Helped me buy home • 2026

This is the second home Ben has helped me buy, and I truly can’t recommend him enough. Ben is personable, knowledgeable, honest, incredibly responsive, and detail-oriented. He consistently goes above and beyond to make what can be a stressful process feel easy and enjoyable.From start to finish, he was always available to answer questions, provide honest guidance, and make sure every detail was taken care of. Even after closing, he’s continued to be an amazing resource by connecting us with trusted contractors and other professionals.I’ve recommended Ben to so many friends and family members, and every single one has had an equally wonderful experience. If you’re looking for a realtor who genuinely has your best interests at heart and will be there every step of the way, Ben is the one to call. You won’t regret it!

Ben, we cannot thank you enough for your assistance in finding the "perfect for us" home! When we decided to look for a new home in Omaha, there was no question that we would work with you again. When we moved from Lincoln to Omaha in 2019, you helped us find our home. We were nervous about the process but we followed your advice and the purchase was seamless! We're so grateful for your expertise and your personal service!

Helped me buy home • 2026

Not having a realtor in Omaha, I did some online research and was able to find a number of independent recommendations for Ben, so I took a chance and reached out to him. I'm really glad I did! Our situation was somewhat complicated as we were out of state and not sure of our home purchasing time frame. Ben was flexible and gave a lot of great advice despite the approach we were taking. When we finally made the decision to buy and identified what area of Omaha we wanted to live in, Ben set us up with an account and we started to receive good recommendations that matched out criteria right away. Whenever I emailed him about a house we liked, he was quick to offer excellent feedback to help us narrow our search. When we found the house we eventually purchased, Ben did all of the leg work that we couldn't do since we were not in town, to include a very detailed walk through with photos. Once we made the offer, things went very smoothly and Ben was quick to iron over any of the normal hiccups that occur during a closing. I would also say that I appreciate Ben's style in that he is super responsive, but not pushy. I prefer to ease into big decisions and I never felt like Ben was trying to push me into anything. He was available and as responsive as I needed. All in all, great experience and we will recommend him to friends as well as use him in the future in the event we purchase another home. I highly recommend Ben!!!

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!

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

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.
