Professional and prepared are the two words I would use to describe how Ben handles his business and his clients. I’ve bought and sold many properties in my life and have never done business with a broker whose years of experience and expertise come close to Mr. Maltese. Do yourself a favor and look no further.

WHAT BEN’S CLIENTS SAY
“
We have bought real estate all over the country. Hands down, Ben is the best real estate professional we have ever worked with. He’s smart, he understands the market and he takes the time to understand his clients. When asked for an opinion he avoids the typical broker response of “well, it depends on what YOU think.” He’ll actually give you an informed opinion...and in my experience you would be smart to listen to him.
I know at least 6 other people Ben has helped buy homes, I’m sure they would all write similar reviews.

Spent several days with Ben completely searching the various high-end alternatives in the Naples area. He’s a real pro! We covered waterfront, downtown and golf course. Ben has the skill set and knowledge to help cover ground quickly.
“
~ Tom G., W. Hartford, CT
“ “
My wife Susan and I are from Chicago. We were anxious to buy a home that would accommodate our ever-expanding family but not be a budget calamity. We were willing to take on a “project” as long as the bones of the home were strong and we could create a style to our liking.
Ben, having been a builder, was both a real estate agent and a construction adviser. We must have looked at 50 homes to find the one with just the right potential.
Ben was ever calm and patient, even though my wife and I were never quite “on the same page”. But Ben got us there, helped us with local contractors, advised us on some construction details and helped us with the choices that are often so very difficult.
I would gladly recommend Ben, especially if you are coming from another state. And if you need opinions on the local golf and country clubs, Ben has seen enough of them to align their variant personalities and communities with your preferences.
It is a big decision. Ben can help you get there.
~ James B., Chicago, IL
