Ryan leads Childress Klein’s Brokerage Services team as Division Partner and Director, representing tenants and buyers across the Charlotte region and beyond.

Ryan sits on the client’s side of the table from the first conversation to the signed deal. He starts by learning how a business works and where it’s headed, then surveys the market, tours options and weighs the economics of each proposal. From there he negotiates the terms, whether the client needs a new lease, a renewal, an expansion, a relocation or a purchase. His knowledge of the local market helps clients spot opportunities, avoid costly mistakes and land in the right space.

Ryan has completed more than 200 transactions totaling over $160 million. His clients range from local firms and organizations such as Blumenthal Performing Arts to multimarket companies such as Wantman Group and IntraPac International, with office and industrial requirements from under 10,000 to 190,000 square feet.

Ryan joined CK in 2015 after four years as business development director for the Regulatory Compliance Group at Computer Services Inc. A University of Kentucky graduate, he is a licensed real estate broker in North and South Carolina and serves on the board of the Charlotte Regional Commercial Board of Realtors, where he chairs the Membership and Leadership Class committees.
