Anna Ryder - Testimonials

Tell Us Your Story

We are first time home buyers, so the process and everything involved was completely new to us.

Anna made the process very easy for us! She was a tremendous help every step of the way. From answering random questions, to always being available to providing open and honest advisement. We knew she had our best interest in mind and we had a great sense of trust in Anna. She made us feel like we were her only clients and we enjoyed working with her. We highly recommend Anna for anyone looking to buy a home.

Anna has been SO GREAT helping us sell our home.

Not only were we buying and selling a house, but we also had a baby smack dab in the middle of it all. Anna got this house sold ASAP . At closing, I realized I left my phone and wallet at home and she personally went and got it for me as I wrangled two children at closing! Just a small example of her going above and beyond! Highly recommend her!!!

Marissa Wilson

What can I say?

Anna is the BEST! We bought a house and had to sell our townhome in Atlanta at the same time. She even helped me clean up our house going on the market for our photos! She always goes above and beyond. We still bug her for contractor recommendations and she is always responsive and willing to help us! The house we bought had two other offers and somehow with her magic she made it happen! The list goes on and on. I highly recommend Anna Ryder! :) Thank you for making buying and selling a home a breeze!

Anna helped us with the sale of a home we had lived in for thirty-six years.

She was very patient with us going through the whole process and with the extremely long time it took us to get moved out of the house. She was very supportive and flexible. Her help made a painful process bearable and even comfortable. Anna is an exceptional real estate professional and we recommend her to anyone.

We have worked with Anna now FIVE times in buying and selling our homes in Smyrna and Alpharetta.

She is AMAZING and really focuses on your needs and wants in a home. She is on TOP OF IT and so available and attentive! She is very knowledgeable in navigating what to look for in buying and preparing you and your home for sell. She is also such a joy to be around. She has such a positive and warm spirit which makes the process exciting and low stress. She is the best in Atlanta and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell! We love you Anna!

This was our second time using Anna to sell our home and buy a new home.

Listing our house with Anna was a no brainer. Both times our homes were under contract within a week of listing. She has so much knowledge of the process, the area, and the market. She knows each neighborhood very well, loves to support local businesses, and a great understanding of home values. Plus she is incredibly kind, enthusiastic and professional.

My experience with Anna was awesome!

!! This was my first time selling a house and Anna gave me great advice and guidance throughout the process. Anna responded quickly to my calls and text messages and also showed me potential properties immediately and contacted the listing agent for details. She was very flexible with her time and was available on weekdays and weekends. With her help I was able to get my house under contract within a month of listing. Anna has a great personality and worked extremely hard to make sure this sale went through.

Easily the best realtor on the planet.

We have used Anna multiple times. She worked with us for almost 7 years. Always was willing to hear us out and work with us. We have two small kids and she always worked without our crazy schedule too. We already recommend her to everyone!!!!

We worked with Anna Ryder from Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices in Georgia to sell our home, and we could not have been more please.

We received multiple offers right after our open house, thanks all to Anna incredible work. Anna brought in a fabulous photographer/videographer to showcase our home online. I could not believe how beautiful our home was, until I saw the amazing pictures and video. She also helped stage our home, which helped make it more appealing to a larger group of potential buyers. Anna was wonderful in keeping us informed every step of the process. She was always available to answer our questions (and the buyers). She was so responsive, very professional and is the sweetest person. We had a great experience!

I had an excellent experience with Anna Ryder during the process of purchasing my home!

Anna is personable, punctual and very knowledgeable. She really went the extra mile to ensure I had everything I wanted in a home. I was involved in an accident the day I signed for my house. Anna showed genuine concern and was there to help me with my recovery Not only is she a great agent but she's a great person overall, I found a great agent and an amazing friend. Thank you Anna!

Anna was most helpful in helping us sell your property in Black Mountain.

We had it on the market for over a year and when we talked to Anna about the slow moving market, she came to our rescue and put us in contact with an agent that helped us sell our property within 3 months. Wish we had talked to her sooner!!!

She was there with us all the way through selling our mothers home.

She went above and beyond to make sure everything was covered

Theresa Nichols

Anna was excellent to work with.

In my short fifteen minute introductory while I was shopping realtors I knew she was going to be our agent. She arrived right on time, had all of her homework done with comps of over 7 homes in my area to help determine a listing price. She is very personable, full of energy, and very responsive. I’ve bought and sold homes multiple times and she is the best agent I’ve dealt with. If I’m ever in Georgia I would use her again. I suggest anyone looking to sell, go with Anna!!

Anna was amazing to work with.

She is super responsive and was very flexible for us throughout the process. She made time for us during the week and weekends to show us houses all over town. She also went above and beyond for us during the closing process. Can’t recommend her enough!

Taylor O

What can I say?

Anna nothing but short of amazing. Reason we hired Anna was because she tried to get to know us, our taste , what we were looking for, not like other realtors I interviewed that asked me during the first sentences what we were spending. She was always I mean ALWAYS available. Checked in with us multiple times a week. Made the VA Home Loan process / the entire home buying process a breeze. If you are not hiring Anna you will miss out, on a good realtor and the best buying experience possible. Anna provides service that you see on a TV show.

Anna is a GEM!

! We met Anna at a open house a few years back and she is one of a kind! Genuine, honest and very professional. She was very patient and super knowledgeable, and guided us through a successful sell and buy of our homes. Anna, we are forever grateful for your guidance and support through such an important milestone in our lives! We’ve told you before, but you are the BEST agent ever.

Anna is a rock-star realtor.

We have bought and sold many homes together through my renovation company. She's accountable, available and has a wealth of knowledge and experience. She knows the process and the importance keeping pace in it. Her design eye is a HUGE value and she's fun to be around. I will use her again for my next purchase.

Pete Ryder

Anna was incredible in our home buying process.

Quick to help if something came up and willing to see something as soon as possible when we were looking. Excellent and would highly recommend.

chadowick

I simply cannot say enough great things about Anna Joy Realty!

My wife and I worked with Anna to find our dream home. In a hyper-competitive market, the home that we had our hearts set on was our's (with us only placing 1 offer!). Anna is an all-around winner! Her bright energy and enthusiasm were a mainstay throughout the entire process. She is unbelievably helpful, extremely knowledgeable about the Atlanta market and real estate in general, and goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. I highly recommend working with Anna and her team - everyone was wonderful and so helpful!

Aldon Ortego

Anna is a total rockstar.

She helped us navigate through the sale of one home and the purchase of another. It is no question that her strategic recommendations are what won us our dream home in this hyper competitive market. She also helped us sell our previous home at top dollar, earning us the highest sale price in the neighborhood - without contingencies, as-is! She's a true expert in her trade, and as fun as she is smart. We couldn't be happier with our experience and will recommend her to everyone, every time.

Anna is everything you want in an agent when buying or selling your home.

She helped us sell our house in less than 2 weeks!! She’s professional, friendly, and an extremely hard worker. We would recommend her to anyone. Thanks again, Anna!

Cameron M

Anna Ryder has been such a great realtor.

I recently just bought my first condo with Anna as my realtor and she made it an extremely easy process. She knows so much and quickly educated me on what I would need to know, which was extremely helpful as this was my first purchase. I was interested in the Virginia Highlands, Midtown and Inman Park area. I’m not too familiar with the areas but knew I wanted to be walking distance to restaurants, stores and close to the Beltline. Anna was well versed in all the areas the condos we looked at were and even showed me great, safe streets to run on and a park I didn’t even realize was in Atlanta- huge bonus! Also, knowing this is a seller’s market, Anna knew what a great offer would be and amongst 4 other offers mine was accepted! So exciting! Another great thing about Anna, she was always setting up appointments to view properties and knowing places are going SO quick this was a HUGE plus! She also kept me up-to-date on everything we had to do leading up to closing date. Although I won’t be purchasing another property anytime soon, I would use her again! If you are debating what realtor to go with…. Try Anna out! She really is great!!!

user6637604

Anna was such an incredibly helpful partner in our home selling process.

We decided spur of the moment to sell our house, and with it being 100 years old, we had quite a bit of work to do to get it market-ready. She was amazing at keeping us on task, offering suggestions, contractors, and helping us get everything done in time!! Thanks to her suggestions on staging, and her excellent marketing materials, our house sold in 36 hours for OVER asking price!! Would recommend Anna in a heartbeat!

We fired our first realtor then hired Anna.

She told us what we needed to do in order to sell our house. Great advice, within 36 hours of going on the market we had Five ! offers . Three were over our asking price! It’s a cliche, but so true Anna “ went the extra mile.” She made a notebook which showed potential buyers what was unique about our house . It included among other things, photos ( which were excellent), a list of all of the improvements we had made, a complete list of local school ( along with their ratings, teacher to student ratios etc).

rebeccagrossalford

I had the pleasant experience of working with Anna Ryder this year.

Unfortunately it wasn’t for long, because of the excellent and fast work she does. As a first time home buyer its hard to trust what is what, and who is who. However, Anna made this process enjoyable, fast, and worth it. Anna is not an average realtor looking to sell, but she is a listener, compassionate, understanding, appreciative and what to find the best for you. In our exhaustion of searching, she continued and found a home that has everything we wanted and more. Thank you so much Anna!!!! P.S. Your beautiful gift is a statement piece in our home Thanks Again, Asia Y.

We wouldn't have our dream home without Anna Ryder!

For starters, Anna helped us purchase our first home 4 years so naturally she was our first choice to help us with this next adventure. Earlier this year, my husband and I decided it was time to start looking for a little more space. We had a very specific area we wanted to be in but that didn't deter Anna. She had so many creative ideas and is always willing to go the extra mile to make dreams come true. We eventually found the perfect house but then had the huge task of getting our current home listed QUICKLY and she came through! She had pics on Monday, listed on a Tuesday and we were under contract by Friday all while I was on a work trip. There's no one else I would have trusted with such a big task! Fast forward, we have close on both homes and are so excited for what's in store! Anna truly made the process a breeze and was always available to answer my thousand questions. She is so patient and willing to educate, which I love! She is so passionate about helping people and it shows in everything she does. Thank you Anna!

Brittany Arnold

I thank Anna Ryder for being the best agent I've ever had the privilege of working with.

She made the sale of my property the easiest sale my husband and I have ever experienced (we've bought and sold over 10 homes). We got our asking price and had the best selling experience we've ever had. If your thinking of selling or buying I highly recommend using Anna because she knows her stuff.

Niccole C

Anna was an amazing realtor!

She helped coordinate everything in preparation for the listing. She was also fantastic in stepping in to assist with last minute touches since we were out of town. Had multiple offers in 1 day!She was honest and trustworthy and also very sweet. Highly recommend Anna!

Patty McGill

We chose Anna because she knows the Smyrna Market so well and is very active in the community!

Anna was a great help through the selling process. She set realistic expectations, helped us with staging ideas, and even has the great notes telling potential buyers ideas and where to look for fun touches we had. Anna even had other realtors review our online listing to see areas where we could improve! I highly recommend Anna!

Kristen Webber

Anna was amazing!

We used her both in the purchase and sale of our homes this spring and cannot say enough nice things about her. She is responsive, professional, and has an incredible depth of knowledge about the housing market and the ins and outs of buying and selling a home. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Anna!

OMG!

Anna Ryder is the best realtor ever. Before I met Anna I was with a realtor that rendered me homeless for 4 months. I knew I had to let her go. I contacted Roby Rankins and told him my previous realtor was a pussycat and I needed a pitbull. He recommended Anna, I gave her my criteria and she was hitting home runs from the start, a pitbull indeed. She found me the perfect home with all the features I asked for. Then (she bared her teeth) she took an aggressive approach with the sellers agent and the lender, literally. With 15 offers on the table, I went under contract March 4th and by March 23rd, I had the keys to my new home in hand. She is by far a great realtor very knowledgeable about her field and I'm sorry I didn't meet her 4 months prior to the other realtor, because she wasted my time. Anna has my recommendations any day. She is the best, very personable and kind. I love my housewarming gifts and I love my home!!! You want a pitbull in the industry call Anna Ryder. With much gratitude. Beatrice Younger

Patty Yancey

Anna Joy helped us buy a new home and sell our current home, which seemed like a daunting task going in.

We have 2 small children, an elderly parent and multiple pets at home, which could have made for a complicated situation...let's be real, it sounded like a nightmare. Anna handled it like the pro she is...she sat down with us, walked us through the process, potential timeline and expectations for all of us. I still wasn't sure! But, she was so responsive, extremely knowledgeable and supportive that it made for an AMAZING experience overall. I cannot express how much I appreciate all that she does for her clients. I have nothing but positive feelings for her service, and highly recommend her for selling AND buying!

Definitely contact Anna if you are looking to sell your place or buy a new one!

About 4 years ago, I was looking to move into Atlanta and really did not know if I wanted to be in the Midtown, Inman Park or Virginia Highlands area as I had only lived north/a little OTP.. with Anna's knowledge of all the areas we were able to narrow down the location that fit best with my lifestyle and I could not have been happier for the years I spent there. Just recently, we listed that VaHi condo and it was under contract in 5 DAYS!! Incredible. Not only did it sell quickly, Anna helped me throughout the process of getting the condo ready, even meeting plumbers & handymen when I was unable. She also hosted an open-house during a snow day in Atlanta- MAJOR PROPS there :). Not to mention Anna is super cool, contact Anna!!

Hands down and all around, Anna Ryder is a stellar individual!

She has an incredibly positive personality with a work ethic that's difficult to find. From the get-go, it's clear her mission is to do nothing but provide the best for her clients. Her level of commitment is outstanding. She handles each situation with the utmost integrity, sharing sound and educated/knowledgeable advice. Anna has helped me many times over the years and most recently by bringing up the value of my home, sharing what home improvements add value and what features are important to buyers. I highly recommend working with her. You can't go wrong!

We have worked with Anna now FIVE times in buying and selling our homes in Smyrna and Alpharetta.

She is AMAZING and really focuses on your needs and wants in a home. She is on TOP OF IT and so available and attentive! She is the best in Atlanta and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell! We love you Anna!

Kelli Hinton

Anna Ryder is AMAZING.

After firing our original realtor we hired Anna on the recommendation of a friend. We asked her what we needed to do in order to sell our house, then followed her advice. Thanks to Anna’s advice and the many extra things she did;such as artful notes placed around the house to draw attention to improvements we had made. A book which provided information regarding local schools ; ratings, teacher to student ratios etc. Bottom line , 36 hours after going on market we had 5 offers, 3 over the asking price. What more can we say.

Rebecca Alford

I cannot recommend Anna enough for all of your real estate needs!

Anna assisted my wife and I with the purchase of our first house was great to work with! She walked us through the entire process and looked out for our best interest the whole time. We will definitely be working her in the future!

Daniel Bennett

darbystanton

Anna was fantastic right off the bat; we gave her a price for what we wanted to sell our home for after being told that our listening price was too high and we would not be able to sell.

Not only did Anna tell us the price we were asking was reasonable, she even said we could go up on the price as soon as we put the house on the market; we received several offers of the price we wanted. Anna did a great job w/ the photos and marketing, and I believe this is what pushed the house into the range where we wanted it and thanks to her being knowledgeable and expertise in her field, we were able to get our house sold over the asking price I would definitely recommend Anna as a realtor and would be hoping to work w/ her again in the foreseeable future

Anna helped us both sell our old home and buy our new home in a wild and crazy market with no stress and no worries.

She listened to exactly what we were looking for and helped us navigate from listing to close and from searching to close with no problem. We're very thankful for Anna's hard work in helping our family find what we were looking for.

"My wife and I cannot say enough amazing things about Anna Ryder. Deciding to sell our house last minute right before the holidays we were concerned, but Anna quickly quelled our fears and made the process easy and enjoyable, and helped us secure a contract in under 2-weeks (for more than what we expected). Any issue or question that came up she was always there ready to assist in a professional and friendly manner. We wholeheartedly recommend utilizing her for any of your real estate needs."

"Anna helped me sell my parents home. She was knowledgeable, responsive and answered all of my questions. There was work that needed to be done and she made it so easy by finding a contractor and coordinating the repairs for me. She kept me informed throughout the process, and made a stressful and emotional experience feel smooth and easy. Thanks to her expertise and attention to detail, the house sold quickly without any complications. I can't thank her enough for her guidance and partnership throughout the entire process!"

"We just closed on our third home purchase, fifth transaction with Anna Joy Realty. As always, the transaction went even better than we could have imagined. And while we had high expectations, the market did not play as favorably in our favor this go around - so suffice to say, WE WERE ELATED with the results! Our first purchase in 2016, we secured below asking. We closed on the sale of that townhome at a record breaking price for the neighborhood at that time. We purchased our first house in downtown Marietta in 2022, beating out nearly 20 offers - not because we were the highest bidder, but because of relationships. And now? We are in our dream home right by Marietta Square at a price below asking due to Anna’s negotiating know-how. We sold our prior home for $70K above asking in a market that doesn’t favor the seller. We followed Anna’s prep and pricing guidance and got far more offers than expected and never had to pay double mortgages bc we had a quick close. We feel so lucky to have Anna in our corner. She really is the best in the business!"

"Working with Anna was truly exceptional from start to finish. Anna was so knowledgeable, responsive, professional, and personal throughout the entire process. What stood out most was her ability to make everything feel seamless — from answering every question to navigating negotiations with confidence and care. Anna’s expertise in the market, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to helping clients find the right home is unmatched. I always felt supported, informed, and prioritized. I thank her for having my best interest at heart as I was moving to Georgia from another state."
