Ryan Nickell

Meet Ryan Nickell, a trailblazer in the world of real estate, whose passion for service and keen eye for investment has reshaped the landscape of Silicon Valley. From a young age, Ryan was inspired by his hero and role model, leading him in his father’s footsteps to the prestigious U.S. Naval Academy. His journey then led him to the sun-kissed shores of California in 2007, where he not only fell in love with the state but also discovered his knack for real estate investments.

 

During his first deployment, Ryan's entrepreneurial spirit led him to inadvertently become an investor, sparking the beginning of a new global portfolio of vacation rentals and short-term cash flow properties. His focus on clients is clear – Return on Investment (ROI). This dedication to maximizing ROI paved the way for the co-founding of Silicon Valley's avant-garde brokerage, R.O.I. Real Estate.

 

For the past decade, Ryan, alongside his co-founder Tim, has dominated the Silicon Valley real estate scene. Their expertise and love of their clients have made them arguably the most prominent and successful real estate agents in the Bay, with over 100 reviews on Zillow, a rare tier for any agent's past performance. And the best predictor of future performance is past performance. Their reviews highlight the results they consistently achieve. 

 

Spring of 2023, Ryan was honored at the "Top 1% Gala" hosted by the Santa Clara County Association of REALTORS®. This recognition puts Ryan among the best-of-the-best local agents.

 

For 2022, Ryan has also been acknowledged by The Wall Street Journal as one of the nation's top 1% of real estate agents.

 

Ryan values relationships and his reputation for uncompromising quality above all else. Doing a lot of little things slightly better adds up to make a big difference, to the tune of selling homes for over 10% above neighbor's homes.

 

What sets Ryan apart is his unique ability to offer clients a consultative pros and cons approach rooted in ROI expertise. His hyper-local insights, coupled with global connections, enable him to provide a level of service that few agents can match, according to countless clients who have ‘made the switch’ after futile attempts to win in this competitive Silicon Valley market.
