Ryan Gardner
Real Estate Broker
I was born and raised in the Seattle area. I know these neighborhoods because I live in them.
Before real estate I spent 10 years in the Army National Guard as a combat medic, including two deployments to the Middle East. That work taught me to stay calm when the pressure is on and to put the person in front of me first.
I also spent more than a decade in construction as a foreman and electrician. When we walk a house together, I can tell you what the inspection is going to find and what it will actually cost to fix. Most brokers cannot do that.
When I am not working I am camping, traveling, or coaching my kids' soccer teams.

What we do
Three ways we help you move forward
Most agents stop at the closing table. We stay involved through investing, wealth reviews, and everything that comes after the sale.
Buying a Home
Whether it is your first house or your forever house, you get someone who has spent years on job sites and knows exactly what to look for.

Protect. Empower. Serve.
Most of my business comes from repeat clients and referrals. That only happens if you do right by people when the pressure is on.
Wealth, Not Just Transactions
Every decision points at the long game
Most agents help you buy or sell a home and then move on. We focus on helping you build long-term wealth through real estate. Rentals, 1031 exchanges, ADUs, portfolio growth. The plan reaches well past a single closing.
Three Things Most Brokers Do Not Have
Construction, investing, brokerage
A decade running construction crews, an investor's read on what a property does over twenty years, and a brokerage practice built on referrals. Most brokers bring one of the three. It means the advice you get about a house accounts for what it will cost you after closing, not just what it lists for.
Maximize Every Opportunity
Return on investment on every decision
We help you find the improvements that deliver the greatest return, prepare a home to reach top dollar, and avoid the costly mistakes. Ten years as a foreman and electrician means I can tell you what a repair really costs before you spend the money.
Where we work
Born and raised in the Puget Sound
I grew up here and I still live here. I know which streets flood, which school boundaries matter, and which neighborhoods are worth stretching for. My office is in downtown Edmonds and most of my business runs through Snohomish and King County.

In their words
What clients say
Ryan and Jennifer Gardner are genuinely hard-working and honest people. We have trusted them with our family and commercial real estate transactions in the past and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. They are equally knowledgeable on the buy and sell side of real estate, yet what has always stood out to us most is their ability to understand our wants vs needs.
Ryan went above and beyond during our transaction. We had a short amount of time, Ryan stepped up and got it done. He communicated through the process and ensured we knew what was going on at all times. If an issue ever arose Ryan was always able to have a solution.
Ryan exemplifies character, leadership, tenacity, and commitment unlike most professionals I've worked with. He will smartly coach you and represent your interests throughout the real estate process. He will fight for your needs and frankly, he gets results.
Ryan Gardner was very personable and knowledgeable. He walked us through the process and went the extra mile to make sure we understood everything. Even after we closed he made the effort to visit us. His pleasant personality and demeanor made the sale of our condo less stressful.
Ryan went above and beyond our expectations for selling our home. He was sensitive to and understood the emotional side of selling one's home. If you're in the greater Seattle area and need a good realtor, he's your man.
I had the pleasure of working with Ryan Gardner. From start to finish he was very responsive, kind, and a constant professional. I look forward to the opportunity to work with him.
