About Ryan Platzke
Growing up in a small town, your word and reputation are everything," says Ryan Platzke. For him, property has always been his honest passion. After graduating first in his class at Ferris State University with a degree in Real Estate Sales and Marketing, Ryan dove headfirst into the industry and took on a role at Coldwell Banker Burnet's Eden Prairie office in 2002. Nearly 20 years later, the rest is history. As owner of the #1 Coldwell Banker(R) team in Minnesota, Ryan has earned a host of accolades over the years and is currently ranked in the top 1% in the area's total marketplace with over $1 billion in sales volume. Ryan's team has also been honored with the International Society of Excellence designation, representing the top 1% of all Coldwell Banker teams nationwide. What else sets Ryan apart from the average agent? His tech-savvy approach to real estate brings measurable results for his clients, an absolute must in today's booming market. Ryan's focus on local expertise and client-first service means his style is comprehensive, results-driven, and relatable. When partnering with buyers and sellers, he never loses sight of the people at the heart of every transaction. "I've built my business on the Golden Rule, treating others as I'd want to be treated," he says. "I do what's best for my clients, streamlining the process to ensure a stress-free buying or selling experience. I'm committed to our team remaining at the pinnacle of the industry. We go the extra mile, do the right thing, and we always deliver on our promises." Beyond his personalized approach, Ryan also offers over two decades of first-hand real estate experience. As he helps clients navigate the waters of home ownership, he leverages an insider's wisdom and insight that few agents can match. Ryan makes an effort to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to housing trends and fluctuations, anticipating the unknown and heading off any issues before they arise. With an elite, top-ranking track record that extends over two decades, Ryan has carved out an impactful, positive legacy in the greater Twin Cities real estate scene - and the best is still to come: "I live in and love this area, and I also love its people. As old-fashioned as it may sound, I still think of myself as a 'smile and handshake' guy. My word really is my bond, and I have built my reputation on that."

FAQS
1) What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Right now in our current market homes are selling very quickly, in some circumstances they are sold prior to MLS or hitting sites like Zillow, Trulia, or Realtor.com. As a buyer you need to align yourself with an agent that has local knowledge and can get you in front of these properties first. You also need to make sure this agent is seasoned and understands everything from contract to close to guide you through this process so you don't get stuck in a bad situation.
2) What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
Very Important, this decision can cost you $10's of thousands! You need to align yourself with a strong listing agent, what are they doing for you as a seller to market your home, and how successful has this agent been in the past.
3) What types of clients have you worked with?
Local Buyers/Sellers
Relocation
Investors
First Time Home Buyers
4) Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
I've got multiple examples in where a home was listed on the market for more than 1+ years with another agent/broker that never sold. We then get the call and with our very unique customized marketing process we get these homes sold in less than 30 days, sometimes we even get them sold the first week!
5) How did you get started in Real Estate?
My neighbor growing up across the street had his own brokerage, I took an interest in what he did, went to college for it and obtained by Bachelor's Degree in Real Estate Sales & Marketing and here I am today!
