Fantastic experience: This five-star rating fully reflects my experience with Ben Wightman as my trusted realtor. About a year ago in late November 2023, I decided to downsize because I was getting older. I asked Ben to put on the rental market my townhouse in the last segment of Besserer Street, Ottawa. Two days later, the house was rented to a pleasant young man from Western Canada studying at UOttawa. When, after a full year's stay in the house -- that Ben made easier for me by monitoring occupancy issues as they emerged -- my tenant decided to temporarily move abroad, I asked Ben to test the market for a possible sale. That was early December of this year: two days later, Ben presented me with three offers, all from young couples wishing to settle in Ottawa. Once the most convenient offer had been selected, Ben supervised and coordinated the transaction with all interested parties. All I had to do was call my lawyer once and provide him with Ben's name and phone number. I am now looking forward to the early closing date Ben has managed to arrange, with all steps in the process cleared by him. I'll say no more. André Scialom 20 The Driveway, Ottawa

He was always quick to prepare paperwork and answer our questions, showing deep market knowledge and experience in his answers. He provided a guiding hand in the offer process without being pushy. Ryan led on the sale of our townhouse, which was also seamless. Being out of town and having tenants made careful management a must.

Fantastic experience: We hired Ben for the second time to help us sell our house and buy our new one. The entire experience was great and the result was even better.

His advice is always sound and backed by clear data and reasoning and his team makes sure that all the right things happen when they should. He isn't happy with good, he pushes for great.

Fantastic experience: Ben was amazing at helping us buy and sell a home. He reduced the overall stress with the entire process. We were worried at first at the suggestion of buying first and selling second but he was absolutely right on all of his advice. His strategy has adapted to the current real estate market and he keeps on top of current trends. His best advice was making sure we were well informed with our offer price. We went in fully expecting to have to go through this process a few times. We won our first bid due to Ben's advice. Ben set great expectations on what a home would sell for and what to expect from competing offers. His skills at selling a home were perfect as well. He timed everything well and pushed to list before the spring rush. He set up the connections for getting the home staged and getting some minor repairs done. His reassurance during the showing process eased the stress and in the end we were happy. His confidence in suggesting a sale price and getting interest was key in getting multiple offers.

Fantastic experience: Ben made the sale of our home/purchase of our new home extremely quick and painless, and was always available to talk. He marketed our house perfectly, and found us exactly what we were looking for. He is definitely who we'll be looking to for any future purchases.

Fantastic experience: Ben was amazing when it came to the sale of my condo. He was able to effectively evaluate the market and take advantage of the fact inventory was very low. He also did a phenomenal job managing the sale while the unit was tenant occupied. He managed to work well with the tenant and his concerns while simultaneously ensuring my needs as the owner were met. This was especially impressive considering staging the unit for sale, and getting the unit freshly painted all needed to be done in a very tight window of time. Two thumbs up, I would highly recommend Ben for your real estate needs.

Al

Fantastic experience: Ben helped me sell a townhouse and purchase a condo. The condo purchase went really smoothly. I was worried about the process of selling my house as there had been some issues to address. Ben laid out a reasonable set of fixes to make and coordinated all of the work. He was able to reduce the overall stress involved in the process a lot and gave what I felt was very reasonable advice. The house also managed to sell for a good deal more than I had been expecting based on comparable properties and I attribute that to Ben's efforts.

Fantastic experience: We had a fantastic experience working with Ben, who supported us for almost 5 years of searching for the right home in the right neighborhood. He is very knowledgeable of homes and the market, and was quick to give us information on upcoming properties that might fit our criteria. When we found the right house, Ben guided us through the best approach to be the successful buyer in a competitive situation, then quickly turned his focus from buying to selling our existing home, which was accomplished in 5 days at $20k over asking. We highly recommend Ben and his team!

Fantastic experience: Ben was amazing to work with. He's very organized and knowledgeable with respect to the City and it’s neighbourhoods.

He made our search for a new house in a new city stress free.

Fantastic experience: I was so nervous about selling my house but Ben made sure everything went smoothly. My house was only on the market for a couple days and it sold for a much higher price than I expected! I couldn't have asked for a better Realtor!

Fantastic experience: We cannot speak highly enough of Ben. Our process to buy a home had every possible obstacle. My wife was commuting by plane each week from Mississauga to Ottawa, we were having a hard time selling our Mississauga home, we had only ever lived in the suburbs, we had no idea of Ottawa neighbourhoods, and we had to squeeze home viewings into very tight windows when I could fly down. Luckily, Ben overcame all of these and helped us-with knowledge, patience, kindness, guidance and expertise-to find the dream home we did not know we wanted ! Right on the canal, close to downtown, a beautiful Georgian style townhome that we love. All the while, we had total confidence in Ben. He took the time we needed to look and decide, he knew the neighbourhoods and their strengths and weaknesses, he was a skilled negotiator and a great person to see homes with. No hard sell, he always made us aware of things to consider when we fell for a home that maybe wasn’t the right fit. He was available at all times and went above and beyond to take care of us. We have recommended him to others without hesitation. Especially since after the sale he was there to help us with spot on recommendations for services like storage and contractor. If you want to buy or sell a home, and you need an expert agent who you can trust completely, Ben is who you want

Fantastic experience: We had been searching for a family house for a while, when we decided to contact Ben. We had worked with many agents prior and we were a little unsure how it would turn out. However, Ben instantly understood exactly what we were looking for. We appreciated his honesty and advice while he patiently helped us search for what we were looking for. When we flipped around to sell our house, Ben supported us through each step of that process making it very simple for us (which was key when selling with young kids!). We highly recommend him. He’s patient, honest, and personable.

Fantastic experience: When we started our search, we weren't really sure what we were looking for. Within the first few house visits, Ben was able to navigate the things we liked and the things that we didn't - and very quickly we were seeing houses that started to line up with our interests. Ben was very patient throughout our 10 month search, and always willing to answer all of our questions in a speedy manner. The final property we saw, was one that he thought would be perfect for us, and he was right. We toured the property and fell in love with the house. He was incredibly helpful throughout the sale and closing process - and represented us with full transparency, and with our best interests in mind. We recommend Ben very highly to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and friendly agent. Jordy + Sara

Fantastic experience: Ben had an offer for my asking price within 4 days of listing with him. He also shepherded the closing process with great attention to detail. I highly recommend Ben for both sellers and buyers.

Fantastic experience: Ben just completed the sale of our daughter's house due to a marriage breakup. The house was quite a sales challenge due to its size & layout. Ben was very patient & understand dealing with a generally difficullt situation all around. We are very pleased with the end result getting the house sold on a timely basis & our target sales figure. We look forward to working with Ben in the future & would certainly recommend him to friends & family.

Fantastic experience: I have known Ben for 5+ years and worked with him when I purchased my present home. Ben also sold my home in Kanata when I decided to make the move closer to the country. It only took 2 weeks!! My daughter and I found a property, Ben prepared the Offer and then my house was put on the market. It took only 2 days to get an offer. All conditions for the purchase of my new home and sale of my present home were satisfied in 2 weeks. Recognizing that we were selling late the season, Ben was quick to get everything in place so we could get the house on the market and prepare for an Open House. The offer came in before the Open House! Ben's attention to detail and expertise made this process seamless and more than comfortable. I would not use any other realtor, as Ben is not only an expert in his field but he is also an honest and caring individual. Thanks Ben for taking the worry out of this process. You're awesome!

Fantastic experience: We recently worked with Ben to sell our home. He is incredibly personable, friendly, and easy to talk to and work with. He is always quick to respond to questions and easy to get ahold of. This was our second time working with Ben and we would unreservedly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor.

Fantastic experience: Ben patiently worked with us for over two years to help us find the home that met all of our many wants and needs. He was very accommodating to our schedules and promptly responded to our many (many!) questions. His advice was honest and always took into account our best interests, while his knowledge and keen eye for the strengths and weaknesses of a house and its neighbourhood were an invaluable asset. When the right house came up Ben moved at light speed to arrange for us to see it within two hours of its listing and came prepared for us to be able to make an offer that same evening, allowing us to purchase a home without a bidding war in a heated market. We would wholeheartedly recommend Ben to our friends and anyone else.

Fantastic experience: There’s no better agent in Ottawa. After working with less experienced realtors who didn’t make great suggestions or we’re really knowledgeable about the work we needed to do to a home before we moved in, a close friend Recomended we see Ben. We ended up buying our starter home and then our second home from him and referred basically everyone we know whose buying or selling a house to him. Bens knowledge of Ottawa, homes and home renovations and negotiations were absolutely invaluable to us. And he makes it an issue to still help us out in finding good people to help in our renos. Bens absolutely awesomene. No need to look any further if your buying or selling. Thanks again Ben!

Fantastic experience: Near the end of April my large country home was listed For Sale. After only three weeks of effort, drama and decision-making, not only was it sold but also I had bought a moderate sized bungalow in an admired part of Suburbia. Every day was an exhausting nail-biter of detail! By my side throughout this journey was Ben Wightman, the real estate agent I’d chosen a year ago to represent me when the adventure would begin. And THAT was my best decision of all! Ben was innovative, supportive and incredibly hard-working. He believed in my home, advertised it brilliantly, and knew how to navigate shoals that can accompany country selling. He was always there to address endless questions and provide intelligent & sensible answers. When I found another home, he helped me buy it, in a competitive and scary-busy market. My closings haven’t happened yet, and there is still Work to do. But I have faith in Ben and I KNOW he will continue to guide me and help confront what occasionally seems confusing. I cannot recommend this agent highly enough. He is making achievable what appeared impossibly challenging, and with good humour, loyalty and plenty of ‘smarts’. Bravo, Ben. Thank you for being my helmsman as I sail into a new life.

Fantastic experience: We just purchased our home with Ben and could not be happier with his service. Ben was very patient as we visited home after home looking for the right fit, his knowledge of home renovations and Ottawa’s neighbourhoods was invaluable. He was always available and even came to meet us on a holiday with 2 hours notice at a home that turned out to be the one! Once we decided to put in an offer, Ben arranged a home inspection and was able to have a roofing trade check out a potential issue and offer advice within 24 hours. We will 100% enlist Ben’s service in the future.

Fantastic experience: We spent a year and a half looking for the perfect house for our family and Ben was our agent from day one. We probably visited around 30 houses!
