About Me
Ryan is a native of the Gull Lake community in southwest Michigan. He has a strong passion for the outdoors and enjoys a wide range of recreational activities. His ambitions for the outdoors led him west, where he graduated from Colorado State University, with a degree in Commercial Recreation & Tourism. Ryan started his career at US Lots.com, a national internet based marketing firm, where he was responsible for developing national relationships for selling lots and land. Later, Ryan moved back to Michigan and co-founded Yankee Appraisal Associates. He is an active appraiser of real property, specializing in suburban and rural land, with an emphasis in partial interest type appraisals for local units of government, government agencies, private landowners and conservation groups. Ryan’s knowledge and passion for land makes him a natural fit with Michigan Lifestyle Properties. He works throughout west Michigan with buyers and sellers of a variety of land types, farms and country estates. His extensive appraisal background provides enormous value to his clients. Ryan and his family live on Gull Lake, in Hickory Corners.
What People Are Saying
“Ryan Johnson’s skill set and services go well beyond the conventional understanding of residential real estate transactions. In a crowded field, RJ stands out in a number of important respects—he is creative in deal structuring, attentive to detail, and exceptionally strategic and tactical in negotiations. Of particular significance, he is the most data driven realtor with whom I’ve ever worked, drawing on years of experience as an appraiser. I wholeheartedly recommend him.”
