Ryan was very professional and approachable. He was punctual with meetings and viewing and responded immediately to any texts and phone calls. He helped make the first time home buying process a breeze and got me set up with a great mortgage broker. A pleasure to work with! I would highly recommend him as an agent.

A comfortable, honest, pressure-free experience in searching for and buying a home. Ryan is the kind of person that anyone can feel at ease with, which was a really important quality for me. He was recommended to me by a family member who had an excellent experience with him too

Overall, it was a great experience. Quickly turned around setting up viewings and comparison properties making it super easy, providing print outs and details on the properties we were seeing. On time meeting us and left enough time between viewings to not rush. Offered great advice to help us figure out our best options. Super personable and prompt at addressing any questions. It was great working with Ryan & team.

Ryan was spectacular to work with. He was always quick to reply. He would do all the homework before going to see a home so we knew if it was worth our time and money. He knew we were first time buyers and really helped us through the process. He was knowledgeable and full of ideas to make a house a home. Would 100% recommend working with him.

I highly recommend Ryan Cochrane as a realtor! He is truly kind, genuine, and patient, making the home buying and selling process so much more enjoyable. I've known him for decades, and he has consistently impressed me with his professionalism and dedication.
Ryan is incredibly effective and efficient, despite having many listings and a busy schedule. He always responds in a timely manner and ensures that he follows up, which is a huge relief during such an important undertaking.
I’ve referred Ryan to several of my physician colleagues, all of whom have had nothing but positive experiences. One thing I really appreciate is that he is not pushy at all. It’s so easy to talk to him, and he makes you feel comfortable discussing your needs and preferences. If you’re looking for a realtor who will genuinely care about you and work hard on your behalf, Ryan is the one to call!

We moved to Victoria in Sept of 2024 and Ryan was our agent. He guided us through the process as we were moving from out of province. I cannot say enough good things about Ryan and our experience with him. We found that he is very professional and knowledgeable about the area and different housing options, kind and caring for his clients. He walked us through our purchase with a virtual tour so that we did not have to travel to Victoria to view the property encuring additional travel expenses. We learned early on during our first visit to Victoria to look for homes that Ryan has your best interests in mind and we found that we could completely trust his suggestions, experiences and input.
If you are looking to move to Victoria from out of province or list your home I would definitely recommend Ryan.
Thanks Ryan,

I really felt like I could trust him and that his intentions were to help me find the right home for me, without feeling any pressure to move quickly or take risks I wasn't prepared to take.

It is with great pleasure that we write this review for Ryan. He went above and beyond with the sale of my elderly mother’s home. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the market, personable, attentive, and very responsive. He advised objectively, taking all factors into account, and we valued his advice. His expertise is spot-on and he was extremely sensitive to my mother’s reluctance and needs. We appreciate all that Ryan has helped us with and highly recommend him to anyone looking to get in the market.

I have known Ryan personally and professionally for twenty years. When it was time to sell my home, I did not hesitate to contact and promptly hire Ryan. As a Swim
Coach, I witnessed Ryan’s work ethic and commitment to excellence when he was training 6-8 hours every day. He has honed these skills as a Realtor and it is no surprise that he has become successful in this realm, as well. His calm demeanor and confidence as well as his communication skills made a very stressful situation into a task oriented process instead of a highly emotional rollercoaster. Ryan’s professionalism is evidenced by his willingness to listen to his clients and then come up with the best plan for a unique situation. I would trust Ryan to help me purchase or sell a home without hesitation. Thank you, Ryan!

We met Ryan through family when he gave a volunteer talk for a community organization. As first-time home buyers we found Ryan provided constructive step-by-step advice as we navigated the finding and purchasing process. He listened to what we were looking for and asked insightful questions to help guide us. He promptly followed up on our questions and was always encouraging us to ask more. He kept close track of the search/purchasing process and proactively contacted us on where things were at. He urged and supported us to take our time to find the right fit, which we really appreciated. Ryan provided friendly, professional, punctual service - it was a pleasure doing business with him. I would recommend him to my friends and family.

I had arranged some time ago, to have Ryan as a guest speaker at a Parkinson's Support meeting. I was very impressed by his attitude, knowledge and his experience.
My daughter had been given notice to vacate her rental unit by her land lord who required the unit for a family member.
Rental space is at a premium so my daughter (and me), this would be good time to purchase rather than rent
As real estate prices are so high, I offered to help her financially. Rental space is at a premium so my daughter (and me), this would be good time to purchase rather than rent. I suggested to her to contact Ryan which she did. Ryan met her expectations. A town house was found; an offer was made & accepted. The rest is history. My daughter really appreciated Ryan's as he was not pushy and so willing to get all of the requested information.

Ryan recently helped us sell a property in Victoria and from beginning to end the experience was simply excellent. I knew Ryan as an Olympic swimmer, but I can tell you as a Realtor he is just as high performing. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Chris Wilson

Ryan Cochrane was my realtor for the sale of my condo and did an exceptional job. At our first meeting Ryan explained the process, listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. I was comfortable with Ryan’s manner and suggestions. He always responded quickly to text or email questions and remained calm and positive with his approach. Throughout the process I trusted Ryan and respected his ethics, knowledge and organizational skills.

Ryan was exactly who we needed when we called asking if he could help us buy a home in Victoria.
Our purchase and offer had to be tight and quick, as we were under a time crunch. Ryan was willing to act FAST with us and did so with a calm competence. He jumped on board with our “let’s make this happen” approach, was easy to speak/work with and was extremely knowledgeable through all steps of the process. We are so happy we called him! Will be calling Ryan again for the next purchase or sale.
John Crawford
July 22, 2023
Because of some time constraints I wanted to get the process going and list ASAP. Once my decision to sell was made he worked very quickly to get everything happening to list and follow up selling. I feel he also was helpful with selecting the listing price, providing me with a lot of local market information. He responded quickly to any issues I had and he is a good communicator. I'd recommend him to my friends.

We had a wonderful experience working with Ryan to buy our house in Victoria. Ryan was super responsive and available quickly.

Our experience was great as Ryan has some great qualities that he puts into his work: he is always available even when he is away, he acts quick and did great on back and forth communication with seller's realtors which was very helpful. We were comfortable having his technical opinion to evaluate properties for us and understanding our needs and he won our trust quickly. Overall such a pleasant person to work with and have on your side.

We are extremely happy with the service Ryan provided us through the purchase of our new property and the sale of our existing one. We found him to be very knowledgeable, competent, efficient and accessible, enabling us to trust his advice and move forward during a somewhat stressful process. The strategies he suggested for both buying and selling proved to be successful, and his awareness of the local market gave us quick access to the great property we chose to purchase. It was clear to us that he is well respected in the field. We would highly recommend him for any real estate transaction.

Ryan was such a pleasure to work with for the purchase of our condo over the past few months. Being quite new to the world of real estate, it was really important to us to work with someone who could provide sound advice and insight into each stage of the process — and Ryan was the perfect agent for this. He was such a prompt and professional communicator and was extremely organized with all of the documents and processes required to move through each step, from putting in an offer to finalizing the purchase. It was amazing to see how quickly he understood our needs and was there to assist us when a couple of hiccups popped up even after we had taken possession. It was such a pleasant experience working with Ryan and we will certainly work with him again in the future. We would highly recommend him to anyone for their real estate needs!

Ryan really is a “5 star” realtor and outstanding at what he does. Responsive, follows through, trustworthy, open/honest, and truly has your priorities and values in mind when helping you search for a home.
Our experience with Ryan has been nothing but positive and he has gone above and beyond for us making sure we got exactly what we needed for our new little family.
Look no further for a great realtor - if you’re in the market (see what I did there ;)) - he’s your guy!

Our mortgage broker connected us with Ryan and this has been one of the best experience we've ever had with a realtor. He went above and beyond in guiding us through all stages of purchasing our first home in Vic West. We really appreciated all of his professional advises and honest insights. The communication was always efficient and accurate, he captured exactly what we were looking for regarding location and style. If you need a realtor, I promise Ryan is your guy!

Ryan was a breeze to work with! He handled both our purchase and sale with ease. Ryan quickly picked up on what we were looking for and what our top priorities were. We were open to what type of property we ended up with and he had no problem being flexible while searching for the right place for us. I was impressed with Ryan's accuracy when it came to negotiations and what properties would sell for. While we hopefully won't be looking for a new place anytime soon, if we are we wouldn't hesitate to call Ryan again.

I found Ryan through a friend who knows him from his swimming days. Ryan is a multi-medalist at the Olympic level. That gets instant credibility in my eyes. You can only reach that level of athletic prowess through drive, determination, and discipline.
I wasn't disappointed. Ryan helped me purchase a home in the Victoria area from the other side of the country, and he handled it with great efficiency.
Affable, available, and capable.
Great job, Ryan!
Thank you!

Ryan was a wonderful realtor to work with - from start to finish… and follow up! He is friendly, knowledgeable, experienced & clearly dedicated to his profession. Ryan listened to our needs & preferences along the way, and was always available & responsive when needed. With Ryan’s help, we were able to find & purchase the ideal next home for our growing family of 6. He was able to navigate through & provide us with astute counsel during offer negotiations, and secured us a happily-accepted offer as the end result. Prior to possession, Ryan was there for various site visits & provided great follow up even after we got the keys - making sure all was in order & ensuring there were no loose ends or issues we needed help with. Thank you for helping our family find the home we were dreaming of Ryan! We look forward to many great years to come in our new abode & truly appreciate everything you did to help us get here.
With gratitude, the McLean Family

It was a pleasure working with Ryan. He is a great communicator, responsive and knowledgeable. As first-time home buyers out of province we didn't know what to expect. Ryan was always happy to answer any questions, providing guidance and suggestions. It took us a while to get a place in this crazy market, he was always patient, professional and helpful. I would highly recommend Ryan.
Yulia Foster
April 28, 2022
Ryan was a tremendous help for me and my brothers when we needed to sell our family home earlier this year. When researching and meeting with realtors, the number one thing I wanted was to feel like I could really trust the agent. I needed to be assured that the home would be secure and well looked after, marketed and staged appropriately, and that I would be offered timely and knowledgeable advice and recommendations on pricing and subsequent negotiations. Ryan ticked all these boxes, and then some. The process was smooth from start to finish and I would not hesitate to give Ryan a full recommendation.

We arrived in Victoria with very little knowledge of the local real estate market. Ryan guided us through the process and was pleasure to work with.

Ryan helped us buy our first home and we couldn’t be more thankful and appreciative for how hard he worked for us. He answered our endless questions and was always available. Ryan calmed our nerves in a crazy market, and talked us out of making rash decisions that weren’t right for us. After a year long process, he helped us get a home that was perfect for our family. We highly recommend Ryan!

There is not enough space to write all the wonderful things I’d want to about Ryan. He helped my partner and I buy our first home, which should have been overwhelming but he guided us expertly through the process taking away much of our stress. He went above and beyond providing us great guidance throughout the entire process. Ryan is very friendly, knowledgeable, and prompt – highly recommend!

He was responsive and tremendously reliable for booking appointments. I would absolutely recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a realtor!
Mark Chenery

Ryan was an absolute gem of a realtor. I looked for a place to buy in a very tough market and I had pretty specific needs. It took many months to find what I wanted, and I gave up a few times. It every time I was ready to look again Ryan was right there helping me and answering all my questions. On possession day he calmed me down, went the extra mile making sure I had everything I needed and continued to communicate with the sellers realtor to get a missing set of keys. I highly recommend him as he always goes above and beyond to make sure you get great service in finding what is usually the most important purchase you will ever make.

Ryan has been absolutely fantastic. He helped us navigate a very tough real estate market in Victoria with the end result of securing the perfect home at the right price. With the current market so popular and so fast moving - this is not an easy thing to accomplish! Ryan was professional, knowledgeable and very patient - he kept us on track having clearly listened to our original goal as we ended up with a home that ticks every box on our list which in such a frenetic market I had almost pushed to one side! Thank you Ryan! I would recommend Ryan to anyone starting their property search in Victoria.

Ryan went above and beyond in guiding us through all stages of buying and selling in a very fast-moving market. He helped us find the perfect home in a great neighbourhood by listening to what was important to us, and being realistic when it came to viewing a variety of properties in Victoria. He also had great advice when it came to selling our current home, and was extremely prompt and professional in all his communication. He is also well-connected in the realty community and was able to provide excellent recommendations for a variety of services. We highly recommend Ryan for your real estate needs!

Ryan helped us purchase our first home during the height of travel restrictions in March/April. This certainly was a challenge with us being out of town and not being able to view in-person. Ryan was very accomodating and helped us through multiple remote viewings and bids prior to finding the winner.
Darren Radons
October 4, 2021
Ryan was my realtor as I hunted for a home in Vic as a first-time buyer. From the start, he was super friendly and never made me feel my 100lb dog was a difficult obstacle (like previous realtors had). He knows the island well (super helpful as I did not) and made the process really easy and fun! He was always quick to respond to my requests despite his busy schedule and was so positive we would find my dream home-- important since house hunting can sometimes leave you feeling impatient & disappointed! I also didn't have a car at the time so Ryan and Ashley were very accommodating, always being able to pick me up for open houses. During negotiations, he encouraged me to ask for what I wanted and never made me feel like a nuisance! I truly recommend Ryan for any and everyone who seeks a realtor. I'm so so happy with my home we found and feel so lucky to have found such a beautiful spot.
Harbour Mitchell

Ryan recently listed my condominium and it subsequently sold within two days. I was most impressed with his professionalism. He was at the same time forthright, courteous, punctual and was always readily available to
answer questions that arose. He is a real pro and clearly brings the same discipline to his chosen career in real estate as he did to his Olympic pursuits. I highly recommend him.
Alan Bryant

We were so glad to have Ryan guide us through the fraught process of buying our first house. His relaxed and friendly demeanor put us at ease when we first started looking and he encouraged us to take as much time as we needed. Once we found something we liked he was 100% engaged and committed to helping us to develop our offer and conduct due diligence. We look forward to working with him again when we are ready for our next move.

Ryan was able to answer all of my questions immediately, making the process of buying my first home and made it extremely easy for me.
One thing I really appreciate about Ryan is that he was able to understand what I wanted and find something even better than what I described.
Ryan is not only very professional but also easy to talk to.

Miriam Akhavan

Ryan (and Ashley) were lovely, competent, professional agents who provided a rare combination of confidence and warmth that really worked for us in looking for a home. We especially appreciated Ryan’s capacity to vision what “can be” in a space, combined with a very shrewd and calculating eye to what are financially worthwhile decisions (and what are not). We felt supported and listened to every step of the way - and were given very honest and direct opinions when asked. Ryan is also kind and has a great spirit that’s infectious - along with his more practical and strategic approach to real estate. We highly recommend him.

Bonus points: He's also super fun to look at property with - my family and I had a great time at every place we saw!

How lucky for us that my husband and I chose Ryan Cochrane as our realtor! He is a pleasure to deal with, responds quickly to queries, answered all our questions in a timely fashion, walked us through all the properties that interested us and basically made shopping for property from a different province--thanks to the pandemic and travel bans--relatively painless. His patience, in-depth knowledge of the area, good humour, thoughtfulness and professionalism were much appreciated. We look forward to working with him again.

We sold our home in the Estevan neighbourhood of Oak Bay in May of 2021, using Ryan as our seller's agent. Ryan was very responsive, communicated well, and friendly. He proposed a approach to selling our house that worked very well; by the time it was listed with MLS, there were already interested potential buyers ready to see it, and the house sold well above asking (which was also higher than we expected) in less than two days. Ryan managed the process very effectively; we knew at all times what was expected to happen next. We would certainly use Ryan again, and have no difficulty recommending him to others.

Ryan is and exceptional Realtor. His research and work ethic combined with a kind nature is standout. We were looking for a second home and being from the mainland Ryan was our ears and eyes. He made us feel we had nothing to worry about when it came fine print and history of everything we looked at. We would reccomended him and use him again in the future. He made the process easy.

In the space of a couple of months, Ryan helped me sell my late father's house and purchase my own condo. First and foremost, Ryan was always mindful of doing whatever he could to reduce the amount of stress that inevitably accompanies such big life changes. Ryan is kind, thoughtful, considerate and always conscious of minimizing disruptions and explaining procedures. I was so appreciative of how much he worked to accommodate my needs. In our first chat, I mentioned that I was looking for someone who hustled, but wasn't a hustler and Ryan definitely fit the bill!

Ryan was an AWESOME agent! We were very fortunate to have found Ryan who assisted us in finding and purchasing our home! Even in difficult situations, he was patient, working very hard and solved problems right away. He always replied to our emails swiftly even on weekend evenings! Ryan had a really good understanding of the local market and we would definitely use him again next time we buy or sell a home. Highly recommended!

We cannot speak more highly of Ryan as a real estate agent. He is trustworthy, patient, punctual and professional. We trusted Ryan had our best interest in mind throughout our whole house-hunting process. He provided us good insights on where to look, when to be flexible and when we should walk away. We are so grateful that helped us find our beautiful home and would highly recommend him to others who are looking for an agent who they can trust to find their dream home.

Ryan recently helped us purchase our home in Victoria, and I couldn't recommend working with him enough! He was incredible the entire way through the process - from helping arrange viewings at convenient times, to helping scrutinize potential properties, to making offers and the negotiation phase. He was very responsive to all our communication. Most importantly he made us feel that he understood what we were looking for and helped us to find it - we never felt rushed or pushed to settle, if anything Ryan actually encouraged us to realize that what we wanted WAS out there and that we just had to be patient. We would certainly use him again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

February 4, 2021
What is there to say about Ryan Cochrane? Should I mention his commitment to responding in mere moments day, night, weekend, and holidays? Or his approachable and friendly yet knowledgeable demeanour? His willingness to provide an opinion and guidance while still allowing us to make decisions that make sense to us? It's impossible to choose, so we'll just mention them all!
Our experience with Ryan was excellent, he was committed to our search, was willing to take the time to not only show us an endless stream of houses, but also to answer all of our questions as we went along. We were extremely impressed and appreciative of everything that he did for us.

Ryan is fantastic! He is highly knowledgeable, responsive, easy to communicate with, he knows the business, is thorough, and brings a high level of expertise to his work overall. He was even able to calm our nerves and keep us on course to the outcome we wanted. We will definitely work with him again and we recommend him with great enthusiasm :)

We loved working with Ryan! From start to finish he made the whole process of looking/buying our first home seamless. Ryan was always our first choice when looking for an agent to help navigate us through this life changing purchase! He made sure we were taken care every step of the way. And always had an answer to all of our questions! Ryan was an absolute joy to work with! We are beyond happy with our new home! Would highly recommend!

We have known Ryan personally for years and this was the first time using his services as a realtor. His knowledge of the city is excellent and was so well prepared for each showing. He helped us find the right house in the perfect area and was always available with any questions or concerns. Would highly recommend Ryan to anyone buying or selling a home.

When you are buying or selling property, it requires a skilled Real estate Agent to navigate the journey. Ryan Cochrane is that special person and we have been so pleased working with him for almost four months. He showed us his stamina, honesty, forthrightness, and kindness. When the market became troublesome, Ryan smoothed the waters with his patience and positive attitude. I would recommend him to everyone who is considering a real estate transaction. His behaviour is like a true Olympian and you won’t be disappointed.

Ryan helped us to buy a home that Lynn was unable to visit during the pandemic. He provided her a virtual walking tour of the home and answered every question she had, also offering insightful advice on improvements to make it "ours". He is an excellent communicator, extremely helpful, very friendly and open, and very knowledgeable. We recommend him without hesitation.

Thanks Ryan!

I would highly recommend Ryan Cochrane from The Agency for all your real estate needs. He was highly professional but down to earth friendly. He went out of his way to help us sell our house and find a new house with our needs in mind. He is easy to talk to and very sociable and we enjoyed working with him. He answered all our questions and handled all the details for us and set our minds at ease. Selling and purchasing our home was stressful but Ryan was there to offer support.

Ryan was great. We were looking for a condo that met very specific accessibility needs, which Ryan immediately understood. He went around to the condos on our viewing list in advance to confirm whether they would meet our accessibility needs, which saved us a huge amount of time ... and frustration. And of course he helped us find something that is just perfect for us. I highly recommend Ryan.

I was extremely happy working with Ryan Cochrane and highly recommend him for several reasons. Not only is he does he know the market well, but he is personable, punctual, extremely hard working, and responds very quickly to any correspondence. He took the time to learn what our needs and preferences are, and showed us a variety of homes to help us sort out our priorities. When our dream home came up on the market, he messaged us immediately and arranged for us to see it before anyone else had the opportunity. We put an offer in that same day, and won a bidding war without overpaying because Ryan is a skilled negotiator and advocated strongly for us. My husband and I are so happy about new home! I would recommend Ryan Cochrane to anyone looking for a home!

Ryan was a great realtor. He persevered with us through the uncertainty and difficulties of a house hunt during a pandemic, and we finally found our dream home. He then worked with us on a competitive bid and helped us close the deal on a home we never thought we’d have. Couldn’t be happier!

Ryan made our sale a simple and straightforward process. Always professional and courteous, the timely updates along the way made working with him a pleasure. No question was too small or insignificant, and no ask was too much. Anyone who is looking for representation either buying or selling, should stop searching and call Ryan. He will demonstrate the dedication needed to see your Real Estate transaction to a successful conclusion.

We hired Ryan to sell our oceanfront cottage and couldn't be happier with how hard he worked to represent us. We appreciated his updates and communication and how quickly he would get back to us if we had questions. Ryan makes it easy to trust him with the entire process and we would happily buy or sell with him in the future. You will not be disappointed having Ryan represent you in a purchase or sale.

Working with Ryan on our recent home purchase was an absolutely wonderful experience. He was professional and courteous throughout our time working together and can be counted on to provide an unbiased opinion. We viewed a number of different properties together and found Ryan to be very patient and diligent as we searched for the right property to fill our families needs. I have been through the home buying process on a number of occasions and highly recommend him for all of your real estate needs. Thank you so very much Ryan.

Ryan was great to work with as a first time home buyer. Even though the timing of our purchase was less than ideal for him, he helped ensure it when off without a hitch. I would highly recommend him. I echo other reviews of him that he was extremely flexible to give up his weekends and evenings to help us do showings and was always knowledgeable about each house we viewed.

Even though we decided to not end up buying, that never stopped Ryan from being a diligent advocate for finding us the best deal, that would make us the happiest overall. Great Guy.

Ryan helped us sell our property in under a week, and we couldn’t have been happier. While many circumstances around our sale were abnormal (and at times down right frustrating), Ryan was always vigilant, helpful, and available.
You can rely on Ryan to get the job done. He’s committed, hard-working and cares about helping you find that “place you call home.” Get started on your search with Ryan – you’ll be happy with the results!

Ryan is on it!! He is quick to respond and makes himself available under tight time constraints. He maintains professionalism and above all I trust him. He has our best interests in mind and did not pressure us to do anything that didn’t feel right. Thanks to his responsiveness and diligence, we landed the home we were looking for. Cheers!

Ryan was very professional and approachable. He was punctual with meetings and viewing and responded immediately to any texts and phone calls. He helped make the first time home buying process a breeze and got me set up with a great mortgage broker. A pleasure to work with! I would highly recommend him as an agent.

A comfortable, honest, pressure-free experience in searching for and buying a home. Ryan is the kind of person that anyone can feel at ease with, which was a really important quality for me. He was recommended to me by a family member who had an excellent experience with him too
