Meet Ben
Realtor® Associate | RS-80743“Integrity, ingenuity, and communication”, would be the top qualities of a Realtor®, according to Ben. For someone who’s sold tens of millions of dollars of real estate in just a few short years since joining the industry, it’s clear that Ben lives and implements these values in his business practice.
Ben didn’t grow up living in Hawaii neighborhoods like the ones he’s now so familiar with. His Midwest upbringing and military family saw him moving around the country often as a child. These beginnings gave him a solid foundation of not only work ethic, but what it means to care about people and their unique situations in life. Early on, Ben was inclined to work hard; landing his first job at 14 years old and saving up money to purchase his first car, a sweet 1987 Cutlass Supreme. Later he headed to college at Missouri State University and eventually landed in Hawaii in 2010, where he graduated from Hawaii Pacific University. After working locally for several years in tourism and technology with a Fortune 500 company, Ben shifted gears and decided to pursue real estate; an industry that allowed him to combine his knowledge & love of the Hawaiian Islands with his passion for consulting and serving others.

Building relationships, connecting with people, and seeking guidance from a valuable mentor led Ben to become a top-producing agent in a crowded field. Ben believes a Realtor® in 2022 should be more helpful than an application on your phone. They should be skilled in negotiations and well-versed in real estate contracts. They should know each neighborhood, what condo buildings have issues, what future developments may block your view, and should be entirely plugged in for the local market.
Ben understands that every real estate transaction is a very personal one. He sets himself apart with his deep market knowledge, stellar communication skills, and ability to formulate a custom game plan that helps people achieve their goals. There is no secret to success, it’s hard work and effort. Ben helps his buyer-clients find and secure the best homes that fit their dreams and budget in one of the country's most expensive and competitive real estate markets. For seller clients, Ben’s dedication to quickly and efficiently save both time and money on the home sale has yielded proven results for countless home sellers. In his free time, Ben enjoys bodysurfing on his local surf break, hiking, and enjoying quality time with his son Julian and his wife Christiana, as well as his sulcata tortoise and his dog, Korra.
