Dave Ryan, Stony Plain realtor of RE/MAX Real Estate (Edmonton), does real estate with fantastic people, family, and fun.
Ranking in the top 100 in both 2021 and 2022, we are excited to share that Dave is #6 in Canada on RankMyAgent (RMA) based on the number and the satisfaction of his clients’ reviews. He shares with us what keeps him going so successfully in 2022 after 16 years in the real estate business and the real heart behind it all. For Dave Ryan, the accolades and award-winning business all start close to home.
“I wish it was a better story. I needed to make a career change to support my wife in school. I had recently bought my first house and thought the job looked like fun. But now after 16 years in the business I can’t imagine doing anything else!” remarks Ryan with enthusiasm. From the beginning of his career in real estate, Ryan prioritized his family and realized the real key to real estate is having some fun with the industry.
However, this top realtor wasn’t always in the real estate business, he also has some unique expertise from a previous career to bring to the table. His bio reads that he “attended NAIT and completed a Radio and Television diploma, then ventured to Red Deer to pursue a career in TV news… After 5 years in TV, Dave decided to put his love of people and his keen interest in the housing market together and pursue a career in real estate”. Ryan brings a multi-faceted skillset for communication and working with people to his real-estate business.
For this top Albertan real estate pro, it’s all about the people so it’s no surprise that he loves to spend time with friends and family. In particular, Ryan enjoys taking his boat out on the many beautiful lakes close to his home and place of business in Spruce Grove, Alberta. Spruce Grove is one of Alberta’s 10 largest cities and boasts close proximity with pristine freshwater lakes like Wabamun Lake, Lake Isle, and Muir Lake. “I spend as much time as I can in the sun (or rain) on my boat. Dragging kids, friends, friends’ kids, kid’s friends, strangers… and anyone else who wants to take a ride fills my heart! Also a great excuse to spend time with family!” comments Ryan.
With over 130 reviews verified by our team at RankMyAgent (RMA) and a 4.96/5 star score, this award-winning realtor’s sense of fun also translates into a business force to be reckoned with. But, he couldn’t do it without the fantastic team at his back. Ryan credits his business success to the many people in his life: his wonderful, supportive wife; a great assistant; and fantastic business partner – all of whom help him manage the various aspects of a considerable business so he can really focus on getting his clients what they need. “Years of building systems into my business has really set me and my clients up for success!” says Ryan.
Looking back on the year and receiving RMA’s #6 ranking for the top #100 agents in Canada, Ryan is deeply grateful for the past year and all the people, the clients, friends, and family that made it great.
Reflecting on receiving the award, Ryan remarks, “I just love what it represents! To me it represents the many happy people and families that were able to make their dreams a reality! Whether that’s selling so they can move on to the next chapter or buying their dream home… I helped them accomplish a goal and that’s why I do what I do!”.
