About Ben
Ben commenced his real estate career in 2003 with an agency based in Mosman, Sydney, and continued his success in the industry when he relocated to northwest NSW. Before moving to the Gold Coast in 2014, Ben owned and managed a large agricultural holding for over a decade, which provided him with valuable hands-on knowledge of how to run a multi-million dollar enterprise. In that time, Ben doubled the productivity of the business and helped to negotiate the successful sale of its two large cattle properties in 2013. His superior negotiation and communication skills along with his experience in property management, residential and rural sales, livestock and grain marketing, have seen Ben achieve great results with LJ Hooker Southport. Ben is extremely motivated and is focused on getting the best results for his clients. He prides himself on honesty and integrity and his genuine, friendly nature is appreciated among his peers and those he deals with. Hard work and high quality of service are two things Ben prides himself on. After having many of his own dealings with agents in the past through both buying and selling property, Ben believes he has a very good understanding of what clients expect from their real-estate agent. Ben is results-driven and is committed to providing his clients quality service. So if you are looking to buy or sell your property, Ben is eager to help you with a hassle free and enjoyable transaction.

Alex is the only agent you need to speak to

Alex is the only agent you need to speak to

My experience with Alex proved that there are still people you can genuinely trust in this industry. While many agents say they’re looking after your best interests, Alex actually does. He is fair, transparent, honest, ethical, and genuinely cares about achieving the best outcome for his clients. His market knowledge and experience is unrivalled. To top it off, he achieved an above-market sale price for my property. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alex to anyone looking to buy or sell.
