Ryan McKinney

"A sale is what happens to you while you are immersed in serving your customer." This quote, whose author is unknown, became Ryan McKinney's professional mantra the day he read it in the Spring of 2004. It has guided him well and it has served his clients well, through the years. Ryan says clients, instead of customers. Because a customer is someone who buys a product, commodity, or service. A client is under the care and protection of another. Ryan hopes his clients feel they are under his protection and that he will always strive to do what is in the best interest of his client. His goal is to serve his clients and to help them make the best real estate decisions for their future. He is honored to work by referral, where he is at his best.
