As a recent immigrant and a self-employed professional, I had neither the knowledge about Australian property transactions, nor any time to house hunt, negotiate and manage the buying process. Ben took the time to travel to my regional town, and to meet me personally.

While I was working at what I do best, Ben was certainly working at what he does best - getting what I wanted at a good price, and so saved me both money and time.

If you are a self-employed, busy professional person, leave the job to Ben - it is going to save you thousands of dollars in otherwise lost opportunity in your career, not to mention the time and hassle factor of juggling work, family and house buying all at the same time.
