"I couldn't be any happier with the services Ben provided in selling my home. Extremely knowledgeable and hard working, Ben always went above and beyond my expectations. His responses to my inquiries were immediate, his marketing of my property was impeccable, and the sale of my property was seamless. Even after the sale, Ben continued to offer assistance by connecting me with some fabulous agents in other states, which I ended up using to purchase another property. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ben as an agent." - Eftechios B. (seller Somerville Multi Family)

"Ben Leavitt is an excellent agent – one who is easy to work with, prompt with replies, extremely knowledgeable, and makes things fun. I wanted to buy my first multi-family property in Boston, but was nervous to find the right space in an area with a good potential for appreciation and strong rents. On more than one occasion, I felt burnt out and tired by the process because of the hyper competitive market. Buying a home is one of the most stressful things a person can do after all! Ben was always there, encouraging me to keep looking and telling me that the right property would eventually come, and that he would help me find it. Ultimately, Ben lived up to his guidance and did help me find a great 2-family in the city with a lot of potential for growth, not to mention with a great tenant in place. Throughout the process, he attended nearly every open house with me and on each potential property he would run the numbers so I could fully understand my investment. He worked tirelessly until I found the perfect place that I felt like I could call home. I am now set up to build long-term wealth for my family, and I am so grateful for Ben’s experienced help. Even the closing process was easy – Ben works with great lenders, attorneys, and contractors and every referral he suggested ended up being top notch as well. Ben also worked with my landlord to help re-rent my rental without any loss to me by securing a great new tenant for my place in a single showing, so I had no stress about worrying how long I would have to continue paying rent while taking on a mortgage. If you are looking for first-rate service, look no further than Ben Leavitt. It was such a positive experience and 100% recommend." -Stephanie F. (buyer Jamaica Plain Multi Family)

"My husband and I worked with Ben to buy our condo in Dorchester. From the first time we met Ben until the day we closed on our house, he was incredibly helpful. Ben has so much knowledge about the housing market in Boston and was so patient with us as we navigated the process of purchasing our home. Not only was ben knowledgable and patient, but he was full of energy and made the process of house hunting so fun! We absolutely adore our new home and couldn't have done it without Ben's help. He is the absolute BEST and we could not recommend him more"- Nora S. (buyer Jones Hill Condo)

"Ben is truly exceptional at what he does. From the first time I spoke with him, I was certain that he was the agent I wanted in my corner as I spearheaded the first-time homebuyer process. Ben knows the local market and beyond inside and out. Above all else, he is extremely thoughtful, communicative, generous with his time, and has a solid understanding of my personal needs and goals. As Ben’s client, I’ve never felt like anything less than a priority to him. He has a unique way of making you feel like you’re the ā€œonly one in the room,ā€ which is critical in today’s world. I highly and wholeheartedly recommend Ben to any buyer or seller in the Greater Boston area. You won’t find a better agent!" -Francesca N. (buyer Milton Condo)

"Ben was an amazing agent as I sold my condo in Spring 2022. He listened to my requests, clearly articulated his thought processes on all the steps leading to the listing (including pricing). His due diligence and attention to detail paid off handsomely - I got list price after the first weekend Open Houses. You need someone you trust and like to get through the headache of selling, and Ben is the consummate advisor and loveliest person - I highly recommend him!" -Trish K. (seller Jamaica Plain Condo)

"This purchase was the beginning of a passion project! Ben was incredibly professional and organized all while juggling the fact that it was the holidays, we were making a purchase from out of state and traveling during closing outside the country! Love our new home and Ben too!"- Steven R. (buyer Jamaica Plain Single Family)

"Ben has been nothing short of great both times he has helped me out. He knows the market really well and is up front and honest about every part of the transaction. That has been really helpful for me and I think saved a lot of time on the back and forth with any real estate transaction. I would absolutely recommend him for anyone in the area"- Matt B. (buyer & seller South End Condo)

"I was very happy working with Ben Leavitt from Compass. Ben represented me in both a purchase and a sale of property in the ā€˜8 Streets Neighborhood’ of the South End. From start to finish, Ben made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Ben's expertise and knowledge of the South End neighborhood were invaluable. He provided all the necessary information I needed to make informed decisions about both transactions. Ben was always available to answer any questions I had and was extremely responsive throughout the entire process. I would recommend Ben to anyone looking to buy or sell a property in the South End. His expertise, responsiveness, and attention to detail make him an exceptional Realtor. Five stars, hands down!"- Charles S (buyer & seller South End)
