My Story

Get to Know Me

Ryan Santos is a licensed real estate broker, investor, and the founder of Authentic Real Estate, serving homeowners throughout the Coachella Valley and Southern California. With years of experience listing & selling beautiful homes, while also working with distressed properties and sourcing off-market deals, Ryan has built a reputation for transforming problem properties into fresh opportunities.

Beyond the deals, Ryan documents the journey—sharing educational, behind-the-scenes content with thousands of followers on Instagram and YouTube. His focus isn’t just on transactions, but on teaching others how real estate investing really works: the risks, the rewards, and the mindset it takes to succeed.

A true believer in growth, fitness, and building a life by design, Ryan brings that same energy into his everyday life and business. When he’s not negotiating deals or helping clients reach their real estate goals, you’ll find him hanging with his kids, getting a workout in, hiking desert trails, or just spending quality time with his wife and family. He’s passionate about giving back—whether volunteering at his local rescue mission or serving at church—and believes real success is measured by how much you can help others rise. His greatest fulfillment comes from helping people succeed who once believed they couldn’t—especially those who thought buying or selling real estate was out of reach.

If you’re looking to sell quickly, explore investment opportunities, or learn more about the reality of real estate, Ryan is the guy who can help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
