Client Reviews
From local home sellers & buyers

Ryan is, in my opinion, the most knowledgeable, helpful, and genuine agent in the south Orange County area, specializing in San Clemente. He genuinely cares about his clients and helped my husband and I for over a year while we were hunting for a new home! We ultimately settled on a place in South San Clemente and could not be happier! He is a family man who will prioritize your needs, listen to your requests, and give very valuable advice/input where needed.

I know Ryan extremely well because he is a local expert such as myself. I have had many real estate experiences involving Ryan and he is always been professional, ethical. Although Ryan and I are competitors in the same marketplace, I truly believe there is enough opportunity for everyone to thrive. I’ve had the pleasure of observing Ryan's professionalism and moral ethics firsthand, and I must say, I have tremendous respect for the way he conducts his business. He consistently prioritizes his clients' best interests and approaches every transaction with a level of integrity that is inspiring. Ryan is a true professional and a valuable asset to our industry. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy expert.

For years we have dreamed of living in San Clemente. Buying a home at long distance is difficult at best. Ryan is the most outstanding real estate agent we have ever worked with. He understood exactly what we were looking for and was not just on the spot with answers to questions and taking care of details, but already thinking ahead and acting on our behalf when issues arose. As out-of-state buyers we benefitted enormously from his vast array of resources for a range of needs such as inspectors, insurance, tradespeople, etc. He will be there with you every step of the way.

Absolutely 100% recommend Ryan and his team for any real estate needs! He is the San Clemente realtor specialist! We were first time sellers, and Ryan helped us along they way with each step and made us feel so supported. No question was ever dumb, and he thoroughly explained each process. His marketing and staging team were also phenomenal. Selling a home felt easy with him. We actually moved out of state before the house went up on the market, and Ryan took the reins and handled the entire process for us. He got an offer on our home after 2 days on the market. Do yourself a huge favor and choose him and his team.

5 stars aren't enough! My wife and I just completed a home purchase in San Clemente, and thanks to Ryan we found our dream home! We started this process months ago while still living in Northern California in preparation for a move down to San Clemente. When looking for a realtor, we immediately sought out Ryan thanks to his expertise in this particular area, his honesty, and how easy he seemed to work with. During our search, Ryan showed us many different neighborhoods and gave us the low-down on factors we might not have even considered. We never felt pressured, and Ryan was incredibly patient and responsive throughout our search. When we finally found the home we wanted, Ryan acted quickly on our behalf and was communicative each step of the way. If you're looking for an amazing realtor in San Clemente or in Southern California more broadly, I can't recommend Ryan more strongly!

Ryan and his team are very professional. They know the San Clemente area. He sold our house and helped us find our sanctuary. Very grateful. He is a realtor you want to partner with.

Ryan operates with zero ethics and is totally devoid of any moral compass. If you have any sort of concern for the well-being of your community, do not give this clown one red cent of your money. Thanks to Ryan, I now get to worry about the safety of my wife and four year old daughter that live directly behind/underneath one of the TWO REHAB FACILITIES he just placed in our beloved neighborhood. You should be ashamed of yourself, Ryan. I hope your recent transactions are the undoing of your real estate career.

Ryan is selling to big business in family neighborhoods. He has no regard for the safety of our children or the quality of life in SW San Clemente - do not do business with him!

Ryan Schramm does NOT have SC's best interests in mind. He and his "dear friend" Harold Alzate built 3 and sold 3 homes on our quiet SWSC street to sober living facilities with no regard how that would impact the residents of the street. Our kids are in danger and Ryan was only in it to make a buck. Email after email to Ryan has gone ignored. He is a chicken and should be brave enough to let us know why he would facilitate a sale that puts a dangerous BUSINESS in a residential neighborhood. IN HIS TOWN! Why? I hope the money he made on these sales give him comfort, because his reputation in this town should be forever tarnished. I'm sad and disgusted. And we were told by the buyer that this is only the beginning. We are heartsick. Shameful behavior. Spread the word and use another realtor. Schramm is a scam.

Ryan was the best agent ever! He was able to find the perfect buyer for our home. Ryan has an awesome support team to ensure a smooth transition. I recommend him highly when selling a home.

Ryan and his team are simply the best. Patient, knowledgeable and focused after sorting throught our needs and wants. Could not have had a better experience relocating for Colorado to San Clemente.

What a crazy summer! Trying to sell a house in one state and not having any idea where we’d end up in Southern California. Ryan and his team were patient and knowledgeable every step of the way. Never did we believe we’d end up in our dream location; San Clemente. His solid advice in guiding us on our offer helped us get the a great house that fit our needs perfectly! Erica and Natalie on the team were great to work with- very responsive and helpful. We’d use Ryan again in a heartbeat!

Ryan helped us buy our first and second homes. He went above and beyond in searching and touring prospective houses, as well as helping us create a successful offer in this tough market. We highly recommend Ryan and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell in the South Orange County area.

Ryan and his team helped us navigate through the process of listing and selling our home of 15 years in a professional, expedient manner. Together we priced it to sell and had multiple offers within days of our first weekend showings.

The best decision we made in buying our new house was to have Ryan Schramm as our agent. He was a positive, smart, experienced force that helped us navigate a very competitive market successfully. His experience and knowledge of the San Clemente marketplace coupled with his negotiation capabilities were pivotal to the successful purchase of our home. His communication with us was exemplary through every step of the sales process and his dedication to finding us the right property was outstanding.

I cannot recommend Ryan Schramm Real Estate enough! Ryan and his team are the BEST IN THE BUSINESS and are incredibly professional, efficient and client focused. We struggled to find a home for over eight months, and within weeks of working with Ryan we were in escrow and in OUR DREAM HOME! Thank you Ryan and the team for your incredible work. Highly recommend to anyone buying or selling in South Orange County!

Ryan is a true professional and his team provided great service to me. I highly recommend Ryan as the best Realtor in South Orange County.

Ryan Schramm and his team are probably the kindest, most knowledgeable and effective real estate professionals we have ever worked with and we’ve bought and/or sold more then 10 properties over the past 50 years! Ryan made what had been a very stressful probate sale, painless! We feel blessed to have stopped in to an open house he was showing, and knew right away he was the right choice to list our property. He helped us select the best offer (he brought us 2) and his team handled everything else.

We are very appreciative of the hard work Ryan and Courtney put in to sell our home. My sister and I both live cross country in Miami, Fl. When it came time to choose a Realtor to sell our childhood home, we were looking for someone with great results, great energy, and someone we would enjoy working with and could trust to get the job done. We found all that and more in Ryan and Courtney. They helped us with quickly moving the current tenants, at the time, and helping them find a new home. Then they coordinated and oversaw a team of professionals that helped us get the home in saleable condition so that we could get top dollar. It was a lot of work and took over a week to complete. During the time our home was on the market, Ryan kept us informed through his weekly status report emails and responded very quickly to any questions we had. We are very happy we chose Ryan and Courtney to work with and would happily choose to work with him again.

Ryan and his group were very knowledgeable about the market in our town. He sold my house with in a week of it being on the market.I was very happy with his staff and all the follow up.

I can always count on Ryan for all things San Clemente. Thank you for help.

I found Ryan based off of his YouTube channel and these Google reviews. To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure who all of these 5 star reviews are from. Ryan started out great at first, giving us an overview of the San Clemente area and assuring us that he is the right person for this job. Unfortunately, this was not the case. We had previously parted ways with another realtor due to poor communication and lack of initiative, and I regret to say that Ryan exhibited the same issues as the process continued. I ended up finding all the potential homes myself on Realtor.com, and not once did he send me recommendations or updates, which should have been the first red flag. When I found a home I truly loved, I asked Ryan to vet it thoroughly and ensure it wasn’t a rushed flip. He assured me it was a solid investment and advised making a full-price offer to secure it, despite the house having fallen out of escrow three times prior. He claimed the sellers had invested over $200K in renovations. Upon inspecting the property myself during the close, I noticed that even the toilet paper holders weren’t screwed into the wall. It was a TOTAL flip, and not nearly that much was spent! Halfway into the process, it started to feel like Ryan was more aligned with the seller’s interests than ours. To add to the disappointment, the appraisal came back a lot lower than our offer. Despite this significant gap, Ryan discouraged us from negotiating too much, suggesting we might “lose” the property altogether. I am happy with my property, but it is no thanks to Ryan. I feel like we lost a lot of money with him in this process, and he was not on our side. Even after the deal was finalized, Ryan did not meet us in person to hand over the keys, and I had to follow up myself on the day of closing to confirm that we were officially done. I asked him a handful of times to make sure we also obtained keys to the amenities in the association. And guess what? Upon closing, NO association keys. Now we have to pay a crazy fee to obtain keys to our own community amenities. He had also promised to help other family members who were also searching for homes, but they have not heard from him since. Lastly, while not required, a token gesture to acknowledge our purchase—like a small gift or even a congratulatory message—would have been appreciated, especially given the significant commission he earned. He even ASKED us what we wanted over text, but we haven’t seen him since we toured the home together initially. He was not there for close or final walkthrough. In the end, I wouldn’t recommend Ryan as a realtor. He seems more focused on securing his commission than genuinely advocating or caring for his clients.

We are incredibly grateful to work and partner with Ryan Schramm in assisting his client. The collaboration was seamless from start to finish. We highly recommend Ryan Schramm!

We used Ryan as a Buyer’s agent when we moved to San Clemente. We selected him because we met him at an open house some years ago and he impressed us with his thorough knowledge of San Clemente’s many neighborhoods. If you know no one in San Clemente, Ryan is the guy to use. He’s a second-generation San Clemente resident and his parents still live there. He’s been in the business long enough to know how to get things done, who to refer you to if you need quality remodeling work done after close of escrow, and what issues to consider in the process. When we sat down with him at our first meeting he spent about 40 minutes listening to what we were after, like a matchmaker trying to put us in the house of our dreams. He took us around to some prospects, handled all the details of the offer in a professional way and was diligent in his communications throughout escrow. In short, he’s everything you’d want in a buyer’s agent, and I’m sure he brings the same focus to the game when he’s a listing agent. Fortunately he was able to put us in a house that we hopefully will never have to use him for that. He also has a GREAT YouTube channel that even includes information on various San Clemente neighborhoods and other useful information on the home buying process.

Ryan is a fantastic realtor. He was the perfect option for us to find our home in San Clemente. We couldn't recommend him enough. He is truly an expert in his field.

Ryan is a top notch realtor. While we didn’t end up purchasing, he showed us several homes and was very communicative, reliable, and professional. His knowledge of the San Clemente market and community is impressive. Ryan was honest and trustworthy and had our best interest first. There’s no doubt he will be our realtor when we do purchase!

DON’T hire Ryan! He put his own interests to line his pockets over the safety of our children and community. There are so many better ethical Realtors in San Clemente. Ryan is not looking out for our community that he claims to be a part of. Please don’t help him put our community at risk.

Ryan only cares about one thing - lining his pockets. Even if that means at the detriment of others. The community of San Clemente deserves better.

We found an awesome house and credit Ryan for saving us tons of time avoiding properties he knew we wouldn’t like, being available any time we needed him, and having an efficient process to close on the property. We have already recommended him multiple times to friends. Tim Smith San Clemente

Ryan Schramm has a great team and network of resources who know San Clemente and the surrounding areas better than anyone. Ryan and his associate Erica helped us propose an offer and purchase a small single family home in San Clemente when we relocated from Colorado. We highly recommend Ryan and team for their responsiveness, local intelligence, kindness and professionalism.

Ryan and his team were awesome to work with! We found our perfect San Clemente beach home through Ryan. If you're looking for a professional with the knowledge and ability to make your dreams come true, Ryan Schramm Real Estate is the absolute best.

Ryan and his team did a wonderful job helping with the sale of my mother's home every step of the way! It was seamless and we were given great counsel on what we needed to do to make the house more marketable. We are very grateful to Ryan, Natalie and the rest of the folks that made this happen for us! Highly recommend to any and everyone who is looking to buy or sell in this area!

Ready to move back to the area after living in the Pacific Northwest for several years, my husband and I had been looking for a special property in San Clemente for a while. Because of the low inventory in this area, it’s been especially hard to find the right home and beat out other buyers. Fortunately, Ryan knew our ‘wishlist’ of the criteria we needed for our new home! He found our beautiful new property for us and we absolutely fell in love with the unique yard and view! He helped us negotiate a great deal, beating out several other offers. Yay! 🎉 We are thrilled and excited to renovate our new property and enjoy the magnificent 180° ocean view high above San Clemente! We highly recommend Ryan Schramm Real Estate to help you to purchase or sell your home! He’s professional, smart and uniquely equipped to help you with all your real estate needs from start to finish. 5 STARS!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In September of 2020, my wife and I made the decision to move from our home of 35 years in the Carmel Valley area of San Diego to San Clemente. We wanted to be closer to our children and grandchildren. The real estate agents representing the sale of our place in San Diego suggested we allow them to find an agent to represent our interests in San Clemente. They referred us to Ryan who turned out to be, in our opinion, the best person we could have hired to help us in our search. Our needs had to be considered making the task a little more difficult. Elderly, vision impaired made the task a bit more difficult to find a floor plan which would be safe to navigate. Due to low inventory and the pandemic, the search went on for 10 months. Throughout the entire time, Ryan continually assured us the market would change and we would experience an uptick in home sales soon. He kept in frequent contact providing us with prospective houses he felt suitable for our needs. Although the search lasted much longer than either of us expected, we never felt Ryan was not in hot pursuit of our new home. His personality, expertise and knowledge of the industry, in our opinion, is why we now live in San Clement. We are grateful and thankful to him for making our transition such a rewarding experience.

Ryan Schramm is very knowledgeable of the San Clemente market and most professional in his working with clients. My wife and I have benefited from Ryan’s fine help with TWO Real Estate transactions. He keeps the focus on the details, but at the same time, is most accommodating and understanding as to our personal needs and interests. He is superb at talking things through and explains relevant real estate logic and strategy clearly. We can’t say enough about the fabulous job he’s done for us and would highly recommend him to anyone.

Ryan was excellent! He is very knowledgeable about the home buying process, he has the ability to build a good rapport with other agents and his team and him were so organized, this process was a dream! Thanks Ryan for all your help!

Un-believable! One-of-a-kind, genuine, heartfelt, professional, caring and concerned REAL Estate Team!!Our dream would not have come true had we not enlisted the expertise, the area knowledge and the patience and savvy of Ryan and Courtney's team!Will be more than happy to answer any questions about our experience with Ryan and his team.

Ryan Schramm and his staff had an excellent knowledge of the San Clemente area and all of the properties that were available and a few that hadn't come on the market yet. I was not an easy customer because I was looking for a single family home on a modest budget but Ryan did his homework and presented me with some very good properties one of witch I purchased. I would highly recommend Ryan Schramm to anyone looking for a honest hard working agent with good local market knowledge.

Ryan was an absolute pleasure to work with! He helped my roommates and I find our first apartment, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. He is incredibly nice, professional, and an excellent communicator. Ryan was a huge help in facilitating our conversations with the landlord and took the time to answer all of our questions thoroughly. His guidance made everything easy and straightforward. I would absolutely work with him again and highly recommend him to family and friends looking for a reliable and knowledgeable realtor!

Ryan recently helped me with the purchase and closure of a transaction that could be described as difficult -- at best -- due to what was a constantly evolving set if circumstance. His professionalism throughout, creative approach to resolving problems, undeterred focus, and ongoing availability regardless of time of day ... I cannot say enough. Thanks Ryan! If I could give a 6th star, I would!

I had a great experience buying a home in Dana Point with Ryan Schramm. He is a very professional and knowledgeable realtor and was always available to answer my questions. Ryan made our buying process stress free and smooth. I would highly recommend Ryan Schramm for your real estate needs!

What a great experience. I was from out of the area looking for a home in San Clemente. I met Ryan and he had amazing knowledge of the area and went to work finding me the home I was looking for and helped me negotiate a fair price. I would recommend Ryan and his company to anyone looking for a quality real estate professional.

Ryan Schramm was amazing to work with, he helped me sell and buy my homes in San Clemente. His knowledge of the town I grew up and live in as well as the current market ensured I got the best market price possible. His representation made me feel very secure in the midst of the negotiations and finalization of the deals. Thank you Ryan!

Avoid Ryan and his team at all costs. There are plenty of fantastic Realtors in San Clemente to choose from. Ryan is not among them. His business practices are unacceptable to the community he claims to be a part of.

I had a truly awful experience Ryan. He was completely unresponsive when I reached out to get his feedback on a recent property he closed in Southwest San Clemente. He claims to care about the people and houses of his so called neighbors, but he is more interested in his own agenda and bank account than anything else. If you’re looking for an agent with no morals then Ryan is your guy. Do some research for yourself before you sign any paperwork with Ryan. I would strongly advise anyone to steer clear of this agent and find someone who genuinely cares about their clients' needs.

Ryan Schramm’s expertise in the real estate field is unbeatable. Ryan helped us find the perfect home. We were searching for a single story , ocean view home in San Clemente and Ryan was instrumental with helping us find the perfect property in beautiful Forest Ranch with an incredible ocean view. Ryan was a pleasure to work. His focus and attention to our needs was incredible.

We had the pleasure of working with Ryan and his team as we were relocating from Canada to the United States. We were looking for someone who knew the area we were interested in and someone that actually calls San Clemente home themselves. From our first meeting with Ryan, we knew we were in good hands (in-person and via zoom, he was very accomodating). Not only did Ryan help navigate the home buying process but he went above and beyond to assist in the relocation. It was a truly an end to end service. Ryan really listened to our needs and helped pinpoint the exact area we wanted to live in without being pushy. We also had the pleasure to view multiple homes with Ryan in various areas of San Clemente to make sure we were looking in the right area that fits our lifestyle. We really appeciated this to know what San Clemente had to offer. As part of the home search, we also got the chance to work with Erica - she was fantastic as well. She was able to assist us in making contacts to trades people to help us with any rennovations we wanted to make as well as recommendations for doctors and dentists for our family. We really want to thank Ryan and Erica for really making this relocation as easy as possible for the family. If Ryan and his team can handle a complex case like ours (relocation) he can definitely assist with folks currently living in the United States. We highly recommend reaching out to Ryan for any of your real estate needs in San Clemente, but also surrounding areas like Dana Point, San Juan Capistrano, etc. You will not be dissapointed. Thanks again to Ryan and his team as we settle into our new home - we couldn't be any happier with the result.

Ryan was very professional and patience during our home search. His extensive knowledge of San Clemente and the surrounding area helped us to select properties that met our needs. I highly recommend Ryan and his staff knowing that any prospective homeowner will be in good hands.

I found Ryan Schramm by watching his highly informative YouTube videos. We were moving from the east coast and Ryan made the transition a breeze with his attention to detail, easy-going personality and inside info from living in the area. He suggested a local loan officer, Dylan Tortarolo, together they worked hand in hand to make our purchase successful. We would unequivocally recommend Ryan Schramm as your Realtor.

Thank you to the Schramm team for helping us sell our house in San Clemente! Ryan sold our home over our asking price and his confidence in the real estate market put us at complete ease. Ryan and his team were phenomenal to work with, thank you for the amazing experience!

We recently purchased a home in May 2021, during probably the worst time to be on the buying side of the housing market. Ryan and his team truly surprised my wife and I on their approach. We could not be more happier on the way the deal turned out. If you are planning to live in San Clemente I would not look any further than this Real Estate team!

Steve Crowley was our buyers agent during this extremely difficult buyers market of 2021. There were very few homes for sale under one million dollars in all of south Orange County and most would have multiple offers well over asking price within a short time of their being on the market. Steve was available as much as we needed him to help us find the right home. He had so much wisdom and good advice. The support from his office made for an extremely easy process once we started making offers and through the escrow. The biggest plus though was Steve’s integrity. He was always honest, forthright, and reliable in everything and he truly wanted to do what was best for us. Thanks for everything Steve! God bless you!

Ryan and Courtney did a fantastic job with helping us buy and sell our homes. Both of them are personable, listen well, and care about their work. I’d highly recommend working with them and would gladly hire them again in the future.

Ryan Schramm and his team are incredible and were a joy to work with. We had recently had a negative experience with another realtor and were close to giving up when we found Ryan. He, Lyndsey and Courtney were professional, optimistic, and set on finding my fiancee and me our forever home without pressure. We genuinely felt that Ryan had our back and was going to do everything in his power to get us the house we wanted at the best price. We did find our home, and could not be happier! Although we did not buy in San Clemente, Ryan and his team showed their knowledge as professional agents and did their homework to find the best house for us. Ryan is an honest, hardworking, and trustworthy real estate agent who I would refer to anyone.

My wife and I used Ryan to sell our beloved home in SW San Clemente. I cannot recommend Ryan and his team enough. Being a long time resident of San Clemente, we understood how a local agent specializing in SW San Clemente was required for this micro market. Ryan built a relationship with me over many years even before we considered selling the home. In SW San Clemente there are 5 or so top realtors and we know them all personally. Although Ryan is the youngest and newest of these top producers we selected him to sell the home that we loved and handle the largest value financial transactions we are ever likely to have.Why did we select Ryan? Ryan is communicative, honest, extremely hardworking and knows SW like the back of his hand. Ryan is also honest and forthright and does not hesitate to guide his clients with fact filled, researched advice.Ryan handled our sale extremely well. Having had the property rented out, Ryan and his team coordinated improvements that were needed when we were across the country and was extremely pro-active in marketing the home. In fact, the eventual buyers came in through an open house which a lot of realtors say do not bring in buyers. Ryan guided us through listing the house and adjusting the price during a change in the local market after the Spring. When other realtors stood pat on pricing, we adjusted accordingly and still sold for a fantastic price.I could not recommend another SW realtor more strongly.

We were so lucky to find Ryan and Courtney Schramm! We live out of state and totally relied on Ryan to find homes that met our needs in locations that met our standards. We even asked him to FaceTime at the home we ended up purchasing!! He helped make the purchase process easy and answered all questions we threw at him!!! Courtney was a great help with things that came up after the sale....work we needed done at the home, meeting sub contractors there, etc. They are an awesome team and we would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a home in the San Clemente area!!!
