A little bit about Ryan
I’m a Mortgage Banker with more than 12 years of experience in the mortgage banking industry, and I’ve had the privilege of originating more than $750 million in loan volume. I’ve been honored to rank among the Top 1% of mortgage bankers in America for several consecutive years and have been recognized as a top loan originator in the U.S. by the Scotsman Guide. I’m also proud to be a perennial member of both the President’s Club and Chairman’s Circle.
I bring extensive experience across all residential loan types and have also specialized in non-traditional loans, including renovation financing and condotel loans. I firmly believe that deep product knowledge, sincere respect for my clients and partners, and an unwavering commitment to delivering on my promises are what set my service apart. One of the things I’m most proud of is helping first-time homebuyers successfully navigate the home-shopping and loan process.
I’m licensed to serve clients in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio, North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, Texas, Arizona, California, Washington, and Colorado.
Whether you’re buying or refinancing, purchasing your first home, or building your dream home, I’d love to explore your financing options with you. You’re invited to apply online or contact me directly to set up an appointment—either way, you’ll receive my immediate and personal attention.

Ryan was amazing to work with. He provided tons of information and answered any question we had, whenever they came up. He was easy to get in contact with and was available to chat at all hours of the day. Often times he would break down complex financial information so that it would be easier to take action or make decisions. Would recommend to anyone looking for a mortgage, especially in this unstable climate!
Keely and Ryan kept us on-schedule and were efficient and timely in their communication. Great coordination, efficiency, and communication through the entire closing process.

Ryan helped explain ALL my options even when I considered having him run my credit again as we got closer to my closing date.

Ryan I have to hand it to him? he has to be one of the most diligently communicative professionals I?ve ever worked with. Buying a home in this market can be so complicated, but he kept me updated at the drop of a hat whenever I had concerns.
I am so grateful for the effort he put in to keep us informed and confident while navigating this major milestone. I will be happy to share my positive experience to help encourage others to get in touch with you.
Thank you again for everything.
Smooth transaction, good communication, great rate.

The team made the process very easy, kept us informed, and got a great rate.
Ryan was so approachable, so friendly, knowledgeable, upfront and providing practical advice on all matters. This was my first time going through the Home purchase and lending process and that too of closing within a month, both Ryan and John from his team were very prompt and thorough on all matters, they took care of the entire 9 yards of the lending process in a matter of weeks, gave a positive nudge where I had to act, and I must say this couldn't have got any more convenient and easy for me. And I am so very Happy for my RedFin Agent Monica McCarthy who gave me the reference of Ryan, that was indeed the best referral. Great Job Team Bay Equity!!

Ryan is extremely knowledgeable and approachable with questions. We also had an unexpected issue with our process and rather than only alerting me of the issue, he came prepared with a solution in mind and was able to still meet the deadline we had set for closing.
