Ben was recommended to us by a few of our friends who helped them buy their homes within the past couple of years. They said they had a great experience and we trusted their judgement. Ben exceeded all of our expectations. His communication is clear and flexible, his knowledge of the ABQ neighborhoods we were looking in (Parkland Hills and thereabouts) is fantastic, he has an incredibly detailed eye when touring homes, and we just felt very comfortable with his mix of professionalism and personableness. He gave us excellent advice, never pushy just giving us all the information he could so we could make well informed decisions- and gave us advice when we asked for it. During the closing process Ben kept us on time with paperwork and informed us of what to expect next every step of the way. During the home inspection process Ben asked great questions that really helped us clearly interpret what the inspectors were conveying about the home. The home inspectors even commented to us privately that that Ben went above and beyond what they typically see of realtors during the home inspections and that he really knew what he was doing. We are so so pleased that we worked with Ben to buy our first home. We can't recommend him highly enough if you are buying your first or tenth home! PS- I'm not sure why Yelp lists me as living in San Fran, we're definitely proud New Mexicans ;) read more

Ben is the man! I am a first time home buyer, and after meeting with Ben, I knew he was going to be my guide for the process. I was working fast, and he helped me keep the pace. We knocked out every viable house in the area, until I knew I found the one I wanted. I have two kids, and he was more than happy to have them along for the journey, the dude has unlimited patience for two elementary aged children, and that says a lot. He took the sting and fear out of buying a home for the first time with a matter of fact attitude, and invaluable sense of humor, which made the whole experience a lot less time consuming. He worked with my schedule, he worked with my less than awesome income, and he got me into a home which I absolutely adore. Not only that but once the paperwork was signed, and I encountered a serious problem in my home which we overlooked in inspections, Ben was right there by my side, fighting with me until the seller and selling agent made things right. What could have been an absolute nightmare turned into a dream, because Ben stuck by my side when he had every right to leave me hanging in the wind. For anyone intimidated by the process, or sick of dealing with fake-smiling-real-estate-puppets with questionable motivations, I have to whole-heartedly recommend Ben Levine over just about any other real estate agent you might be eyeing. Ben ROCKS! read more

Ben helped my husband and I buy our home in 2011 when my husband was working overseas. It was a challenging and new experience for me being a first time home owner. Ben made the process so smooth and pleasant! He guided us through every step, was helpful, personable, and quick to answer any questions I had. When it came time to relocate out of state, and sell that very same home, we turned to Ben again! He is so easy to work with, so knowledgeable, honest, and real... there was no question in choosing him again. He is quick to respond, gave us his honest opinion about what we needed to fix in our home before selling, and then helped every step of the way. It's stressful trying to buy or sell a home, and to have someone like Ben helping coordinate everything, especially when you are out of state and unable to... PRICELESS!!!! I'd trust Ben again and again to do the best possible job in buying or selling my homes and am so glad we found him! read more

We've had the good fortune to work with several great realtors - and Ben is far and away the best! He is responsive, efficient, detail oriented, professional, personable, and extremely knowledgeable. He supported our decisions and provided keen insight where appropriate - impressing us mightily along the way despite us being somewhat seasoned home buyers. Ben deftly managed the entire buying process from showings to post-closing - all while keeping us fully informed and making sure that our needs, questions, and concerns were addressed. Most impressive was his management of repairs conducted as part of the sale, where he went above and beyond to ensure that everything was completed correctly and in a timely manner. Overall, he took a home search that had the potential to be very stressful (especially given our purchase of a home in need of some work) and made it fun and exciting. read more

Ben was recommended by a coworker who was happy with their home purchase and we are too! As a first time home buyer we didnt know much about buying a house and Ben helped us narrow down what kind of house would be right. He showed us houses for only 2 weeks but in that time helped us figure out what we were really looking for as we started with a large range: houses, townhouses, condos with different ages. Along the way he would be sure to point out problematic areas or cool features noting high or low end fixtures. Ben also provided recommendations for inspections. Even after the sale was final, Ben continues to be courteous and when we had our first home issue Ben had a couple suggestions and recommendations of who to turn to (who also did a fabulous job). As a result we are very happy with our choice of Ben as a realtor! read more

This has been the second time Ben Levine has acted as our realtor for our homes in Albuquerque during the last ten years. He always does a fantastic job! Ben, if asked, will give excellent suggestions for staging the property for target buyers. The photos he uses online show the property to its best advantage. He studies and presents the market comps in a patient, professional and understandable way. With both of our home sales, we had solid offers in hand in just a few days and Ben kept us well-informed during every step of the contract negotiations process. But what we appreciated most was his sensitivity and understanding of people and what was required to create the best balance of needs during the transactions. read more

Purchasing my first house was an intimidating process. Now that I've closed and moved in, I can look back and appreciate the importance of a good real estate agent. I'm incredibly glad that I had Ben by my side. I really appreciated his approach, start-to-finish. Before we looked at any houses, he took the time to sit down with me in person, lay out the whole process and the responsibilities of each party, and get an idea for what I was looking for. His knowledge and experience were extremely valuable for the search, inspections, and closing. When I had questions, he was prompt in answering them, or bugging the people involved who would be able to answer them. Thanks, Ben, for making my first home purchase a breeze. read more

Ben is a fabulous realtor- can't recommend him enough! He made sure to really understand what we were looking for when purchasing a home. He was beyond patient, extremely (and immediately) responsive, and (perhaps most valuable) completely trustworthy. When he gave us his opinion, I knew I could trust it. He didn't push us into anything, he gave words to our gut feelings, he noticed practicalities that we missed, and his advice is what helped us clinch the deal to be chosen above people who were able to outbid us. Ben really understands the nuances of this real estate market, and without his guidance and assistance, I'm 100% certain we would still be unhappily renting. Thank you so much for everything Ben! read more

Best real estate agent ever! Ben is knowledgeable, professional, and well-organized. Every bit of our time together over several days was well planned and ran like clockwork. All the houses we looked at fit the criteria I had provided in terms of location, price-range, and features. Ben was well prepared, always provided helpful information, and remained honest, open, and fair about the properties. He knows his stuff! Ben responds to email, phone calls, and texts pretty much immediately. He went out of his way to work with me over a condensed period of time, which was much appreciated. He is friendly, warm, personable, easy to talk to, and just a really nice guy. An exceptionally positive experience. read more

We had second homes in Abq for about eight years. Two different condos; the first in the North Valley and the second Downtown. Ben helped w the first sale and both ends of the second. Consummate professional, always on top of little details, and extensive contacts and good working relationships with all manner of ancillary service providers, e.g., handyman, painters, and, of course lenders, title companies and inspectors. If you want good results buying or selling with no drama, Ben is a solid choice. You won't be disappointed. read more

Ben is fantastic! He puts real thought and care into the plan and schedule of the showings to see as many homes as possible in the time available.
