Four perfect, seamless transactions in the Golden Rectangle. I consider Ryan a trusted friend.

We feel so fortunate to have selected Ryan to sell our family owned home in Carmel. Living out of state, Ryan assured us that he would handle everything for us and we put our complete trust in him. He did not disappoint - he respected our timeline, handled private showings, and found us a qualified cash buyer in just a few days! He helped us negotiate a quick sale that still allowed for us to have the time to travel down and move out our furnishings. Ryan delivered on every promise, communicated openly and honestly during every step of the process, and was the ultimate professional. His knowledge of the Carmel market was clearly superior and our ability to sell quickly and at the right price was reflective of his skill. We couldn’t recommend him more highly!

I was so impressed with the efforts of Ryan Melcher. Ryan went above and beyond any expectations that I had, by acting as my partner, in preparing the home for sale with innovative approaches and changes I’d not seen before, both on the interior and exterior.  Ryan knew the Carmel market intimately, from the intricacies and nuances of each individual street and block, to anticipating all the needs of discerning buyers. He knew exactly what we needed to do to get the best terms available to us. Ryan took everything off my plate and gave me the opportunity to focus on the other parts of life, while he achieved fantastic results on the listing. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ryan Melcher.

When you want the best, Ryan Melcher is the only choice. He helps you through the process with kindness, knowledge, expertise, experience and efficiency, which makes him invaluable. The process becomes a true pleasure instead of a difficult decision.

Ryan has proven time and again to be well informed with the marketplace and holds the highest standards of competence in business. He represents you thoughtfully, and his integrity makes him someone you can trust. If you want peace of mind, he is your agent in the high-end.

I want to thank Ryan Melcher and his team for all the hard work done selling my home in Quail Meadows in Carmel, CA. Ryan and his team guided us through an extremely difficult transaction with care and tact. We would recommend them to anyone looking to do a transaction in the high-end market. It was a pleasure working with Ryan and his professional team.

After owning a second home in Carmel for five years, I decided to sell to return to the East full time and take up flying. A Carmel businessman friend recommended Ryan Melcher to handle my listing. I met with Ryan and several other real estate agents but thought Ryan was most personable, easy to work with and knowledgeable. Nine days after listing with Ryan we had a contract. He advertised extensively and held a three day open house on Labor Day Weekend. He made the house so welcoming with a burning fireplace, subdued lighting, and romantic music that a young couple returned for several visits that weekend and made an offer on Tuesday. We closed in a month! Easiest real estate transaction I have experienced!

Mr. Melcher has been a delight to work with. Took the time out of his busy schedule to give an opinion on the family residence after my wife’s mother passed on. There wasn’t any commission involved as it was a reverse mortgage situation. We’ve not forgotten that kind gesture and would highly recommend Ryan for your real estate needs. Every once in a while you find a diamond in your own backyard!

Ryan Melcher was wonderful to work with. He sold both our homes in Carmel. We found him to be very energetic and dedicated. He was impeccable with every detail from open houses to paperwork. He kept us informed and was quick to respond or answer any questions we had. Ryan was very professional and very easy to do business with. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, hardworking realtor.

Ryan is a personable and well informed real estate expert in the greater Monterey Peninsula area. He understands his clients’ needs and then works diligently to make sure they are happy at the end of the day. On top of all that, he has a rich history in the area allowing him to match the customer personality with the appropriate location and perfect house. We are lucky to have Ryan working for us.

It was a pleasure working with Ryan, and I would highly recommend his services. He promptly replies to all inquires, explains any uncertainties, and makes resolution of the inevitable conflicts and misunderstandings look easy.

Ryan helped me with a market analysis and valuation on my home without the promise of a listing or sale- I was only looking to get an idea of value for my estate. Ryan is a conscientious, hard worker with high integrity, and very helpful in all aspects of his profession. I have known Ryan personally for 20 years and would highly recommend him to anyone wanting an agent with the expertise and technical savvy to do a wonderful job for them. Ryan is a delight!

Ryan represented us as as we began to look for a vacation home in Carmel Valley in 2014. From the beginning of our search, he was a passionate and knowledgeable agent who took us around the area, explaining details of homes as well as the history, culture and everyday life of Carmel Valley. When we found our perfect home, Ryan reliably stayed on top of all details through what ended up being a fairly complex transaction. We trusted Ryan’s judgement throughout the process and never once found reason to question his integrity and work-ethic. After closing, Ryan has put us in touch with trusted contractors in the area and stops by to see if there is anything he can help with. Today, we are happy to invite Ryan into our new home as a friend.

Among the many things that strike me very positively about Ryan Melcher are his straightforward honesty, his clear, intelligent grasp of reality and his altruistic nature of care and concern for people. These qualities are what makes Ryan someone with whom anyone would want to do business in any domain whatsoever.

I highly recommend Ryan he's the best of the best! His communication skills are excellent. He's always in touch letting you know what's going on every step of the way. Very hard worker, genuine, and honest. He's able to handle high pressure situations like a pro. It was such a great experience working with him. Nobody knows Carmel the way he does!

I’ve known of Ryan for many years. Recently I had the pleasure to talk with him and work with him in Real Estate. As a Real Estate Broker from Oregon, I was very impressed with how Ryan works with his clients interests and his extensive knowledge within the industry. I can say with 100% certainty, any client of mine that is buying or selling in the Carmel/ Monterey Peninsula area will be in the best care when I refer them to Ryan. Thanks again, Ryan! Any person who gets the opportunity to be represented by you as their Real Estate Broker will be in the best of care!

If you fall in love with Carmel and the cute cottages there and would like to buy one so you can live your dream life there one day, then Ryan Melcher is the best person to contact. I met Ryan about 6 months ago at an open house where he was the selling agent of a cute Carmel cottage. He was so knowledgeable about Carmel, the house he was selling, and so honest and fair. I did not end up getting that house because it sold so fast with multiple offers. But I knew Ryan is someone I can trust to help find my dream Carmel house, which he did this week, so I feel so fortunate to have met him. I am now a happy owner of a cute Carmel cottage in a great location in town. Ryan helped me buy this house off market so I did not have to compete with anyone. The whole process was easy because Ryan is the best in his profession. He’s responsive and nice and fun to work with, a friend you want to have if you live in Carmel because he knows everybody and is a great resource for all your house related needs.

Ryan Melcher is deserving to be Carmel’s #1 realtor. He has the expertise in the Carmel and Pebble Beach area and sought to clearly understand our priorities and needs. We first met Ryan while touring a property he listed in Pebble Beach. While that purchase did not materialize, we were impressed by how knowledgeable he is about asset allocation, valuation, and the unique characteristics of the local community and schools. In the course of our property purchase, Ryan was extremely patient, accommodating and personable. We enjoyed working with him. We’ve been looking for our forever home for years, and we found that we trusted Ryan to guide us in finally making a decision. After closing on our house, he has continued to be extremely responsive and generous with his time and energy. He has made this entire process seamless and on schedule. We highly recommend Ryan Melcher and consider him a friend.
