"In addition to helping me find my dream home, Ben helped mitigate my stress throughout the process. He is patient, genuinely kind, and is extremely knowledgeable. There were several moments I felt overwhelmed and even just a quick 5 minute call helped me feel at ease. He knows the market well, is attentive to what you’re looking for and will give you his honest feedback if a place doesn’t seem like a good fit. I highly recommend him!

"We just closed on our dream home in San Diego and working with Ben was awesome. After putting offers on several houses and missing out due to this crazy market, we thought it might not happen. Ben devised a strategy that got us under contract on our amazing house by beating out 25 other offers that all came in within two days of the house hitting the market. Through the escrow process Ben guided us along every step and went to bat for us during some of the later negotiation phases. I can’t say enough about his professionalism and would recommend him to any family members looking to make a real estate purchase.

"I can't recommend Ben enough! As a first-time homebuyer, I was a bit overwhelmed by the process. Ben really helped walk me through it. He showed me a ton of properties that met my criteria, and was patient as the criteria had to be amended throughout our search together. He was able to utilize his Compass network and proved me with early access on a gem of a property, and then was instrumental in getting all the details worked out during the negotiation to finalize the deal. Throughout it all, Ben was so incredibly helpful and made the process so much easier!!

"When we first met Ben, we told him that we weren’t in a hurry to find a home, that it could be a year or more until we were “ready.” He still looked for appropriate properties for us that met our criteria, and winnowed the choices out as he got to know our tastes better. He was always on time for our appointments and unfailingly receptive to our comments. The one time he WAS behind schedule due to circumstances he gave us enough of a heads up that we were able to make the change with our schedule so that we could still meet up. Once we found the property that we ultimately wanted, Ben unceasingly went to bat for us with seller negotiations, getting info we requested from the property management company, etc. He was a dream to work with and I am so happy our paths crossed. His kindness, persistence and professionalism make him unique.

"Consulted me on buying or selling a home in Point Loma Heights, San Diego, CA 92106.
Enthusiastic, honest and hardworking family man. Ben has an electric personality that immediately engages everyone. I feel like I have known him for years and the truth is we met shortly after moving to San Diego in July 2017. Ben listens carefully and what you see is what you get. He desires the best outcome for everyone even if there is no personal gain for himself. Ben asks questions and he will tell the truth. As a real estate agent, I know he’s hardworking and will hunt down the facts for clients to make a sound decision. I wish I had known Ben when I bought property years ago!

"I could not recommend Ben higher. I'm really big on transparency, authenticity, groundedness (that's a word, right?) and of course strong communication skills. I try to only work with people that embody these attributes and Ben certainly does. We all know there are many realtors to choose from and with the ability to get info so easily on this site and others I think what makes a great agent is of course local expertise and negotiation skills, but how about guidance throughout the process? That's huge. Buying a home is such a big step, and involves alot of emotions, fear being one of them and working with someone like Ben that can help me to find clarity and make the right decisions. Even if that decision is holding off or deciding to rent for another year. That's when you know you have a good agent on your side, when there is no pressure and they are still in your corner to help even if it means not getting a sale in the immediate future. I think it is rare to find an agent like Ben that approaches his clients this way and I am very thankful I got connected to him when I did.
