Had the absolute best experience buying my home with Benson Crew ! Nick was able to help shape what I was looking for in a home and walked me through the whole process end to end. I felt confident with my decision making and Nick was able to get a great price. Always available to answer questions and providing the right direction / steps forward.

My journey to sell off the property was a rollercoaster ride considering the market dynamics. Personally, working with Zoe was a great experience. Her communication skills are top notch. She is a very considerate person, taking into account our feedback and suggestions throughout the process. She went out of the way to accommodate some requests and has been a great source of learning. Wish all the best to her and the Zhand team for the future!

We met Jake at the open house for one of his listings, and are we ever glad we did! Not only was he an expert in his area, but his knowledge of the types of homes we were seeing was a great help. He was always available to answer questions, and so willing to help with any step in the process, referring us to various other professionals we may need as we transition to our new hometown. We are super satisfied with Jake Stern and would recommend him to anyone needing a real estate agent.

We were referred to Jake Stern by a colleague, and I cannot express with words how glad we are to have made that connection. Jake never failed once to be there for us, to go to bat for us, and that perseverance got us not only the house of our dreams, but a once in a lifetime deal along with it. I'm not sure another agent could have helped us to where we are today, but thankfully Jake was there the whole way, working to make sure we understood the market, each home we looked at, and preparing us for the best and the worst. Jake's willingness to reach out to other agents and talk on level terms ended up being the most important part of everything for us. Jake, thank you for your service, and everyone reading this, know that if you use Jake as your agent, it will be the correct decision.

I've had the opportunity to work with Ralph Buitenhuis for years and on many occasions, most recently as a Realtor. I've always found Ralph to be a diligent, hardworking, honest businessman. He has an extensive knowledge of real estate that he is happy to share with his clients. He's easy to work with either as a buyer, or a seller and is absolutely tenacious when it comes to getting his clients the best deal. He's smart and will work hard for you. Buying, or Selling, he should be your agent.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE in buying our home!! Jake Stern is more than a realtor - not only did he exceed our expectations, he joins you on your 'home journey', asking really good questions, listening to what is important, and keeping your best interests at heart ALL the time! In fact, Jake pointed out the specifics of what we were looking for in all the homes we walked through, pointing out details we hadn't thought to inspect! He is professional, knowledgeable, and operates with complete integrity. Jake does not disappoint - he will be with you step by step with communication extraordinaire - a complete package! If you are looking for an agent, Jake is the best (speaking from experience)!

At 57, I've moved a few times in my life and worked with few different agents. We recently purchased a rental property in Waterdown, and Danielle Simpson was our realtor. Professionalism, integrity, and honesty are interwoven into her DNA. We also wanted Danielle to help us with the leasing process. Last Monday, we were officially fully leased! Trust is a VERY important part of any business relationship. Without hesitation, Danielle is the only agent I will trust on any and all future deals. I can not recommend anyone better to family, friends, and business colleagues. I look forward to the future deals!!
