Testimonials
"First-time home buying was definitely like treading into deep, scary, unknown waters. But Ryan was there every step of the way, preparing me for what was to come. Ryan was very helpful throughout the entire process." - Katrina O.
"Ryan helped us throughout the entire process from start to finish. He always listened to our needs and never placed any pressure on us. Most importantly he made what can be a very stressful decision for first time buyers smoother by explaining each step. We would recommend him to any buyers, first time or not." - Dan H. & Sally D.
"Ryan Gable made buying my first place so easy and special! I was a little nervous about the process at first, but Ryan never made me feel like he was pressuring me, or like I was asking "stupid" questions. I would recommend Starting Point Realty to any of my friends who are looking at buying their first places. I will also for sure use Ryan again in the future!" - Kari G.
"People tend to have some very negative associations with real estate agents for their often aggressive techniques. Ryan Gable breaks this mold, both by being an excellent and selfless agent as well as an exceptionally decent human being. As first-time homebuyers, our search for a home could have been overwhelming and intimidating. It was anything but that once we began working with Ryan. We literally knew nothing about the process of buying a home, and from our first lunch meeting to the closing on our house, Ryan patiently and professionally walked us through every step of the process. His knowledge was comprehensive and useful, but what impressed us the most was his willingness to go to bat for us and be our advocate when issues arose with the seller of our home. We truly felt that we had someone in our corner, not eager to make a sale but to see us come out of our home buying experience with the best possible result. Ryan did not stop working with us once the keys were in our hands; he kept checking in with us to ensure that there were no surprises after we moved in. Because of our tremendous experience, we have already recommended Ryan to several friends, and will continue to do so whenever the opportunity presents itself. We stumbled upon Ryan and Starting Point Realty by chance, and looking back we feel so lucky that we did. Thank you, Ryan, for helping to make us proud first-time homeowners." - Devin & Kristine H.
"Ryan, I would just like to thank you so much for your assistance with leading us to our new home. It was a long journey and I would be the first one to tell anyone that if you are looking for a Realtor that puts his heart and soul into helping you find your home; a person that has great patience and is very, very much in tune with knowing what you would or would not like (and more importantly, "what is best for you"), I would highly recommend Ryan. Ryan, is very quick to tell you if he feels that something is not of a benefit to you in your home buying process as he did with us; and I am so grateful because hindsight is 20/20. This is why it is of vital importance to have someone that you can trust. Not someone in it just for the money. When buying a home, especially your first home, you need to know that you have a Realtor that has your back throughout the entire process. We just recently made a big move in our lives purchasing our new home, and I have a great comfort in knowing that, Ryan, you were a part of that. We really, truly love our home; thanks for being our Realtor as well as our friend!!!!!!!" - Sheila, Morris, Amoris
"Ryan's performance as my real estate agent excelled in every way. As a first time buyer purchasing a home alone, I was a bit apprehensive because of the stories I had heard about "pushy" agents. It's like going to purchase a car by yourself. You don't want the salesperson to take advantage of your naivete. This was definitely not the case with Ryan. His confident nature, his wealth of experience, and what I believe was his sincere interest in making the buying experience for the first-time home buyer a really good one, gained him my trust and raised my comfort level almost immediately. Besides, he's really a great guy! I especially note for affirmation Ryan's valuable contribution when we received the financial documents from the condo association. Ryan closely reviewed the documents and figures and discovered issues that were not fully disclosed to us. There's no way that I could have caught these issues on my own. I am so thankful to have worked with Ryan. When the time comes, I will call him again." - Tammy J.
"Loving the outdoors, we were looking for a property that could give us a comfort and lifestyle with fresh air, a gorgeous view of the landscape, and a nighttime showing of the stars. We got it.With Ryan's help, we were brought to different locations that had that outdoor appeal. His dedication and hard work was relentless during our search. Contacting Ryan was simple, and communication between us was dependable and timely. He patiently answered all of our first-time home buying questions and gave us honest answers. Thanks to Ryan, we were introduced to our dream home in May. His enthusiasm and support were apparent throughout all of our transactions - from the initial offer to the closing. He walked us through every step and educated us on the decision-making process for buying our first home. Ryan Gable can only receive the highest accolades for being our REALTOR® and we would be happy to recommend him to show you our dream home. Ryan we thank you!!" - Jim and Jessica L.
"I really want to thank you for all you have done for me. You have made my experience in buying my first home better than I could have imagined. You have gone above and beyond your duties as my REALTOR®, and you have been more than just that. You have been my supporter, my motivator, my advocate. I appreciate all the time you put in making sure I was informed, comfortable, and happy with my purchase. So, thank you. Thank you for your patience and for not losing faith in me after I had already seen a million places and was still not sure in what I wanted. I am one of those people that just have to do things on their own time and you never rushed me or were ever frustrated. And you not only helped me to find a home, but helped with my loan issues, my association issues, my attorney, inspection, you were there every step of the way, making everything that much more easier. I am really going to miss working with you and I can't wait for the opportunity to recommend your name. Thank you for all your hard work and help, and I WILL be seeing you at my first barbeque.....sometime in September." - Julie K.
"As first-time homebuyers with very busy schedules, we really appreciated Ryan's flexibility, willingness to focus on what we wanted, and attention to detail. He was very trustworthy and responsive, which made the whole process happen with a minimum of delay, wasted time, and anxiety. He went beyond the minimum and helped us find an attorney, an inspector, and even helped negotiate with our lender! He knows Chicago in and out and we would not hesitate to recommend him to friends, colleagues, and family. Thanks, Ryan!" - Michael & Annie
"We just wanted to say thanks again for everything you did for us! Working with you was carefree. Your compassion and level of professionalism was so high that there wasn't one instance where we felt like we couldn't trust your judgement 100%. You made us so comfortable and we really enjoyed that about you. I have heard horror stories about REALTORS® that just don't care, but throughout the entire process you were always there explaining what was going on, making sure we understood what was happening, and if we had a question or concern, you were always one phone call away! You really went above and beyond what we ever hoped for! We will always recommend you to family and friends and we can't wait to work with you again when we are ready for something bigger!!" - Sarah W. & Jason S.
"When I decided that I was sick of renting and throwing money away every month, I still wasn't convinced that I would be able to own my own home. I had so many questions and truly didn't know where to start. I called Ryan because I knew he was a great REALTOR®, but I also thought he would be patient with me. I was right. Since I literally had to be talked through every step of the process, he was the perfect choice. While looking at properties, Ryan picked up on things that I never would have noticed, was well informed about the neighborhoods and properties, and shared as much real estate knowledge as he possibly could. He helped me decide what was really important to me, and I found a great place! What surprised me the most, and what I believe is the most significant step in purchasing your first home, is the time and process between submitting your first offer and your closing date. Ryan called me nearly every other day, setting up my inspection, making sure my lawyer was in contact with me, keeping me updated on new developments, walking me through my mortgage, etc, etc. I could go on and on about how dedicated he was to taking care of all the loose ends. Without his commitment to getting things resolved, I would have felt lost. I am so thankful for all the time he invested even after a purchasing price was agreed upon. A friend of mine is closing on her first home in a few weeks, and is calling me for help because her REALTOR® has not shared enough information and is impossible to get a hold of. Ryan is dependable, on time, and easy to reach. When you've got a question or a need, he's quick to respond and gets things done. He made me feel informed and comfortable every step of the way and I'm so happy with the results!" - Kelly C.
