Ben's love of buildings began at six years old, helping his father build a family cottage on a lake in northern Pennsylvania. With a coffee can of nails and hammer in hand, he bent more nails than he sunk that summer and loved every minute. Though he didn't know it then that moment spark a life in real estate.
Planning to go to graduate school to become a psychologist, Ben got a call after graduation from a small development company in San Francisco that was flipping Victorian apartment buildings. That call changed everything! Lured by historic architecture and adventures on the other side of the country, Ben drove west and never looked back.
That move led to getting his real estate license in California at twenty-five, which led to getting licensed in three other states, and a career evolving from single-family to multifamily, from running a residential team to raising several hundred million dollars to reposition apartment complexes across the western half of the country.
When Ben started growing his business, agents had just started using cell phones. As the industry evolved, the increasing speed of technology dramatically increased the difficulty for agents to manage their business on their own. Seeing good friends and great agents struggle, ultimately led Ben and his wife, Kelly, to experiment with different business structures in search of a way to help agents succeed at a high level. AgentHUB 360 was borne out of that work.
Rather than being the psychologist he once thought of becoming, Ben fulfills his love of caring for people by being their head of Business Development. Cultivating relationships is the core of any business and definitely the core of what drives him. At AgentHUB 360, he spends his days aligning the right people and organizations with the company and ensuring everyone thrives and he loves every minute.
