About
I grew up in these mountains, I bought my first house here, and I’ve spent the last decade helping my neighbors do the same.
I grew up in North Lake Tahoe — the kind of place where everyone knew which houses were for sale before the signs went up. I came down to Reno for college at UNR and never really left. In 2012 I got my real estate license and spent my first few years selling new construction for a local builder. That work taught me the bones of a house: what’s actually expensive to fix, what’s cosmetic, and what to walk away from. In 2016 I earned my broker’s license.
Since then I’ve represented buyers and sellers across Reno, Sparks, Carson City, and the Lake Tahoe basin — first-time buyers stretching into their first home, families relocating from California, and longtime owners finally cashing out. My job isn’t to close the next deal. It’s to give you the advice I’d give my own brother. Sometimes that means not buying the house. Most of my best clients came from other clients telling them to call me — which is the only real metric I care about.
A 30-minute conversation about your timeline, budget, and what “a win” looks like for you.
A custom brief on the specific neighborhoods, price bands, and properties that fit.
Private showings, off-market leads, and honest feedback on every property we see.
I represent you at the table. No shortcuts, no dual-agent games.
Inspection, escrow, walkthrough — and I pick up the phone long after closing.
EXCELLENT Based on 24 reviews Posted on Tyler FTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ben was awesome to work with throughout the entire home buying process. He made everything feel stress-free and kept me informed every step of the way. You can tell how much passion he has for helping people get into their homes. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy!Posted on Danny McHughTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have sold 6 houses in my lifetime. Ben is by far the best realtor of all of them. He made some great recommendations that we used to sell our house. It went on the market Thursday and by Sunday we had 4 offers two of them cash. Need I say more?Posted on Todd BonnetTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a pleasure working closely with Ben on a high‑value investor transaction. From a lender’s perspective he was exceptionally knowledgeable, organized, and timely with documents and inspections. His steady communication and attention to detail kept the process moving smoothly and ensured an on‑time closing. I look forward to collaborating with Ben again and supporting his buyers in future transactions.Posted on Lindsey SilerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We truly cannot say enough good things about Ben. From start to finish, he went above and beyond for our family in every possible way. Buying and selling a home can be stressful, but he made the entire process feel manageable, clear, and even exciting. What sets Ben apart is not just his deep knowledge of the market or his attention to detail (both of which are exceptional), but the genuine care he brings to his clients. He advocated for us, communicated constantly, anticipated issues before they became problems, and always made sure we felt informed and supported. Having him as our realtor was invaluable. He treated our home and our goals as if they were his own, and that level of dedication is rare. We are so grateful for his guidance, professionalism, and heart throughout this journey. If you’re looking for a realtor who is trustworthy, hardworking, and truly invested in your success, Ben is the one. We wouldn’t recommend anyone else.Posted on Katrina PrintupTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an exceptional experience working with Ben, who demonstrated outstanding integrity and professionalism from the very beginning. We called him because he was the listing agent of a house we were interested in. Since he was representing the seller, he was completely transparent and immediately referred us to his partner Jena to ensure we had proper, unbiased representation. That level of honesty and ethical responsibility meant a great deal to us. Both agents were knowledgeable, responsive, and truly focused on our best interests throughout the home-buying process. We felt confident, well-informed, and supported every step of the way. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and principled real estate professionals.Posted on Brittany HillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just wrapped up a transaction with Ben, helping a Veteran and his wife buy their very first home. He made everything seamless—great communication, proactive every step of the way, and he even negotiated a big credit to cover their closing costs. Absolutely amazing to work with!Posted on Hunter NoelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ben is a true professional with the utmost passion for his clients’ best interests and what he does. My wife and I owe the smoothness of our home-buying experience to Ben’s diligent communication, timeliness, and expertise.Posted on Zak ShellhammerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ben embodies what it means to be a professional and a leader—his commitment to both his clients and community is evident in every interaction. He is an outgoing, giving person, and his approach to real estate mirrors the same ethics and values that I hold dear. Ben’s deep knowledge of the Northern Nevada market, combined with his unwavering dedication to his clients, makes him an exceptional real estate professional. I highly recommend Ben.Posted on Stephanie TeetersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Ben has been an absolute pleasure.

I have had the opportunity to get to know Ben on a personal and professional level over the last year, and besides being a genuinely caring human being, his work ethic is unmatched.
