Ben Brackenridge

I met Ben recently when buying my first 'solo' property after going through a divorce. Ben has an engaging and easygoing nature, whilst also being highly professional and fully conversant with the ins and outs of the Gold Coast real estate world. I was nervous about my first property purchase as a single woman however Ben put me immediately at ease, and I must say, really went the extra mile for me. On several occasions he came to my place of work as I was unable to get away to attend to documents, and he was more than happy to show me the apartment several times so I could be absolutely certain it was the right one for me. Ben also personally attended the body corporate meeting on my behalf to ensure that my cat received body corporate approval. I have met quite a few agents since I started looking, and Ben really stands as the most professional and personable, he is also a great communicator and really knows his stuff. I would recommend him to any buyer or seller without hesitation.

I found Ben to be wonderfully professional and warm in his approach to everything we asked him to do throughout the selling process. Both my wife and I found it was a breath of fresh air from one of the younger generation. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ben to anyone who is in need of his professional services.
