About Ryan Bustos (owner of Blue Ribbon Appraisals, LLC)

With over 20 years of experience in residential real estate appraisal, I take pride in delivering high-quality, personalized service tailored to each client’s unique situation. Whether you are dealing with an estate situation, divorce, refinance, property acquisition, property sale or a complex mountain or rural property, I am here to provide honest, accurate and dependable valuations that you can trust.

As a Colorado native, my roots in this state run deep. Before becoming a Certified Residential Appraiser, I spent nearly 15 years working in both commercial and residential construction—an experience that gives me a well-rounded perspective on property valuation. Since earning my appraisal certification in the mid 2000s, I’ve been proudly serving clients across the Denver Metro area along with the Front Range’s mountain and rural communities.

I bring a deep understanding of local markets that is combined with the education, credentials and hands-on experience needed to accurately appraise homes of all sizes, ages, styles, settings and conditions. My appraisals are trusted by banks, credit unions and major lending institutions along with law offices, real estate professionals and homeowners alike. This includes a countless number of appraisals for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and HUD/FHA.

Blue Ribbon Appraisals was founded with a simple mission: To deliver the service, quality and peace of mind that stands alone at the top — just as a “Blue Ribbon” would indicate.

Service Area

Based in Northwest Arvada, I provide appraisal services throughout the Denver metro area south to Castle Rock, north into Longmont/Boulder and west into the mountains—from Allenspark to Evergreen, Conifer and Bailey along with the Interstate 70 corridor up to the Eisenhower Tunnel.
