When my husband and I decided to embark on our journey to purchase a home, I knew Ben would be the perfect fit. As first-time homebuyers, his guidance was invaluable. He was patient, remarkably knowledgeable, and consistently thorough in addressing our questions (and we had plenty of them as newcomers to the real estate market). He took the time to truly get to know us and what we were seeking in a home. He went the extra mile with comprehensive follow-ups after each interaction, ensuring we were well-informed. One of the memorable moments was how he assisted in our pre-approval process, resolving any issues and utilizing his extensive connections to make it possible. Purchasing a home in such a competitive market was daunting, but Ben provided unwavering support throughout the process and used his expertise to put our minds at ease. Ben is a pro in negotiations and got us into our dream home for 50K below asking price, which I didn't think was possible in today's market. Whether you're a first-time buyer or an experienced one, his knowledge, dedication to your success, and his pressure-free approach are unmatched. He made our dreams of homeownership a reality, and we couldn't be happier. Thank you so much, Ben! 5 stars all the way! read more

Dealt with Ben on multiple transactions and he's very professional and supportive and knowledgeable about the market in San Diego

My fiancé and I bought a house in April 2021 in San Diego. We were first-time home buyers competing for houses in a crazy competitive market. Adding to that, I'm a huge data nerd. I knew my house would be my largest investment to date, so I wanted all of the information I could get my hands on - comparables (comps), neighborhood info, potential renovation costs, etc. Before our first house showing, Ben provided us with was a comp sheet of the most recent home sales in the neighborhoods we were interested in. This gave us the confidence we needed to enter the market. It's difficult to understate how difficult it was being a buyer at the time. All homes received 8 or more offers. Almost every house we looked at entered into contract within 3 to 4 days. Relying on data from just 2 months prior would lead to invalid expectations. I'm a big believer that you see who a person really is when times are difficult. I highly recommend Ben because he was the utmost professional throughout it all. He was incredibly responsive. He fed my appetite for market data : ). During every house showing, he would point out potential repair / inspection issues that we didn't notice as first timers. After every house showing, we would huddle up to provide feedback and strategize. Most importantly, when it was time to put in an offer, he was always on the ball. I'm writing the review from my new house knowing that we wouldn't be here without Ben's help. Save yourself some time and reach out to Ben. read more

We've followed Ben for a long time and watched him help countless buyers and sellers, all of them very happy to have worked with him. So when we decided to start toeing the idea of moving to a new home, he was our first choice. Ben was super easy to talk to, always positive, and his consistent communication and response times were unparalleled. He was available to see places on short notice and made us feel like we were his only clients. He personally wanted to find the right house for us, not just any house. He also worked with us to come up with creative ways to work our financing to facilitate the most options and the least headache for a "contingency" move. We will be happily recommending him to our friends. read more

He helped set my expectations at the very beginning. Offered information as to how I could best find what I was looking for.

Once I managed to get an offer accepted he was always there to track down information for me - reaching out to whomever he needed to make sure nothing went missing. read more

My husband and I are Air Force Veterans and we were so eager to settle down after separating the military. We met many realtors and went to several open houses. We weren't feeling great until we walked into an open house and met Ben. We knew immediately that we wanted him as a realtor. He wasn't pushy, and his great personality, professionalism, knowledge of the market, and immediate responses gave us hope. He found us a beautiful home in the same week that wasn't even the listed yet. The entire process was so easy working with him. He even represented both the seller and us in the process. Best decision we ever made. He made our dreams a reality. Best realtor in San Diego! read more

We worked with Ben to find our dream starter home in the beginning of 2021. In a wild market, Ben was the perfect guide toward finding our spot in San Diego. We could probably write an essay on "why choose Ben", but here are just a few highlights. 1. Ben consistently goes above and beyond to educate us on all things house hunting, like walking through line by line of a contract or educating us on the trends and industry standards of home buying. Ben embraced our questions, always excited to help us learn and find what's perfect for us. 2. Beyond educating, Ben's availability throughout was incredible. From racing to a same day showing in a competitive market, quick responses via call/text as questions came up, and always communicating when offers were in. Couldn't have asked for more from Ben! 3. Ben's patience was unmatched. He consistently reminded us that things took time and he would work to find the perfect home for us. This patience allowed us to find what was right for us, paired with Ben's expertise on what might not have been the best deal and what was a San Diego gem. 4. Ben is the ultimate advocate. As a well respected and connected member of the real estate community, Ben formed strong relationships with everyone we met along the way, giving us the upper hand in offers. In a competitive market, this made all the difference. 5. Even after settling into our home, Ben has a been continual support system. Not sure we would have ever figured out our sprinkler system without him! Helping us through all the newness of homeownership, we couldn't be more grateful. It's clear he is an expert in every way. We really couldn't say enough good things about Ben. He worked tirelessly and enthusiastically to find us our cozy SD spot and we will recommend him to anyone looking to find theirs. read more

Chris and I met Ben at an open house when we were looking to purchase a home in San Diego. We were immediately drawn to his warm personality and were impressed with his knowledge of the area and overall approach to real estate. He was aware of the ins and outs of many neighborhoods, yet didn't push us in any direction, which we really appreciated. Within days we started our home search with Ben, and within weeks were in the the closing process. Throughout, we felt Ben was personally invested in our search for the right home. He went above and beyond in educating us about each step of the buying process, thoroughly reviewing all documents on our behalf, and putting in his due-diligence to ensure a smooth process. Our happiness was his number one priority and he exceeded our expectations at every turn. His commitment to open and honest communication with the seller is perfect. He is incredibly organized and a lot of fun to work with. We love our new home, and can't thank Ben enough for everything he did! read more
