Meet Ryan Colvin
Ryan Colvin has spent most of his life in the Winston-Salem area, and that deep local knowledge shapes everything about how he serves his clients. As a Real Estate Broker with DJS Investment Properties, Ryan leads the STARR Real Estate team, bringing a client-first, hands-on approach to every buyer and seller he works with.
What sets Ryan apart is his background on both sides of real estate. In addition to his work as a broker, Ryan owns STARR Real Estate LLC, a real estate investment company focused on renovating and repositioning homes throughout the Winston-Salem area. That means when Ryan evaluates a property with you, he's not just looking at it as an agent — he's looking at it with an investor's eye for value, condition, and long-term potential.
Ryan is married with three adult children and remains deeply rooted in the community he's called home for most of his life. Whether you're buying your first home, selling a longtime family property, or looking at real estate as an investment, Ryan brings both local expertise and hands-on real estate experience to help you make a confident decision.
