Reviews | Ben Myers

Ben was invaluable to our home buying journey. We came to him with a need to purchase our first home within 3 months, with a 2 month old baby in tow, high standards, and a search area that went across the Chicagoland area… to say the least, it was a stressful time, and he couldn’t have been a more perfect partner. He started off by helping us strategically select areas to focus our search. He then connected us with our mortgage and legal team which turned out to be just as helpful and professional as him. He encouraged us to look at a variety of options when he could see us rushing to settle. He scheduled tours, often getting us in before other buyers. He lent us his experienced eye for detail as we toured homes. And finally he was a text away, offering savvy negotiation tactics, guiding us through the process, and making sure we knew what to expect. I could go on for many more paragraphs. I’m so thankful to have worked with Ben and you would be lucky to also!

Ben Myers is a truly stellar realtor. My spouse and I were looking for a new apartment in Chicago, and Ben's assistance was really transformative in the process. He smoothly and efficiently handled all the coordination needed to schedule viewings, acquire and submit rental applications, and streamline the process of signing the lease. He accompanied us to all of our viewings and offered keen insights about various areas of Chicago, elements of home construction, and anything else we needed to make informed choices throughout our search. He was always attentive and reliable, and the process would not have gone nearly so smoothly and successfully without his assistance. We have been very happy in the apartment that he helped us find. We absolutely recommend him to anyone in need of his expertise.

I'd never worked with an agent for my renting needs, but Ben set the bar incredibly high. In the past, I'd comb through incoherent craigslist posts and send out empty calls to friends. For my most recent apartment search, Ben listened to my needs and connected me with daily listings. When it came time to view the ones I liked, Ben was extremely prepared with guides and setting up the showings on my behalf. When I found one I loved, I was able to see the listing less than 24 hours after it was posted, applied on the spot, and was approved the next day. I'd highly recommend working with Ben for your rental needs, and will totally consider him for when I'm ready to buy my dream home.

We were relocating to the Chicago area from Virginia, which meant that we were remote clients, and Ben was just incredible to work with. His deep roots in the Chicago area meant he was very familiar not only with Chicago neighborhoods but also the suburbs. We were remote clients who thought we knew what we wanted - an old house near the beach in Evanston - but found ourselves unable to find a property that met our needs as a family with elementary and middle school kids. Ben was great at helping us focus on our competing priorities, encouraging us to look in other towns, and make the trade offs that are a necessary part of any home purchase. He was also adept at working with our logistical challenges - clearing his schedule on short notice to line up and take us to showings marathons whenever we were able to come to town. Picking us up and dropping us off at the airport so we could do same day turns. Combing through hundreds of listings to point out special properties. Even after we closed, Ben continued to assist - helping us identify painters, carpenters, and cleaning contractors to get the house ready for move in. Not only do we recommend Ben, when it's time to buy a summer home, we'll be looking to work with him again!

I can't speak highly enough about my experience selling my home with Ben Myers. He was incredibly quick to respond to my many questions and requests, and remarkably professional in providing suggestions and counsel. Ben was called on to show the home on a moment's notice several times, and he never disappointed. His sage advice on everything from staging to pricing to negotiating the deal was instrumental in getting me to a closing on the best terms possible. 10/10 would recommend!
