My name is Ryan Knapp, and I am proud to be a Partner at Torelli Realty, serving Costa Mesa and the surrounding Orange County community. Born and raised in Costa Mesa, my family has been a valued part of the community since 1966. I graduated from Estancia High School and went on to earn a BA in Political Science from the University of California at Irvine, where I was also a three-year Varsity Letterman on the Men’s Golf Team. Golf has taught me invaluable lessons about hard work, dedication, and strategy—qualities that translate directly into how I approach real estate. The precision and focus required to excel on the golf course mirror the attention to detail I bring to every transaction. My experience as a golfer has honed my ability to anticipate challenges, adapt quickly, and deliver results—all skills that benefit my clients as they navigate the complexities of buying or selling a home.

Before earning my real estate license, I gained extensive experience in the mortgage industry, working for both a mortgage broker and Bank of America for three years. During that time, I helped clients purchase their dream homes by tailoring solutions to fit their unique financial needs. This background in lending gives me an edge in understanding market trends and providing comprehensive advice on all facets of real estate finance. I also had the privilege of working alongside Costa Mesa’s top realtor, Valerie Torelli, as her Marketing Director. This role deepened my knowledge of the local market and strengthened my commitment to serving our community with integrity and professionalism. Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a home, or exploring investment opportunities, my combination of local expertise, financial insight, and strategic mindset makes me a trusted partner for all your real estate needs. Let me help you navigate the ever changing market with confidence and precision. I look forward to making your real estate goals a reality!
