About Ryan
With over 15 years of experience in coastal Orange County real estate, Ryan Gunderson has established himself as one of the premier experts in the region, particularly specializing in Balboa Island properties. Having lived on the Island for many years, and with his family still residing there, Ryan offers an intimate knowledge of this unique community that is unparalleled.
Ryan's deep connection to Balboa Island is not just personal—it's professional. As a former member of the Balboa Island Improvement Association Board of Directors for over six years, he brings a wealth of knowledge about local building codes, zoning regulations, and FEMA guidelines, making him an invaluable resource for both buyers and sellers. This expertise ensures that every transaction is handled with precision, protecting clients during and after the sale.
As the leader of the Gunderson Group, Ryan prides himself on offering a boutique real estate experience that competes with larger firms. His team’s innovative approach—likened to the “Tesla” of real estate—ensures that every home is marketed as a custom experience, rather than following a one-size-fits-all template. This attention to detail has led to impressive results, with over $300,000,000 in sales in the past three years.
Ryan’s knowledge of the Island, paired with his experience across coastal Orange County, allows him to serve a wide range of clients while maintaining his focus on delivering exceptional, personalized service. His goal is simple: to provide the best results and experience for his clients through hard work, dedication, and a deep understanding of the market.
Outside of work, Ryan enjoys spending time with his wife Jill and their four children, and he remains active in the community that he has long called home.
