“Dallas is an expansive real estate market, but Ben Lauer eagerly accommodated us as we criss-crossed the city in search of a place to live. No matter what part of town we were in, he was informed about all the nuances of the the neighborhood. We finally settled on a very small area where we wanted to own. Inventory was super tight and we were very picky. You had to tour homes and make an offer immediately after new listings hit the market. Ben understood that and was always responsive. We looked at a lot of places...and it took quite a while. One time we made an offer lower than he advised and we got beaten by another buyer. We were frustrated...and probably a little difficult at times. In fact, at one point I told Ben we would understand if he didn't want to continue working with us. He just laughed and said he understood why we were being selective and that he'd be in it until the end. We considered different types of homes and different types of loans, and Ben had a surprising breadth of understanding about the different options. Once we finally selected the place we wanted to call home, Ben made the process smooth and easy, advising us the whole way, taking care of the innumerable details, and connecting us with the various professionals we needed. Even after the deal was done, he didn't forget us. We called with a question and he was immediately on it. As a newcomer to the city, I also liked that he had already vetted a list of dependable handymen for just about any kind of work you want done around the house. I have worked with several realtors over the years...and Ben is the best one I have encountered yet. I highly recommend him..”
