Real Estate Agent

Ryan Holmes

I help young buyers, growing families, and sellers navigate South Ottawa and the surrounding rural communities with confidence. With a BCOMM in real estate and housing, nine years of cross-asset experience, and deep roots in the communities I serve, I bring insight that goes beyond the typical residential transaction.

From understanding land, zoning, and development trends to knowing the character of local communities like Greely, Metcalfe, Osgoode, Russell, Kemptville, and beyond, I help my clients make informed decisions with clarity and care. My approach is honest, approachable, and strategy-driven, with a focus on helping people find the right place, make the right move, and feel supported every step of the way.

Your Local Advantage

Buying or selling in South Ottawa isn’t the same as anywhere else and who you work with matters.
Most of my clients are either:

Buying their first home in the community they grew up in
moving up into something with more space, land, and long-term potential
or leaving the city for the privacy, acreage, and tranquilness of the country.

Either way, the goal is the same, make the right move with confidence.

📍 I Actually Live Here
I'm not driving out from the city to show you a listing. I live in Metcalfe, I'm involved in the community, and I know these areas the way you only can when you're actually part of them. What's shifting in Greely. What to pay attention to in Osgoode. What new development is happening in Russell. That kind of knowledge doesn't come from a search filter.

📊 Straight Talk, Always
I'll tell you what a home is worth, what to watch out for, and what your next step should be. No pressure, no confusion, no runaround. Just honest answers so you can make a decision you'll feel confident about.
🌱 The Full Picture, Not Just the House
A lot of agents help you buy a home. I help you understand what you're actually getting. The current and future potential value, well & septic systems, the land/zoning, the local drawbacks or benefits, the things that look fine on paper but end up mattering a lot down the road. That's usually the part people wish someone had told them sooner.
🤝 Here for the Long Haul
Most of the people I work with come back. For the next purchase, the next sale, or just to talk something through before making a decision. I'm not here to close a deal and move on. I keep in touch with many of my past and future clients, running into them while out and about or at local events or for brunch!
