20 out of 10! Definitely the best realtor that we have had the privilege to work with! Ben was an absolutely wonderful and knowledgeable agent who went above and beyond to help us find our dream home with everything that we were looking for. He took the time to go through everything we needed to know prior to purchasing, and was extremely accommodating in scheduling the viewings based on our tight schedules. He kept us honest by openly sharing his incredible insights about the markets, and his advice/estimation was on point every single time. Throughout the process, we had never felt that we were rushed to place an offer. Ben respected our slower pace to find the right place, and truly had our best interests at heart. We have complete trust in Ben and could not be happier with the service that he provided! 100% would recommend to anyone who is looking for an awesome realtor! - Skylar

I recently sold my condo and bought a new condo. We had several meetings to make a strategy on how we can move forward smoothly selling and buying. He has high professionalism and easy working together. He explained the Vancouver market, so I agree he is #1 Realtor in this market, not only showing the advertisement. He knows market trends well and prepares huge assets transactions for selling and buying. I was very impressed with his service and taking care of the client's needs and expectations. I can't find the word for giving him my appreciation. He treats me not as a client, I feel he is my brother. Thank you Ben, My Brother ! - charlie shin

Used Ben to buy my first home. As luck had it, the very first place I looked at ticked all my boxes. Ben took a look at the place and thought about the competition. He licked a finger and stuck it into the air to feel what the prevailing market winds were and said "we should offer this much". I went subject free and it turns out he was bang on- we were the second highest offer but we won the place because top offer had a subject. Good and smooth experience- very responsive. - Michael Guidi

Ben was a pleasure to work with. We were pretty clear about what we would and wouldn’t accept as sellers and in a difficult time of market, he managed to navigate the fast changing scene along with our time frame and stipulations and bring us to closing in a timely and satisfactory manner. I would heartily recommend Ben if you are considering selling, you won’t be disappointed. - Sam Knowles

We had the pleasure of working with Ben as our realtor when my partner and I were in the market to buy our first home in British Columbia. I must say that Ben exceeded our expectations in every aspect of the home-buying process. His professionalism, experience, and attention to detail truly set him apart. From the moment we met Ben, it was evident that he had a wealth of knowledge and experience in the real estate industry. Navigating the competitive real estate market and the blind bidding process is intimidating for first-time homebuyers like us. However, Ben's expertise and strategic guidance were instrumental in our success. He took the time to understand our preferences and priorities, and then skillfully tailored our search to align with our needs. During the bidding process, Ben provided us with comprehensive market analysis and insights, ensuring that we had a thorough understanding of the current market conditions. His knowledge and experience were evident as he advised us on an appropriate offer strategy, considering factors such as the property's value, market demand, and competition. Thanks to Ben's guidance and meticulous attention to detail, we were able to submit a strong offer that resonated with the seller. We were thrilled when we learned that our first offer had been accepted, and we attribute our success to Ben's expertise and support throughout the entire process. One of the things that impressed me the most about Ben was his willingness to go the extra mile. As newcomers to homeownership, we had a lot of questions about maintenance and care for the house since we had previously only lived in apartments. Ben patiently answered all of our inquiries and provided us with invaluable advice on how to properly take care of our new home. His expertise gave us peace of mind and made us feel confident in our decision. Furthermore, Ben's thoughtfulness extended beyond the transaction itself. Upon closing the deal and moving into our new home, we were pleasantly surprised to receive housewarming gifts from him. It was such a kind gesture and showed that he genuinely cares about his clients and their happiness. Overall, I cannot recommend Ben highly enough. His professionalism, experience, and efficiency in handling transactional details were exceptional. His willingness to educate and guide first-time homebuyers like us was truly commendable. Ben's commitment to his clients and his thoughtfulness in going the extra mile set him apart from other realtors. If you're looking for a real estate agent who will provide top-notch service and make your home-buying experience enjoyable, Ben is the person to call. - Zhuoyun Wei

Ben was awesome to work with selling our family home in 24 days and negotiating a great offer. Invested, likeable and energetic, Ben shared his knowledge and kept in close contact with us. He was professional, dedicated and totally committed to working for us. He oversaw the discovery, removal and remediation of an oil tank discovered under ground on the property. Ben was all in, liaising with the crew to get that work done while we were away, kept us updated and sent photos of the progress. He also shoveled snow off the driveway for an early morning showing of the house! The whole process from listing to selling and after sales support was handled with incredible attention to detail, a great marketing strategy and in the most business savvy way. - Karen Devito

It was such a pleasure working with Ben D'Ovidio once again. He is one of few realtors who go the extra mile, looking out for your interest and explaining everything you need or want to know. We are impressed with his knowledge, professionalism and execution on how fast he handled our sale on very short notice 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 - Lucy
Reply: Thanks again!!!! You are amazing!
I engaged Ben to sell a home belonging to a deceased relative. I had never sold a home and certainly not in a market as volatile as Vancouver during the bubble shrink of summer/fall 2022. Ben was the most up front of the half dozen realtors I contacted regarding selling the home. He was the first to get back to me after my initial wave of emails, the most direct, the easiest to set up a meeting with and he didn't try to sell me the usual spiel of misc garbage that all salespeople seem to throw around - certainly less than when I searching for a realtor to buy my own home in Saskatchewan. Ben worked with me despite being 1800km from the property. He got me a excellent price on the sale and it was a pleasant, professional experience throughout. He assisted me in engaging a conveyance lawyer to deal with the BC/Vancouver specific aspects of the sale and offered his staff to assist with anything I needed regarding the home. He was in frequent contact and was patient while unexpected issues surrounding the will arose. Overall my experience was excellent and having Ben on my side of sale greatly eased an already overwhelming process in dealing with an estate without a properly setup will. If ever I need to buy or sell another property in the GVA, he will be my first call. - Zachary Sohm

Ben advised of strata bylaws accordingly and explained basic and intermediate things to looks for when purchasing a home which as a first time home buyer I really appreciated.

Ben was referred to me by someone I know and he described Ben as the best in town. I met Ben and he was so friendly and professional. He has the patience of a saint because I bombarded him with so many questions. Ben is extremely knowledgeable and is truly an expert in his field. I cannot say enough about Ben because he sold my place within a day of the weekend open house at the price I was truly hoping for. Ben goes above and beyond for his clients and I am still in awe of his expertise. If you want to buy or sell a home, contact Ben. You won't regret it. - Lise

Ben is a most amazing realtor. Our family is lucky to come to know and work with Ben. He assisted with selling and purchasing a number of properties for various members of our family in the last few years. Through all these business transactions and interactions, we came to know Ben quite well. He has time for you, treats you with respect and courtesy, cares about your wellbeing, and works totally for you. He is reliable, always there for you, unfailingly communicative, and supports you in every way. Ben operates out of vast real estate know-hows and networks. Additionally, he has introduced us to so many amazing professionals and tradespersons who came to support us in the process. We plan to retain their services. We appreciated Ben’s kind, friendly, and good-humoured nature. We had many moments of laughter together in our interaction via text messages, emails, and in-person, which made potentially tense situations in this business of buying and selling properties flowing with ease, assurance, and comfort. - HEESOON BAI
