Ben was a joy to work with while searching for a home in Chicago. He is knowledgeable about neighborhoods and trends and was attentive to my requirements. He is honest and held agents to the same standard by voicing legitimate concerns based on past experiences that sometimes proved instrumental in my decision-making process. Ben was flexible and always provided options based on his knowledge of my interests. I definitely recommend Ben and would employ his services again without hesitation.

I felt lucky to be working with Ben in the search for my first place. I truly know that Ben is one of those really great agents who genuinely wants his client to be satisfied and happy, and that started with Ben listening to me and offering his take on my wants and needs. It also means that Ben was in my corner, actually concerned for me during the entire process, from negotiating a very good price, following up to get documents processed, or just explaining the process to me so I knew what to expect at every turn. Ben also has a great sense of humor, that combined with a good attitude really goes a long way to getting through this whole process.

I am writing to express our pleasure with the work you did representing my wife and I in the pursuit of a new house and sale of our existing home. We were so impressed with the way you expertly guided us through the process (from preparing our existing home for sale to helping us identify potential neighborhoods and properties that fit our life style). We appreciated the fact that you asked the right questions to determine exactly what we wanted, and you had seen so many of the listings that you were able to quickly confirm which properties we would be interested in. You were spot on with the properties you thought we would be interested in, too.
What we liked most about you, Ben, was that in addition to being personable and knowing the market inside out, it was clear to us that you had our best interest in mind and could be trusted completely to help us make one of the biggest personal and financial decisions of our lives.
To reiterate, we are nothing but pleased with you and your expertise and will recommend you to our friends and family. Thanks for all of your help!

We lived in Chicago for almost 15 years in three different places, each chosen based on Ben's advice. He's always had his finger on the pulse of the Chicago real estate market, and had an uncanny ability to identify just the right property for us--in terms of price, location, layout and aesthetics--and on more than one occasion prevented us from making a potentially imprudent decision. And then there are his marketing skills--when we sold our last place, he knew exactly what we should emphasize in our property listing. He's a dream to work with--he's smart and charming and able to help one see the merits of a property despite what a potential purchaser might consider unfortunate decorating decisions by the previous owner. In short: a terrific agent, whether you are a buyer or a seller!

Having worked with Ben Bodelson in a short sale situation I was impressed with his knowledge of the real estate market, sales and negotiation, and his overall performance. Ben was thorough, always responsive, and excellent at selling my place and helping me move on. I knew he had my absolute best interests in mind, both personally and regarding the sale of my home, and carefully considered and researched each step we took. I look forward to working with Ben on my future real estate ventures.

As an investor from another country, I completely trust Ben's knowledge of Chicago, it's neighborhoods, pricing, values, and great buys. His response-time is immediate to my inquiries and questions, and his eye for excellent investment properties is smart, precise, and thoughtful. I run several businesses and don't have a lot of extra time, so it's great to be able to contact Ben, give him a tight time-frame, and know that once I arrive in Chicago, the few hours I have to spend on building my real estate portfolio will be time well spent. After I purchase property I know I can count on Ben as a valuable resource for anything else I may need in Chicago, and that he will go above and beyond his role as my realtor. In conclusion, Ben is a trusted advisor on my investment portfolio team, and in the process has also become a good friend.

Selecting Ben Bodelson to be agent for the task of renting or selling the condo turned out to be a very fruitful decision. With his knowledge of Chicago neighborhoods, specifically the south loop, my building and the current rental and sales market, he was able to advise on pricing, how to aggressively market the space and offer other advice during the entire process. Ben was on constant call to both speak with me as well as take care of miscellaneous tasks, from meeting with prospective tenants and buyers, to depositing resulting rental checks. No matter what day or time I contacted him, I got rapid, thoughtful and honest responses from him. He was available 24/7. The end result was the best solution and I would highly recommend him for any real estate transaction a client might need. Whether buying, selling or renting, Ben is to be a trusted and loyal agent that will go above and beyond in order to get you a fair deal on your place.Thank you!

My wife and I contacted Ben to help us find a new home. Ben quickly focused our search,
sent appropriate choices, and ended up finding
and negotiating a wonderful new space, at a truly amazing price. What makes Ben
different than so many other realtors is that he responds thoughtfully -
and promptly - answering his phone and / or emails quickly, whether it's 10am or 10pm.
That, and his extensive knowledge of neighborhoods, buildings, pricing, and
excellent negotiation abilities make him a great choice as a realtor.
Once the contract had been signed, he found us our inspector, attorney, mortgage
banker, and whatever else we needed to make the process go smoothly. We have already
sent him friends and family to work with, and will continue to rely on him for our
future real estate investments.
