Ben did a great job assessing the market value of our home, suggesting a fair list price and then listing. He helped us work through multiple offers and choose the one that was the right buyer for our home. His customer service was top notch the whole time. Ben helped us purchase this home several years ago as well when we moved to the area. Highly recommend.
We have bought and sold several homes in our lifetime and never had a better experience than we had with Ben. He handled all aspects of the sale with professionalism and always seem to know what was going to happen. He communicated with us all through the process. I would highly recommend Ben for any realtor needs in the future.

When we needed to short sale our home we spoke to Julia McConnahay our real estate attorney who recommended Ben Kastein from Advantage Realty. Ben was extremely professional and had an incredible team of resources available to him to use to help us through the daunting process. Our Home was under contract quickly and when delays with the bank spooked our original buyer we were able to get another buyer within a couple of weeks. His network of people was able to help the buyer get approved and navigate the crazy paperwork with our bank short sale process. I would recommend Ben Kastein if you are trying to sell or buy. If you are selling dont be afraid if your home is a challenge to sell. Ben will tell it to you straight and help you through whatever process is best for you.
Ben is the warmest real estate agent you will ever work with - it is like working with a member of your family. In addition to his positive demeanor in a high-stress time, he is always accessible (via text, phone, email) and is a great connector between agents, attorneys, sellers, etc. He makes everything as easy and seamless as possible for you. I would (and will) recommend him to family and friends.

Ben?s experience and vast knowledge gave us comfort throughout our first buying experience. We had great communication and his proactive approach got us into the perfect house quickly. Everything went very smoothly and his recommendations for the lender and attorney were stellar as well.
I recently worked with Ben to sell our home. He was one of three realtors that I interviewed, and was impressed with his local knowledge, skill set and marketing plan to sell our home. This was the first home weve ever sold, and Ben walked us through how the process would work, and was with us every step of the way, from staging advice, gathering feedback from showing agents, to the eventual negotiation with our buyers agent. He always responded to texts, calls and emails right away. He really cares for his clients and makes himself available. His reputation speaks for itself! Trust in Ben, you wont regret it!
Simply put, Ben and his team are solid. I?ve worked with Ben twice on two transactions over the course of eleven years. Ben is responsive, patient, listens well and is focused on treating you like you?re his only customer.

Ben was patient, knowledgable and never hesitated to explain to me the processes to sell my house of 40 years by myself. His goal was to help me sell my house, not his commission, so I could move on.
Ben stepped in after another realtor had failed. He was very professional and had great intuition with regard to how the market was acting. We sold our home within 3 weeks after the other realtor had wasted 6 months. I would highly recommend Ben and his office.
Ben was very knowledgeable, professional and patient with the many questions I have had through this process. Ben knew the inside and outside of homes and was able to make recommendations and estimate about how much a project would cost. Even after the deal was done Ben had stopped by to help me locate my furnace filter.
Ben is very knowledgeable and was very responsive to my inquiries. I would highly recommend him. My husband and I intend to use Ben when we sell another property in the next few years.
Ben is better than anyone can expect. In fact, before Ben we had a previous realtor that seemed to have no idea what they were doing. It was so unpleasant and stressful. Ben was then recommended to us and from the very first house we saw it was like a breath of fresh air. His knowledge of any property is outstanding. He can easily guide you on any work or potential problems you would have to deal with in the future. He knows a house from the inside out and is even willing to jump into deep dark crawl spaces to check things out. He makes you feel like you are his only client and gives you his complete attention. He is organized and efficient. He answers any and all questions, is easily reachable, and is a pleasure to work with. He is kind and he cares. We really cant sing his praises enough. No matter where life takes us with future housing, we will be Bens clients for life.
I was very impressed by his willingness to help no matter what the problem. Ben had solutions and ideas about how to solve each problem that I had while in the process of buying my new home. Excellent job, Ben!

He was very diligent about contacting the bank and their brokerage company on a regular basis to ensure everything continued to move forward. He fought hard for us and we ended up with a beautiful home for a great price. Ben is extremely knowledgeable and so easy to work with. He really took a lot of stress out of an extremely difficult situation. I cannot say enough about how pleased I was with his effort and attention every step of the way on the purchase of our first home.
Professional, dependable and a pleasure to work with!!! Helped me purchase and sell the same property, look forward to working with him again in the future!!!

My wife and I are first-time home buyers. When we began our search, we started using websites like Zillow. Being first-time buyers, the process was a bit anxious for us. Then, we were connected with Ben and the home search became a lot more enjoyable. Ben is extremely personable, knowledgeable, and a buyer-first realtor. He offered honest feedback and was extremely responsive throughout the entire process. I highly recommend that anyone work with Ben during their home buying experience.
I picked Ben from a website of realtors. I knew none of them and chose him because of his smiling picture and years of experience. It was the best choice I could have made!!! Ben is very knowledgeable. I am moving from out of state and he was always right there to answer questions. We looked at over 40 houses. He helped us see what might work and what wouldnt based on our needs. Even after the closing he is still helping me. I cannot say enough great things about BEN!! Choosing Ben made our experience so enjoyable....I challenge anyone to find a better realtor!
Ben was fantastic from the very first day we spoke with him. He patiently showed us a lot of properties, understood what we really wanted and was patient enough though the whole process of a short sale. He is so knowledgeable and made both my wife and I feel very comfortable . His advise, guidance and expertise are invaluable. We will always contact him for our next buy or sell.
