Testimonials

After my father passed away, I needed to find an agent to help me with the sale of a 10-unit apartment building in West LA that he had owned for 60 years. It is clear that I made the right choice because we had multiple offers at or over list price within a few days of being on the market. We successfully closed escrow over list price less than a month after the property went on the market. Ben's knowledge and experience helped me feel confident that I have done the right thing by my father.

I am writing this letter of reference to any prospective client who may desire a professional reference. I recently had the pleasure of listing my 9-unit apartment building in Palms (West Los Angeles) which my family had owned for 40+ years. I would like to congratulate you for selling the apartment building in such a short time without any kind of issues. Your work ethic, responsiveness, and diligence made the process extremely easy and transparent. Ben, you were a pleasure to work with!

Ben not only worked hard to gain my trust but did an excellent job with the marketing of this Santa Monica gem. I can without hesitation refer the services of Benjamin Lewin to anyone that is thinking of selling their real estate. He was not only very professional and capable but someone I can honestly tell you has gained my and my wife, Sherry's, respect and friendship.
