Ben Lastra

​ ★★★★★
"I've worked with Ben Lastra multiple times, totaling 4 transactions now and I absolutely wouldn't consider using any other realtor at this point. Not only is he great at his job but he treats you like family along the way. Buying/Selling a house can be extremely stressful, Ben does a great job at taking as much stress out of it as he can." - Anthony Goude

"Ben Lastra helped us search for and purchase our first house and we felt so lucky to have him on our team! Going into the process of buying our first home was overwhelming, but Ben made it easy and made us feel confident in our decision. My husband and I moved to Charlotte a few months ago so our knowledge of all the neighborhoods was limited. Ben has an incredible knowledge of the Charlotte area and helped us figure out which areas to look in to keep us within our budget and but appeal to our lifestyle. Most of the homes we were looking at were older homes that had been renovated. He walked through every home single that we were interested in and pointed out both the good and the more concerning areas. His knowledge of these types of properties helped us feel confident that we were buying a well updated house and that there would be limited surprises after purchasing. Ben truly cares about his clients and I cannot recommend him enough!" - B. Baumstark

"Working with Ben was an absolute gift. He is a consummate professional, well connected and versed in the community and industry. His positive, familial demeanor and guidance make you instantly feel like he is a trusted friend and advisor. He was patient, kind, knowledgeable, and in constant communication as we searched for our home. I can't imagine a better home buying experience and would recommend Ben to anyone with real estate needs. I look forward to referring my family and friends to him as he is just the best!!" - K.

"This was the second time working with Ben. The first time was as first time home buyers then this was selling that home. Ben was great! He walked us through the whole process and answered all our questions. The whole process was seamless and I would highly recommend Ben for anyone buying or selling a home." - KC S

"Ben is absolutely amazing to work with! He helped us buy our first home over 5 years ago and we didn't think twice about asking him to guide us to our next home. Ben worked hard to make sure that we were in love with the house we found today and made the process so smooth. We could not have asked for a better realtor and friend than him. We were also able to quickly sell our home with Ben representing us, and we had multiple offers over list! Ben is truly an amazing person and will work to get you into the home of your dreams! Thank you, again, Ben for your passion and presence in this industry! We love working with you!" - Janna G

"Ben went above and beyond for us with the purchase of our first home! He is very experienced & knowledgeable when it comes to real estate and knowing the surrounding Charlotte area. He is fun, personable and professional all in one - he is not just our realtor, but also our friend! As a homebuyer, you will have multiple questions and feel as if you are on an emotional rollercoaster, but Ben helped make us feel relaxed. Communication is key to us, and he was there with all the answers in a timely manner. We highly recommend Ben to anyone and everyone to use as an agent, I promise you will have a 10/10 experience!" - Leah C

★★★★★
"Ben went above and beyond for us, and then he went a little further. We could not have asked for a better agent, and really a better friend, to guide us through the process of buying our first home. Ben is incredibly knowledgeable about the home buying process in both North and South Carolina - he is able to use that knowledge to give you an edge over the market, and give you insights you wouldn’t otherwise get from an average agent. We learned so much about the home buying process. Ben took the time to teach us about the important aspects of writing offers, what to look for in a home and, perhaps most importantly, which home would be a genuinely good fit for us and our needs. Ben is the agent who feels like family, and acts like it too. We’re so grateful he was on our team. "

★★★★★
"Our experience with Ben was excellent. Ben knows the industry well. He had all of the processes lined up and completed to allow a rapid offer, negotiation, and close on a home that we loved. Ben’s efforts and knowledge were critical in the fast paced Carolinas housing market. We highly recommend Ben Lastra and his team."

★★★★★
"Erin and I are very thankful that we met Ben early on in our home buying journey. We knew we were in good hands right from our initial walk through. Ben was very knowledgeable of the neighborhood and the entire area. He walked us through every step of the process and made sure we were 100% comfortable with the decisions that needed to be made from the first time we saw the home all the way through closing. Ben made himself available every time we reached out, even after hours, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Being new to the home buying process, we could not have asked for a better, smoother experience. We would highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a new home. We will be using him again in the future."

★★★★★
"Ben has been a dream to work with. He was recommended to us by a close friend and I'm so glad he was! He worked with us every step of the way from setting up showings and viewings, to helping us know what to expect for the home inspection for the house we were selling in another state. Ben worked with our personality types to determine the best location to fit our needs and wants. When it came to showings and viewings, he went above and beyond. At one point as Covid-19 was ramping up, he went to a showing by himself and face timed us to allow us the ability to see the home without risk. He made the home buying process easy, he was very responsive, always on time, and was very, very personable. I would totally have a drink with him."

★★★★★
"Working with Ben Lastra was a phenomenal experience. He expertly guided us through the process of buying and selling simultaneously. Professional, experienced, positive and fun are just a few words I would use to describe Ben! We would and have already recommended him and the Andy Bovender team to many friends and family." - Allie H.

★★★★★
"Ben was incredible to work with in selling our home! We thought selling our home was going to be extremely stressful, however he handled the entire process and made it a seamless one for our family. Ben outlined a clear marketing strategy for our home and executed it perfectly. Through his vision we went under contract on the same weekend we listed! Not only did we sell our home quicker than expected, but Ben was also able to get us multiple above asking offers! Our friends that we've referred have also had a great experience! Ben continues to check in on our family after we've closed. If you're in the market for a realtor... there's nobody that will look after you and your best interests like Ben."

★★★★★
"Truly the best in the Carolinas and our "go to" for all referral clients heading South. Knowledgeable, honest and true experts! Call them!" - Francie Malina (Westchester, NY)
