Ross Rylance

My grandfather was an architect in Brisbane, Australia. My father was a builder and developer in Australia, Florida, Illinois and Minneapolis. I have grown up around building and selling real estate all my life. My goal is too help enough people that I can start a charity that will help homeless people back into a home! I currently am involved with helping Safe Haven a family homeless shelter here in Nashville.
After two years, I am certified e-Pro and designated ABR, I am working on more personal development through education and active involvement with the Greater Nashville Association of REALTORS working on the Special Events and Young Realtor Committees. In February I was a graduate of Camp 443 and have attended my first Family Reunion with Keller Williams in Las Vegas, February 2007 and my second in Atlanta in February of 2008.
