Success Stories

Suzi, just wanted to thank you for all of your hard work. You've been amazing! Thanks so much for meeting with the inspectors, appraisers, builders, etc. With us being out of town, this has been invaluable. Let's crack open some champagne when this is finalized! We had a nice conversation with the builder you recommended. Looks like we may have our team for this project. I'm so excited! Many thanks.

— Denise D.

Success Stories

My wife and I have bought and sold numerous properties in Southern California over the last 35 years. Suzi Dailey is the most professional, responsive, and engaged agent we have ever worked with. What sets Suzi apart from other agents is that she truly listens to you when you express your concerns or needs. She has an excellent working knowledge of this area and has sold properties of all price points. R...

Success Stories

Working with Suzi Dailey and her team was an exceptional experience. I have bought and sold many homes over the years, but she is the best I have ever worked with. She is very professional and knowledgeable. She brought in the resources and technology that were needed and always returned our phone calls. She was able to sell our 14,000-square-foot home in less than a six-month period, which is amazing. I...

Success Stories

I have been in the real estate valuation and consulting industry since 1993 and witnessed a few down-cycles. During the downturns, the industry tends to sift itself out, and we (gladly) see the cream rise to the top. These top professionals make good use of their time and knowledge, and they are passionate. However, this doesn't mean they are all kind, generous, and genuine. Suzi Dailey is the latter - t...

Success Stories

Dear Suzi, I met with your clients, the Delgados, and they were talking about their realtor and how impressed they were with you. They thought you were an amazing person, and they talked about how hard you worked for them, how you really tried for them in so many ways. They are just so in love with that house; I can't believe it. They are very, very excited. I just wanted to let you know.

Success Stories

Ryan is the best realtor we’ve ever had!! During a prolonged search for a specific type of home we desired, Ryan responded to every question, concern, and preference with honesty, integrity, and attentiveness, with follow-up and follow-through. If there was something he didn’t know, he researched it until he had an answer. He is kind, respectful, and personable. He always persevered until we found the ho...

Success Stories

I recently completed a relocation from Minnesota to Southern California, and I have had numerous real estate transactions over the years, and I can say without reservation that Ryan was the best realtor I've ever dealt with! I met him by chance through a Zillow listing and have never regretted giving him the opportunity to assist in my home search. His hard work, dedication, and communication were amazin...

— K. D.

Success Stories

Ryan is an excellent realtor with superior local knowledge of the market and the process for home purchase. He is responsive, reliable, and focused on meeting the needs of his clients and ensuring the best results for the home purchase. He supports you in all steps of the process and engages with other parties on a very professional level. I highly recommend Ryan D.

— Patrick R.

Success Stories

Ryan worked with us to find our home in San Clemente. He listened to what we were looking for and found it on our 1st viewing. We continued to look just to make sure, but still ended up with the 1st showing. We have been in it for 3 months now, and everything went smoothly and quickly (15-day escrow). Ryan guided us through the paperwork, escrow, and home inspection process.

— Mike C.

Success Stories

Ryan, as my buying agent, was very helpful and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. His knowledge of the local area showed me a neighborhood I didn't know existed after being in the area off and on for 30 years. Ryan was always easy to reach, very timely, and quick to respond to any issues or challenges that arose during escrow. If you are looking at property in the Dana Point or surrounding are...

— Buyer

Success Stories

I recently completed the purchase of a home in San Clemente, CA. Having been involved in numerous real estate transactions over the years. I can say with confidence that Ryan is one of the best realtors I've ever dealt with! He was very responsive to any questions and handled problems skillfully. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a good realtor.

— Buyer

Success Stories

I have absolutely no complaints about Ryan. In our process, we had to deal with a three-hour time difference, and he was dealing with someone recently widowed and inexperienced. Every contact calmed me down. He was patient, and he knew when I was done with negotiating. He did a ton of work with contractors, realtors, and buyers. And he knew I was anxious for a quick sale and timed modifications to suppor...

Success Stories

Recently, my wife and I were looking for a home in the Dana Point and San Clemente area. Initially, we didn't have an agent and, like a lot of folks, were just dealing with numerous agents on various properties. One day, we met Ryan Dailey, who was listed as a Premier Agent on one of the properties we were interested in, and that changed everything. We could not have been happier with our experience. Rya...

Success Stories

My husband and I recently purchased a condo in Dana Point and were fortunate to have Ryan represent us in the purchase. When we met Ryan, we immediately hit it off! He is personable, knowledgeable, and takes an interest in understanding the needs of his clients. Our purchase moved fairly quickly because the seller was moving out of state. Ryan made a point to check in with us weekly to ensure we didn’t h...

— Kloe W.

Success Stories

I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone who needs an agent. Because we were moving from the Midwest to California, we needed someone who could really show us an area that we were not familiar with and help us decide what we wanted. Ryan was willing to show us dozens of properties when I was in town to house hunt for only a few days at a time. We were unclear about what city we wanted to be in, what price...

Success Stories

Ryan was awesome in helping us find and purchase our new home. He was prompt to respond to texts, emails, and phone calls, and quickly got a sense of what we were looking for. During our search, he was thoughtful and anticipated a number of items we hadn't thought of when looking in the area and at specific homes. He was extremely patient as we looked at homes over several months and never put any pressu...
