I cannot speak highly enough of the advice given before going to market , the marketing process itself and finally getting an unconditional sale at 10% above the CV in a market where achieving the CV appears to be unusual. I have no hesitation in recommending Ben as your real estate agent.
Ben ran a great marketing campaign on the property with hugely effective advertising which led us to the home of ours dreams we didn't even realise we had been searching for! The staging of the house was excellent and really showed the true potential of the property. Everything was on point from the gardens to the furniture used to showcase the features of the home. For us it was love at first sight. Thanks to Ben for making the whole process as stress free as going to auction could possibly be. A great result for us as the buyer - our dream home - I would recommend Ben 100%!
My experience with Ben was very good especially on communication. Every time I called for an update or query, Ben would answer straight away or would return the call very quickly. Ben has excellent knowledge of Real Estate in particular in the local market in which he can quote latest sale outcomes as well as how different Open Homes performed. I have no hesitation in recommending Ben to anybody considering selling.
We met Ben at an open home he was running in our area, not having any fixed plan to list our property for sale at that time. From then he kept communications open with us on activity in the area, just as a casual update process really. When we did list some months later he didn't get the job but he showed great humility, professionalism and support for our decision and endeavors regardless. Ultimately that campaign didn't yield a positive outcome for us so we contacted him and asked him to pitch to us. He did, very professionally, and we could see some new ideas and thoughts that others had not considered. We decided to list with him and from the outset he was professional, diligent, creative and fully engaged with us. Things moved quite quickly and there was constant communication from him about progress with all respects of setting up the campaign, running it and dealing with the inevitable curve balls that appear on the way through. We had agreed to an auction programme and we could see he was doing everything he could to get buyers. The net result was a successful auction and we couldn't be happier. Ben remained fully engaged with us post auction, through the pre- settlement inspection and handover process and remains in contact still just to touch base and say hi. Apart from Ben's strong performance we were also acutely aware of the painstaking attention to detail that he and his company demonstrated throughout to make sure our experience with Ray White would be a happy and rewarding one. Thank you Ben for the work you and your team put in to make the sale of our home a reality with the least amount of stress possible.
I recently sold a property at auction with the help of Ben and his Team, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. I had been planning to sell for two years, and throughout that time, Ben consistently kept in touch, offering support and advice. When the time came to sell, he was right there for me. Initially, I had no confidence in selling my house in such a quiet market and doubted it could be sold at auction. However, Ben was incredibly confident, assuring me that over 80% of his properties were sold at auction, even in the toughest market conditions. Ben and his team specialize in selling properties like mine and have a unique market data tracking method. They knew exactly how to run the best marketing campaign and attract the most potential buyers to the open home. Ben ensured that every marketing investment yielded the highest return. Additionally, Ben and his team were highly organized and prompt in responding to all my messages. Their professionalism and dedication made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Ben and the Ryken team to anyone looking to sell their property.
Yet another successful sale with Ben! His patience, expertise and in depth knowledge has once again shone through for us and delivered a great result. Thanks Ben - until the next one!
My husband and I haven't had the best experience with agents previous to Ben so we were pretty picky this time but from the first meeting with Ben we could tell he was different. He had a really genuine and calm demeanour and one that not only made us feel at ease but also knew it would put our buyers at ease too. He was incredibly knowledgable, well organised and had great communication and got us the price we wanted in a very uncertain property market. We can't recommend Ben enough and would definitely choose him again without hesitation.
It was a pleasure to have Ben represent us as your sales agent recently. Ben's communication was very clear and honest, and he was friendly and down to earth. Our situation included some additional challenges, and Ben took it all in his stride. He is knowledgable and did his research to answer our questions. We were delighted to get a great result, and readily recommend Ben to others.
Choosing Ben Ryken to market and sell my home was an excellent decision. His professionalism, availability, solution focused approach, and work ethic resulted in a successful sale. His market knowledge was honest and realistic and I trusted in his experience, communication skills and ability to deliver. A difficult situation was handled With great skill and led to an excellent outcome. I will continue to recommend Ben To my friends. Thank you Ben.
Ben is an exceptional sales agent. From the outset, he provided valuable advice and connected us with the right people to prepare our home for the market. His attention to detail and hands-on approach ensured that nothing was overlooked, making the process as smooth as possible. Throughout the campaign Ben did all he could to attract the right buyers. He maintained excellent communication, keeping us well-informed without overwhelming us with unnecessary details. Negotiating the sale came with its challenges, particularly due to some unique aspects of our property. Ben handled these complexities with professionalism and perseverance, ensuring issues were addressed swiftly and effectively. His experience and problem-solving skills were evident, and we felt confident in his ability to secure the best possible outcome. While the process wasn’t entirely stress-free, Ben’s dedication and expertise made a significant difference. His commitment to achieving a great result was clear and we appreciated his hard work. We highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, hardworking and results-driven agent. His professionalism, persistence, and excellent communication set him apart, and we wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again in the future.
From the very first meeting with Ben we were extremely impressed! Ben took the time to share his extensive knowledge of the area, recent sales stats and best ways in which to market our home. He did this all while knowing we were not yet committed to selling. At no time throughout the process did we feel pressured by Ben to sell. When we made the decision to go ahead and list he gave sensible, practical suggestions of what we could do in order to best present our home. He was realistic of our budget and timing and again, there was no pressure, simply recommendations. The marketing and selling process was stress free. Ben managed the open homes with the same professionalism he had shown from the beginning. He shared feedback from each open home in a timely manner. As first time sellers we were incredibly nervous come auction day but Ben’s calm. reassuring approach helped us feel comfortable and confident. He supported us through the negotiating process following the highest bid after auction. A couple of days following the auction he secured a sale at a price we were happy with. We would highly recommend Ben to anyone looking to sell their home. Should we ever be selling again in the future we would not hesitate to have Ben as our agent.
As Ben says, you have to trust the process. In a challenging market we had over 80 inspections, 6 bidders and achieved more than 15% above the CV. A result that was incredibly impressive
