My fiance and I were first time home buyers, so we weren't sure what we were getting ourselves into. Upon meeting Ben via Zoom, we could instantly tell he was someone we wanted to work with. He made us feel comfortable and answered all our questions. Ben helped us every step of the way and we never felt pressured or rushed. Even when we thought we found "the one" a few times, he made sure that we took our time to make our decision. He was very helpful and informative. He would explain to us every detail he could see in each house we toured, which we really appreciated. Ben was also 100% honest and wouldn't hold back if there was something he didn't like about the house. When it came to negotiating, he always knew the real value of a house and what could be negotiated even in a sellers market. He walked us through the buying process and explained every document we had to sign. At one point, there was an issue with tying in the closing costs promised by the sellers during closing, which was missed by the bank. Ben was able to dissolve the situation by finding that information and pointing it out to the bank. Even after we closed, Ben continued to communicate with us to ensure everything was well and that we settled in our new home. He even updated us on when the seller realtor was going to remove the for sale sign as they took longer than expected. Ben and his team were professional and provided excellent communication and service. We highly recommend him. read more

We were referred to Ben by a mutual friend, and we could not have been happier with the experience. We had previously begun our home search by looking at brand new construction, and in the process, meeting several pushy and often slimy agents. We needed someone to look out for our interests, and Ben absolutely did that. From our first meeting, he was professional, prepared, knowledgeable, and always friendly. During the search process, he was on-top of the latest listings and was very flexible in his availability to show, always make us feel like we were his only client. Most importantly, he was patient while we looked at countless homes, never making us feel like we were a bother or being too picky. When it came time to go into escrow, Ben and his team were absolutely on-point, covering every detail, like scheduling inspections, negotiating details with the sellers over repairs, and keeping on schedule for our closing. As a former mortgage broker, it's been my experience that this is the area where many real estate agents fall down. They act as though they think the job is done once their buyer is in escrow, when it's really where the work begins. And in this area, Ben doesn't disappoint. In the end, Ben made this about as drama-free as a home purchase can be, and for that we are grateful. If you're looking for an honest, trustworthy agent to help you buy or sell a home, we absolutely recommend Ben Farley. read more

We purchased a home earlier this year and it was the most amazing and exciting experience, thanks to Ben and Genesis Realty. From the start, he made us feel comfortable, relaxed and taken care of, which was extremely important to us given this was our first home buying experience. His knowledge and expertise were evident in the guidance and suggestions he gave us and he was always available and extremely responsive. We honestly thought that was totally normal, but after hearing stories from friends about their buying experiences we soon realized that we had gotten very lucky with Ben. Other people wouldn't hear from their realtor for days and found they weren't helpful at all - not our experience at all! Communication is extremely important and we felt like the center of the universe working with Ben. If you're looking for a realtor and you want someone who will listen to you (and I mean really listen to you) and someone who will get back to you quickly and be there for you through the whole process - Ben is your guy. read more

Ben Farley is without a doubt the best real estate broker available if you are looking to sell or buy a home or real estate. He is honest, upfront, and always has our best interest at heart.

Ben's knowledge of housing construction, attention to detail, market expertise and hassle-free approach made selling our home an enjoyable journey rather than a painful drudge. We were so pleased with Ben's efforts in selling our home we are utilizing his expertise in purchasing our new home. Ben listens and provides thoughtful insight and recommendations/suggestions throughout the process. We started with a professional and have ended up with a friend. read more

Let me tell y'all, this man knows his stuff. Not only that, he was so patient; we were a bit picky and took our sweet time finding just the right house. He was there every step of the way, with knowledge and insights that, honestly we probably would not have considered otherwise. We lost count of the number of houses we checked out, from McMinnville clear out to Scappoose. Any time he noticed a red flag, we heard about it, any time we weren't sure about anything he had an answer, if not immediately then later that day after talking to one of his network of contractor colleagues. We're crazy happy the house we ended up with, it has everything we could have wanted and we wouldn't have found it without Ben. Five stars doesn't do him justice. Thanks again Ben, W&C read more

My husband and I purchased a home with the help of Ben Farley two years ago. My husband and I looked for several years for a home before we decided to build a home. Through the whole process Ben was so patient and really wanted to make sure we found the right home for our family. I had a lot of anxiety and nervousness about building a home but Ben was there every step of the way checking in to make sure everything was going smoothly. Even after we had lived in our home for over a year Ben was still checking in and wanted to make sure there were no problems with the house. If you are looking for a realtor that will really listen to what you want and who is caring, patient and resourceful then Ben Farley is the realtor for you!! Thanks again Ben!! read more

Due to a previous bad experience, I was hesitant when it came to choosing a realtor to sell my home. I had randomly met Ben when looking at a home he was selling a year before and he was so very helpful and answered so many questions and got us a ton of information on the house and the area, even after we weren't able to buy that house. I'm so glad I contacted him when it was time to finally sell my place. There was never any pressure. it was relaxed and easy and the best experience, I could ask for. His team is so helpful and supportive and really a lot of fun to work with. They made my house look awesome and it sold practically before we officially had it on the market. I recommend Ben and Genesis Realty to everyone I can. read more

Ben was such a blessing to us in selling our house! He made the whole process so easy and smooth! We listed our home on a Thursday with the understanding we would accept offers up until the following Monday at noon. Our house was sold that Monday with multiple offers over the asking price and we closed in less than 30 days! Ben and his team were amazing! His listing video and pictures are top of the line and we would recommend him (and we have) in a heartbeat! Having already moved 1,000 mile away by the time the house went on the market, Ben and his team took care of ALL the details so that the sale would go without a hitch! The whole selling process went amazingly fast due to his attention to detail and marketing skills. read more

Ben helped my husband and I buy our first house in March of 2013. He was attentive and committed to helping us find the right house for us, never pressuring us to make an offer or see a house that was out of our price range or preferred area. We looked at about a dozen houses before we found the right one, which happened to be a short sale. It took about 6 months to close the sale and Ben was great at communicating updates and explaining what was happening, as it was a new process to us. Three years later he continues to check in on us to make sure we are happy. When we buy our second house we will absolutely hire Ben. We have already referred him to several friends and family who are just as happy. read more

Ben did an amazing job! Ben is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to homes, the market, and buying strategy. Ben listened to what I wanted and was looking for. He never pushed me into liking a house to get the sale done. I was in contract on a house that eventually fell through due to inspection issues. If it wasn't for Ben helping me get to the bottom of what was happening in the house, getting the right people to look at it, and asking the right questions I would have made a decision that would have resulted in unexpected large $$ repairs. Next time I need a Real Estate Agent I am definitely going with Ben again! read more

We have bought two homes with genesis realty and we can't say enough good things about them. Ben was our realtor both times and he was fantastic. He is extremely knowledgeable and has been in the business for a while. He never tried to "sell us off" or put us in an upside down situation. We purchased recently in this crazy market and Ben provided us with many resources and an abundance of knowledge so that we could make an offer that was most appropriate for us. We recommend Genesis to EVERYONE and will continue to use them with all of our future home purchases! read more

Ben is an intelligent and hardworking real estate agent. Ben is enjoyable to work with and I would highly recommend him. In my opinion Ben is hands down the best in the business. He was willing to research at the county and the neighborhood so he was well informed about what could be done with my vacant build-able lot. He is well connected with other companies so it was easy for potential buyers to find lenders and contractors. It was his knowledge that gave enough information to the buyer so that they did buy my property. Bob J read more

I can't believe it's been 5 yrs since I bought my home from Ben! Since then, he has sold a home to my son and my friend (ex-husband). We've known Ben since he was a young boy and he has always been a good person with a big heart who genuinely cares for others. I've got to say I was concerned when he got into reality. I thought you had to be a good liar and a little bit evil to make it in that field. I'm happy to say I was wrong. Ben is proof of that. If you want an honest man to work with, you couldn't do better than Ben Farley. read more

Ben was a fantastic realtor and my husband and I were so glad we decided to work with him. He took the time initially to discuss the home buying process with us and what to expect. Once we started looking for homes, we were so thankful to have his experience and insight. He did a great job at walking us through the home buying process and was always available and responsive to our questions. We were new home buyers and greatly appreciated his knowledge and guidance through the process. We highly recommend Ben as a realtor! read more

We knew of Ben's excellent work ethic and exemplary business practices so when the time came to handle a family member's estate, Ben was the one to call.

Ben has a gold-mine of high quality contractors available to fulfill any needs to complete any process for a successful sale. He's kind, gracious, thoughtful and patient.

It was our first home purchase and Ben Farley (realtor @ Genesis Realty) was awesome. I can't say enough about Ben's attentiveness, tenacity, and attention to detail - he was never too busy to help us at every step, and really made us feel like important clients.

Working with Ben and Morgan was an outstanding experience. They went above and beyond to help me find my first home. Ben even went above and beyond when negotiating with the other realtor over some issues. We closed on time and everything went smoothly!

Ben is great! We used him several years back to purchase our first home and recently used him to sell that home and purchase a new one. His knowledge and experience was such a benefit throughout the process. Since this was our first experience selling a home, we had a lot of questions.
