ZillowVERIFIEDWe had a great experience working with Ben purchasing our new home as well as selling our old home. Ben always responded quickly and was able to help guide us through numerous situations on both ends of our transactions. He was thorough when assessing perspective homes and helped us get our home ready to sell by advising changes we could made to help it sell.

ZillowVERIFIEDBen did an incredible job assisting us with the purchase of our first home. He was very accommodating with showing us houses on short notice. He was also very thorough while looking at houses, making sure to point things out and educate us since it was our first time buying a home. Ben was always responsive when we had questions or concerns. He was also our landlord for 2 years and made the whole process very easy. Would highly recommend him!

ZillowVERIFIEDBen was a brilliant agent to work with! We were second time home buyers with an extremely quick timeframe in needing a house. Plus, we were out of town! Ben and his team were absolutely fabulous with teaching us about the areas in town that would be perfect for our family and finding us the best home. His keen eye for details allowed us to make the best decision. Even when we werent able to make it to town, Ben did a detailed and helpful walk through of properties for us. He guided us on the best offers to make and helped us be strategic. We couldnt be happier with the communication, process, and time we had with Ben! I will recommend him to anyone purchasing or selling and we will absolutely be using him again in the future! Thank you again for all your help!

ZillowVERIFIEDBens knowledge is second to none. We felt extremely comfortable and confident throughout the entire buying process, which in this market can be overwhelming at times. Ben made sure the process was smooth throughout and was always working non stop to make sure he did right by us. Can not recommend him enough!

ZillowVERIFIEDBen goes above and beyond any realtor I ever met! He is professional, honest, and cares deeply about working for you. He will not steer you in the wrong direction. He has walked me out of homes that would be problematic and money pits. His job may be to get the sale, but he cares more about what you want in a home and what you can handle. He works with all walks of life and caters to their needs. He is patient, explains every step of the process, and crawls into every inch of a home to make sure it is right for you (even when he is fully dressed up). With Ben, it is like getting a second inspection! He has experience, gives excellent advice, willing to admit his faults, very responsive, and is hands down the best realtor you will ever find!!!! I am not one to give reviews, but he deserves this praise and his work ethic will blow you away. I have worked with him for a very long time and currently found my dream home. I could not have done it without him. His calm and patient demeanor is what is needed throughout buying/selling a home. Hands down the #1 realtor! If I ever need a realtor again, it would be him. I highly recommend him!!

ZillowVERIFIEDBen was an absolute pleasure to work with. My wife and I were in the market for our first home and with Bens knowledge and expertise, we were able to find it. We worked together for 6 months and not at anytime did we feel rushed throughout the process. Ben took his time and offered us his honest opinions and insight and even helped us from not making a rash decision without thinking it through. He was patient and was very accommodating throughout the whole process. Not only did we gain an awesome agent during this process but we also gained a friend. Thanks Ben!

ZillowVERIFIEDBen was amazing! He truly listened to us when we voiced our wants and needs in a home, was very attentive to and helpful, incredibly knowledgeable, and just a very down-to-earth and honest during each and every interaction. Ben knows this business well and it shines through with how informative he was. I would highly recommend utilizing his services. You can't ask for a better advocate... someone who truly is looking out for your best interests.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I could not have imagined a better experience with buying our first home. Ben went to bat for us a few times with seller throughout the process and achieved the outcome we were looking for. His guidance made this a great and exciting experience. His knowledge for what to look for and advice along the way were priceless. We are now proud and ecstatic first time home owners!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe kind of stumbled upon Ben, when looking for our first home. It turned out to be the best thing that had happened to us. Ben found us great looking homes within our budget and in the exact areas we wanted. His knowledge of the area and surrounding areas was fantastic. Ben was also quick to respond, and definitely was not annoyed with our first time buyer questions. But most importantly, he kept us informed on next steps, and if we ran into any problems in the process, he was there to help explain everything and tell us what we needed to do or what was going to happen next. No doubt I would recommend him to anyone looking for a home in or near our neighborhood.

ZillowVERIFIEDBen helped me with buying my first home and he made the whole process go as smoothly and quickly as possible. We ended up closing on our house in less than 30 days without any issues. He also gave me recommendations for inspectors, HVAC, chimney sweepers, and insurance agents since this is the first time I would be using any of these services.

ZillowVERIFIEDThis was my 3rd time going through the buying process with Ben Murphy as my agent. It was my first time as a seller. There were times when Ben told me things I didn't want to hear. There were times when all we could do was wait. Through all of it, he was HONEST. He has extensive knowledge of homes, repairs, and remodeling. His knowledge and his honesty gave me security and peace of mind during one of the most stressful times ever. When it comes to making the largest purchase of your life honesty IS everything. I would absolutely recommend Ben Murphy to take you on this journey, you can trust him to help you find your forever home.

ZillowVERIFIEDBen is a seasoned expert and professional realtor who perfectly suited our needs as first-time home buyers! Ben was very responsive to all our home inquiries. Ben used each showing as a unique educational opportunity to teach us about home quality and construction, and advised us carefully about any risks of a property. Ben is patient and thorough, and has a calm demeanor that is very reassuring during the home buying process. Ben's advice secured us the home of our dreams, and his attention to detail made the transaction as smooth as possible! Ben has a dedication to excellence that sets him apart from other realtors and he consistently went above and beyond to help us get into a great home!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe worked with Ben Murphy on the sale of our sale of our condo and he also helped us purchase a house. Ben was very knowledgeable of the housing market and was able to sell our house within a week and a half of initially placing the house on the market! He gave prompt and helpful responses to any questions we had along the way. He worked very hard to help us secure a new home at a price point we were comfortable with. Ben gave his honest feedback on every house he showed us and guided us towards houses that he felt were good fits for what we were looking for. Ben was very professional and we would highly recommend him to any friend or family member!

ZillowVERIFIEDBen was simply amazing with the purchase of our first home. His schedule worked well with ours seeing we need to see houses on nights and weekends. Even when something came up and he couldnt look at houses with us, he offered one of his team members to show houses to us. Thats dedication! He always responded promptly to texts/emails/calls. He had knowledge of the big ticket items in a house like furnaces, hot water heaters, windows, etc. He was practically a mini home inspection real estate agent. He took houses we thought we wanted to see, and made comments on them based on his knowledge of the area, the home itself, etc. It helped us eliminate houses that would have been a waste of time. Our range of cities were very wide but that didnt intimidate Ben. He helped us look all over the west side of Cleveland. As first time home buyers, we felt very comfortable with Ben. He never once made us feel stupid or inferior. When it was time for us to make an offer on a house, he stayed up until after midnight to make sure our offer was set and ready to go. He offered knowledge on bargaining tools as well. Our first offer was accepted and everything went very smoothly. I would most definitely recommend Ben to any of my friends or family looking to purchase or sell their home.

ZillowVERIFIEDI highly recommend Ben as an extremely knowledgeable, professional and courteous real estate professional. After having our house on the market with another Realtor for a year, we signed up with Ben. He sold our house in less than a MONTH! Ben understood our situation and did everything he could to sell our house. He made certain realistic recommendations to us that he knew would help sell our home and it absolutely worked. Ben provided thorough follow up every step of the way and we couldn't have been happier with him. From the professional pictures and description to the ease of closing, Ben was great!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe started looking for our first home to purchase about a year ago and to be honest, we had no idea what we wanted at first. Ben was there every step of the way and never let us "settle" on something we didn't truly want. He was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend him to anyone!

ZillowVERIFIEDBen couldn't have been more prompt, informative or patient during the search for our home. He was very knowledgeable in what seemed to be every facet of the home ownership process and home maintenance. We felt very confident and comfortable with him helping us along from day one until the day we got our keys (and even after he was still answering questions!) With the passion, experience, and knowledge Ben has within the real estate business, we would absolutely recommend him to everyone. Joe & Beth

ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I just purchased our first home and we could not have asked for a better realtor! Buying a home, especially your first home can be very stressful, but Ben was always available to us when we had any questions or needed more explanation on certain aspects of the home buying process. He is also very knowledgeable on home maintenance and repair, and he often pointed out little things that we may have not noticed on our own (he was also present during the home inspection which we really appreciated). All in all, Ben is a great realtor and we would recommend him to anyone!

ZillowVERIFIEDI had just sold my home in Texas and just relocated to Ohio. Ben went above and beyond in locating a home that met all of my expectations. He was available to answer any questions promptly and made it possible to view houses quickly in this time of a competitive market. He makes a big decision very stress free and I am very appreciative of all he has done. Ben Murphy is truly a professional!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe feel that we seriously lucked out by working with Ben to get our very first house. He was incredibly responsive and is the reason why we were able to get our dream home that had multiple offers in a very competitive market. He went above and beyond, answering our calls/texts quickly, talking to the seller's agent constantly and getting everything done at all hours of the day and night. Another thing that was great about Ben is his excellent knowledge of houses. When he showed us properties, he gave us his honest opinion, and even brought a flashlight to check out the house and point out things that were good, but even more importantly, point out the potential flaws as well. He guided us through the entire process, and we couldn't be happier. We highly recommend him. THANK YOU SO MUCH BEN!!!

Review for Member: Ben Murphy
ZillowVERIFIEDBeing a first time home buyer, I was very skeptical and cautious going into the process. I spoke with several realtors before choosing Ben. He was very responsive and straight-forward from the beginning. Being an investor himself, Ben was able to provide insight that I would have never thought about. He was able to look at items in the house and let me know approximately how much they would be to upgrade or fix. He was able to find issues with several houses that I thought were great and stop me from investing my future in a money pit. He was very patient and made sure we got what we wanted, which I'm sure is hard after looking at over 50 houses with one couple. Thanks again, Ben!

I'll definitely recommend Ben to my family and friends!

ZillowVERIFIEDBen was in continuous contact with us throughout the entire buying/selling process. He did a great job helping us get our previous home "show ready", and brought a ton of traffic through via coming soon ads, resulting in 2 offers in 2 weeks. Ben did great negotiating the offers for both our previous and new home and is very knowledgeable about the industry. He was also able to provide useful and honest advice on the structural condition of prospective properties during our search.

ZillowVERIFIEDI was looking for a house and my friend said I have the perfect realtor for you which was Ben Murphy. So the search began and after a year of showing me houses and putting at least 30 bids in we finally found the perfect house for the perfect prices. I loved working with Ben so much I decided to flip houses. Everything Ben does it comes from the heart and he only has your best interest at heart.

ZillowVERIFIEDIt was a pleasure to work with Ben in the purchase of my first home. Combining his knowledge and attention to detail in and out of the home aEUR" including the surroundings - allowed me to feel comfortable and confident in the information he was providing and the decisions I was making. Always making sure my wants and needs were addressed, Ben made what could have been an overwhelmingly stressful experience, an easy and exciting one. I already have, and will continue to recommend Ben to my family, friends, and acquaintances.

ZillowVERIFIEDBen called me on Labor Day, which I thought was excellent customer service. I was in a rush to possibly see a home which I'd found on Sunday. I didn't expect a call or email until Tuesday (when the holiday was over) but he called bright and early to answer all my questions on Monday! The house unfortunately has a pending offer/contract so it won't work out for me but I'll be using Ben as I move forward. He also offered to help me sell my current home when I do find something I like. Keep up the great work Ben! Sam

ZillowVERIFIEDBen was amazing ! Any time we wanted to see a house he was able to get us in. He was very honest and helped us look at all aspects of the house. He's experience in the market allowed him to also give us great advice on many different things. He listened to our needs and wants in a home. We had worked with other agents who were pushy and didn't take out needs and wants to in to consideration and wanted to push us in to a higher price range. Ben spent over 30 minutes on the phone with me the first time we spoke listening to what we were looking for and where. He was always available whether it was email, phone or text and always got back to us right away. This was our first home purchase and he helped make the process as easy and stress free as it could be. He was very honest, up front and personable. He was also able to recommend a great inspector who taught us a lot. We would recommend Ben to anyone and everyone looking to purchase or sell a home ! We are so thankful for all of his help!

ZillowVERIFIEDBen advertised my home well on the internet. He was easy to reach and responded quickly to various issues. Much of the contracting was done via the internet rather than in person or faxing of documents which was very convenient for me. My home sold within 3 months. I was very satisfied with the services Ben provided and will recommend him and Howard Hanna to others. CC

ZillowVERIFIEDI have purchase 2 houses with Ben Murphy and he is by far the best Realtor I have ever worked with. His knowledge of markets and trends set me up to get 2 great houses at great prices! Being int he biz, I can tell you that I have worked with many Realtors and there are a lot of duds our there that want the same more than anything else. Ben always puts your best interest first and he is one of the few that truly do that for every buyer and seller. I would not hesitate to refer any of my friends or family to Ben.

ZillowVERIFIEDI cannot say enough about Ben Murphy and how helpful he was as our realtor, especially being that it was the first time for my fiance and I. After speaking with Ben and letting him know what our needs were, he did a great job of finding houses that fit our budget and overall wants.We had many questions throughout the processes of looking at homes, applying for loans, as well as the loan and closing process. He was able to answer all of our questions in a timely manner, and even though he was going through the same process with 4-5 other buyers, he still made time to make sure our questions were answered. When we were looking at homes, Ben was very knowledgeable and would get his hands dirty looking at certain parts if need be. This was huge as some houses appeared like solid candidates, but Ben found some items that were major flaws and would've needed serious repair.My fiance and I recommend Ben to anyone looking at buying a new home, as we will definitely use his services, if we ever move that is. He has plenty of experience and has also done a lot of work to homes, so not only do you get a seasoned realtor but also someone that knows the type of work needed to complete certain projects.
