Get to Know Ben
Hi, I'm Ben, a dedicated real estate professional with a passion for helping clients achieve their homeownership dreams. Since 2015, I've guided over 300 individuals and families through the buying and selling process, consistently going the extra mile to ensure a smooth and successful experience. I thrive on negotiating the best possible deals for my clients, and I'm committed to exceeding expectations every step of the way.
My clients often describe me as professional, genuine, patient, and positive – qualities I strive to embody in every interaction. As one client shared, "Ben takes the time to carefully listen to what you want in a home and goes above and beyond to find you that home." I'm truly passionate about understanding your unique needs and working tirelessly to help you reach your real estate goals.
On a personal note, I'm blessed with an amazing wife, Jess, and four wonderful kids: Owen, Landon, Mason, and Emery! When I'm not helping clients, you'll likely find me enjoying the outdoors with my family, cheering on my kids' sports teams (I also coach!), or volunteering at our church. We love playing sports and games together – basically, any opportunity to connect and have fun!

“Ben was an amazing realtor he helped me and my family find the perfect home. He was attentive to our needs and never left us waiting for response we couldn't ask for a better realtor.”
“Ben was amazing! Ben always communicated and kept us informed with each step in process. Ben was very reliable, quick to respond, honest, and extremely helpful. While also being kind and professional, he helped us buy our home for less than asking price in very hot market. My husband and I definitely recommend him to our friends and family!”
“ We had another realtor before we went to Ben and it always felt like that other realtor was more about the sale than he was in helping us find the perfect home. With Ben, it was the opposite. It was always about us and the sale wasn't going to happen unless it was the perfect home for us. You would be hard- pressed to find a better buyer's agent!”
"Ben was such a pleasure to work with! Being a first time homeowner, Ben explained the process thoroughly and thoughtfully, was ready to help anytime, and made the experience so enjoyable! He goes above and beyond! I'd highly recommend working with Ben!"
"Ben was great to work with. Very easy going and well organized. Definitely the guy to call if your looking to buy or sell a home. He was well rehearsed/experienced in the art of negotiating a proper offer."
"A real pleasure to work with! Ben was professional and approachable. He was very patient and offered thoughtful input on all the houses he showed us. We now have our dream home thanks to him!"
