Ben Sweet Reviews

<p>Ben is extremely professional. He knows and understand the Calgary market and provides reliable sound advice regarding specific neighbourhoods as well as overall real estate trends. He is a strong negotiator and knows how to play hard ball. Ben is reliable, punctual and will go out of his way to meet with you and show you any property. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Ben to any of my friends and will gladly do business with him again.</p>

<p><br /> Ben's market knowledge and level of experience is extremely beneficial in determining the pros and cons of a property.</p>

<p>There are many areas in life where I recommend people when I find someone who is excellent at what they do. In Real Estate, without a doubt I send Ben Sweets name to anyone who is even considering selling or buying a property. He is an outstanding professional and knows the Calgary market like no one else I have ever talked to. We were planning to sell our house in about a year and met with Ben when he outlined the buying and selling cycles in Calgary so we could list at the ideal time to maximize our profits. He went through our house, which we had not done a great deal of improvement on for the 10 years we lived there, and pointed out every thing (and I mean everything from a paint chip, to door k***s, to a bathroom that needed re-doing) that would reduce our profit from a buyers stand point. He knew the trends that were in houses that sold quickly and gave us the list to start working through. "The goal is to fix anything that would give a buyer a moment of pause to question purchasing." With the list he then helped prioritize the list if we did not want to do all of the work, it was up to us to make the decision. From the initial meeting, to the professional photo shoot, to staging, he was always checking in on how we were doing and what was happening with the market in our neighborhood as we approached listing target. Two properties listed a day before ours was scheduled and he advised waiting to see what happened and where the price action settled. We put all our trust in his experience for listing price and timing and we are so glad we did not let our emotions get in the way. He listed lower than we originally thought but he was confident that the market was short on houses and there were people who wanted into our community. After a few days, both houses sold. The day we listed at 8:30am, I finished the absolute LAST DETAIL on fixing up the house for sale. Agents flooded our house for three days, at times there were three agents with perspective clients in the house at the same time... Our house sold in 5 days and we far exceeded our expectations for the sale.</p> <p>Ben knows the market and houses. If you want someone you can trust and give your honest advice, and will honor how much or little you want to do to your property, Please call Ben... you will not regret it. It took all of the questions out of our sale for us. He gave us scenarios and left it up to us, but to be honest, we gave the decisions back to him because we know he had our best and highest interest in mind.</p> <p>We have referred many people to Ben and no doubt you will see their review here as well.<br /> Thank you Ben for all of your advise and support.</p>

<p>I've used Ben for multiple transactions, and I am always happy with the results. He is knowledgeable, professional, personable and effective. Whether purchasing or selling, I would trust no one other than Ben with my real estate deals.</p>

<p>Working with Ben was a great experience. He listened to our needs, understood what we were looking for and worked patiently towards finding our new home. He is knowledgeable, hard working, responsive and enthusiastic. We would work with him again without hesitation.</p>
