with him again.

He guided us every step of the way, helped us land the house we loved, and made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a pro, Ryan’s the guy you want on your side.

We used Ryan to buy and sell a house. I can't say enough good things about him. From our first phone meeting to the closing on our dream home, the experience was top-notch. Ryan listened to what we wanted and needed in a home. We were extremely picky as we weren't in a hurry to move, and Ryan took the time to find us the perfect home. With Ryan's assistance, we were able to negotiate the purchase of our dream home for $40,000 less than its original listed price.

Regarding the sale of our home, Ryan's knowledge of the local market was extremely impressive. I never imagined our house would sell for as much as he thought it would, but I listened to him, and we received an offer above asking price within 14 hours of listing. Over 10% more than what I ever thought we could get on our home. What really stood out was Ryan's communication – no matter the time or day, Ryan was always quick to respond and kept me informed at every step.

Ryan made the whole process significantly less stressful than my first home-buying experience with a different agent.

Even though we bought our house with Ryan over a year ago, from when I finally got around to writing this review, I still find myself reaching out to Ryan for his seemingly endless list of recommendations for just about anything. If you're looking for a realtor who's professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares, look no further!

We've worked with several realtors over the years, and all were good, but Ryan is outstanding. He's honest. Fair to all parties. He works hard, answers questions quickly, does a great job helping you prepare and stage your home, and markets like a pro. We had 10 showings our first 2 days on the market! Bonus: he knows great lenders, attorneys, insurance agents, inspectors, and more; I felt we were getting a team. I hope you are lucky enough to work with Ryan.

Ryan's expertise is impressive. We've engaged his services for two home sales and one purchase, and he consistently delivered outstanding results. His advice on staging and home enhancements was invaluable, and the photographer he worked with presented our home in a remarkable manner, leading to a rapid sale at a premium price. Ryan ensured a seamless experience, clearly explaining each step and regularly checking in on our progress. His professionalism is unparalleled, and I strongly endorse him.

Ryan Kurtz:
Thank you for your diligence and professionalism. We made an excellent choice choosing you to help us sell the home that was in our family for 50 plus years. Our house has so many wonderful memories and it definitely was difficult to put it up for sale but you did your research, treated our house with TLC, your attention to detail was impeccable. I felt like you cared about our home as much as we did. Thank you so much Ryan! 🫶

Ryan was simply amazing. My husband and I live in Utah and had to sell his mother's house in Illinois. Ryan prepared a detailed marketing plan for listing and selling the property and kept us informed regularly. When we needed someone to clean the house before showing, he helped us to find a reliable company who did an awesome job. Everything from pricing to listing to the final sale was handled with the utmost professionalism.

This may be a little long-winded for some, but for those of you looking to read through someone's personal experience with Ryan, keep reading here.

Ryan was recommended to us through the Dave Ramsey program but you don't have to be working the program to work with Ryan. No pressure there.
Having never sold a home before, we were feeling in over our heads about the upcoming decisions and the to-do lists for selling our home. Meeting with him for the first time, he was able to answer all of our questions without us feeling like he was just telling us what we wanted to hear. He was able to show us graphs and testimonials. He was adequately prepared to tell us about the comps of our neighborhood and area to give us a good idea of what our price should look like. He gave us tips for improving our space and he gave us realistic advice.
He's not in a hurry when he's with his clients and he's not pushy.
He's also responsive to texts and emails. Anytime I had questions or concerns, he was prompt to respond.
Our home was sold quickly and in my opinion, that all comes down to Ryan. He was even able to get us a discount on a moving company just because of his reputation.
THANK YOU, Ryan.

Ryan went above and beyond on the listing and sale of my home. From day one, Ryan stood out from the other Realtors we considered due to his knowledge and expertise in listing homes in the area. He provided suggestions on preparing and staging the home to enhance marketability and maintained active communication throughout the process. His character shined when considering my interest in each aspect of the sale. I could not be happier with his efforts.

Ryan and john greene realtor were absolutely fantastic! We were buying from out of stat. He was able to work around our hectic schedule, putting together an amazing impromptu visit of homes, a week early with almost no notice! We eventually put an offer in on a home seen that day. Ryan walked us thru the different state's processes and gave advice that led to our offer acceptance!

He was always available, via text, or phone or email and responded quickly and thoroughly to ALL our questions. He also lived in the area we chose, so was able to enthusiastically recommend area points of interest. 100% recommend! Ryan and the whole john greene team!

Ryan is very knowledgeable about all aspects of selling a house. He was honest and fair negotiating and addressing issues. He provided great recommendations on changes that would make the home more appealing to a buyer including what kind of new light fixtures to install, what paint colors to use, and knobs to change out. Ryan then oversaw the final details of the sale because we live out of state. Ryan has great wisdom and experience on how to fairly price houses. Also, Ryan recommended the real estate attorney, Dean, who was fantastic to work with. I cannot say enough about their help in closing the sale in a very short time frame. It was a blessing to have Ryan as our agent and I would definitely use him again.

Ryan is a ROCKSTAR realtor! He has amazing SUPER POWERS to get things done! We were so impressed with Ryan from the beginning! We called and it was like magic… he was there!! He approached us with a positive, professional attitude plus he’s friendly and down to earth! He’s very easy to talk to and was always prompt for all appointments. He helped us understand the real estate world and navigated us from the beginning to the end with all his connections. Ryan made the process seamless and got our house sold in remarkable time (one day) and with a remarkable price (over asking)!! We would highly recommend Ryan!!! He is on point and may be your SUPER HERO too!!! :))))

Ryan was absolutely amazing. He was with us every step of the way. Ryan went above and beyond working with our hectic schedules to get us into showings, early morning, late nights and even on his days off to make sure we found our perfect home. Ryan was wonderful with providing valuable insight on neighborhoods, schools, and pricing trends to not overpay for. Once we found our new home, Ryan quickly got our old home on the market and had it under contract within the week. We will definitely be using Ryan again in the future and definitely recommend him!

Ryan was recommended to us by a co-worker and we couldn't be happier that we went with him to sell our house. Throughout the entire process he made it as smooth and stress free as selling a house can be. His knowledge was extremely helpful in marketing our house and pricing for the market. Ryan was also very helpful working with us through out our buyer's inspection and FHA process, which went much more smoothly than we could have imagined. In the end, Ryan helped our sale go off without a hitch. We strongly recommend Ryan!

Ryan Kurtz from John Greene Realty helped sell our home in Aurora IL recently and we are extremely satisfied with his overall performance. From the original interview with Ryan through the entire process of marketing, selling and closing our home sale he was communicative, available, professional and thorough.

We are so glad we came across Ryan! He was very helpful ever since the beginning. We just bought our house during the craziest time and Ryan helped us make the experience better and stress free. He was very attentive and responsive, but also patient at the same time. He was also very knowledgeable about the Chicagoland neighborhoods as well as the house builds. Would definitely recommend, you’ll be glad you contacted Ryan!

We recently sold our house through Ryan Kurtz of John Green Realtor. We’ve bought and sold other properties in the past and Ryan is hands down the best realtor we’ve worked with. At our first meeting, Ryan came in with a solid marketing plan, house value analysis, went through the various steps of selling our house and what to expect at each step.

He set up an outstanding architectural photo brochure that really showed off the inside of our house. He followed that up with drone video of the outside and video footage of the inside of the house. The electronic scheduling application made it easy for us to know when showings, home inspection and appraisal were going to occur.

Ryan is an excellent communicator and kept us informed every step of the way from setting up marketing photography to the final day of closing. We highly recommend Ryan and John Green Realtor!

Ryan Kurtz is exceptional guy to work with, very professional, knowledgeable, responsive and relational. I was very anxious to moved out of a neighborhood I have known for 19 years & find a house that I would love. Ryan reassured us and advised us well and we found a house that we absolutely love within 3 wks of starting our hunting process! Ryan’s inside knowledge of the area & honest input along the way helped us land a place we wouldn’t have otherwise considered. We not only love our house but even more love our neighbors & our location. We also have entrusted him to rent the house we moved out of and we is doing a wonderful job finding us the right tenant. Ryan is gifted at what he does and you would have gained a friend at the end of the process, highly recommend him!

Ryan really stands out in the realty market. His is a vocation rather than just a job and his knowledge, expertise, and attention to detail are hallmarks of his work that help to smooth what is arguably the most significant purchase that most of us make. Whether you are selling or buying, you can trust Ryan's skill in helping you reach your closing table.
I would highly recommend him for your next listing or purchase.
Ryan, thanks so much for your help in the sale of our mom's property. It was so great to have the peace of mind you brought to the whole process.

Ryan was the consummate professional, I know we weren't the easiest clients to work with, we needed extra time to work around our kids while selling our house, and were very picky and particular when buying our new home. Ryan patiently worked with us the whole time and was understanding and didn't let us settle when we were discouraged or tempted by an 'almost what we wanted' house. In the end we sold above where we expected and got everything we wanted while going way under budget. Ryan Kurtz and the John Greene realtor group was the right decision for us.

Ryan was the best! With his help I sold my condo in less than a week with a great profit. He was an excellent resource and trusted advisor throughout the process. I was out of town for most of the sale and Ryan went above and beyond to help me with final repairs at the walk through and even helped me sell some furniture. I would highly recommend Ryan!!
