About Ben

Real estate is rarely just a transaction; for most, it’s the most significant financial milestone of a lifetime. Because the stakes are so high, I believe you deserve more than a formulaic approach. My role is to act as your "Sherpa"—a dedicated guide who listens to your unique narrative and navigates the complexities of the market with unwavering stewardship.

My professional DNA was forged in the high-stakes world of commercial real estate. With an MBA and two decades of experience, I’ve managed nearly $1 billion in assets and navigated $500 million in complex debt restructurings. This technical edge allows me to treat your capital with the same rigor and protective oversight as a major institutional investment. Whether I'm analyzing a residential sale or purchase, I bring a deep understanding of value-add opportunities. Having developed over 100 ADUs and re-designed several buildings, I know exactly how to unlock a property’s hidden potential and maximize its worth.

Despite these credentials, I never lose sight of the human element. My perspective is grounded in the values I learned growing up in Chicago—where your word is your bond and reputation is everything. I put the Real in Real Estate. Having called Hillsborough/San Mateo home for many years, my wife and I are raising our two daughters here, which offers my clients an insider’s view of the local lifestyle and a commitment to protecting their interests above all else.

Outside of the office, my passion for landscape, design, art, and architecture has been fueled by travels to over 50 countries. This global aesthetic informs how I view the potential in every space I represent. I also continue to show my love to food and Chicago sports.

Ultimately, my purpose is to help you cut through the noise. Whether you are searching for the ‘right’ home or transitioning to that ‘next’ home, I’m here to ensure you move into your next chapter with total peace of mind.
