VIgnette Ryan Cote

Not quite the Alafaya River, Ryan was born at the Women's Center in Tampa, Florida. There is a connection to Kristie Brennan; they are siblings. Both love incredible food, the mountains, and life in Western North Carolina.

 

Ryan is no stranger to crises. He worked as a Critical Care RN for eight years in major metro areas spanning coast to coast. Early in his career, his ability to think and act under pressure in life-or-death situations prepared him for the Real Estate Industry.

 

Ryan's communication and empathy skills with patients were an asset to him. These skills helped Ryan with the practice of medicine and advanced his relationship with a young lady named Theresa. Soon, they became engaged and began contemplating the rest of their lives, including raising their daughter, Grace. Understanding the success Kristie had experienced in the mountains of Western North Carolina, he sought her advice. Her words were simple: liquidate everything, move to the mountains, and join Vignette.

 

In any conversation, someone is either selling or buying, and in this conversation, both happened. Kristie sold Ryan on Vignette. Ryan's tendency to thrive in rural areas and his love of nature made him a perfect fit for living in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Within a few days, never having stepped foot into the state, Ryan bought a home sight unseen and began planning the move.

 

Ryan obtained his real estate license and began working with the firm in early 2023. He immediately became a star player. His ability to understand our client's needs and goals was paramount to his success. Learning how to deal with critical care issues in some of the largest hospitals in the country led Ryan to slice through to a client's true vision and his keen understanding of the market and the pockets of available inventory. His demeanor is calm, his negotiation skills are sharp, and he loves his clients, a reflection of the relationships he has built over his short time in North Carolina.

 

Ryan is excellent at finding the perfect fit. Rather than using a shotgun to drag his clients through the mountains, his keen listening and observation skills allow him to narrow the search down to the one or two homes a client might be interested in. This respect for his client's time provides the edge people need to jump on the right deal at the right time and price. This approach is a testament to Vignette Realty's commitment to providing personalized and efficient service to our clients.

 

Listing homes to Ryan is a talent developed by his understanding of what people seek. When listing a client's house, he listens but sees the potential in properties his prior customers had an eye for. People who often list their homes are blind to the issues and the qualities because they have lived in the home for so long that they become insulated. Ryan's positive outlook is apparent in his marketing work, which is designed explicitly for each client's goals.

 

Ryan's family has grown, and now Teresa and Ryan have a new baby boy born in November 2023. They have a beautiful home and enjoy every ounce of North Carolina's beauty. Teresa has taken on the challenge of keeping the children in the right direction. Their daughter Grace is blooming into a beautiful, intelligent young lady.
