Ben Sweet Reviews

We interviewed a number of agents prior to hiring Ben Sweet, who was referred to us by a friend after we expressed disappointment with the quality of realtors we had found. Ben was immediately the most prompt and efficient in his all communication with us, and was truly a refreshing change from other realtors who didn't appear to be very ambitious or skillful. We found he was extremely professional and organized in all phases of the real estate process. Throughout our dealings, we discovered that Ben is a highly intelligent person, a good listener, with great people skills and a keen sense of humor, which made working with him quite enjoyable. We were selling a long time family home for a senior who was moving to a retirement residence, so there were a number of adults involved in all decisions as well as special needs to be considered in the showing and sale of the house. His extensive knowledge of the market and diplomacy enabled us to make great decisions as a family and everyone's expectations were exceeded. We sold the house and closed the deal exactly within the time frame we had hoped for, at exactly what we had determined with Ben, was the right price. We highly recommend his services, without any reservation. Our family will hire him again for our next housing transaction.

My husband and I had a great experience with Ben as our realtor. He was recommended to us by a family member, so we had high expectations going in. Ben was extremely quick to respond to any e-mails or calls with thorough, detailed replies. He set up a search website for us tailored to our specific needs, so were were able to view new listings in real-time and keep our decision-making organized. We only had one day in Calgary to see houses and make our decision. Ben set up 14 showings and spent the whole day with us, giving us advice and walking us through the home buying process. As first time home buyers, we had lots of questions. He was proficient in the process and put together our paperwork immediately after we made our decisions. After we returned home, the rest of the work was seamless even though we were not in Calgary at the time. We are extremely happy with our experience and would not hesitate to recommend Ben Sweet as a realtor.

Meredith is a true professional who listened, assessed and responded to our needs and interests in an expedient manner. She is a diplomatic and firm negotiator that surpassed our expectations. We were relocating from Ontario to Alberta and were unfamiliar with Alberta real estate protocol and procedures. She navigated us through the purchase of our new home with finesse while easing our concerns and confusion. We highly recommend Meredith.

We found Ben on this website and were very happy we did - the comments that lead us to contact him initially were exactly what we experienced. Ben was very helpful as we were looking for a new house. We didn't know whether he would be part of our purchase or not (we were considering going with a builder that didn't allow a realtor) but regardless would represent the sale of the current house. He didn't put any pressure on about the new purchase and was very helpful and flexible in showing us available properties when we wanted to see other options. When there was an unexpected change in circumstances and the transaction turned into a work relocation, Ben adjusted and continued to provide excellent help throughout the new policies we had to go through for the sale. Ben's very knowledgeable and is great at sharing that knowledge well beyond what our expectations were. He was very thorough at evaluating market value of properties (he was a big help in laying out information for us to choose a listing price, and he was always prepared with data and insights for any property he showed us), had great perspective about how to best position us when selling our property, and he was very helpful going through negotiations. For us the biggest reason why we will recommend and choose Ben ourselves again is the trust he built. His focus was always on our best interests and there was never any pressure. He was very reliable, responsive and had open communication. We also appreciated that when he had an open house it was his partner who was there so that in the event a visitor was interested in the house he would not be in a situation representing both buyer and seller. He was committed to representing us the best he could and he provided excellent support to make it a smoother process for us.

<p><br /> Ben has been very helpful in both transactions (sell and buy) and he helped us in finding the place that fits our needs and our budget. He also did a good negotiation on behalf of us with the owner rep and managed to get us a good price and service conditions.</p>
