About Ryan
Take confidence in my proven track record. I have personally closed 475 transactions over the last decade totaling $108 million! I’m the ’23, ‘22 & ‘21 Best of the Fox award winner, made the final list of America’s Best agents, and was Glancier Magazine's 2019 Best Realtor in Kendall County!
I understand the importance of helping my clients come to a complete understanding about each step of the process, so that they can make the most informed decision concerning their lives, finances, and future. I'll be available at every step to listen, coach, and guide you in your housing needs whether it is buying, selling, or investing.
As a lifelong resident of the Fox Valley area, I confidently service communities that border the Fox River as well as those along the Rt 34 corridor. My satisfaction comes in helping new residents discover what makes our area such a special place! My wife, Selena, and I have been married 18 years and we have 2 daughters: ages 13 and 9. We enjoy visiting the parks, museums, city festivals, and other amenities in the local area.

Ryan's Reviews

Ryan Kurtz:
Thank you for your diligence and professionalism. We made an excellent choice choosing you to help us sell the home that was in our family for 50 plus years. Our house has so many wonderful memories and it definitely was difficult to put it up for sale but you did your research, treated our house with TLC, your attention to detail was impeccable. I felt like you cared about our home as much as we did. Thank you so much Ryan! 🫶

Ryan was simply amazing. My husband and I live in Utah and had to sell his mother's house in Illinois. Ryan prepared a detailed marketing plan for listing and selling the property and kept us informed regularly. When we needed someone to clean the house before showing, he helped us to find a reliable company who did an awesome job. Everything from pricing to listing to the final sale was handled with the utmost professionalism.
