Matt Ryan
Principal broker · Ryan Realty
No listing agreement. No pitch call required. The report is yours either way.
Plenty of owners sell on their own. The ones who net the most treat it like a brokerage would.
The honest comparison
Each of these is doable on your own. The question is what your weekends are worth and where the dollars actually move.

What we hand you, free
The same pricing analysis we build for our own listings, for the home you are selling yourself. No listing agreement attached, no follow-up condition.
Why free? Because owners who get an honest number remember where it came from. Some keep selling solo and do fine. Some call us later. Both are fine outcomes.
Your pricing report
Built from closed sales, not estimates
- What your home should bring, from closed sales near you
- The comps behind the number, listed out
- Who the realistic buyer pool is for your home and price point
- Where for-sale-by-owner deals most often lose money, and how to avoid it
If it stops being worth your weekend
Some owners run the whole sale themselves and close happy. Others get three weeks in and decide the showings, the screening, and the paperwork are not how they want to spend their time. If that happens, listing with us is a straightforward conversation.
The commission conversation is plain. It is a total commission split between the listing brokerage and the buyer’s brokerage, it is negotiable, and we put the exact number in writing before you sign anything. Professional photography, the MLS listing, every showing, and full transaction management from contract to close are included. No add-on fees.
And if you keep selling solo, the pricing report is still yours. We mean that part.

He had very constructive ideas to improve my property and always found a reasonable subcontractor to improve my chances of selling my home. If you are selling or buying a home I suggest you contact Matt Ryan immediately. Matt is the best!"
