After my father passed, I was tasked with selling the home that had been in our family for over 60 years. Ben's advice helped my siblings and I navigate the necessary steps needed to sell the property without putting too much unnecessary time or money into staging the home. His advice regarding limiting improvements and the best timing to sell, were all spot on. Not only did he list the home for more than another realtor had advised, he was able get several offers above the asking price within a week of putting the home on the market. The process was seamless thanks to his hands on approach and expertise. I would highly recommend Ben Buckley and plan on using him in the future.
I've bought/sold two properties in the past thirty years, and I've never had a realtor that does as thorough of a job as Ben. In fact, I've never even heard of a real estate agent that personally handles as much of the process as Ben. He's not just the handler of the sale/transaction, he serves as the project manager of each step of the experience -- including estimating, remodeling, repairing, and yes, even the task of packing up one's belongings in preparation of moving to another state. He even helped carry out some heavy exercise equipment to save us money on the junk guy. I can't recommend him more highly. We got about 20% higher than I had originally estimated to based on his advice on pre-sale renovations. Big recommendation! No notes.
Ben did a great job, he is knowledgeable, professional, and considerate. He is patient in helping us find and purchase a house in a competitive housing market. He is an excellent agent to have working on your side!
I've bought two homes and sold one with Ben now and he's fantastic to work with. With so much experience he's seen it all and knows the real estate game inside and out. Ben is quick to respond, makes the process as easy as possible, and is a straight talker you can trust. Highly recommended!
I am thrilled to commend Ben Buckley for his outstanding service in helping us find and purchase our property in Bellevue. Ben's expertise and dedication were evident as he navigated the competitive real estate market to secure a fantastic property for us well below market value. His keen understanding of the local market, combined with his exceptional negotiation skills, made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Ben's professionalism, attention to detail, and unwavering commitment to our needs truly set him apart. We couldn't be happier with our new house and highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a top-notch real estate agent.
We have been working with Ben for nearly a decade. Ben helped us buy and sell our first home in Seattle and most recently helped us buy our next home. Ben is honest, patient, and extremely knowledgeable about older homes. We highly recommend him.
Ben is an extremely knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated realtor. He helped us buy a townhouse in Ballard in 2013 and has been available any time we have had questions about the market. After deciding to sell our home in late 2019, Ben offered valuable advice to maximize our selling price. We strongly recommend Ben to anyone planning to buy/sell a home and look forward to working with him in the future.
After a couple of property visits with Ben, my husband and I had a pretty solid idea of what we wanted in our first home in terms of features, price and location. Ben was patient and did not pressure us into making an offer until we felt ready. When that day finally came in mid-February, we secured the home we wanted, and at asking price.
Ben is a delight to work with. He is patient, cool-headed, prompt, and extremely reliable. I often felt like I was his only client because he's so on top on things. I felt prioritized whenever I wanted to see a home or had a question. Ben is extremely knowledgable about the Seattle market and was able to advise me on how to make the most compelling offer while also being transparent about pro and cons of different types of clauses. I appreciated the level of detail he gave in helping me to understand all parts of the offer process. I wouldn't hesitate to put my trust in Ben again for future real estate transactions.
Ben was extremely helpful with every aspect of the sale of my father's home. He made it so simple for me and worked around my crazy schedule. I will definitely be working with him in the future to purchase a home of my own.
