Ryan Harper is a Colorado Broker Associate, license number 100043595, an active producing agent in Boulder, and Epique Realty's Colorado State Leader. He is also an area leader and an agent coach. Before real estate he served in the US Navy, built and sold a contracting company, ran an SEO and PPC agency, and co-wrote two books on marketing and home sales.
Ryan Harper holds three roles at Epique Realty: Colorado State Leader, area leader, and agent coach. He is also still a producing agent, which is the part that matters most for anything written on this site. He trains agents on lead generation, funnels, YouTube marketing and AI tools.
He says it himself in the walkthrough video: "I am still in production and always probably will be. I love selling houses." That single line does more work than any title, because the fee schedule on this site is one he pays, and the transaction coordinator is one he actually uses.
One exception, and it is worth stating plainly: Ryan does not pay the $149 monthly technology fee, because area leaders do not. Where this site describes that fee, it describes it in the third person for exactly that reason.
Ryan Harper served in the US Navy aboard the USS Enterprise, including deployment in the Persian Gulf. He then worked as an electrician, built a custom home contracting company and sold it, ran a GPS voice download site, and operated an SEO and PPC agency before returning to real estate full time.
The contracting company he sold after reading The 4-Hour Workweek, which is either the best or the worst reason anyone has ever sold a business, depending on the year you ask him.
The GPS site let you download a voice for your Garmin so it could give you grief for missing a turn. It is not on a resume anywhere. It is on this page because it is true, and because a bio with only the impressive parts in it is not a bio.
The marketing years are the ones that carry over. Running search and paid campaigns for clients, earning Google Ads certification, and then applying the same machinery to listings is why he now teaches funnels and YouTube rather than scripts and door knocking. The custom home building is why the luxury side made sense.
Ryan Harper co-wrote two books. SEO & PPC Unleashed with Matthew Lewis, on search and paid advertising for business owners. Luxury Home Sales For The Digital Age with Sondra Harper, on using the internet to sell a home. Both are co-authored, both are in print, and both ISBNs are below so you can confirm that rather than take our word for it.
Search and paid advertising for business owners who want to understand what they are buying rather than outsource it blind.
See the listingSubtitled "Harness the power of the internet to sell your home in record time." Written for sellers and for the agents marketing to them.
See the listingRyan's speaker bio calls these "Ryan's books." Both are co-authored, and the co-authors are named above. It is a small thing, and it is the kind of small thing this site has to get right, because a page that rounds up on authorship has no standing to tell you a brokerage rounded up on a savings figure.
Ryan heard about a brokerage, thought about it for two years, and then joined. Those two years cost him seven figures in missed equity. He calls it a multimillion dollar mistake, and it was entirely his own. Nobody hid anything from him. He simply never did the arithmetic.
That is why he moved on Epique the day Colorado opened, and it is why there is a calculator on this site instead of a pitch.
It is also the honest frame for taking coaching from him. He is a coach who got the single biggest structural decision of his career wrong, by two years, by not running numbers he had full access to. He tells that story constantly because the lesson cost him more than it will ever cost you to hear it.
Every checkable claim on this page has a source. The license is in the Colorado state database, the books have ISBNs and public listings, the professional profiles are linked below, and Epique's contractor agreement is published in full. If a claim here cannot be checked somewhere other than this site, it should not persuade you.
Ryan is paid when an agent affiliates with Epique through him. Revenue share, and his position as Colorado State Leader, both depend on agents joining. He wrote most of this site, and he benefits if it works.
That is the reason for the calculator, the published transcript and the links above. Not because disclosure makes the incentive go away, but because a claim you can check somewhere else does not depend on trusting the person making it.
