Meet Ryan and Paul

A negotiator who studied psychology and a strategist with a construction background, working every file together for one commission.

Two competitors who stopped competing

Ryan and Paul spent years on opposite sides of the same deals before it occurred to either of them that the arrangement made no sense.

  • Agents on every file2
  • Commissions you pay1

They met the way agents in a small market always meet: across a table, representing opposite ends of the same transaction. Ryan had come to real estate from psychology, and read the negotiation as a conversation between two people rather than a contest between two numbers. Paul had come from construction, and walked every property seeing what it could become: the renovation, the addition, the better use of the land. Each of them kept noticing the other was good at the half of the job they found hardest.

The obvious move was to keep competing. The better one was to stop. Between them they had the two skills that decide most of what a client walks away with, so they put their businesses together and priced the pair at what either of them used to charge alone. Every file since has had both of them on it, which is the entire pitch and the entire point.

What that buys you is unglamorous and specific. A showing that never waits on one person's calendar. Two reads on every offer before you answer it. Somebody who can tell you what the buyer across the table is actually worried about, and somebody who can see what the property could become.

REALTOR, co founder The negotiator

Ryan Featherstone

Ryan grew up in Ingersoll, studied psychology at Western, and now calls Port Stanley home. That psychology background is not a fun fact, it is his edge.

Reading a room, reading a buyer, and reading the counter offer behind the counter offer is what he does at every negotiating table. He built his business on a simple promise he calls the White Glove Experience: full service, meticulous execution, and a fee structure designed to keep more money in his clients' pockets.

From lakefront retreats and vacation rentals to multi unit investments and properties with, let us say, character, Ryan loves a good puzzle. And yes, he always picks up the phone. Do not be afraid to call. Just be ready for a dad joke.

“Every offer tells a story. Read it carefully.”

Paul Sadler

REALTOR, co founder The strategist

Paul Sadler

Paul is the strategist. His construction background gives him a practical understanding of job sites, development intricacies and land use.

He sees beyond what exists today, recognizing opportunities for renovation, redevelopment and added value. By aligning those possibilities with each client’s goals, Paul develops a strategy for harvesting a property’s highest and best use, helping clients unlock hidden equity and tap into opportunities they may never have imagined existed.

“The best deal is the one that closes clean.”
