About Ryan Cox

Ryan grew up in the Pacific Northwest and has always loved everything about real estate, from early-stage land and property development to devising seller marketing and top-dollar listing strategies, negotiating the best price, and handing over keys to buyers as they cross the threshold of their new home.
 
After several years in the dot-com and tech spaces, Ryan became a founding partner in Creative Real Estate Endeavors, an investment start-up specializing in purchasing luxury rental properties. Ryan made a successful exit and decided to study real estate law and sales practices at Bellevue College and launched his practice in 2005. Business and acquisition grew rapidly until the great financial crisis of 2008.
 
The life, business, and market lessons he learned between 2008–2009 were invaluable. Through the economic crisis, Ryan learned about resilience, doing whatever it takes, and, of course, the ups and downs of market cycles. Ryan became a student of history and began to understand what economic triggers caused the housing collapse. This time contributed to his big-picture perspective, his desire to understand what made the financial and real estate markets tick, and his understanding of how he could position himself and his clients to build, buy, and sell real estate smarter.

 

Ryan is a certified project manager and works as a quality program management professional. He applies his corporate leadership experience to ensure all seller and buyer transactions are managed to a smooth and successful close.

 

Ryan works nights and weekends with Heather to manage daily operations at Cox Family Real Estate. Whether it’s a real estate negotiation or any of his outdoor hobbies like hiking, biking, snowboarding, or running, Ryan is driven by life's adventures and the desire to grow personally, make progress professionally, and most of all, win for his clients.
