Meet Our Team

Brad Ryon
Broker / Owner

Brad has become well-known and respected for his high level of integrity, and ability to maintain his easy going nature combined with his serious focus to his clients and the profession. In addition, he is an officially licensed real estate professional, holding licenses with the International National Association of Realtors, Roatan Realtors Association, Multiple Listing Service (MLS), and CANABIRH, he is well-versed and highly experienced with the local real estate market, including the legalities involved in buying, owning, and selling properties, as well as doing business in Honduras.

Brad first visited and began investing in Utila in 2002; relocating year-round to Utila in early 2005. Upon moving to the island, Brad purchased and managed the popular Bundu Café and continued to invest in properties in the rapidly growing real estate market. At that time, Brad also saw a clear need for an educated, ethical, and professional real estate agent on the island, which prompted him to pursue his licensing and subsequent affiliation Utila Realty. When the business later became available for sale, Brad bought out the company, and continues to work the business full time, hands-on and directly with his clients, as well as continues to be active in the Utila real estate market personally.

Prior to arriving in Utila, Brad worked for the United States National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) a Marine Biologist for over 10 years in Hawai’i, the Pacific Region and Alaska, focusing on marine mammal policy issues and remote island field biology. During his tenure there, he was also the Marine Mammal Stranding and Oil Spill Response Coordinators, involved with the management and coordination of large scale responses and logistics involving biologists, government, and the local community.
