About Ben
I've been selling homes on the Central Coast for over 7 years and I still get a buzz out of it — especially around Avoca Beach and North Avoca, where I do most of my work. I live local, surf most mornings before I start, and walk my dog Kobi along the same beaches you're probably picturing yourself near. Here's how I work: I'll give you a straight answer, even when it's not the one you want. I won't quote you a big number just to win your business and then spend the whole campaign talking you back down. I'd rather have the honest conversation up front, then get to work chasing the best result we can actually get. Most of my sales go to auction. When a home's presented well, the right buyers will pay a premium for it — and a good auction campaign brings those buyers together and lets them compete. That's where the real money sits for a seller, and it's the part I genuinely love. I'm not the high-pressure, jargon-heavy type. I'm the bloke who'll sit at your kitchen table, treat your home like it matters — because to you it does — and look after the buyers just as well, because they're part of the result too. If you're thinking about selling, even if it's a way off, I'm happy to have a no-pressure chat. Worst case, you walk away with some honest advice.

Reliable, patient and professional

Matthew was genuinely interested in understanding what was important to us throughout the entire process. He was readily available to answer questions, support us by explaining options and providing us with information - without pressure. His experience in the area and market is very clear and this made it very easy to trust his guidance. We would highly recommend Matt and the rest of the Team to anyone.

Polished and professional

I had an excellent experience dealing with Matt and Ben Kidd throughout the purchase of my property. What really stood out was that they got all the little things right — communication was clear, everything was handled promptly and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. They were grounded, friendly and approachable, while still being polished and highly professional. A special mention to Ben Kidd, who I had most of my dealings with. Ben was consistently responsive, genuine and easy to deal with, which made the whole process feel straightforward and stress-free. I really appreciated the way both Matt and Ben conducted themselves — professional without being pushy, personable without losing that high level of service. I would happily recommend Matt and Ben Kidd to anyone looking for an agent who genuinely understands that the small details matter. Thanks again, Matt and Ben and the whole team. Much appreciated. Nic and family.

Calm, confident and kept us on course.

Calm, confident and kept us on course.

Ben made it feel we were working with an old friend. Someone who was listening to our needs and not only responding but anticipating actions needed. He stayed calm and confident and guided us even in the more stressful parts of selling to result we wanted, providing a laugh and a story along the way. He worked three offers even in a tougher market to bid against each other to get us the strongest option.

very understanding & kind in their communication and considerate of our family

Matthew, Lucy, Tiffany and Ben from Bensville Ray White were a pleasure to sell our home through. The team were very understanding & kind in their communication and considerate of our family throughout the process of selling our home of 38 years. They intimately know the surrounding Bensville area, the recent sales and trends. They organised quotes from different trades and house dressing and after feedback from a few pre market inspections, adjusted their recommendations to minimise unnecessary spending on our part. We were happy with the result and glad to see our home… go to a good home :) We would definitely recommend the Ray White Bensville team and happily work with them again.
