About Ben

Known for his genuine approach, unwavering honesty, and steady professionalism, Ben van Dugteren brings over 13 years of elite real estate experience to the Cairns region. As the 2025 Top Agent for Bentley Park and Mount Peter, Ben has become the go-to authority for homeowners seeking record-breaking results paired with a stress-free experience. Specialising in the southern corridor’s unique lifestyle—from rainforest backdrops to freshwater creeks—Ben doesn't just sell property; he is a proud advocate for the community. This commitment is seen through his sponsorship of the Souths Cairns Australian Football & Sporting Club Inc. in Bentley Park, where he actively supports the local sporting culture that makes the region thrive. Ben’s results speak for themselves, characterised by numerous street records and a consistent 5.0-star rating from a loyal stream of past clients who value his "straight-talk" over sales scripts. What truly sets him apart is his focus on integrity; he is committed to delivering the highest possible sale price—often within a market-leading timeframe—without ever compromising the trust his clients place in him. Aligned with McGrath for its innovative marketing and world-class values, Ben provides his sellers with a competitive edge that is sophisticated, data-driven, and highly effective. Outside of the "Sold" stickers and cheering on the team at Souths, Ben is a family man and a traveller who enjoys the Cairns lifestyle he helps others discover—ideally with a good whisky in hand.

Ben was outstanding throughout the sale of my property. He was professional, honest, and always kept me informed every step of the way. His knowledge of the market and strong communication made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Ben worked hard to achieve a great result, and I’m very happy with the outcome. I highly recommend Ben to anyone looking to buy or sell property.

My whole experience with Ben van Dugteren has been extremely satsifying and with very little stress.

Ben has been excellent throughout the whole process of selling my investment unit in Cairns while residing in Sydney. He has been very open and honest and has communicated clearly at all times. Ben started with a very good level of market knowledge and particularly details of recent sales in the complex. He was able to access unsuccessful buyers of other properties and hence market my property without expensive advertising or dressing up the unit, and without expensive auction costs. The whole process was able to take place while maximising the period that my current tenants could remain in the unit. He is an excellent negotiator and was able to achieve a price in excess of his initial estimated selling price. He has been a consummate professional throughout the whole process.

A Smooth and Stress-Free Experience

We recently purchased our new home through Ben Van Dugteren, and he was fantastic to deal with from beginning to end. Ben was professional, approachable, and always kept us well informed throughout the entire process. He made what can often be a stressful experience feel smooth and straightforward. We truly appreciated his honesty, communication, and support along the way. We would highly recommend Ben to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.
