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!

Ryan is an exceptional real estate agent who helped us purchase our first home. We were truly fortunate to have him on our side, and it wasn't until our loan officer praised Ryan's expertise and professionalism that we fully appreciated his value. Throughout the entire process, Ryan demonstrated a deep knowledge of the local market, a keen eye for detail, and a genuine commitment to our satisfaction. He was always available to answer our questions, provide guidance, and offer support, and he went above and beyond to ensure that we found the perfect home for our needs. We couldn't be happier with Ryan's service and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch real estate agent.

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.

Can’t say enough about our outstanding experience w Ryan. 
We appreciated his market analysis, and his help us in preparing the property for sale (including arranging a number of inspections) was invaluable in attracting the right buyer quickly. Ryan’s communication throughout the process and quick escrow was much appreciated. We feel fortunate to have had an agent with experience but who was sensitive to our situation.

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.
