"My husband and I recently worked with Ben to find and purchase our first home in the north Austin suburbs, and we had a great experience. Ben was an amazing resource for us throughout the whole home buying process, from helping us narrow down the suburb, side of town, and neighborhood we were looking for, to negotiating our final contract. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, and gave us the confidence to hold out for the perfect house for us. We never felt any pressure throughout the entire process, and with Ben's guidance, we found the perfect first home for our family. After our offer was accepted, Ben continued to provide guidance throughout the negotiation, closing, and signing process. We really felt taken care of. He even provided recommendations for vendors to complete repairs and maintenance when we first moved into our home. We would highly recommend Ben to anyone looking to buy a home, and will definitely work with him again the next time we need to buy or sell a home!"

"This was our first experience using Ben as our realtor for a home purchase and move to North Austin. Ben was very familiar with the neighborhoods and gave great advice on all the homes we looked at.
Where Ben really stands out is the professionalism and high level of customer service he and his team provided me and my family. Ben was so patient with our decision making and in the end, Ben helped us find our dream home.
I would like to personally thank Ben and his team for the outstanding service they gave us and all the support in making this our best home purchase experience ever!"

"Ben Pierson did an outstanding job for our family. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to ensure every detail was handled with care and professionalism. What truly set Ben apart was how smoothly he delegated and managed our transition to Texas. Moving states can be stressful, but he made the entire process feel organized, seamless, and well-executed. Ben is professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable in real estate. He communicates clearly, anticipates potential challenges, and handles them before they become issues. His expertise and steady guidance gave us total confidence every step of the way. I would highly recommend Ben Pierson to anyone looking for a real estate professional who genuinely cares, works hard, and delivers results."

"Lord taking care of us. Sold our house in a couple of weeks in this market. These guys are hardworking and made it happen. We made enough to buy a big house in Temple with huge trees. Thanks Ben Pierson and Lance. "

"Ben has been our realtor in multiple home purchases and sales. Since our family can’t decide where to stay for very long, Ben has always been there to help us make transitions. He’s helped us through countless negotiations as the buyers and the sellers. To say we are “challenging buyers” is an understatement, but Ben has the patience of a saint until we find the perfect place. Ben has become a trusted friend and one that goes out of his way to not only help in the community, our veterans, and the local youth - Honestly wherever the need arises. I can’t recommend Ben highly enough to do justice for the incredible human and Realtor he is."
- Denise W.
★★★★★
"Ben is very good at what he does, a one-stop shop. What really separates him apart from other realtors is his character. The guy is honest and straightforward to the point. He doesn’t blow smoke up your chimney. He gives you the facts and allows you to make your own decisions as the seller/ purchaser without pressuring you. When going through both the process of selling and purchasing he was able to efficiently help me with the loan process and to confidently explain every step in detail that I could comprehend. Through his hard work, he was able to help me sell our property in June 2023 and also assisted in finding the dream house for my wife and me while waiting for the property to finish selling. He has assisted in making a big improvement in my family’s life for the better. I would recommend him to friends/family members."

"Ben and Compass is who you want working on your corner when it comes to trying to achieve the American dream of owning a home. Ben was with us through the entire process, from ensuring that we had what we needed at the start of the journey, to the home search based on our needs and wants, to securing the deal and closing. Their service did not end at closing. Ben and Compass followed up with us throughout, even setting up reminders for the 1st year inspections since we had a new build. They also send reminders and courtesy maintenance things to know during severe weather events. They truly go above and beyond. You will not be disappointed with their service. You can count on that. Ben and Compass take away most of the stress that comes with home buying, especially for 1st time home buyers. Thank you, Ben, for the continued service and check-in.( 3yrs in 2024) They are greatly appreciated."
- Fred N.
★★★★★
"Ben was awesome! He really took the time to hear us out on our needs, help us work through the pros and cons of our decision, and then really worked hard to make sure closing got done as quickly and efficiently as possible. He is one of the best in the area and will always get my business. I highly recommend Ben for your real estate needs!"

"We have had the pleasure of working with Ben Pierson for over five years, during which he has guided us through the purchase of our homestead and several investment properties. Ben’s knowledge of the market and dedication to his clients are truly exceptional. He not only understands the ins and outs of real estate but also takes the time to understand our goals and ensure we make the right decisions. What sets Ben apart is that he is never pushy. He allows his clients to make decisions at their own pace while providing thoughtful guidance every step of the way. His focus is always on what’s best for us, and we’ve never felt rushed or pressured into making any choices. Ben is more than just a realtor—he has also become our trusted friend over the years. His attention to detail, responsiveness, and ability to solve problems make him stand out. He has a calm, reassuring demeanor and is always there to offer sound advice, which has been invaluable to us over the years. On top of his professional expertise, Ben is an amazing human being. His honesty, integrity, and genuine care for his clients make him one of the best in the business. If you’re looking for a realtor who will go above and beyond, we highly recommend Ben Pierson."

"I can’t speak highly enough of Ben and his team at Reality Austin. From start to finish, their dedication and commitment were unparalleled in every task that was asked of them. Not only did they help me find our first home back in 2014 but they also assisted in the sale of it during the madness of 2020. They navigated every hurdle with incredible expertise and patience. whether it was answering late-night questions, providing invaluable advice,
or going the extra mile to ensure every detail was perfect. Ben and his team truly went above and beyond. Their personalized service and genuine care made the entire process, smooth and enjoyable.

"Ben helped us buy two homes in the last five years and helped us sell one of them. He spent countless hours over several months visiting homes with us and making sure we picked the right property for our needs. He provided us trusted counsel during the negotiation and transaction process so we could make the best decisions. Most importantly, he was calm, cool and collected during all the ups and downs that inevitably happened, which eliminated stress and complications for us. Ben has become part of the family and I continue to send friends his way when they ask for a realtor referral. Hire him!"
- Laurie S.

"Gail and Ben left an impression after meeting them back in 2020. So much so when we listed our home in September of 2023 we knew we wanted to use them instead of our previous agent. Thorough, supportive, hands on, the team is knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. When our home sold, we were living in another state and they made the process super smooth. After the sale they made a donation in our name to Austin nonprofits, something I personally love as a nonprofit professional. Would recommend them time and time again."

- Stephen M.
★★★★★
"I had an excellent experience with Ben Pierson. As a first time home buyer, I had a lot of questions and Ben made himself available to answer them at any time of the day. He guided me through the process patiently and confidently and even now, after I’ve closed on my first home, he continued to reach out to help. His guidance has been invaluable. I feel as though he genuinely cares, and for those reasons, I undoubtedly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in the surrounding areas of Austin. I will definitely be using Ben for my next home purchase!"

"We have been working with Ben Pierson for over a year since we moved from California to Austin. He helped us to find our rent house even though we were still in California. He gave us all attention we needed (all over the phone at that time) and we found out first house to live here in Texas. A year after we found our first home as owners and he was amazing. He is a type of person that you want to stay close. If we ever need to move or think about buying another house we will go with him. Thank you so much for all, Ben Pierson!"
- Daphne V.
★★★★★
"Ben was awesome for us. He was very professional, honest and straightforward with his advice and opinions. This was very helpful. Once he understood our needs, he really leaned forward quickly to help us meet those needs. I truly believe we only got the house we really wanted due to Ben’s efforts and we are very appreciative of him for that! We will always recommend him to others when asked for a recommendation on a realtor!"
- Bill Z.
★★★★★
"We were seeking a new construction home and were not first-time home buyers. We were told we didn't need a buyer's agent, but we moved ahead anyway since we needed one on the team and we are extremely happy with that decision. Ben was a constant presence for us, always responsive to texts and emails, and gave us trustworthy advice. As the real estate market began to shift, we drew upon Ben's experience and skills for guidance on how to proceed which was invaluable. Last but not least, he had good contacts that we could utilize for other home-related items, such as insurance agents and inspectors. The next time we're in the market again, we know who to call."
- Phani
★★★★★
"Ben helped us find a lovely home In Pflugerville via FaceTime. Having a newborn and living in North Carolina, we were not able to see any homes in person. Ben was our ears and eyes. He know what we were looking for and visited countless homes until we found the right one. Ben knows all the tips and tricks in the real estate book and is one of the most dependable and professional real estate agent I ever met! Will highly recommend his services!"

"How does my Camp Gladiator accountability buddy become my agent? It was a God divine appointment! Professional, Dedicated, Researched, and Seasoned Agent (PRIOR MILITARY) Ben Pierson WAS and IS amazing! I can’t speak highly enough of Ben as my real estate agent. His professionalism, knowledge, honesty, integrity, and hard work ethics are very much appreciated and respected. He is very detailed oriented (that's the military in him), which I love, love, love. He was patient, kind, and always answered my questions!! I had many!! Ben definitely has a passion for what he does, and you can tell that he loves his job. Where it takes days to hear back from realtors (ask me how I know), he has responded within minutes, sometimes even seconds! I am not joking. He would say, I'm in a meeting; call you right back. Guess what he called as soon as he could, or he said email or text me, and we would correspond either way. He kept me apprised about available appointments and always let me know as soon as a new one came on the market that met my requests. He was ALWAYS honest and forthright- no games. I could tell it was NOT about the money for him. During my house hunting, I had to find another short-term rental (6 months or less) until my house was finished. COVID 19 DELAYED. I was having a hard time, and he said, I have a few investment buyers let me see if they will let you rent from them on a short term. Both of them said yes. I got into a brand new home to rent for 5 months, and then my closing got extended, and my landlord let me extend on a month to month. Yes, it's all about who God sends to you. Ben made the nightmare of finding a temporary rental into a blessing I will never forget. It's the little things that meant the most to me. When he was showing houses in my area he would stop by just to say hello and ask if I needed anything. He meant it. He DID NOT have to do that. Not part of his job!! It was almost closing time, and we ran into a snag. Well, to me, it was a BIG snag, and I literally had a meltdown. I wanted to quit. I told him it was just not my time. He talked me off the ledge and said houses are going up, not down. This is YOUR HOUSE. You have a great deal on this home. He said I don't know how we got it. I had to bid; that's a whole other testimony. I did!! He mentioned that I TRUST our loan officer, and she has NEVER let me down. She ALWAYS finds a way to make my clients homeowners. His advice and support through closing were invaluable. He was so polite, available, friendly, and professional. Checking on me because he knew I was in a fragile state. I could not have done it without him. He is extremely professional and always makes me feel very comfortable and important. I highly recommend Ben to be your Real Estate agent. Above and beyond in pursuit of my peculiar constraints and worked through several challenging buying scenarios until I was able to close on my Beautiful home. I appreciate your help so much! You’re the first on my contacts list the next time I purchase or sell! I have gained not only a realtor but a BROTHER FRIEND for life. Our business is done but our relationship is continual. I still hear from him personally from time to time and get nice cards too. Thank you for being a friend."

"The Gail and Ben Team are the best Realtors in the area. They really know the Central Texas market and help clients get what they want by providing advice, tips, and support. They also adapt to market changes and promptly respond to clients, not sure when they ever sleep! I trust them both 110% and consider myself fortunate to be able to work with them. "

"The Gail and Ben Team did an extraordinary job selling our home. They helped with everything: finding reliable contractors for repairs, presentation, price, and the move. Our home sold 2 hours after listing it with offers above the asking price. Closing went extremely well also. Highly recommend the Gail and Ben Team. We truly sat back, and they coasted us smoothly through every step of selling a house in the local market."
- Karen K.

"Benjamin Pierson was amazing with the entire process of our home buying experience. He came out on a Sunday to meet us for the first time. We told him what we wanted, and he went to work. We closed on home with Benjamin's help in May of 2020. The home is $200 less than the rent we were paying in the apartment. Now that we are in the home, Benjamin still keeps in contact after the cell; this is a plus. It shows he cares about more than just making a sale. I recommend Compass AND BENJAMIN TO ASSIST YOU ALL THE WAY! We are blessed with our new home."
- Amanda M.
★★★★★
"The Gail and Ben Team are amazing. They helped us both buy and sell our first home, and they couldn't have made the experience any more convenient or easy going. Even when our home's sale became extremely complicated with the buyer, Gail and Ben were resourceful, calm, accommodating, and above all, our north star guiding us through the process. We can't recommend this team enough."
- Emily E.
★★★★★
"Ben was AWESOME! Ben was very polite, attentive, and always responded promptly to my text messages, phone calls, and emails. Ben stayed in the loop even when the mortgage company tried to take me through it, and Ben assured us the sale was ok. Very pleased with his work and knowledge of his job. You want a knowledgeable team, and they are the perfect fit for you and your family!"
- Amanda M.
★★★★★
"We had an amazing experience working with Ben Pierson while buying our home over the last few months. Ben was extremely knowledgeable and professional throughout the whole experience. We are currently living in Japan and bought our house without getting to see it first hand. Ben provided extremely detailed videos and commentary for us, and he was always available to answer all our questions. He really helped to lower the stress of remote house hunting during a global pandemic. Ben even caught errors in our contracts and appraisal paperwork, which saved us a lot of headaches later on. I would never use another Realtor and highly recommend Ben to all my friends, family, and any stranger who walks by that may need an amazing Realtor."
- Chris B.
★★★★★
"We worked with the Gail and Ben Team, who were AWESOME! Gail and Ben were both very attentive and always responded promptly to my text messages, phone calls, and emails. Ben even brought boxes up three flights of stairs all by himself in Texas heat to make sure that we were packed and ready to move into our new home. If you want a knowledgeable team, then they are the perfect fit for you and your family!"
- Kendra B.
★★★★★
"Ben and Gail have been great to work with. First, I really appreciate their approach. Ben worked to understand exactly what Jacque and I were looking for in a house. He never tried to up sell-off, which I deeply appreciate. He also took the time to show us several different options in order to provide my wife and I better feedback.
I also appreciate their flexibility. My wife and I are coming from the West Coast, so the time change did not always lead to convenient hours for Ben and Gail. Despite this constraint, they always got back to me in a prompt fashion and made themselves available when my wife and I were free.
Ben and Gail have also been instrumental in helping my wife, and I find the right people to perform house repairs after closing. They always took the initiative in finding the repair people, which is deeply appreciated. To sum it all up, I would happily recommend Ben and Gail to anyone moving to the Austin area!"
- Chris F.
★★★★★
"We met Ben at an open house in the area where we were looking. His honesty, follow up, and interest convinced us quickly to work together to find a house. He was always available and quickly responsive to any questions. We bought the house in December 2019 and moved in January 2020. Ben was so helpful and easy to contact during the whole process. He checks in on us consistently post-sale. Confident they are there with any questions we may have. Great team to work with!

"Ben Pierson at Compass is amazing. He helped me sell my house in under two weeks. He went above and beyond helping me get my house ready and advising me on what to do, and he helped me find a new place to live. Ben is the best!

"Ben Pierson was referred to us by a very good friend who had recently moved to Austin and had an exceptional experience with the Gail and Ben Team at Compass buying their first home. We met Ben during our first trip to Austin. Ben patiently listened to our needs and took us around to view a few homes to confirm our liking. Since we are from out of town, his knowledge about Cedar Park, Leander, and Austin area was constructive. We had just started our search for a home, and not expecting to buy one right away. He kept in contact and reached out to us as soon as he found one he thought will fit our liking. We looked at the home on links he shared; did a video walkthrough of the house and we instantly liked it. We placed an offer and Ben worked back and forth with seller's agent, to close out the sale. He worked with the title company, mortgage bankers and the seller agent to ensure the transaction was seamless. He also assisted us in getting the inspections going, get a competitive homeowners insurance, stayed on top and was always available when we needed him for assistance and advisement. Ben is also incredibly personable. On top of being exceptionally good at his job, he felt like a friend after our first meeting and certainly is a friend now. In one conversation, I spoke to Gail, and I was amazed that she was equally knowledgeable about our particular requirements and the assistance we needed. We would recommend the Gail and Ben Team to anyone who wants a Realtor in Austin to get exactly the home they are looking for. Ben will work hard to make sure that you not only find a house but your home. Just call Gail and Ben!"

"It is with great pleasure to inform of how professional Gail has been throughout this entire process. It was a difficult time for myself and family with needing to close in 4 weeks from the initial search. She provided me with the needed support and encouragement to continue working towards my goal. Always being available to explain the process, I know I couldn't have done it without her expertise. It's been only two days since closing and am so eager to refer my family and colleagues to her. What an awesome job Gail helping make a dream come true!"
- Leslie J.
★★★★★
"Words cannot begin to describe the appreciation I have for Gail and Ben. This being our first home purchase, we were very nervous about the whole thing, to say the least. But Ben and Gail instructed us to "enjoy the ride; they have it handled." We definitely enjoyed the experience of our first home purchase. Their team made the whole experience as easy as baking a pie. Even when it came time to sign at closing I was very very nervous but Ben talked me off the ledge so to speak, and the process went without any issues. I would highly recommend Gail and Ben to anyone if I was asked my opinion and will recommend them to anyone I know looking for their new home. They went above and beyond and exceeded mine and my beautiful wife's expectations and got us our dream home. Thank you for everything!"
- Jamie P.

"What a blessing it was to work with Ben and Gail through a somewhat tumultuous, up and down emotional home buying experience. As seemingly one roadblock after another kept popping up, Ben was always available, always positive and encouraging. He continually exhibited a truly warm, professional demeanor. We knew he \really cared\"! We will recommend Ben and Gail to anyone looking for a new home. "
- Rick + Karen R.
★★★★★
"We had such a positive experience buying our first home with the Gail Huebel and Ben Pierson team as our realtors! They are both so attentive and thoughtful and really made the process seamless, answering all our questions and assuaging all our fears being first time buyers. They went above and beyond, bringing the closing papers and a notary after hours for us in our apartment when my husband and I couldn't get the time off our new jobs during business hours. They also worked with my in-laws when they were buying a house in Round Rock, and they were super happy with them as well. We all moved to Texas from the Northeast this summer and having such competent and professional realtors made the move so much smoother. I highly recommend the Gail and Ben team at Compass!"
- Kelly L.
★★★★★
"We had the best experience with Gail and Ben. They were patient and answered all our important and silly questions. We are in love with the home they helped us pick. Ben was a huge support system at our walkthroughs and was on top of our every question. We will forever use Gail and Ben for any real estate needs and refer them to anyone looking to sell or buy. Gail and Ben are both so amazing."
- Becky G.
★★★★★
"Gail and Ben provided exemplary service that exceeded our expectations. They were warm, kind, thoughtful and professional. They were helpful in areas that are not necessarily related to that of an agent. Gail and Ben were available at every step of the process. We would use them again and would highly recommend them to others in need of an agent."
- Mike + Jackie L.
★★★★★
"Ben was terrific and provided top-notch service to us throughout the entire process. We deeply appreciate his professionalism, his integrity and the fact that we felt he cared about us and as such acted in our best interests at all times. I would not hesitate in the least bit to recommend Ben's services to anyone else interested in selling or buying a house. There's not too much we can say about Gail other than she is a fierce competitor. Without going into the details, we are overall pleased with our experience with Compass."
