Ben is a highly skilled and knowledgeable real estate agent. After working with him for 6 months and purchasing a house with Ben as my agent, I can without a doubt recommend Ben at the highest level and I would absolutely use him again for purchasing or selling my home. Being very good at research and understanding of markets myself, I never really believed in the value of an agent. Ben completely changed my perspective on this as he masterfully understood what I was good at, and then complemented it perfectly in ways that I wasn't strong -- in particular with understanding of construction (cost of repairs / what repairs needed), things to look for -- including the area (so things like code violations, ability to make landscaping changes, etc), and more. Ben also ultimately made my deal happen. Through a listing of his, he found a buyer (of his other listing) that had a house that he thought we would love. Once he identified this potential opportunity and verified that we would be interested, he masterfully brought the deal to fruition. I think Ben is excellent in areas that matter such as area knowledge and negotiation skills. But there are some specific things that really impressed me with Ben. Perceptiveness When I was looking for an agent, I never would have thought that I would value this trait. Specifically, Ben understood what my wife and I were looking for and I could always trust his judgement of a place. This was very helpful as I was not living in the area at the time. Additionally, Ben was always able to read my wife and I, and ultimately the seller as well, to understand how we were feeling about things -- and then he did the right thing to address it. For example, I had some hesitancy after inspections as a number of things we didn't anticipate popped up. Ben proactively addressed it and made it good before I even had to really say anything to him. On the seller side, he knew the seller didn't want to be heavily involved, so Ben himself paid for certain things to keep things moving - such as the roof getting cleaned so inspections could happen. He just knew the right thing to do at the time and did it. Honesty I genuinely think Ben is a good person and wants to do right by all. In my case he was both buyer and seller agent for the deal. Ben never once told me more than he should have as seller agent -- which gave me high confidence that he was doing the same with the seller. He told it straight and was honest on both sides of the deal. Ben is very well connected as well in the area. Every inspector, mortgage broker, and attorney I spoke with knew Ben and always had great things to say about him. He really has a great reputation in the area. There is a reason Ben does some of the most deals in the area. He is knowledgeable in all the appropriate areas he should be, he is honest and a good person, and he is perceptive enough to know exactly what needs to be done or said at the right time -- and he does it.
