About Ben Engelman

Anyone who thinks real estate agents are stuffy clearly hasn't met Ben Engelman. His enthusiasm for helping people sell or build the perfect house would make you think you're on the next episode of an HGTV reality show. Don't be fooled by his goofball exterior and entertaining Snapchats. He's a tenacious negotiator, going the extra mile and advocating for his clients and making sure they get the best deal possible. He's an all around good time, but he also brings an ambitious zeal to get the job done. Ben started out his career serving our country in the Navy. While this helped him develop the mindset of a workhorse and a systematic approach to projects, after five years, he and his wife Teresa decided it was time to come home to Ames. Before stepping into real estate, Ben owned a building service contracting firm, where he was able to hone his talents in leadership, negotiation, and customer satisfaction. In his spare time, he loves spending quality time with his family, whether that's cheering on the Cyclones, going on vacation with his four kiddos, or just hanging out at home. At the center of all Ben does, is a love for people. He's one of the easiest guys to talk to, whether you're looking to sell or build a house or just run into him around town.

Ben made our buying experience so great! He was patient and knowledgable in helping us find our dream home. He went above and beyond supporting us from start to finish of the whole process.

There aren't enough words to describe how fantastic Olivia was to work with. As first-time home buyers, we were nervous about everything. What steps to take, what things to do. We met Olivia at an open house, and opted to utilize her for our purchasing journey. She went above and beyond, not just setting up houses we sent her, but offering homes she thought might fit for us, given ones we had looked at or shown interest in. She was quick to communicate any issues, or help work through and walk through processes. She had to remind me more than once to breathe and keep calm because everything was going exactly how it should, when I was getting worried about how some moments felt stagnant. And upon closing, she and the firm gave us a beautiful gift basket of goodies and gift cards to help start making our house a home. I couldn't be happier with my dream home, and I'm grateful to Olivia who was my advocate the entire way.

Tony was very punctual and did his best to make home buying as easy of a process as possible! He went out of his way to answer any questions we had. He shared his knowledge and concerns on houses we looked at, helping us decide what house we wanted!

Ben did an amazing job! Through out the entire process, I felt like his only priority was making us happy, comfortable and protected. As fast as the housing market moves, Ben works just as fast and with his well earned experience he is able to give a great well rounded perspective of all that entails when purchasing a home.
