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!

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 and his team are very professional and go above and beyond the norm. His team produced photo and video renditions of our home that are best in industry. 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.

Ben was our realtor to purchase our second home and he is great! He's GENUINE, patient, trusting and accommodating. I really felt he had our best interest at heart and would give good advice even though it wasn't what I wanted to hear, like on a home I loved but it was overbuilt for the neighborhood and not a good investment. However, he was always supportive of any decision we made and then it became his and he represented what we wanted. I definitely felt we had a partnership. My first experience with a realtor was a pushy sales person who wanted her commission fast so my experience with Ben was way different and it was a great pleasure to work with him. So great that we had him sell our first home after we bought the second home! Ben and Genesis Realty did a great job on the photos and video of the house. Video was so beautiful that I watched it over a dozen times! He sold our house on the first day it went to market and over asking. When our home didn't appraise for the amount offered, he worked with the seller so that we both were happy with the outcome. Buying and selling homes is a big deal and it's great to have someone you can trust to do that with. Ben's that guy and you'll be happy having him by your side to go through the largest purchase of your life!

Ben Farley helped us buy our first home. He guided us through the entire home-buying process from start to finish and still makes himself available for questions around buying our next home. Ben is dependable, professional, and an all-around great guy. You couldn't find a better Realtor.

Ben was so amazing to work with! He took the time to get to know us, ask us questions, and learn our likes and dislikes. In fact he got to know us so well, we trusted him to go look at houses for us while we were both out of state. We even put an offer in on a house sight unseen, trusting Ben's judgment. AND that's the house that we are now living in and absolutely LOVING IT! We can't say enough good things about our experience working with Ben! Professional, responsive, kind, knowledgeable... the list goes on.

Ben helped my wife and I in the selection and purchase of our first home in 2012. He was great to work with through the process - attentive, understanding, patient, and available. We were able to move quickly once a decision was made, and he was flawless through the decision and negotiation. I highly recommend Ben as a realtor, and will use him personally for any future needs.

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!!

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.

Ben did an amazing job. He was very knowledgable, quick to respond and pleasant to work with. He was never pushy when we needed to make a decision and gave us great information to help make those tough decisions, and at the same time not being biased towards one answer. This is the second time we've used Ben as our Realtor and will continue to use him in the future. Highly recommend!

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.

Ben definitely has a vast knowledge and is well connected to the real estate world. He gave us helpful advice and perspective since he's been in real estate for over a decade. Additionally, he is very knowledgeable often bringing things to light that new buyers like us wouldn't think of. He connected us with a great mortgage lender and worked efficiently and effectively with the lender. He recommend inspectors and types of inspections and tests. He also came to all of the inspection appointments. Ben was very involved throughout the entire purchase process, he assisted in reading documents like HOA finances and title commitments, and making sure we understood and got all the right documents. He helped us with price analysis and value and work through a negotiating strategy. Ben is very professional, excellent at effective communication and easy to work with!
Description of Work: 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. Even in a crazy seller's market, Ben helped us feel calm about the whole process, and with his guidance we ended up with a house we love at a price we can afford. Do yourself a favor and work with him!

Ben was the most supportive partner to help us through finding a house. It was our first time ever buying, and houses were going within days of being listed. We could barely get through the door of a listing fast enough before they stopped accepting offers. He really stopped and took the time to sit with us on multiple occasions to figure out what we wanted and explain the entire process to us. As newbies to the market it was so helpful to have someone available to ask questions about how different processes work and how to go about executing those steps involved. We've been in our house for 3 years now, and we absolutely love where we live. We can believe we were lucky enough to find this place - and we owe a lot of that to Ben. We highly recommend him to anyone we know that is looking at buying or selling.

Working with Ben and Genesis Realty was amazing! We actually had a great time and the experience was smooth, easy and we learned a lot. Ben was extremely helpful from the beginning and we were new home buyers, so we asked a TON of questions. Ben answered them all without making us feel bad and he spent hours (literally) with us on the phone making sure we understood the processes and what we needed to do. We had to move quickly on our house (don't we all these days!) and he was right there with us giving us guidance and steering us in the right direction to ensure we walked away with something we really wanted and could afford. He didn't pressure us, he didn't leave us hanging, he was attentive, responsive and somehow always available (although we knew he was crazy busy AND it was during the holidays). We are so grateful to have had his support and we LOVE our new home :) If and when we buy/sell again he will be the one we call - we highly recommend him to new buyers and anyone else buying/selling.
Description of Work: Ben helped us buy our first home, he was there for us the entire process and is still in touch to this day!
