    I recently had the pleasure of working with Ryan as my real estate agent, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From start to finish, Ryan exemplified professionalism, expertise, and genuine care in helping me find the perfect home. Right from our initial consultation, Ryan took the time to truly understand my needs, preferences, and budget constraints. His deep knowledge of the local market was evident as he provided valuable insights and guidance throughout the entire process. Whether it was explaining complex real estate jargon or negotiating terms with sellers, Ryan was always one step ahead, ensuring that I felt confident and informed every step of the way. What truly sets Ryan apart is his unwavering dedication to his clients. He was always available to answer any questions or address any concerns I had, no matter how big or small. His responsiveness and accessibility made me feel like a top priority, and I never once felt rushed or pressured into making a decision. Furthermore, Ryan's attention to detail and meticulous approach ensured that no stone was left unturned during the home search. He went above and beyond to scout out properties that aligned with my criteria, saving me both time and effort in the process. His expertise in evaluating the value and potential of each property proved invaluable in helping me make informed decisions. Thanks to Ryan's expertise and support, I am now the proud owner of the perfect home, and I couldn't have asked for a smoother or more enjoyable experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Ryan to anyone in search of a dedicated, knowledgeable, and trustworthy real estate agent. Thank you, Ryan, for making my homeownership dreams a reality!

    James was a great realtor to work with. He started with us before we were even ready to start looking. Once we started looking, he was in constant contact with us. He asked a lot of questions and really listened to what we wanted. It was a very long process and we got discouraged a couple times, but he was always patient with us and his optimism kept us motivated. We found a house we love, got an accepted offer, and a smooth closing. We couldn't have done all this without James' help!

    My family has now used Alfonso 3 separate times in the past year. Searching for a home, buying and selling is especially stressful during a pandemic. The best thing I did was choose the right person to guide me through the process. I believe the saying “ you don’t know what you don’t know” applied to me (and probably a lot of people like me). Alfonso and his team “did know” and from listing to closing the professionalism and superior process made for a smooth transaction.

    My fiancé and I recently worked with Ryan to close on our first home and he made what can be a daunting process and decision a breeze. Throw in that we were moving from Chicago and viewed half of the homes via FaceTime, we knew it was important to have a trusted advisor to help us - Ryan was just the man for the job! His great attention to detail, honest opinions, and awareness of the market to inform our negotiation/offer made him a true joy to work with. Can’t recommend a better realtor.

    Can't find a house in this market? I thought so too until we came in contact with Ryan Zimmer. Ryan was a blessing and so easy to work with. Ryan will not sleep, he will not eat until he finds the perfect house for you! Ryan came HIGHLY recommended from several friends and he did not disappoint. They only let you put 5 starts but I would rate Ryan a perfect 100 out of 100. Move forward with pure 100% confidence.

    Ryan is by far the agent you need on your team. I assure you in this insane market you need someone who is top of the line, and will get you that home! He is that guy. We sold our house and accepted an offer on the same day after only a couple days IN THIS MARKET. Trust me. Reach out to Ryan!
  • Clare & Phillip
    Thank you so much for your help in finding our DREAM house! You were thoughtful and understanding at every step of the process. You listened to what we wanted and ensured we were comfortable, even in a difficult market. Thank you for the candle. It makes our home feel much homier. We are so happy with our house and look forward to many happy memories here. We will certainly recommend you to our friends when they are ready to buy homes!

    Alfonso Giganti of Damian E&V St. Louis assisted me in searching for and buying a condominium is West St. Louis County He assisted me in all aspects of the process, showing me various properties, guiding me through negotiations, helping me select a home inspection service, and assisting me through the closing process, and any needed followup. During that process I met other E&V St. Louis people and they were all helpful and friendly. I would gladly recommend them to anyone needing a real estate agent.
  • Anne Marie G
    I was buying and selling at the same time, I was a very difficult buyer and Damian never gave up, never wasted my time, and was always looking out for my best interest. He was very honest with the value of my home, what I should expect, how showings would work, and made the process easy. He sold my house and I finally found my dream home and the process went much better than the stories I have heard from friends who didn’t use Damian. I have recommended Damian to friends who have also had tremendous success in this weak market which speaks volumes about his skill.

    Alfonso is a life saver! He helped my family out so much. We just moved to St. Louis from Louisville Kentucky. We had no idea where to start and he helped out a ton. He was knowledgable in the area and was a help getting us the price that we were asking to spend. I would highly recommend Alfonso to anybody.

    Engel & Voelkers is a great company to work with. Our realtor Ryan was amazing! He was extremely friendly, experienced, transparent, reliable, and very responsive throughout the whole process. He really cared about us and understood our needs from the very first virtual home viewing. We had a very unique experience, not only working through COVID, but also moving from another state. We trusted Ryan’s thoroughness and attention to detail that we were able to purchase our home virtually without ever stepping foot in it. Ryan found us an amazing home, neighborhood, and school district. We couldn’t be any happier. We highly recommend Ryan!

    These are especially unique times and being being able to rely on your expertise in the market as well as construction was critical. What most impressed me, though, was how you immediately focused on listening to Clare and Phillip and then discerned their needs. Your calm and steadfast approach helped them to remain encouraged. The relationship was more authentic rather than transactional which I believe we experienced before. We are confident that our daughter and future son-in-law have found the house they were meant for.
