Ben Sweet

You are probably wondering why you only see 5 star reviews and thinking to yourself, are these reviews all actually real? Yes they absolutely are. Ben is very professional, timely, and knowledgeable. The current covid market has become a little bit unpredictable and very fast paced with extremely limited inventory in our price range. Ben was ready to jump at anything that peaked our interest right away. Most the time I felt like I was his only client as to how much focus he put in our interests. Upon taking us on what seemed like numerous property walk throughs (we were quite picky), he was quick to point out things of interest right away. He was thorough, funny and very personable. As a first time home buyer, you aren't quite sure what you need in a realtor. Ben is all those things you don't even think about. His knowledge base is extensive and will aid you in making the right purchase. I cannot recommend Ben enough, trust me, you will be left in good hands. Solid 10/10. - Niko Doikas

Professional and knows their stuff! Highly recommended! Ben is great and so is his team! You won't regret hiring him, he sold our house in 7 days! His marketing is on point! - Naz Elamine

We had a great experience with Ben. He really took the time to get to know us, what we value and what we were looking for in a home. Most importantly, it seemed to us that Ben was in the realtor business for the right reasons - to provide valuable information and thus help us throughout the biggest investment decision of our lives. It never felt that it was all about the money. Ben explained everything in detail, kept us well informed at all times, and was quick to act when an opportunity presented itself. We always felt in great hands and would recommend him anytime. - Nicole Schaefer

What an amazing experience. Ben was very patient walking us through all the steps, helping us with challenges and always available when needed (no matter what time or day of the week. I would highly recommend Ben and his team of professionals. - Pilar Gimenez Melo

I've used Ben Sweet and Associates a number of times, and I have always been completely at e ase and satisfied with their service. Recently, in the midst of a global pandemic, the challenges seemed insurmountable. I live part-time in the US so you can imagine the challenges (quarantining, having my house 'show ready', etc.) we faced trying to sell my home in Calgary. Ben was fantastic, going above and beyond, every step of the way. I had no choice but to ask for extra service and Ben never hesitated. I can't recommend Ben and his team enough! - Blythe Ibatuan

Ben was great! This is the first house that I have ever purchased and I feel very confident in my buying decision thanks to him. Ben was very knowledgeable about the various neighbourhoods that we visited and he provided a lot of good insight on the houses that we viewed. He also ensured that the houses we looked met my needs and fit my lifestyle. If you are looking for a real estate agent, I highly recommend Ben. - Rhys Witzke

Ben made every aspect of both selling and buying a home very easy, stress free and transparent. He always provided an honest, no pressure - professional opinion and was willing to work endlessly to ensure his clients were happy. If you have even the smallest inkling of hiring a realtor, save yourself the time and energy searching and go with Ben - you'll be glad you did! - Kyle Fode

We are so glad we called Ben to sell our house. He is very professional and knowledgeable. He sold our house in 5 days for more than asking price!! He was available for texts and emails anytime and was willing to meet with us whenever we asked. He made it painless and actually a bit fun! We would highly recommend Ben ti anyone wanting to buy or sell their home. He is the best!!!! - Michelle Thurlow

Ben was recommended to me by an associate. I could tell right away he would do a good job for us. He came with knowledge, recommendations of how best to market the property, the type of buyers we could expect. After doing market research he recommended a price which was higher than I thought we could get based on current prices in the area; he turned out to be right, we got more. After signing with him he went right to work, within a week of listing and going "Live", we had our first offer. In the end we ended up taking an offer that was higher than the first offer and getting a possession date sooner, which we wanted. I can"t say enough, he did a great job, was professional, a get it done kind of guy. - Dean Fargey

Ben really helped put us at ease while selling our house during the COVID pandemic. He frequently touched base with us. When issues arose with other realtors or showings he was sure to communicate with both us and the other party to ensure matters were dealt with. Our expectations as sellers were also very clearly communicated so there were no surprises at the end. The entire process was seemless, which was super helpful during these uncertain times and with a young family. - Jessica Conti

Ben Sweet and his Associates assisted us through the selling process with expertise and professionalism. We were given up to date information of the weekly market activity in our neighborhood. Our decisions were respected and our concerns were clarified. These are trying times, and with circumstances beyond our control, we are glad to have dealt with Ben who is very well versed in his craft. Thank you! - Renevie T

I would recommend Ben and his team to anyone who is looking for a competent, knowledgeable, honest realtor. I would use him again in a heartbeat. P.S, the brownies were awesome and a very nice touch. :) Della - Della Lavalley

Besides being a great salesperson he has a wonderful personality. One you could ask any questions and if he didn't know the answer right then he would find it for you. I found Ben to be excellent in all aspects of me buying my condo. I would recommend him for all your real estate dealings. - Donna Hill

Ben Sweet and Associates were efficient and they know their craft. Ben took time to explain the market with us and answered our questions. We are grateful to have worked with him in selling our house. - Arvin Torrecampo

I was selling my house and Ben made the whole process stress free. Ben is a great listener, communicator and very knowledgeable of the market. He's always positive and is very passionate. I would highly recommend Ben to help buy or sell a property. - Josh Wilkins

Ben is a phenomenal realtor! I am happy to say that he helped me to find a property that I am very satisfied with. During the home search Ben was attentive and professional, he remained in close contact and was easily reached by phone, text or email whenever I had a question or something to discuss. What I really appreciated about Ben is that he was very forthcoming about the properties we viewed - he always gave his honest opinion and if a property had any flaws he was the first to point them out and provide feedback. If you are looking for a home don't hesitate to select Ben as your realtor! - Jessica Weir

Ben and Meredith were top drawer agents to work with. Ben's negotiation skills were outstanding. We finalized the price well over what I personally had expected when we received an offer. Communication was always efficient and timely - Ben was quick to reply to any questions that came up through the process. These are honest, hardworking people who acted in our best interest at all times. I would 100% recommend working with their team and will hire them again if the need were to arise. - Jenny Thompson

Ben has helped us in both the selling of our home(s) and the purchase of our home(s) over many years. Ben has always been honest, straight-forward and very easy to deal with. He handles all of the details of a sale, from staging the home, to suggestions for upgrades, as well as providing assistance with coordinating outside services to prepare the home for sale. He is extremely professional when negotiating as both a buyer's agent and a seller's agent. I have recommended Ben to family and friends for years and will continue to do so for many years to come. - AJ

Ben and Meredith were very helpful with both our sale and purchase of a new property. Ben was very patient with us while we impatiently awaited our sale. On the purchase side, Meredith helped us narrow down a perfect home to move our family into. - Owen Conti

Ben and his team are professional, reliable and responsive. I have truly enjoyed working with them over the years. And I always feel like I’m their only client. They are honest and my expectations are well managed so the buying and selling experience is the best it can be. You are in great hands with Ben and his team. - AJ Jones

Ben helped us out of tight jam during the purchase of our first house. We bought 4 more houses through Ben and he has always been there for us. Ben helped us buy one house while we were 3000km's away! I would definitely recommend Ben to anyone. A great and honest guy! - Tim Bryan

This is our fifth real estate deal we have done and Ben is by far the best real estate professional we have ever worked with. He knows what he is doing and it shows. He knows the market inside and out & knows exactly what to price your offers at. As well, Ben made some very important suggestions in terms of how to make the deal happen that without those suggestions we would have never been able to get it. As well, Ben is very detail orientated. He was on top of every single detail and was head of everything. Like I said - this is our fifth property we have owned and Ben has been better then all the other agents we have worked with put together. - Jason Nyback

Meredith Miller is outstanding! We started working with her when we were still located in Toronto and she provided us with all the needed information and people to contact to ensure the purchase went smoothly! She always answered her phone OR would text immediately letting us know when she'd contact us back - and always did. She is so sweet and so fun to be around! I'd highly recommend her when purchasing a home! This is our third house purchase and she is by far the best real estate agent we've ever had. We will definitely be using her should we decide to sell or purchase again down the road. - Kari Kemp

I highly recommend Meredith! She was a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond to ensure that we got the house of our dreams. As first-time home buyers, we ran into some unexpected issues, but Meredith dealt with everything for us and helped us out every step of the way. Meredith's communication was excellent, and she was always quick to respond to our questions. She also did an amazing job of accommodating our Calgary house purchase virtually, as we were located in Ottawa at the time of purchase. We don't anticipate selling our house any time soon because it really is our dream house, but if we ever do, we will absolutely work with Meredith again! - Meg Stewart

Ben was amazing!!! When we contacted him about looking to buy a home, he started by listening to what we were looking for and providing suggestions/ideas that we hadn't thought of, then he worked with us to identify properties that met our criteria. During site visits he was honest and open with us about both the good and the bad things about each property, and how both the good and the bad aspects would affect our enjoyment as well as the possible resale value. Ben was great at laying things out for us in an unbiased manner, and allowing us to make our own decision based on our wants and needs. When it came time to make an offer and negotiate, we were pleasantly surprised with how up-front he was with us and clearly outlined the strategy to get a great price for us. Once the offer was accepted he was always there to answer questions and walk us through the process of closing the deal and getting the keys. When it came to listing our old home, he was equally as amazing and helped us set up our place for photos and viewings, timed our offer perfectly, and negotiated with our interests in mind. My experience with Ben was absolutely great, and based on his performance I would highly recommend him as a real estate agent for someone who is serious about buying or selling a home. - Andrew D

Ben has helped me with 3 property sales/purchases and he is nothing short of the best. He's always up to date on current market conditions and expectations. He is willing to spend as much time as I need time discussing and working through all the property's large and small details. What I appreciate most about Ben is that he really works hard to make sure I am getting exactly what I want for a fair price. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone buying or selling in Calgary. - Alison Davison

My experience with Ben Sweet was excellent. During a downturn in the market for townhomes, Ben was able to get multiple offers for my residence. We had many ups and downs throughout the process but Ben handled everything with great patience and professionalism. His advice and negotiating skills were top notch. We were able to close at very agreeable terms. For any future real estate needs he’ll be my first call. I would recommend him and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell. - Mark Hood

Ben has assisted in both buying and selling properties and with each he provided the highest level of effort and recommendations. He is quick to respond and was able to sell our condo quickly and in turn help us find a new home. Each time was a great experience and I would not hesitate to work with Ben again. - Regan Crippen

At the time I asked Ben to list my home, there were 3 other homes listed for sale on the same block. They all represented direct competition against my home and all three had been on the MLS for at least 90 days. Ben inspected the interiors of these three listings and based on their prices, he recommended a complete marketing strategy for my home. In today's tough economic times, it is imperative that every homeowner finds an honest, experienced, professional realtor who will market their property at a "price point" that will maximize the sale price. Ben certainly demonstrated all of those characteristics in the sale of my home. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone considering the purchase or sale of real estate in the Calgary area. - Nee Zuki

Ben and Meredith are professional in every sense of the word! I have had many properties purchased and sold from these two and the knowledge and understanding exhibited by each has been on point and second to none! They offer a complete experience in purchasing or selling real estate and clients can be assured of outmost satisfaction in all details of the transaction. Both Meredith and Ben are articulate in multiple formats and communication is instant and easy. They are well ahead of the curve when determining market conditions and provide proper solutions to obtaining realistic goals for their clients. You are in great hands by choosing this team! - Dan Morrison

There are many areas in life where I recommend people when I find someone who is excellent at what they do. In Real Estate, without a doubt I send Ben Sweet's name to anyone who is even considering selling or buying a property. He is an outstanding professional and knows the Calgary market like no one else I have ever talked to. We were planning to sell our house in about a year and met with Ben when he outlined the buying and selling cycles in Calgary so we could list at the ideal time to maximize our profits. He went through our house, which we had not done a great deal of improvement on for the 10 years we lived there, and pointed out every thing (and I mean everything from a paint chip, to door knobs, to a bathroom that needed re-doing) that would reduce our profit from a buyers stand point. He knew the trends that were in houses that sold quickly and gave us the list to start working through. "The goal is to fix anything that would give a buyer a moment of pause to question purchasing." With the list he then helped prioritize the list if we did not want to do all of the work, it was up to us to make the decision. From the initial meeting, to the professional photo shoot, to staging, he was always checking in on how we were doing and what was happening with the market in our neighborhood as we approached listing target. Two properties listed a day before ours was scheduled and he advised waiting to see what happened and where the price action settled. We put all our trust in his experience for listing price and timing and we are so glad we did not let our emotions get in the way. He listed lower than we originally thought but he was confident that the market was short on houses and there were people who wanted into our community. After a few days, both houses sold. The day we listed at 8:30am, I finished the absolute LAST DETAIL on fixing up the house for sale. Agents flooded our house for three days, at times there were three agents with perspective clients in the house at the same time... Our house sold in 5 days and we far exceeded our expectations for the sale. Ben knows the market and houses. If you want someone you can trust and give your honest advice, and will honor how much or little you want to do to your property, Please call Ben... you will not regret it. It took all of the questions out of our sale for us. He gave us scenarios and left it up to us, but to be honest, we gave the decisions back to him because we know he had our best and highest interest in mind. We have referred many people to Ben and no doubt you will see their review here as well. Thank you Ben for all of your advise and support. - Paul Marlett

Ben and Meredith are a dream team. They were professional, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and well prepared. They were critical when they needed to be, and made sure that my best interests were kept in mind through out the process. My home sold in 5 days and I purchased my new home the day after the sale. Talk about seamless!! They even supervised the home inspections because I was out of town ... you just can't ask for better service. I would highly recommend Ben and Meredith and I wouldn't think of working with anyone else in Calgary. - Blythe Ibatuan

Darren Yee made my first home buying experience quick and painless, without any pressure and with clear explanations. He was able to provide me with options, show me the comparables, and explain why a certain place would be good, or bad for me. Within one meeting he had a great understanding of what I was looking for, and through negotiations found me an excellent selling price. He answers quickly and efficiently and kept me updated through each step of the process, which was a great help in soothing my worries and letting me feel excited about my new home. I will definitely work with Darren again! - Mary Anderson
