About Ben

I take a highly client focused approach and thrive on working one on one with people to deliver outstanding results. Real estate is about more than putting a deal together it’s about strategy, strong negotiation, and providing a level of service that creates real value. Dedicated, disciplined, and driven are qualities people often use to describe me, balanced with an easy going approach that makes the process enjoyable. As the in house auctioneer for Harcourts Advantage Realty, I have a strong belief in the auction process and know how to run a competitive, high impact campaign designed to maximise buyer interest and achieve the best possible result. My approach is built on putting people first, understanding exactly what my clients need, and then executing a strategy to get them there. Whether you’re a first home buyer, investor, downsizer, or selling a premium property, I’m committed to making the process seamless, stress-free, and focused on one thing, achieving the strongest possible outcome for you.

Efficient and BS free- very easy.

Easily my best experience with an agent, super switched on and efficient, replied even when I wasn’t expecting them to get back to me til later, understood everything on first take and worked really hard for me and their client. Will be my go to if I’m selling in future.

Buyer review
Felt misled and unsupported as a first-home buyer.

Felt misled and unsupported as a first-home buyer.

As a first-home buyer purchasing on my own, I expected clear communication, care and follow-through. Unfortunately, I felt unsupported and taken advantage of during and after this purchase. Before settlement, I repeatedly raised concerns about a noticeable smell throughout the property. It was agreed in the sale and purchase agreement that the home would receive a full deep clean and professional carpet clean before I moved in. The vendors and agent had weeks to arrange this, yet it was left until the day of settlement. What was completed appeared to be a quick wipe-down and mop rather than the thorough deep clean agreed to. I was later told that a clean carried out months earlier was considered sufficient, which did not reflect the condition of the home at settlement or what had been negotiated. After moving in, I discovered further issues, including a bathroom extraction fan that was not working and did not remove steam, as well as a non working heat pump, the home remaining unusually cold despite it being run constantly. These were significant issues I would have expected to be identified, disclosed or addressed before settlement. I also later became aware of concerning information about a previous renter, who has had reports of methamphetamine use - (and which ben stated it was owner occupied but it was not.) Once the sale was completed, I felt there was very little interest in helping resolve these issues, despite the agreed cleaning terms not being properly fulfilled. As a young, single first-home buyer, I relied heavily on the professionals involved and expected stronger advocacy and transparency. The process may have been efficient in getting the sale completed, but my overall experience left me feeling that completing the transaction mattered more than ensuring I received the property in the condition agreed. I would not recommend this agent to another first-home buyer who needs careful guidance and genuine post-sale support.

Ben is our dream come true maker😍

Ben is our dream come true maker😍

As first-home buyers, we had a lot of doubts and lacked experience throughout the process. Ben understood all of that and supported us tremendously from the beginning. I strongly believe that the reason we were able to secure this house was because of Ben. He was extremely professional in his approach, communicated clearly at every stage, and always stood by us with genuine support. He especially helped us a lot during the auction process, which made a huge difference for us. Ben is truly a reliable and professional agent, and I would confidently recommend him to anyone.

Seller review
Excellent service with fast turnaround!

Excellent service with fast turnaround!

Working with Ben was a dream! We were nervous about selling our home whilst being out of the country but Ben made the process so easy for us. He was excellent at keeping in touch and giving us regular updates. His ability to turn the process around from listing to sale as quickly as he did, in a tough market was amazing. Can’t recommend him enough. Thanks so much Ben!
