About Ben

Company Owner and lead Salesperson, Ben Robertson decided to take a break from Real Estate in 2020 to focus on his own residential and commercial properties, having been personal assistant and sales agent to one of Gisborne’s leading Agents for the past 3 years. However, this is not where Ben’s career begun, starting out in 2010 in Christchurch he quickly learnt to navigate a tough market, then the Christchurch Earthquakes hit bringing another whole set of challenges which helped Ben to devise and strategize creative ways to help homeowners who still needed to sell. Carving out a niche in listing difficult or unusual homes to sell, Ben’s career took him throughout New Zealand selling & buying properties while building a strong network he would later rely on to benefit his clients. Moving to Gisborne after a few more years and experience within the industry Ben joined a leading local Real Estate Team and quickly rose to number 1 salesperson in his first year lamenting his skills and ability to be able to listen first, devise a strong plan and action it to ensure his clients are given the best chance of success from day one. While trying to purchase his family home in 2023, Ben realised how difficult and complex it had become to navigate through the real estate landscape and decided it should be and could be better. Starting his own Real Estate Company at 35, Ben has the unique benefit of being part of a generation that understands the importance of your word is your bond, but also embraces the latest technology to help ensure a seamless experience for those who partner with him to achieve their real estate goals. Ben Says “…Real Estate is no longer about just selling the house. In order to truly do the best by the client is to understand what they are trying to achieve in the long run. When you can see the whole picture, you can devise a strategy and plan that aligns with that picture. It can be the difference between a successful, enjoyable experience or not.”

One very credible young man

We were purchasers of a home Ben was acting for the Vendor - I can honestly say that from the very first meeting we felt like WE were the clients. He took time with us oldies, we sat down and were very relaxed and very much informed about the property. He ensured his vendor was well informed and we were too. His offsider Lorraine was there when Ben wasn't and we thank her too. Every step of our journey as purchasers was made so much easier because of Ben's total commitment to being friendly, professional, looking out for us all. We would not hesitate to sing his praises and we are. we at the unconditional stage however, I am sure that once we are firmly ensconced in our home in February 2025 we will be equally as happy with our decision to purchase. Please do not leave gissie as we need more of your charming disposition and "on to it" factor with your realtor expertise. Nga mihi nui ki a koe e hoa.

Outstanding

Ben helped us from start to finish, literally. We brought these properties with him 5years ago and now sold them with him. His knowledge across all things real estate and property is phenomenal. He went the extra mile, and no job was too big or small which made us being from out of town so much more manageable.

Expert Guidance and Exceptional Service

We recently had the pleasure of working with Ben Robertson on the journey to buying our first home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning. Ben was incredibly supportive, and knowledgeable, and went above and beyond. As first-time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions and concerns. Ben was always patient and took the time to explain every step of the process, making sure we felt comfortable and confident in our decisions. His expertise and attention to detail were evident in every interaction, from the initial consultations to the final closing. Thanks to Ben’s flexibility and dedication, we found our dream home and the entire process was smooth and hassle-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent, and we are incredibly grateful for his help and support. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and trustworthy real estate agent who will go the extra mile, we highly recommend Ben Robertson! Thank you, Ben, for making our home-buying journey such a positive and memorable experience!
