About Ryan

Ryan Ivemeyer is a licensed real estate broker with O'Neil Property Group serving Kane County, Kendall County, and the surrounding western suburbs. Since 2014 he has represented buyers, sellers, and investors through clear communication, straightforward pricing conversations, and a plan that fits the client's timeline rather than the agent's.

The channel came out of the same idea. Most people start their search months before they call anyone, and they deserve to see what a house actually looks like and what it actually costs before a showing. So Ryan films the tours, breaks down the numbers, and answers the questions people are already typing into Google.

How often do new videos come out?

New videos post regularly, usually several times a month, and shorter clips land in between. This page pulls straight from the channel, so whatever is at the top here is the newest upload.

Can I tour a home I saw in one of the videos?

Yes. If the home is still available, Ryan can schedule a private showing. Call or text Ryan at 630-425-8815, or send a message through the form on this page with the video title.

Can Ryan show me homes that were never in a video?

Yes. Ryan can show you any home listed on the MLS, regardless of which brokerage has it listed. The videos are a sample of what is out there, not the full inventory.

I am relocating from out of state. Can Ryan help?

Can I request a video on a specific home or neighborhood?

Yes, and requests get priority. Send the address, subdivision, or town through the form below and Ryan will work it into the schedule when he can.

Are the prices in the videos still accurate?

Prices reflect the day of filming. Listings sell, prices change, and interest rates move. Reach out for current numbers on any home you saw.

Does Ryan work with sellers, or only buyers?

Both. Ryan handles listings across the western suburbs and can walk you through pricing, prep, and timing. Start with a home valuation, then decide from there.
