Helped me buy and sell homes • 2026

There is only one Ben Smail! We have bought and sold homes multiple times and there is no one we trust more than Ben. His expertise and calm guidance is second to none. Most recently Ben helped us sell our home as we relocated to Arizona. His attention to detail and transparent approach kept us grounded during a stressful time of relocation. Ben is respected, dependable, and thorough - we could not recommend him more!

Helped me buy home • 2026

I cannot say enough great things about Ben. He really took care of us throughout the home buying process. I appreciated his transparency and his honesty about each house we visited. He also taught us (young people with little knowledge about how houses age) a lot about what to look for when buying a home. On top of all of that, he was always on top of things and was very timely in responding and getting back to us and other parties throughout the process. You won’t regret choosing him as your realtor!

Helped me buy home • 2026

Working with Ben throughout our home-buying journey was truly an amazing experience. From start to finish, he made what could have been a stressful and overwhelming process feel smooth and manageable—especially with us moving from out of state.Ben’s support went above and beyond, particularly during the construction of our home. Since we weren’t able to visit in person, the regular updates and photos he provided meant so much to us. It gave us peace of mind and helped us feel connected and confident every step of the way.We are incredibly grateful for Ben’s guidance, responsiveness, and dedication. It’s no exaggeration to say we couldn’t have done this without you. Thank you for everything you’ve done to help make this move and home purchase possible—we truly appreciate it!

Helped me buy and sell homes • 2026

We worked with Ben to buy and sell our first home. As first time homebuyers, we were looking for a realtor who would expalin the house buying process to us as we went through it. Ben is a teacher. His goal is to teach you about the process not just gudie you through it. He wants you to ask questiobs and will be a point of contact for you long after closing. He gave us great recommendations for different tradesmens. Ben made time for us to make a personal connection and celebrated milestones with us over the years. Ben is a realtor with great knowledge of area and industry. I highly recommend him to anyone moving to Omaha

Helped me buy and sell homes • 2026

We’ve worked with Ben on three transactions (buying two homes and selling one) and he has been outstanding every step of the way.He is kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable, not just about the market but about homes themselves. He takes the time to walk you through the entire process so you always feel informed and confident in your decisions.What really stands out is his attention to detail and process. When we sold our home, he organized a pre-inspection and brought in stagers to help us optimize each space, which made a huge difference. His advice and insights are always thoughtful and practical.Ben is incredibly responsive and easy to reach via text or email, and his support doesn’t stop after closing. He continues to check in and share helpful home maintenance tips and has built a great network of trusted professionals to assist with any future work that needs to be done.We highly recommend Ben to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He truly goes above and beyond.

Helped me buy home • 2025

Ben is excellent at what he does! He’s very knowledgeable in his profession. As a first time homebuyer, Ben helped me feel confident by providing his expertise and assurance. He took all my worries away and actually made me feel excited about becoming a homeowner. He guided me throughout the entire process-from putting an offer, laying out the contingency plan, setting up home inspection, home warranty, final walk-through, and closing escrow-it was a breeze working with him! The process was a lot easier than I had expected-especially when I was doing this out of state.When we visited homes, he was not afraid to point out the faulty details when he spots them. He has a sharp eye. He genuinely cares and wants to make sure that the house meets my expectations.Not only that he is great at what he does, he also knows a lot about the interior and exterior of homes and can refer you to contractors for any type of job.I feel confident about being a new homeowner knowing that Ben is a phone call away. I totally recommend Ben to anyone including my personal friends and family.

Helped me buy and sell homes • Evans Omaha, NE • 2025

Working with Ben has been an outstanding experience. He is by far the most knowledgeable realtor I’ve ever spoken with—his depth of expertise and attention to detail are unmatched. Calling him thorough would be an understatement and he makes sure every step of the process is handled with care. Ben has been extremely helpful from start to finish, and his guidance has made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. I can’t recommend him highly enough!
