Client Comments

"Ben was the most amazing real estate representative -- if it wasn't for his tenacity and communication skills we would not have our dream home!  We were in a multiple offer situation and Ben guided us through it with ease and skillful negotiation.  By keeping in constant communication with us and the listing agent he was able to build a relationship that we simply would have not received with another agent.  He went beyond our expectations and continues to do so even after the purchase was finalized."

About Ben

If you're looking for a professional real estate broker who's an expert in the greater Seattle real estate market, then Ben is at your service! He's a Seattle native who moved back home in 1986 after traveling around the country and abroad. Since then, he has helped many folks buy, improve, and sell their homes and commercial/investment properties. He's also done the same with his own homes and multifamily properties. In his off time he makes sure to enjoy life by flying around the state (he's a pilot), designing and building fine furniture, playing shutterbug and checking out new restaurants and nightspots.

Why use his services? Buying or selling real estate is the biggest financial transaction most people ever make. Having Ben help makes the difference between buying a ho-hum dwelling or something that's truly a "wow." For sellers, it means getting a notch more for your property as quickly as possible through expert marketing and negotiating. There are LOTS of pitfalls along the way where buyers and sellers can get into trouble if they're not well-versed in real estate transactions, and Ben's there to make sure that you never get close to any of those. Ben's an associate broker (more experience and certification than most agents) who's well respected in the real estate community for being thorough, professional and responsive. How does he help you?

• Working at your pace. Whether you want to buy in a few months, a few weeks, or a few days, he devotes the time to help you find the place that's right for you.
• Giving you the information you need to confidently make decisions. He provides you with expert information about the process and the market, clearly and concisely. You'll know the right price to ask or offer and Ben can help you develop a negotiating strategy.
• Communication, communication, communication. Getting the best house for your money or selling quickly requires great communication between you and your agent. Ben touches base with his clients daily (unless you prefer otherwise) and updates you with any new information such as new listings or potential buyers for your home. He returns calls promptly and is easy to get in touch with in person or by phone, e-mail, and fax.
• Following through. Finding the right home to buy or person to buy your home is only half the work. With you, Ben coordinates and tracks the rest of the work, including title, escrow, inspections, work orders, and financing that must happen on strict timelines in order for your purchase or sale to close successfully.
• Placing his resources at your disposal. Over the years, Ben has developed a team of reliable professionals that he can refer you to if needed. These include lenders, inspectors, title & escrow, and a wide range of contractors and handypersons.
• Respecting your time. Buying or selling involves a lot of processes, paperwork, and coordination. Ben saves you time by doing most of the legwork for you and keeping perfectly up to date with the current real estate market.

Get prepared and get started! If you're considering buying or selling your home or commercial/investment property, give Ben a call. He likes to get together with folks he hasn't worked with before at a local coffee shop, his office or your home. That way you can get to know each other, talk about the real estate market and the buying and selling process, and decide whether Ben's the right person to help you with your real estate needs. If you're a few months out, he's happy to meet with you now to answer questions and help develop financial strategies for buying a home, or offer suggestions for getting top dollar when the time comes for you to sell.
