RYAN DUTKA

A Word From Our Valued Clients... 


"Great service, knowledgeable, good listener, didn't waste our time.  Actually we were going to buy 3 months later, not in the 24 hours we did.  Allison helped us to meet our needs.  Many thanks to Allison.  Second house we've purchased through the Dutka group."

Being our first time buying I was expecting a stressful and frustrating experience but with Allison explaining everything to us thoroughly we were both relieved and thankful! We are now settled in our new home all thanks to Allison. We sincerely hope to do business with Allison again!"
-Jessica Dodds & Patrick Nybakken, October 2011

Our experience (selling our home) with Ryan Dutka and his team was phenomenal. The team is efficient, friendly, honest and hard working. The best experience we’ve had is with Ryan Dutka and his team!”
- The Bradys, August 2011

“Thank you Ryan Dutka and team for all your professionalism, hard work and dedication. Prompt service is an understatement, our house sold after only 3 days on market! We greatly appreciated Ryan’s marketing strategy – he treated our home like a product of value. We liked that our listing had great exposure on many of today’s modern media outlets. The photos of our home were gorgeous; defiantly helped to increase interest in our property. We were included in the ‘team’, always kept in constant contact with team members, we liked the feedback on showings. The process was smooth and virtually stress free. With the sale of our home so quick, we then had plenty of time to shop for our dream home!

A tremendous thank you goes to Stephen Leddy – he made the process of buying our next home fun. We were always in the ‘driver’s seat’, Stephen was very patient to see our vision come true. We appreciated all of his time and effort - we looked at many, many homes. Once we found our dream home he negotiated a fair price. Though just doing his job, his commitment did not go unnoticed. We would recommend the Ryan Dutka Real Estate Team to anyone looking for their own happily ever after. Thanks!”
- Jenilee & Jeff Garniss, August 2011

“Working with Allison was great! Based on our searches and showings the previous year, she had a great handle on what my expectations were in relation to budget and required features of my new home. Allison was fantastic to work with. I had no issues putting all my trust in her. Thanks!”
- Natalie Robinson, July 2011

“Ryan and his team made it happen! They sold our house and got us everything we were hoping for. Ryan made sure to check in with us and update us on the process. He listened to our concerns and always had a solution. He made the selling process a smooth undertaking and we were very happy with the results. Thank you for your time, service and expertise. I’m already telling my friends about Ryan and his team!

Allison went out of her way to meet my needs! She’s extremely knowledgeable and was very patient with me! Buying a house can be a very daunting process and she narrowed in on the item I needed to consider. She helped me take care of all the little details and eased my mind about the process. When I was having doubts, I cold contact her and we worked through my questions together! Allison really listened to me and made the process so much easier. I will recommend Allison and the Ryan Dutka Real Estate Team to all my friends!”
- Tahneen Toope, July 2011

- Blaine Pomeroy, July 2011

If that is any indication of Ryan’s efforts, we were defiantly in good hands! As well, we had a great time working with Allison McDougall. Although we ended up going with a builder, she never gave up and always kept us in high spirits! Thanks so much for everything.”

“Our experience with the Ryan Dutka Real Estate Team and Allison McDougall was wonderful. They were all very professional, knowledgeable, experienced and friendly.

From that moment on we were so excited and couldn’t wait till the home was ours. Thank you all!”
- Belinda DeCap, May 2011

“I have to say first off that the experience was amazing! Selling our parents house and purchasing a new one in such a short amount of time would have been stressful if it wasn’t for you guys! We always felt like we were friends, not just clients. I didn’t think that would be so important, but it really was. The amount of time and effort was greatly appreciated, and so glad you guys didn’t make it seem like work! Finding genuinely friendly and talented people to help sell our place and buy our new home was a wonderful surprise! I hope all your clients feel as thankful as us, because you deserve great big thanks from us!”
- Natasha & Giselle Warrington, May 2011

“Team Dutka and in particular Allison McDougall was a pleasure to have working for us. Allison showed us that there are still places in this world that believe in paying it forward. Words to describe the Dutka Team are hard working, on time, every attention to detail, good listener and a pleasure to be with.”
- John & Wilma Kristiansen, May 2011

“Ryan and his team provided professional service during the sale of the condo. For me professional means their service was prompt, communication was timely (loved knowing how many showings each week) and their follow up was especially important, given the number of documents that are required in a condo sale. Thank you for making it seem easy!”
- Barb Reimer, May 2011

"Firstly, I would like to thank Allison for being so diligent at all aspects of her job. As a first time home buyer, I had a lot of questions and she knew all the answers. She also prevented me from making not so wise choices, as I am a very impulsive person. I always felt that she had my family’s best interest at heart. I would definitely refer her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell their home. Thanks again Allison! Keep up the great work."

- Dan Willems, February 2011

"As a first time buyer, I was fortunate to find a realtor that was willing to explain the process.

She asked the right questions, and we were able to find the condo that fit my wants and needs. Thank you Allison for assisting me with my home purchase!"
- Vanessa Richards, February 2011

"The experience we had with the Ryan Dutka Team was amazing! Very smooth, on the ball, before we had time to ask questions they were already answered! Very professional!"
- The Kailas, January 2011

"Once again, Ryan and his team provided us with excellent service. Ryan had sold our home 3 years ago and so when we found ourselves moving again it was a no brainer! We truly thank Ryan for his professional yet casual and friendly way in doing business. He was very accomodating and great with our kids! Thanks so much Ryan, best regards to your entire team."


"We began our real estate experience debating if we should sell our home ourselves or use an agent. We spoke with some friends that were trying to sell their home themselves and they were having nothing but problems with the experience. We decided to hire a real estate agent. Ryan brought us hope that we could sell our house before our new home was built. Ryan demonstrated confidence and made us very comfortable. We appreciated Ryan's professionalism and we knew he was the right agent to sell our home. To our surprise Ryan sold our home in 7 days in a slow market! Even more impressive was that Ryan sold our home for the price we wanted! We would recommend Ryan Dutka and his team to everyone! In fact, we have become raving fans of Ryan and look forward to using his services in the future. In a time where great customer service rarely exists, Ryan and his team demonstrated service we have never experienced before! We do not just consider Ryan our real estate agent, but also our friend who really helped us through this stressful time. Thank you Ryan and team!" 
- Jared & Vanessa Hagen, December 2010

"Thank you to the Ryan Dutka Team for the outstanding job that you did in helping me find my first home. Allison made the home buying process stress free and enjoyable. Thank you for the patience and advice during the process of finding a place for me. You helped me a lot. I will surely recommend you to any future home buyers I know. Thanks a lot!"
- Grace Nicer, December 2010

"Allison was amazing! She took so much time to show us all the houses we wanted to see. She made us feel very welcomed. We would totally recommend her and use her again!"
- Shantelle Orpen, December 2010

"Our first impression of the Ryan Dutka Team was that of professionalism and by the closing of our home sale and purchase our expectations were exceeded. Everything about the listing process was explained clearly and all of our questions were answered. We never felt rushed. Ryan gave us tips on how to keep our condo in top condition for showings and was flexible when scheduling showings. We were very impressed at how quickly our property sold.  When it came to looking for a new home, Allison seemed to know our tastes exactly! She went above and beyond when negotiating our offer and when the sale was finalized she provided us with contacts for all the services we would need. Allison also paid for our dinner on moving day, which was very unexpected! Since closing the deal, the Ryan Dutka Team has followed up with us about our satisfaction with both our new house and about our experience in general. We will use the Ryan Dutka Team again and will continue to recommend them to family and friends!"
- The Peters, October 2010

"Our first impression of Allison McDougall was very strong. Her positive attitude, affable nature and excellent background in the area we were selling in, easily allowed her to measure up to the other two experienced realtors we interviewed. From the outset she inspired confidence, correctly giving us every reason to believe that a sale would come quickly. Michelle's twice weekly updates were reliable and sufficiently detailed. The whole team was, in fact, congenial and thoroughly professional. Our experience in short was very satisfying."
- Steve & Judy Pezim, October 2010

- Rian & April Dickson, October 2010

"Allison was an absolutely fabulous realtor! She took her time in finding us the perfect home. Her dedication to her profession showed. She seemed to really care about me and my son's needs and researched the perfect areas in our "new city!" She was lovely to work with. Allison was a dream to work with and I'd recommend her to anyone looking to buy their next home!"
- Tanya Buck, October 2010

"Our experience was exceptional. Despite a very short time line, Allison was well prepared, knowledgable and fun to be with. She was not phased by our changing demands or by our desire to find just the right property. And when it came to presenting our case to the seller, she went all out! All in all a great experience. We will not hesitate to use the Ryan Dutka Team, and especially Allison, when we sell in 18-36 months! We love our home! Many thanks!"
- Chuck & Michelle Staples, October 2010

"We came to The Ryan Dutka Team by referral from family and it's no wonder why! Ryan provided knowledgeable and professional service that resulted in the quick sale of our home. We were very appreciative of his support and assistance in the negotiation process and we believe his steady and tactful approach assisted in selling our home for 98% of our asking price! We were thrilled!  We also purchased a home through Ryan and his team. Our buying specialist was Allison McDougall. She was a pleasure to deal with for multiple reasons. She listens-she listened to what we wanted and didn't want in a home. Secondly, she was patient and dedicated. Thirdly, she acts-we now live in a home that Allison found and encouraged us to view!"
- A. Goodale, September 2010

"We had Ryan Dutka recommended to us by a past client of his. That client told us they hired Ryan simply because he was the best. So when we decided to sell, we too called Ryan. Ryan got our place listed and within two weeks we had an offer. Our place was sold in less than three weeks! Everyone we met on Ryan's team were very professional and pleasant to deal with. We were updated every week as promised. We would recommend Ryan and his team to anyone! Great job everyone and thank you."

- Larry & Debbie Dunham, August 2010

"I have been very satisfied with the service provided by the Ryan Dutka Team. Very consistent, high attention to detail, excellent closing skills demonstated.

"Ryan is a very pleasant agent with a good business plan. It's nice when a real estate agent acknowledges the sale beyond the commission. We definitely would highly recommend Ryan to all our friends and family!"
- Linda Olsen, May 2010

"From the outset my husband and I were both very impressed with Ryan's professionalism. The very fact he was dressed in a manner that indicated respect for his clients meant a lot to us. In setting a sale price for the property, Ryan was very realistic. He had done his research on the price range my property would command and as a result a sale was consummated very quickly. Ryan was extremely efficent in keeping us informed of the proceedings, and communicated very well. May we take this opportunity to recommend Ryan Dutka for buying and selling our properties!"
- Lil Yewchuk & Ted Holtby, April 2010

"Our first experience was with a realtor who did nothing for 3 months. The Ryan Dutka Team was recommended to us, and what a difference!

Ryan did what he said he would in a very professional manner. We would recommend Ryan Dutka and his team to anyone!"
- Bill & Susan Gilchrist, October 2009
