About Ben

Born in San Jose and raised in the Santa Cruz Mountains, I bring a lifetime of local knowledge and a deep understanding of what makes a space truly exceptional. My background in residential and commercial insurance sales allows me to see beyond the surface - anticipating challenges and ensuring clients make informed, strategic decisions.

 

As a lifelong entrepreneur, I’ve owned and operated a successful business in Aptos since age 27, honing a sharp eye for investment opportunities and an instinct for market trends. My work as a nationally and internationally exhibited artist, combined with experience in style and design, adds a creative edge to real estate - helping sellers showcase their properties at their best and guiding buyers to see the possibilities within a space.

 

Beyond transactions, my extensive network across business, art, and real estate connects clients with the right people to turn visions into reality. I don’t just facilitate purchases and sales; I uncover hidden value and deliver results that exceed expectations.

 

Real estate isn’t just about property, it’s about vision, strategy, and precision. My unique perspective transforms spaces into opportunities, ensuring every client’s goals are met with creativity and expertise.
