Hi Ben, we were generally pleased with Ben's approach and consideration of our concerns and requests however, we believe as the buyer a more assertive effort may have delivered our claim/s as a result of the building report and matters identified therein as well as our own observation. Given the owner had not lived in the house but capitalised on the rental investment total neglect of the premises as well as the poor attempt with patching up, painting and poor quality floor coverings in three bedrooms and dining room left a bit to be desired. It is recognised the agent is commissioned by the vendor however, if an agent want to establish good rapport with prospective buyers so as to establish ongoing contact for reselling in future years, consideration of buyers requests need be taken into account. These comments are given in the manner one hopes will be taken as intended, 'with all good intent and respect'.

Having dealt with many agents, as both a buyer and seller, across 3 states over a period of 15 years, the relationship and experience with Ben Vance and Rob Henry at Harcourts Hobart is up there with the best.

Was very friendly and helpful.

Ben provided an honest and fair assessment of the property, was professional in his approach to the sale and achieved a result above what was anticipated. I was dealing with Ben as both a purchaser and vendor and he made feel my requirements in both cases were being met and that I was being well supported and advised.

Ben was a word of mouth recommendation when my sister and I needed to sell my deceased aunt's property. From first meeting we felt comfortable and confident with Ben. We were selling the property from a distance and Ben was therefore our local eyes and ears and he did a wonderful job of keeping us up to date as necessary. His recommendations regarding sales strategy and local knowledge were extremely valuable and resulted in a ridiculously quick sale - on the market approx. 4 days! - and a sales price that exceeded all expectations. Ben helped make what could have been a stressful situation smooth and, dare I say it, even enjoyable! We would recommend Ben unreservedly!

Purchasing my first ever Home with Harcourts was a great experience. They were always there when I needed them by a call, text and email! Always provided great market knowledge and explained everything simple and easy! Friendly, happy and helpful! I will definitely consider Harcourts when I decide to buy a bigger house in the next year or so :)

Ben did a great job helping us sell our flat; nothing was too much for him . He has a strong work ethic and attention to detail. Ben follows up thoroughly & he has a very good feel for both where the market is at as well as helping gauge both respective degree of interest & possible responses from potential buyers. In short, based on my experience, I'd recommend Ben.

Ben kept me well informed through the process, provided great advice on presenting the property to maximise buyer interest, and was very professional in his approach. I would definitely recommend Ben as an agent to anyone planning to sell their house.

Thanks Ben. Great sale!

Ben's achievement was really great since we had failed sale attempts twice before - his approach was professional and credible . Highly recommended to all potential buyers and sellers of real estate

I recently sold my home through Ben Vance at Harcourts in Hobart. He was a great real estate agent, both friendly and professional, particularly when dealing with a difficult client. He was highly motivated and very knowldegeable. I would recommend Ben and Harcourts to anyone looking for an agent.

We cannot recommend Ben highly enough, his professionalism and humble approach to real estate is a true credit to him and the Harcourts team. Whilst we are sad to have moved on from our first home (that saw an engagement, marriage and first baby!) we are excited about the next chapter and Ben has made this transition as easy as possible for us. Thank you Ben from the bottom of our hearts!
