A Personal Message from Ben

Five black stars.

Ben has been a realtor that I’ve used when I was in college renting, and buying my first house with. He will work for you to make sure you find the perfect match for your needs and wants, as well as communicate with you throughout the process to make sure you’re fully aware of everything going on. Highly recommend him as your next realtor!

Ben Phillips is an amazing realtor. He helped navigate the current competitive housing market as a true professional! This was our son's 1st condo purchase, and Ben patiently answered all his questions (and even more of ours) start to finish. Ben's knowledge about Gainesville proved priceless, as we aren't from the area.
