Hi, I'm Frank Ryan!

In the spring of 2011, my wife, Karen, and I embarked on a quest for the holy grail of family living: a fantastic spot to raise our two boys, Anthony and Nicholas. Naturally, our unwavering love for all things sandy and salty led us straight to Lewes.

Karen (and her uncanny ability to sniff out a good opportunity), has always been knee-deep in the building industry. So, when she stumbled upon Schell Brothers, it was love at first sight—for her, and evidently, for them! They hired her on the spot, and she even snagged "Best New Hire for 2011." I'm ridiculously proud of her, and let's be honest, her success pretty much guarantees my job security. 😉

After about a year of living vicariously through Karen and Schell Brothers' legendary company culture I finally decided to join the fun. In March 2012 I started my sales career in new home construction and let me tell you, it's been nothing like I expected. In the best way possible! I love it!

My Journey: From Beach Bum to Award-Winning Sales Guy

Since 2012, I've had the distinct privilege of being part of more amazing Schell Brothers experiences than I can count, and I've even collected a few shiny awards along the way. I've been dubbed Sales Star for Schell Brothers in both 2016 and 2021, Top Sales for Schell Brothers in 2017, Front Lines Award for Schell Brothers in 2020, and was recognized as Most Dedicated for Schell Brothers in 2023. I've also had the immense pleasure of helping the company expand its happy footprint into our Nashville and Boise divisions, spreading our unique brand of culture and mission of happiness. You're welcome, America!

On the national stage, I've even personally been involved in two NAHB (National Association of Home Builders)-recognized gold and silver awards for my work at Schell Brothers. Plus, I've had the pleasure of lending my (unsolicited) wisdom as part of the sales advisory council for Shore Consulting, for creating better homeowner experiences.

My Other Shenanigans (Because Life's Too Short to Be Boring)

Beyond just being part of a company that practically insists on creativity, I'm also a proud co-founder of Tipsy Blokes, Schell Brothers' very own locally brewed beer company (yes, you read that right). I also co-founded and co-host Beachfront Banter, the Schell Brothers podcast, bringing you fun and unique information on everything local, one sip and one listen at a time. However, to truly top it all off, my proudest (and most self-appointed) achievement has been becoming the Self-Proclaimed King of Community Happy Hours, fostering good vibes, sparking friendships, and building long lasting communities!

Let’s Make Homebuying Fun… From Keys to Community!

We all know buying a home can feel like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded, and while I take my role in the process incredibly seriously, it absolutely should be FUN! I've had the fortunate experience of guiding countless folks through their new home journey, and trust me, it's a unique and genuinely fun adventure every single time. My commitment extends far beyond the sale; I'm here to ensure your homebuying experience is so enjoyable, it spills over into long-lasting connections and friendships within your new community. Think of me as your homebuying wingman, ready to help you find your ideal home and then introduce you to the awesome people who'll soon be your neighbors.

This isn't just about finding a house; it's about building a community, and that starts with us! We'll share some laughs, maybe a few happy hours (along with a few cocktails), and definitely some well-deserved celebrations along the way. I'm passionate about helping foster connections among new homeowners, turning what can be a stressful process into an exciting new chapter. So, get ready, because we're not just finding you a place to live, we're kicking off an adventure filled with good times, plenty of shenanigans, and the start of some fantastic friendships. Take a peek at my videos to get a taste of the fun – I can't wait to show you what the home-buying experience should be like!
