Ben D'Ovidio
Personal Real Estate Corporation

Ben was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was patient, understanding and never once made me feel judged. I was adamant about having no signs or open houses, and showings weren’t my favourite thing! I’m sure he got used to my “what do you want?” whenever he called. 😂 He was always kind and accommodating and his entire team was just as wonderful. House was sold in 3 days. Enough said. Totally recommend Ben and his team! - Helen K

After interviewing several realtors, Ben D’Ovidio and his team immediately stood out from the rest. From our very first meeting, Ben took the time to truly listen to our goals and formulated a customized strategy tailored specifically to our unique needs and timeline. It was incredibly refreshing to work with a professional who prioritizes his clients' objectives above all else, allowing us to build a solid foundation of trust right from the get-go. Ben is a premier, full-service realtor who remains fiercely dedicated to working on your behalf. He was exceptionally accessible throughout the entire process, consistently providing astute guidance. Thanks to his profound understanding of the market, particularly within Burnaby, his we successfully secured sales on both of our apartments in just two weeks, an incredible feat in a soft market where comparable properties continue to sit stagnant months later. Leveraging a robust professional network, Ben ensured that every moving part of these concurrent transactions was entirely seamless and stress-free. If you are searching for an honest, reliable, and deeply knowledgeable advocate in your corner, I cannot recommend the Ben D’Ovidio Group highly enough. - Aneal Galbaransingh

Selling our property was particularly challenging, not only because of the difficult real estate market but also due to a complicated situation involving my former partner. Ben handled everything with exceptional professionalism, patience, and firmness when needed. He navigated the challenges confidently and helped us successfully close the sale despite the tough market conditions. I truly appreciated his dedication, communication, and ability to manage a difficult situation. I highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a reliable and professional realtor! - Sarah Nasab

Ben guided our family through the sale of our long-time family home in Burnaby with professionalism, responsiveness and a very practical understanding of the local market. Selling a home that had been in our family for almost 40 years involved much more than simply putting a property on the market. Ben provided clear advice on preparing the house for sale, timing and pricing, and kept us well informed as we moved through the listing, offers, and negotiations. I particularly appreciated his negotiation skills and the guidance he provided as we worked through the offer and ultimately reached a successful sale. When questions or issues arose, he was responsive and helped us understand what needed to happen next. His knowledge of the Burnaby market and the neighbourhood was also evident throughout the process. The property sold quickly, and we were very pleased with how the transaction came together. I would happily recommend Ben to anyone looking for an experienced and knowledgeable Burnaby realtor. - Verna Gene

Top and knowledgable realtor. Always available and able to answer our questions. Supported our home sale and purchase during a tough market. Ben was able to use his market experience to help us with pricing strategies and marketing techniques that other less experienced realtors may not be aware of. - Ciaran Clarke

I googled the best realtor in Burnaby and found Ben D'Ovidio. I emailed him my requests; needs; pricing; etc and within hours he had emailed me a selection of condos. We picked our top 5 and that weekend he had us visit them. We were new to the procedure and scared of the unknown. So many things to know; learn and figure out- it was overwhelming. Ben walked us through every little step and explained verbally and on paper what we needed to know; do and expect. The more we visited the more pickier we got and poor Ben had to work hard to find our specifics and he did- very quickly! We found our gem from that weekend of visits and he got us down to an amount that we could live with in our financial means moving forward knowing we found a great condo in a great area with a great price he for us! I could go on and on but Ben will never know how much we appreciate his kindheartness as he walked us through things we were clueless about...from start to end - the transition was easy bc he made it so. He stayed by our sides with every question. I am so glad we found him and I have given his name to everyone we know! I can't say enough about his whole team. BRAVO to them all. THANK YOU SO MUCH BEN! You aren't on there as top 1% for nothing...you work hard and it is a well deserved and earned title! - Linda Di Giovanni

Ben was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, responsive, and efficient throughout the entire process. He was always available to answer my questions, kept everything moving smoothly, and made the experience much easier and less stressful. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable realtor! - Andrea

After attempting to sell our mom's home with another reputable agent for 4 months, we decided to have a fresh start and interviewed two different agents for the job. One set was slick and constantly selling their team's high ranking status. In contrast, Ben is humble, an actual top selling agent, is professional and was very honest about the market conditions. In the end, Ben was our clear choice and we are so happy with our decision! Ben provided weekly updates from the time we listed until it was sold. He was extremely helpful all along the process and he did an excellent job all the way through. We are so glad we chose Ben and we would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who wants a good experience in the process of getting their home sold. We would certainly hire Ben again should we ever need to sell another home! - Eleana Yip

I started working with Ben over a year ago to search for a home. He patiently worked with me, we looked at many houses, and he proactively sent me specific listings that fit my criteria, and even went to open houses on my behalf when I wasn't available. When friends accompanied me on any home viewings, afterwards they would remark on his knowledge and professionalism, since he would point out things that we wouldn't have considered. I never felt rushed or pressured into buying, he allowed me to take my time. In fact, in one instance, he said flat out "I won't let you buy this place" and pointed out several issues that I hadn't thought of! His knowledge of the various neighbourhoods in lower mainland, and the real estate market in general was extremely helpful. When we finally found the perfect place, he did an amazing job negotiating on my behalf, I still can't believe the deal he got me! I have worked with several very good realtors over the years in different cities and provinces, and Ben is easily the best one I've worked with. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again in the future, and after hearing of my experience, my friends plan to use him as well when they are ready to buy :) - Madeeha C.

Simply the best, can not recommend enough! Professional and so easy to work with. Happy with the price for the purchase - this says a lot;) and will work with him again! - S Wang

We chose the right agent to sell our mother’s luxury home! When it mattered most, especially in today’s challenging housing market, Ben’s experience, strong interpersonal skills, relentless drive and attention to detail made all the difference. His ongoing communication, honest feedback and commitment throughout the process was truly appreciated. We hope to have the opportunity to work with him again and would highly recommend Ben and his team! Maryann - Maryann V.

Ben is exceptional as a real estate professional and as a person. Our family home was on the market for 90 days with few showings and no offers. Then we decided to contact Ben to see if he could help sell our family home. He was honest, straightforward, and detailed a marketing plan that went beyond listing on the MLS. He was confident he could sell our house in two months. We understood this was a goal and not a guarantee. He prepared the listing and held a couple of open houses in the first couple of weeks. After each week, he provided up with a detailed report of the activity to sell the house. Before the second week ended, Ben received an offer and he was masterful in negotiating the remaining details to complete the sale. Truly, if you are looking to sell your home, save yourself time and frustration, particularly in this current market, and call Ben to get the job done! Thank you to Ben and his team! - Sabrina D.

I’m happy to recommend Ben D'Ovidio for the great work he did helping us sell our mother’s home. He was professional, easy to reach, and really helpful. He went out of his way to make sure the house looked its best and arranged for professional cleaners and a lawn care crew to get everything ready for potential buyers. Thanks to his great preparation, marketing, and expertise, our home sold in just one day! We were honestly amazed at how quickly and smoothly everything went. I’d definitely recommend Ben to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. His dedication, attention to detail, and commitment to his clients really made a difference, and we’re very grateful for all of his hard work. - Karen Brimacombe

Ben helped my wife and I navigate our first home purchase with a lot of care. His level of dedication went far beyond our expectations. We purchased a preconstruction condo, but unfortunately it fell through and the developer opted for rentals. Ben made sure we were one of the first to know this news. Even after the sale he was an incredible advocate for us. We couldn't have asked for a better expert to guide us through the process even though it didn't end as we'd hoped! - Brian Donnelly

Ben is a true professional, he took care of everything and sold our condo in a difficult market. We're very happy with the service he provided and highly recommend him to others looking for a experienced realtor. Thank you Ben! - Lauren Kulokas

He helped us both sell our townhouse within the right timeline and find a new place we truly love—all within just two months. Throughout the process, he always respected our pace and decisions, which made a huge difference for us. He was consistently available, flexible with our schedules, and provided clear, thoughtful guidance every step of the way. We always felt well-informed and supported, which made the entire experience much less stressful. We’re incredibly grateful for his help and would recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and professional realtor. - Nairwita Dutta

Ben came highly recommended by a friend. We interviewed a few agents before meeting Ben. We met him, he was very professional and well prepared. We felt very confident he would get the job done! Within a very short time, about a week, our condo was sold, we couldn't believe it. We highly recommend Ben D'Ovidio, he's professional, very knowledgeable, his marketing is second to none and he's also very personable. - john Leckman

If you are looking for a realtor, I would definitely recommend working with Ben! - Christina Thai

As a developer, I have used a few realtors in my time. I can tell you Ben is one of the best; thorough humble and excellent results. This was in a tough market, which is even more impressive. Surj Uppal Township Design and Renovation - Surj Uppal

It would be an understatement to say that the 2025–2026 Vancouver real estate market has been slow. We had first listed our home in June 2025 with a different realtor. The property remained on the market for four months without receiving a single offer. Disappointed but determined, we decided to take it off the market, make some strategic improvements and relist in the new year. This time, we committed to interviewing a short list of realtors before making our decision. From our very first sit-down meeting with Ben, we felt a strong sense of confidence in his ability to represent us. Marcel is naturally someone who likes to stay in control—sometimes to the point of micromanaging and becoming overly involved. But he left that meeting feeling something rare: complete trust. We both knew we could step back, allow Ben to take the lead, and confidently let go of the burden. What truly impressed us was his systematic and disciplined approach to marketing our property. His strategy included regularly scheduled cold calls to other agents, targeted social media campaigns, and the creation of a highly polished, visually compelling listing. Every detail felt intentional. We signed our listing agreement with Ben on a Friday, planning for the property to go live the following Tuesday. By Thursday—just two days after hitting the market— we had seven groups tour the home and we received our first offer. Although that particular offer ultimately fell through, about a month later we received a second offer that was successfully accepted. The buyers were young and understandably cautious following their inspection. The report reflected typical issues one would expect in an older home—which ours was. It was during the negotiation process that Ben’s skill truly stood out. The back-and-forth between him and the buyer’s agent required experience, creativity, and composure. We placed full confidence in him, giving him a price threshold we were comfortable with and allowing him to manage the rest. When he secured an acceptable offer and brought the deal to completion, we were relieved and grateful. It wasn’t until afterwards, in speaking with Ben, that we fully understood just how much work, strategy, and creative negotiation had gone into getting the transaction across the finish line. We are incredibly grateful for his expertise, professionalism, and steady leadership throughout the entire process. - Marcel and Celia De Luca
