"Amazing realtor who is the only reason we got the house we wanted. Wouldn't go with anyone else in the future! Recommended to all."
James Cunningham
"I only have fantastic things to say about Ryan. I just bought my first place with him. Highly professional and responsive, and has a great team in the back office doing the paperwork seamlessly. He explained the process, the market, and how to navigate the bidding wars to a nervous first-time buyer. Will go out of his way to find you good places, including connecting to his network for off-market sales. Always shows up to viewings on time as scheduled. Never a pushy sales type. He will always let you know what he thinks the place is worth and gives you the comparables for you to make an estimate yourself. Definitely recommend him to any first-time homebuyer."
Jacky Zhai

"Ryan (Cole) has provided exceptional service and support since I listed my Ottawa condo with him in September -- closing a sale at the asking price within three weeks of listing. Ryan is easy-going, professional and very quick to respond to queries and concerns. Clearly an experienced realtor, with expertise in the Ottawa and Ottawa downtown markets, I have been very happy with the service I have received and would recommend him without hesitation. Mark Giles"

He has a great ability to connect with his clients, is professional, kind, very knowledgeable, provides sound advice, takes initiative, and is honest and extremely responsive. We deeply value his time, dedication and hard work. He is the person you want alongside you as navigate every step of the stressful process of buying or selling. We truly lucked out working with Ryan and would recommend him without hesitation! I could go on and on... THANK YOU, RYAN!"
Jessica Simon
"This is our second time working with Ryan. And there's a reason why we went back to him! Nine years ago, he helped us sell our condo and find a great home in the Alta Vista area. This time he helped us with our first foray into the rental property market. We HIGHLY recommend Ryan. He is an expert in his field and readily shares his expertise with his clients. He is extremely prompt, always professional and best of all, you can trust his advice. He helped us get an unbelievable deal on a property that was perfectly suited to our interests and then continued to provide support by providing us with insider tips to maximize value. This was a great experience as usual and we will definitely go back to Ryan the next time."
Barry
"This was our first home and it was a pleasure to work with Ryan and his team. They were attentive, professional, patient and helpful throughout the entire process. They even managed to help us get a house under asking price which is crazy in this market. Thank you to Ryan and team, we will certainly be working with you all again when it comes to sell or buy again."
Cameron Smith
"Ryan has helped us out from our first home purchase and now our 2nd house purchase as well as selling of our first home. He is reliable, professional and friendly.

Danielle Lavictoire-Perrault
"Three week ago I decided i was ready to sell my house. Now, my house is sold and with an offer that makes me very happy.

Such a warm, professional and knowledgeable team."
Deb MacAulay

Herve Vogel
"My family and I recently worked with Ryan Cole and would recommend his services to anyone looking to buy, sell or rent in Ottawa. With the way the market was, we quickly became skeptical that we would ever find the "perfect" condo for us downtown Ottawa. However, Ryan never gave up and always had options for us to look at, within our price range. He was incredible with showing us all of the places we were interested in, and working around our insanely busy schedules. He was transparent and was able to answer all of our questions quickly. The entire process has been so smooth and we feel comfortable knowing we made the right choice. We are so satisfied with our purchase, and look forward to using Ryan as our realtor when we decide to move/buy/sell in the future. Thanks so much, Ryan!"
Leah Flewelling
"We can not rave enough about Ryan and his team. The selling of our home was made to be smooth and extremely successful thanks to his expertise. Ryan’s calm and patience brought us comfort and reassurance through a usually very stressful experience. Ryan’s recommended strategy brought us success beyond anything we had envisioned and most importantly we knew we could trust his advice. Ryan was there to answer every (and there were many) question quickly - making us feel like a priority. I understand that choosing a realtor from so many unknowns can leave one feeling vulnerable - but choosing Ryan would be the wisest decision when selling or buying a home. Ryan is professional, knowledgeable and has genuine integrity. His ability to negotiate the best possible outcome gave us a result that blew expectations out of the park. Thank you so much Ryan, Donna and Lisa. We can’t give you enough praise."

ashley harper
"4 months ago-Ryan is one of the top real estate agent I ever met in my career. He is dedicated, eloquent, smart, hard working and a great person to do business with. In less than 36 hours he managed to sell two houses for more than a million two hundred each. This is the type of people you need around you in your business and when you sell or buy a property. Well done Ryan. Keep it up."
Bassil Jabir
"We worked with Matt Jacques and he was always available to answer our questions or reassure us, it was a great experience!"
Isabeau Welter
"My wife and I have bought and sold a number of properties with the assistance of Ryan and his Team in recent years. The most recent transaction closed on April 1, 2020. We have always been very impressed with Ryan's ability to understand our needs both as buyers and sellers. His knowledge of the local market has away benefited us. Due to work assignments, some of our transactions have taken place while we were out of the country, but Ryan's availability over email, phone or other video Apps helped make the transactions very smooth. We highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for professional assistance with real estate needs no matter if you happen to be in-town or out of town as I am sure he will go above and beyond for you as he did for us! Thanks again Ryan! Jean and Tracy"
Jean Cormier
"We were lucky enough to have Ryan Cole and his team represent us both as a buyer and a seller, 7 years apart. He stayed in touch with us during that time, providing expert advice when asked, and sharing his up-to-the-minute knowledge of the Ottawa market. The Cole Connection team did an incredible job supporting the sale of our home, from renovation advice to staging services, and we couldn't have been happier with the result. This market requires a knowledgeable insider to guide the process, and we highly recommend Ryan and his team to anyone who asks."
Scott McNamara
"Ryan and his team were AMAZING!!! Our house sold for way over list price thanks to his brilliant strategy and we truly couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much, Ryan!"

Eric Charron
"Ryan was able to help us navigate the complex market and sell our condo within 24 hours. Highly recommended. Patient, knowledgable and always has the clients best interest in mind."
Hal Zhang
"We couldn’t be happier with our sales experience with Ryan Cole. If selling a house isn’t stressful enough, we added to that by selling during the covid pandemic. Ryan answered all of our questions and listened to our concerns. The protocols he had in place to ensure the safety and well being of our family could not have been better. We felt like we were in good hands and he got the job done!"
Dana Crampton
"My family and I recently worked with Ryan Cole and would recommend his services to anyone looking to buy, sell or rent in Ottawa.

"Ryan is very knowledgeable, experienced and professional. He makes the process easy!! I would highly recommend him for a buy or a sell!!"
Sarah Drummond
"Ryan and Donna provided exceptional services. They are professional, very knowledgeable of the market. Their information is based on experience and good analytical skills, which allowed us to sell our house 1 day on the market for over asking price. Highly recommend ColeConnection."
Marion Lamothe
"I recently engaged Ryan Cole at the ColeConnection to purchase a new condo apartment and sell my old one. Ryan worked harder than I could have expected to make the buying experience seamless ensuring that I didn't pay more than I had to. He also worked tirelessly to sell my old property to a very demanding purchaser. In all, Ryan worked successfully well beyond my expectations."
Lawanda Willar
"Ryan is young, but don’t let the baby face fool you; he is experienced beyond his years and always presents as a consummate professional.
We began working with Ryan on the sale of a property and purchase of a new one after he was highly recommended to us. We proceeded to make his job about as complicated as possible at pretty much every single step. Didn’t matter. He remained calm, cool (and patient!!!) and consistently delivered.
I would recommend Ryan to anyone looking to buy and/or sell."
Brandon Crawford
"Thank you so much for finding my new home! Great services as always. Very friendly and helpful! Highly recommended. Thank you again Ryan!"
Samuel Tang
"We were initially drawn to Ryan's obvious knowledge of the local condominium market, however, we quickly came to appreciate his consistency, high quality connections (we were new to the city), and ability to carefully narrow down searches to find us the perfect property! It was honestly very seamless, enjoyable, and professional all the way through. Thanks Ryan!"

Sophie Deslauriers
"Ryan excels at client service. Whether it is a prompt response to an email question or making arrangements with inspectors or mortgage specialists, Ryan is ready to talk or meet when it’s convient for me.
Ryan’s advice is always without judgment. He is there to help and provide much needed market insight and deal-making expertise. He is professional, extremely responsive, and has great knowledge of the local real estate market."
Eric Presseau
"The process of selling/buying a home was a very pleasant experience with Ryan’s help. Ryan is very professional and knowledgeable and took the time to explain the whole process in detail to us. He was supportive throughout the whole process and went above and beyond to make sure that all our needs were met and that our concerns were addressed. He was very patient and calm even during stressful times. We will certainly be calling on him if we decide to sell/buy again and will certainly recommend him to our family and friends! Thanks so much Ryan!!"
Sophie Deslauriers
"I have bought and sold a few properties and can honestly say that my experience with Ryan Cole has stood out as the best! He is an incredibly knowledgeable and skilled realtor, and was very supportive and patient with us throughout the entire process! Not only did he sell our condo quickly in the middle of Winter, but through his skillful negotiations, also helped get us into our dream home at a great price!! We are so very happy with his services and would highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling!!!"
Erin Stafford
"Ryan was instrumental in me finding my condo. He knew what I was looking for and found me a place that fit all my wants. I never had issues getting in contact with him and he was always able to accommodate my schedule.
I would recommend him to anyone and he’ll be my first call if I need to move again"
Daniel Dybka
"We have worked with Ryan through every purchase and sale since 2009! He listened to what we were looking for and really hit the mark! Ryan makes the experience fun, relaxed and makes sure you’re comfortable with any decision you need to make. He took the time to explain the pros, cons, and what-ifs, and provided answers to my very many questions.
Thank you Ryan! Hopefully we’re not moving again anytime soon, but if we do, you’re our guy!"
Francesca Tauvette
"I found Ryan because his listings were high quality, with good photos and full details. Ryan figured out a plan to sell my place; walked me through the plan, had recommendations for people to help me and kept tabs on it. During showings he was open and direct about feedback. During the negotiations I relied on his input to get the job done. He knows his stuff and communicates it clearly."
James Atwill
"If you are looking for a committed, hardworking real estate agent then Ryan is your guy! He went above and beyond in helping us get our house ready to sell and as a result our house sold for over asking in less than a week. Ryan is a kind, knowledgeable and professional real estate agent. I would definitely recommend Ryan to all of my family and friends."
Shelley Milo
"What an experience! The efficiency and seamless transactions we experienced when buying AND selling our home with Ryan was unparalleled. His response times were alarmingly fast! We sold in one day even before finding a new home. His dedication and drive was able to source us a new home not even on market yet and we ended up buying it. Thanks so much Ryan for making what most may consider a stressful transaction, simple and enjoyable."
jeff T
"Ryan was a great real estate agent to work with! He was very helpful in finding me a condo in the low inventory Ottawa market of 2019. He was very responsive and knowledgeable."
David Piotrkowski
"Ryan Cole is certainly a great guy, very much supportive, responsive, and also patient. I may not be a typical client to the Canadian real estate market as I'm newly relocating to Canada, but Ryan has successfully helped me with many things from arranging the financing as a foreigner to proactively dealing with any relevant party on behalf of or for me during my absence in Canada. I am now happy that I've finally got the best home for my family. He is knowledgeable, but doesn't exaggerate; thoughtfully takes into account the situation where you are when he puts any suggestion/advice. I strongly recommend him if you are looking to buy or sell one."
CJ Lee
"Ryan helped us find our first home. Working with him was an absolute pleasure. He was very flexible and accommodating to our schedules. He was very knowledgeable and always had our best interest in mind. We couldn't be happier with our decision to have Ryan help us find our home."
Shayla Pierre
"We were rookies on the Ottawa housing market and Ryan Cole came highly recommended. He more than exceeded our expectations. He was moving super fast on viewing new properties with great efficiency, explained the whole process to us and guided us through, while keeping us grounded. We got the house we wanted in the neighbourhood we wanted for an amazing price. If we’re ever again on the market to buy or sell, we’d definitely want Ryan to be our realtor! He made the process fun and easy! THANK YOU!"
Jasna Pleho
"Ryan was a great agent! As a first-time homebuyer it was so helpful having someone knowledgeable guide me through the process. He really listened to what I was looking for and I felt he showed me properties reflecting that. His approach was relaxed in that I never felt pressured to jump on a property that was not the right fit. I would definitely recommend him to others."
Marie-José Blais
"Ryan was the agent representing sellers of a property recently perchased by my partner and I. Although he was not representing us directly he took the time to explain everything and guided us through the process. Ryan carried himself in a very professional manner throughout the sale process. I would recommend Ryan to anyone buying or selling a property."
Tom Nelles
"For anyone looking for an agent to help you buy a home, i would and will always recommend Ryan Cole! From day one he made sure we stayed focused and kept us on pace and never made us feel pressured.He made himself very accessible and also made sure we understood the steps we needed to take as this was our first home. Respectful, efficient and i couldn’t be more proud and happy to say Ryan Cole represented my wife and I in buying a home. He will work hard for you. Thanks Ryan!!"

Ryan sold my condo at 134 York quickly and working with him was great. He went above the call of duty every step of the way. He was patient and strategic for a sale that proved to have many complicated elements. I am pretty sure that if it weren't for Ryan, my condo would still be up for sale. I highly recommend Ryan as an agent, and especially for selling a condo in 134 York. Thanks for all of your hard and effective work, Ryan.
134 York Owner
My wife and I have purchased two properties with Ryan in recent years. We have been and remain very impressed with his professionalism and dedication. He is friendly, knowledgeable and responsive and always takes the necessary time to ensure that we understand and are comfortable with every facet of the transaction. Ryan makes buying a home a lot less stressful and we recommend him without hesitation
Derrick and Jana Milburn
From the moment we contacted you through to the sale of our home, we could not of asked for better! As we had decided to list our home in the late winter which is not ideal time, you were very positive about the home selling quickly and you were correct. This was not the first time selling a home for us and yet this was by far the best experience one could ask for.
Thank you so much for making this a memory that will stand out for us. We appreciate all you have done for us and would recommend you to family and friends going forward as we are certain that they will have a similar experience as we did. If we ever go to sell again we will be sure to contact you.
Again, thank you for everything and we wish you all the best!
Tania McCumber
I am writing this letter to you today to advise you of the service that we received from one of your Real Estate agents Ryan Cole. This has been my third time working Ryan over the course of the last 10 years and by far this last interaction has been the best that I have experienced so far. To add some context to why I am taking the time to write this letter today, Ryan has helped me through a difficult experience of selling a home I owned during the breakdown of a marriage. Normally I would imagine that having to navigate these waters is difficult for a Real Estate agent but Ryan acted with the upmost professionalism and objectivity that one would expect in this scenario. Ryan also was responsible for brokering the purchase of my first home so he has been a part of my life for two very big occasions. Fast forward to 2014, I am with a new partner and we have decided to take the next step in our lives and establish a long term residence. I did not hesitate to contact Ryan given the last two interactions with him and I can honestly say that it was the best decision that I made when it came to purchasing another home for the third time. Ryan again was professional and his expertise in the Ottawa market really came through. It was only a short 2 months before Ryan had found the perfect property for us. I know that in the world of Real Estate agents are forced to balance their time between both sellers and buyers and their client list can be very long and demanding but never at any point did I feel like we were not a priority. In fact I would have to say that Ryan made us feel like we were the most important clients on his list. If the service he provided us is the same he provides to all of his clients I would argue to tell you that he is one of the best Real Estate agents in your organization. Ryan possesses an ability to make people feel comfortable, to gain their trust quickly and somehow in a short period of time understand 100% of your needs and your wants. Ryan literally found us the PERFECT home, and there were many to chose from! Royal Legape and Ryan Cole have clients for life in Jennifer and I and at any chance that I get to refer business to him I will. In this day and age where good people in are a dime a dozen I can tell you that you have one working and representing you well. I would not hesitate and plan to use Ryan for all of my Real Estate needs in the future and with many of our friends and family on the verge of Real Estate ventures you can trust that we will recommend that Ryan represent all of them. I hope that these words find their way to the most senior executives at Royal Lepage and that Ryan is publicly recognized within your organization."
Jeff C.
"OMG We bought a house!!! LOL I keep saying that. Sometimes it seems so surreal that our dreams are coming true. Thank you for being a large part of that. It would have never been as easy as it was without you. Thank you for your unlimited advice and expertise. It is one thing to have someone advocate for you, but it adds a whole other element when you trust that person to look out for your best interests. I thank you so much for taking it that one step further. I appreciate your patience with me as a first time home buyer you really helped calm my concerns and fears and made it so much fun.”
Jenn G.
"We recently worked with Ryan Cole to sell our current house and purchase a new home, all within a short 3 weeks! We planned to interview a number of different realtors but after meeting with Ryan we knew we needed to look no further. Ryan came prepared with useful, relevant and specific information and made us feel completely comfortable. From that point on he was always accessible and was nothing but professional. He patiently brought us to several showings, offering thoughtful, pressure-free advice. Donna Cole was also an excellent resource and her staging advice added to the quick sale of our home. Without hesitation, we would recommend the Cole Connection to anyone we know looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you Ryan and Donna for making this process enjoyable and stress-free, we can't wait to move into our new home!"
Derek, Megan and Jackson Cosgrove
"We have been so pleased with your support, guidance and attention to detail over the past several months. Buying a home can be a trying experience, particularly when dealing with specific wants within a limited budget. We extend big thanks to Ryan Cole and his team. What we appreciate most is your understanding of our needs and the professionalism you exhibited throughout the process. Thank you again for all you have done to help us find our perfect home."
Anita Kuipers and Ron de Sousa
"Dear Ryan, I just wanted to say thank you for your considerable time and help during the purchase and sale of our houses. We were not sure we even wanted to move, but with your patience and knowledge of the market, we found the perfect house. It was a whirlwind experience, but with your guidance and help we managed to purchase and sell an house in less than a month. We took all of your suggestions for staging our house, and it certainly paid off. Our house sold in 3 days, even before it hit the MLS site, for the asking price (the most our model of townhouse had ever sold for). WOW! I still cannot believe it was that fast and painless. We bought our first house from Bob 8 years ago, you are an amazing chip off the block. We will definitely recommend you to any of our friends looking to move or sell. Your team is amazing! Thanks for all the hard work and dedication."
The Michaud's
"I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your expertise, cooperation and patience. This was a pleasure doing business with you and rest assured that I will recommend Ryan Cole to my relatives and friends."
Andre Parent
"Thank you so much for helping us find the perfect home. Andre and I are enjoying every minute here. We appreciated your enthusiasm, good humour, attention to detail and helpful nature. We consider ourselves lucky to have found you while visiting an open house! Once again, thank you!"
Francine Tees
"Ryan, we want to say that we are SO happy with the house we have found! You had provided us with great service, really went above & beyond for us & we really appreciate that! We would recommend your service to anyone & everyone. Thanks so much for helping us find our new home!"
Tanya & Alain
"Ryan, just a quick note to say thank you very much for your time and considerable effort in helping us find a home in Ottawa. Your genuine nature and sense of humour made the process enjoyable and we won't hesitate to use your services in the future or to recommend you to our family and friends!"
The Hutchinson's
"Purchasing your first home can be an overwhelming experience. Ryan made our experience as stress free as possible and was always there to answer any questions we had. From the beginning, Ryan was attentive to our needs and wants in a home and played a key role in guiding us towards what would truly suit us and our situation. He presented us with various options and helped us to realize the features of a home that we would truly be happy with. Even months after, when we required assistance Ryan was there to help us out. Thank you Ryan, we will definitely be spreading the word about your outstanding service!!!"
Jessica Demers and Stephen Meating
"We will not hesitate to recommend you to any of our friends in the future. You and Ryan made a good team."
Anne and Bruce Belliveau
“I had the pleasure of employing Ryan when I came out to Ottawa 2 years ago in order to purchase a home. Once he was aware of my requirements and desires, he was superbly prepared for my arrival. His team presented a highly accurate market evaluation of Ottawa Real Estate, had print outs of all the houses that he felt fell within my criteria at the ready and he was able to discuss their attributes and faults at length. While looking at the myriad of homes available, he provided sage guidance and insight into some of the pitfalls and many of the brighter merits of owing a house in Ottawa. He was very familiar with all the areas of the city and surroundings that we looked in and as the days progressed recommended Orleans as an excellent place to live. On that advice we looked and quickly found a very comfortable home for myself and family. In a word, he was a superlative representative on my behalf! Being extremely pleased with the purchasing side of the house market, Ryan was recently called upon again, this time to sell my house. Ryan and team provided excellent service and outstanding advice in getting ready for the sale. He provided a seasoned and learned market evaluation that led to a reasonable price to initially start with. I would have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised when the house sold in less than 9 days and at a very fair price, higher than I really expected! To accomplish this, Ryan had listed the house on MLS as well as on his excellent website and was preparing to hold open houses as necessary to get traffic through the house. I suspect that he may have bent some ears on the phone, to ensure that they were aware of the listing, because there were always scheduled showings daily. Potential purchasers were scheduled by the Royal Lepage office, who were always courteous and responded positively to my eclectic needs (read 4 dogs).
If anyone is looking for a true Real Estate professional, who is ethical, bright, outgoing and above all, not pushy!, and will definitely work extremely hard to assist you into the house that meets your criteria and dreams, then Ryan Cole and his team should be first on your list to contact. If I ever get a chance to return to Ottawa, he'll definitely hear from me!”
Jim Morrow
I had a great experience with the Cole Connection Team. Ryan was very professional, knowledgeable, and punctual. Even though the price range I was looking in was on the lower end, he was always available on short notice and quick to act when necessary. I would definitely recommend Ryan, and would work with him again if I buy another house in Ottawa.
Dalia Sherif
"My wife Amy and I had a chance to work with Ryan for our first ever home purchase several years ago. Knowing that we were new to the market Ryan was amazing at going over every aspect of the buying process, making sure we were comfortable and confident in what we were doing. It was great to have an agent that listened to what it was we were looking for and worked hard at finding options that we right for us. With Ryan’s help we were able to find the perfect spot for us and we didn’t look back. The follow up service after the purchase was great. Ryan made regular contact with us and always was checking in to see how things were going. Four years later when it was time to sell and move on to bigger and better things we did not hesitate to call Ryan right away. We were a little bit nervous being first time sellers but with Ryan and Donna's help our condo was listed and sold in a week. It was really amazing and I would recommend the Cole family to anyone looking for an agent. Thank you both for making our home buying and selling experience a great one!!"
Rob and Amy Cliff
"Working with Ryan was nothing less than an exciting experience. Ryan spoke with me and understood what I was looking for and he made it happen. Ryan selected properties that sparked my interested, viewed them with me and gave me tips and ideas that would benefit my purchase. With the limited amount of time I had to work with, Ryan was very professional and assured all deadlines were met. With Ryan’s accuracy, I was able to make a secure and comfortable purchase. If you are looking to buy or sell a home – you should not do it without consulting Ryan first!"
Jason Yardon
"Working with Ryan for our home purchase was a pleasure from start to finish. As relative strangers to Ottawa, we were home-shopping from a different city and needed to locate something in a matter of weeks. Ryan had a unique aptitude for turning vague preferences like "character," "peaceful" and "convenient" into concrete search criteria that could deliver homes that aligned with our interests. He was able to glean our specific criteria during a few short conversations over the phone, creatively suggesting options that we had not considered ourselves. He used that information to narrow our search down during our few short trips to Ottawa, helping us to avoid wasting time viewing properties that were sure to be a poor fit. Once we met in person, Ryan took the time to familiarize us with the different neighborhoods and discuss our needs further to streamline the process. From there, the process took off, with Ryan quickly honing down the search until we landed on our ideal home. We had to act quickly, and Ryan orchestrated the showing and offer in such a way that we were under agreement in a matter of days. The entire process, from initial phone call to signed offer on our dream house, took only three weeks. Ryan delivered so far beyond our expectations that we would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. In fact, in this market you would probably be at a disadvantage using another agent. Every real estate agent must have intimate knowledge of their home territory, but it is rare when an agent also has the ability to quickly and accurately understand their clients' needs and put that knowledge into action. Thanks again, Ryan!"
