How We Work
We begin by listening—closely. Understanding your goals, concerns, and the drivers behind your decisions allows us to align every step with your best interest. From there, we apply industry-leading technology, real-time market data, and advanced pricing strategies to position your property or search with clarity and precision. While tools are important, it’s the insight gained from decades of experience—navigating nuance, spotting opportunity, and negotiating with purpose—that makes the difference in helping you reach a successful closing.

Client Testimonials
Ben got the job done and we are thrilled with the result! We wanted to sell our shopping center in the northeast Atlanta suburbs but wanted to do it quietly — we don't like seeing our properties out on the internet for the whole world to see, but at the same time, we wanted a good price. Ben brought us a quality purchaser who was willing to hit our number (and actually, a little more). It was a lightning-fast process — a quick due diligence and a five-day close. We're out of town on the West Coast and the purchaser was also out of town, so Ben was our boots on the ground and got it across the finish line. We would definitely work with Ben again in the future.
Ben successfully sold a retail center in the northern Atlanta suburbs for us. We got a great price that we were thrilled with, but more importantly, as out-of-town owners, Ben served as our boots on the ground. And we needed an army — there were significant issues that arose requiring Ben's network of vendors and an attorney, and Ben quarterbacked a complicated transaction to a successful closing. Ben was creative at times and an aggressive advocate for us when we needed it. We would definitely work with Ben in the future.
Thank you for getting us to the successful sale of Dothan Wendy’s! The investment group is very pleased with the result and how you helped us step by step through the process. We are especially grateful for you guiding us through the title clearance and lease assignment issues. You did a great job marketing the opportunity and finding the right buyer who could deal with the title and lease issues as well as getting us a great price. You made everything smooth and easy, and we look forward to working with you on the next deal. Thank you!
A friend referred me to Ben as the broker who could get the job done for us with our investment property in Atlanta. Ben told it to us like it was and warned that the number we had in mind was very aggressive, but doable if we could be patient. In the end, Ben got us a great price — above what the market initially suggested — but what he said was possible with patience. He guided us through the process and handled a very demanding buyer skillfully. We’d be pleased to work with Ben again.
I’ve worked with many real estate brokers over the years — heck, I even used to be one — so I know what goes into getting a deal done. The problem with most agents is commission comes first, even though they’ll never admit it. I can tell you that Ben put the deal first, and that’s what got me the high end of market value. I found Ben to be a hardworking, honest professional that I’d definitely use again.
Ben successfully sold an office building for me and was great to work with. I had the luxury of time, and he was patient and diligent as we pursued a top-of-market price. We were just about to go in one direction when, at the last minute, he advised changing course and produced a far greater outcome for me. My best interests took priority over fees, and I was very pleased with the result. I would definitely work with Ben again.
We recently acquired a large retail center through traditional capital markets. The acquisition excluded the pin corner outparcel in front of our newly acquired center. Acquiring that missing piece would square off and complete our city block and be an important strategic parcel for us in the future. We turned to Ben to pursue the acquisition off-market, and he broke through and made it happen.
Ben, please know how much I appreciate you and all your work in selling my retail center. This was the first time I have sold commercial real estate, and I am very grateful for the coaching, guidance, and advice you provided through every step of the process. You got us through a huge unexpected zinger right at the end, and we are happy as anything that it’s all behind us. For the first time in my life, I will have one business to focus on. I’m happy about that, my wife is happy, and we are thankful. I don’t plan on buying a retail center anytime soon, but if and when I do, I would definitely work with Ben again.
Ben has the ability to see things others don’t see. His background as an attorney enables him to move nimbly where other brokers stumble, and his land and development experience is rare among “investment guys.” I have transacted over a billion dollars in real estate, and I can say working with Ben was one of the smoothest deals I have personally been involved in. I am looking forward to our next deal.
Thank you, Ben, for guiding the successful sale of Ashley Plaza! The investment group is very pleased with the result and how you helped us step by step through the process. We are especially grateful for the $80,000 you saved us through your negotiation skills. You did a great job of making the center, the leases, and the rent roll look great in the market to drive value and get us a great price. You made everything smooth and easy, and we look forward to working with you on the next deal that we’ve already asked you to sell for us! Thank you!
Ben successfully sold one of my babies for me — a big retail center that I built and managed myself for over 10 years. Not only did he get top-of-market price, but he also navigated several unexpected hiccups along the way to protect the price and the deal when I lost two tenants halfway through. His experience, knowledge, and skills really kept the deal together and got us across the finish line. Ben was particularly skillful in bridging the gap between my ‘mom & pop tenants’—used to the “way we do things here”—and the expectations of the international purchaser who was willing to pay top dollar. He gave me good and honest advice, even when it wasn’t something that would speedily get the deal closed… he really kept my best interest at the forefront! That’s what I appreciate more than anything else. I would definitely use Ben again to sell other properties.
