Exceptional

Ryan is an exceptional attorney. He was able to accomplish in less than a week what another Orleans law firm could not do in 2 1/2 months. Timing of property deed transfers was critical and after speaking with him I was confident he would do whatever it took to get it done. I am located in NY but the... property is on Cape Cod so everything had to be done remotely which made me extremely anxious. Ryan was very professional, knowledgeable, accessible, responsive, and was genuinely invested in helping me. The transaction was seamless and completed 2 days before the deadline. I will only hire him for all future transactions as he is truly the best in the business. I highly recommend him and his staff.

Review for Attorney Ryan Cunningham

Ryan Cunningham became my Real Estate attorney for the sale of my house only four months ago. My son introduced me to Ryan as a friend who could give me advice. As a recent widow, I made the decision to sell the house my husband and I built together 30 years ago. Selling my house was a daunting proce...ss for me alone. Ryan helped me with his outstanding knowledge and expertise. Because Ryan provided such prompt feedback, without hesitation, I asked him to represent me in the sale of my house. I, also asked Ryan to represent me in the purchase of a condominium where I could move upon the sale of my house. The entire selling and buying processes were confusing. Ryan was always available to explain documents that needed to be signed. Ryan communicated with me via text, phone, and email on a frequent basis for my house sale and my condominium purchase. Even when my questions were repetitive, Ryan readily gave me clear explanations. I highly recommend Ryan Cunningham for any Real Estate transactions.

Great to Deal with

Ryan did a great job representing us on both the purchase and sale of a home. He was always available and responded very timely whenever we had a question or concern. He was very thorough and discovered a title issue weeks in advance of our closing date. This allowed us to easily rectify the issue a...nd alleviate a lot of unneeded stress. Ryan was very easy to talk to and was professional throughout the process. I would definitely hire him again!

Thanks for the positive review! I am glad we were able to discover the problem with your Seller's title and work with them to ensure it was fixed quickly and in time for Closing! I hope you are enjoying the fall season in your new home and looking forward to the approaching holidays.

Ryan is fantastic!

Emily and I recently selected Ryan as the attorney to help us purchase our new home. We were thrilled with the decision! Ryan’s approach set our minds at ease on what to expect with his services starting with him helping us draft an offer through explaining each part of the purchase process until we ...Closed on our new home. Additionally, he worked well with the team on the other side of our purchase and customized the Purchase & Sale Agreement to protect our investment. Throughout he was a pleasure to work with as he kept us informed of the latest back and forth on the transaction and he was in person with us on Closing day, again taking the time to simplify the explanation of each document to give us a sense of comfort in what we were initialing and signing. We’d recommend Ryan for any real estate transaction that you might need help getting done!

Highly recommend

Ryan has recently represented a few of my clients. Having owned a Century21 franchise for over 30 years, I have had numerous interactions with attorneys who have represented buyers, sellers and landlords. I would strongly recommend Ryan. He always goes above and beyond, is responsive to questions a...nd/or concerns, and is also very good at negotiating issues responding quickly to time sensitive matters.
