For 25 years, Ben Towns has built a reputation in Launceston real estate — not by chasing the spotlight, but by being steady, honest, and genuinely invested in the people he serves. From the beginning, he has believed that every client deserves respect, and every home has a story worth telling.
Ben began his career in 2000 with a small family-owned agency, where he quickly discovered what would shape his approach for decades to come: listening well, guiding carefully, and remembering that behind every property is a family, a milestone, or a memory. Clients often smile when Ben recalls an address before an owner’s name — not because people don’t matter, but because the homes and their stories stay with him long after the sale.
As a long-time Launceston local, Ben doesn’t just work here — he belongs here. The streets, neighbourhoods, and homes he helps sell are woven into the fabric of his own life and community. That sense of place gives him a unique understanding of the local market and a genuine care for the people who call it home.
Today, as part of the highly respected Howell Property Group, Ben draws on his deep knowledge of Launceston to walk clients through every step of their journey. He knows that buying or selling a home is rarely just a transaction — it’s often one of life’s biggest decisions. That’s why he works to make the process clear and stress-free, while staying focused on outcomes that truly serve his clients’ best interests.
Family is central to who Ben is. Married to Amanda for 35 years, with three adult children and five grandchildren, he carries that same sense of care and connection into his work. Away from real estate, Ben enjoys nurturing his garden, hunting down rare plants, and exploring the beauty of Tasmania and beyond.
Looking ahead, Ben remains as passionate as ever about helping Launceston families move forward. For him, real estate is never just about property. It’s about people — and every home is part of their story.
