Ryan Knowels
In just a few short years, Ryan Knowles has catapulted himself into the very top tier of The Bahamas real estate market,
selling over $35 million of real estate in the process. With a focus on luxury and new development properties, Ryan
has garnered an excellent reputation in the industry and counts successful entrepreneurs, CEOs and developers as some
of his top clients. Since making history as the youngest Bahamian ever to qualify as a licensed real estate agent, Ryan has
added other noteworthy achievements to his résumé, including being awarded the prestigious Certified Luxury Home
Marketing Specialist (CLHMS) designation by the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing in recognition of attaining
knowledge, experience, and expertise in the fine home and
estate market in The Bahamas. This designation places Ryan in the top 1% of all licensed agents in the U.S. and the
Caribbean. After graduating high school in Nassau, Knowles studied International Business at
St. Leo University in Florida with a goal of entering the corporate sector. However, upon returning to The Bahamas, a
chance meeting with another top performing Bahamian realtor changed the course of his occupational objectives.
While unexpected, this shift in plans allowed Ryan to discover his passion for real estate
and to excel in a hyper-competitive Bahamian market. Today, Ryan’s success and fulfillment continues to demonstrate he
made the right choice. When he’s not selling million dollar houses, receiving industry designations or traveling to real
estate conferences, this Paradise Island resident is active in his Bahamian community. As a strong believer in giving back to
the community, Ryan played a critical role in establishing the Community Leadership Centre – a not for profit organization
dedicated to improving the reading, math and all around
