Hi! I'm Ben 


Welcome to Ideal Real Estate, your trusted partner in the Portland, Oregon real estate market. With 25 years of experience in helping buyers and sellers achieve their real estate goals, I'm thrilled to bring my expertise to my own venture. As the founder of Ideal Real Estate, I'm committed to providing personalized, professional service to every client, whether you're looking to buy your dream home or sell your property for the best possible price.


While I assist all clients with their real estate needs, I take particular pride in my role as a Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES). This certification allows me to offer specialized support to older adults and their families during significant life transitions. However, my true passion lies in expert seller representation. With a quarter-century of experience, I have honed my skills in pricing strategy, marketing, and negotiation to ensure that sellers get the maximum value for their properties. My deep understanding of local market trends, coupled with innovative marketing techniques, allows me to showcase your home to the right buyers and secure the best deals possible.

 Call me today. I look forward to working with you!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY


"Buying or selling a home can be quite stressful. Having an agent you can trust and rely on is crucial. Having Ben as your agent gives you that trust, reliability, and most of all, peace of mind as you navigate through the selling (in our case) process. From our initial interview with Ben, all the way through the possible pitfalls, to the actual selling and closing of our Tualatin house, Ben was there, in close contact, to make sure it all went smoothly. If we ever needed to have an agent for any future real estate transaction, there is no question we would have Ben work with us again.”

John & Diane L.

“Ten years ago, we were moving to the area, intent on purchasing a home, and a mutual friend connected us with Ben. He accommodated our limited time and drove us to visit numerous properties that fit our general criteria. After signing a contract to purchase, we had to return to our out-of-state residence. Ben’s professional, and local, attention to the numerous details on our behalf during the escrow phase built a sense of confidence in him that did not disappoint.

Recently, our life plans directed us away from the area. This time, Ben worked with us to help sell our property. We were glad to consider him as “a friend in the real estate business.” But a very capable friend, indeed. He fully understood the market and the platforms for advertising our property, worked very well with buyers’ agents, and suggested a competent contractor needed to mitigate a septic issue. We have no hesitation in recommending Ben as your agent.

Timothy & Nacy D.

 Ben, Thanks for helping me sell both properties. It was a pleasure working with you and I give you my highest recommendation as a top-notch real estate agent that gets the job done right!!


Catherine C. USAF Veteran


Ben is an excellent realtor, and an excellent person. He was very helpful, diligent, friendly, and professional. He listened to us and helped us find our forever home in the Portland area.

He also is active in the community, helping seniors, veterans, and others.

We are very happy to recommend him to anyone needing a realtor.
