Ben was a great partner for us in this search. We came to him as a family who really couldn't afford what we wanted and yet he took us on. He didn't push us to get to the finish line when we weren't ready, always making it clear that he wasn't in a hurry, that his priority was us getting a home we felt was right for us. He helped us understand what mattered and what didn't when we were considering places, and helping us decipher paperwork and disclosures. He was always patient about giving us the information we needed to make informed decisions. When we came to him with places and ideas he would readily come back with his own reflections based on his expertise and his understanding of what mattered to us. He was available to show up when we wanted his in person advice. Overall a great experience working with him, we knew he could help us figure this out, even though it would take some time (and creative thinking).
