Ben was the best realtor! It took us longer than a year to find our perfect house and he was so patient with us. He never took us somewhere that we wouldn't feel safe At. He really did everything he could to help us. I would recommend for anyone to use him for your realtor!

Ben was exactly the realtor I was looking for. I'm all about statics and numbers and he comes to the table with everything. (With the understanding that are just numbers too.) He has been very patient and helpful with every question and concern that I had. I wanted to sell fast and he laid it on the line exactly what I had to do. The list is long for everything that he does but some of the key points is that he keeps you completely up to date in a timely fashion. He participates in every aspect of the buy and sell, he was there for inspection, appraisals and any questions in between.. He also comes with a toolkit of resources if you need a quick handyman, painter, etc... I feel he is the first realtor that earned every cent of commission and rightly deserves it and probably more :). My hat's off to him and his team and hope that everyone get's the pleasure to work with him. Less

I would refer Ben to anyone in a heartbeat. Ben's character is rare in the real estate business, he will actually tell you his honest opinion of a property and if he thinks it's worth your hard earned money; he's not just trying to make a sale. He can spot potential problems with a home that the average homebuyer would be unaware of. Ben is patient and will work with you to find the best home for you and your family.

We can not begin to say enough great things about our recent experience working with Ben. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient with our questions, exceptionally responsive to our concerns, and went well above and beyond to complete our transaction. We cannot thank him enough! We have always and will continue to recommend Ben to anyone in need of a professional realtor.

Ben was extremely knowledgeable regarding the local market and was able to get our home sold in record time. We then unexpectedly had to quickly find our dream home. Using our likes and dislikes, Ben directed us toward properties we had overlooked and we are glad he led us to the home we are in now. Both closings went through flawlessly 40 days later and we could not be happier.

I was not in the market to purchase a house but happen to come across an ad for a house for sale in Marengo that I liked. Ben and Debra from the Century 21 office were so helpful and willing to make several trips to the house for viewing and help with providing quality references for lawyers, mortgage and inspection services. Even after the closing, they went our of their way to help with zoning questions on the property and help by talking with local city officials. Very pleasant to deal with and I would highly recommend them. Less

Ben broughton helped me purchase my first house I was inexperienced in the whole process and stressed at times. Ben did an excellent job informing and teaching me about how to buy a house I would have been completely lost with out him he went above and beyond all my expectations. I can honestly say he did find me my dream house and I'm glad I listened to him when he informed me to wait or the fact if he couldn't see me in a particular house. We looked at quite a few houses together and he hit a home run on the house I purchased. Ben was very easy to deal with I felt I could trust him to find the house that fits me best and there never was any pressure. My experience with Ben was great probably something I will not forget I would recommend his services to anyone I know. -adam Lawrence Less

My experience with Ben Broughton was very short because he sold my house in four days despite a very unfavorable market. In that small time frame, from first discusions through closing, the process was handeled by Ben very well. I appreciated Ben's insightfulness in promptly taking care of my specific concerns in a very timely matter. I would not hesitate to recommend Ben to any family or friends for their real estate needs.
