Meet the Team

Team Co-Owner and President

Ryan Cave (AKA The “Caveman”) began his journey into real estate back in 2002, founding The Cave Realty Team not long thereafter. Since then, he has helped hundreds of clients buy, sell and invest in real estate ... and learned a lot along the way. Ryan has served on the Agent Leadership Council for several years, a group comprised of top-producing agents that, among other things, gives back to the community and their fellow agents, and has earned Double Platinum ranking at KWFR 2016, 2017 and 2018, and Top Producer from D Magazine in 2018.

As The Cave Realty Team has grown and new opportunities have arisen, Ryan has helped transform people's lives by helping them discover their calling in real estate. He has a passion for teaching and training others to succeed on his team, in his office, and in other offices around the world.

In his spare time, Ryan enjoys travel, animal rescue and spending time with his wife and kids.

“I'm proud that, even as I grew my business, I stayed true to my beliefs of ‘Truth, Honor & Personal Integrity.’ I believe my parents instilled them in me, though the motto comes from my college days. I try each day to combine these ideals with my enthusiasm, strong work ethic and years of experience to exceed expectations. It’s my goal to positively impact everyone I come into contact with, and leave them knowing that there are some truly great real estate agents out there.”

Sarah Cave
Team Co-Owner and CEO

Sarah is both business partner and wife of the Team's Founder, Ryan Cave.  She started out in 2005 doing administrative work for him while he grew his brand and team. Shortly after graduating from the University of Texas at Dallas, having majored in Biology, she was quick to realize that her career had already begun in real estate. Since then, she and Ryan have expanded the team and cast a big vision for the next five years.

Outside of the office, Sarah enjoys spending time with her family, including 4 dogs and 2 cats, and traveling the world.

"Being a Dallas native, it has been particularly pleasing to see our community expand and improve as much as it has over the past few years. I cannot wait to see all the new development over the next few years and it makes me proud to be a small part of it!"

He plays a key role in helping buyers find the right home, coordinating with agents, and ensuring a smooth transaction.
