With more than 1,500 homes sold and over 20 years of experience, Ben pairs deep market insight with a genuine desire to help people move forward with clarity and certainty.
 
A lifelong West Coaster, Ben’s understanding of Vancouver runs deeper than property data.

This informs a marketing approach rooted in strategic storytelling, elevated presentation, and meticulous preparation that highlights each home’s unique appeal.
 
Clients rely on Ben not just for results, but for his ability to simplify complex decisions and protect their best interests throughout the process.

Whether guiding a growing family to their next chapter or representing a more distinctive residence, Ben brings the same level of attention, advocacy, and professionalism to every home he represents. His reputation has been built on long-term relationships, repeat business, and trust earned over decades.
 
Service that blends professionalism with personal connection — giving you confidence, clarity, and an exceptional experience from start to finish.
Testimonials

Working with Ben was a wonderful experience. From day one, he took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and to explain the current subtleties of the market. As a first-time buyer, I had questions about everything, and he always took the time to answer each and every one of them. He was extremely thorough in their research prior to viewings and quick to point out aspects of a home that wo...

Testimonials

Ben and Carey took good care of me from start to finish in the process of selling my Yaletown condo. They made great suggestions for me to prepare it for showing, brought in a skilled photographer, and even added some nice touches to show it at its best. I was completely on board with the sales strategy we agreed on, as I needed a quick sale due to a rapidly approaching close on my soon-to-be new home. G...

Testimonials

Ben helped us sell our condo and purchase our new townhouse, which was still under construction; I have heard many horror stories about similar situations. Ben was on top of all the details and made sure we didn’t have any surprises. His advice was right on, and he always did what he said he would do, making sure that we had a good experience through what could have been a very stressful situation. I wou...

Testimonials

Ben Chimes and his team deliver an outstanding level of service. They managed the sale of our apartment with high-level professionalism and expertise. They advised us wisely, and we felt completely supported and understood during the entire process. I highly recommend them to anyone and would definitely work with them again in the future.

Testimonials

I had the pleasure of partnering with Ben to search for a house. The assistance he provided in helping me find the best available home to suit my requirements exceeded my expectations of what a real estate agent would provide. Though I faced difficult negotiations with the property owner that threatened to scuttle its purchase on several occasions, it was only through the serious time and effort that Ben...

— Neil J.

Testimonials

Ben and teammate Carey were awesome. I am a repeat customer for a reason. My last property just went over list price with multiple offers, with some awesome work by Ben and Carey. I would highly recommend!

— Darren S.

Testimonials

It was a real pleasure having Ben as my real estate agent. Right from the get-go, he approached things with eagerness and professionalism. By working together to establish rigorous criteria at the start, we were able to refine my search so as not to waste time viewing countless unsuitable properties. This strategy paid off, as I quickly found a place that met all my criteria and with little effort (at le...

— Christina T.

Testimonials

Simply put, Ben is the best! We asked for the impossible – a detached house in Lynn Valley on a budget – and he knocked it out of the park! Ben is a very smart, talented and dedicated professional who clearly loves what he does and puts in 110% for his clients: he did a great job scheduling appointments and always came prepared with plenty of market knowledge; he had great reno ideas for every fixer-uppe...

— Kevin W.

Testimonials

Not often am I as compelled to write a testimonial as this. The attention, patience, and focus received from Ben throughout my long and inconsistent house search have been unmatched. Throughout this unfamiliar process, I was helped and educated to buy the house that was a better match to my requirements than I myself appreciated at the time. I would recommend Ben’s services without reservation to anyone ...

— Thomas B.

Testimonials

Ben is thoughtful, communicative, and knowledgeable. My wife and I enjoyed working with him in finding our first home in Vancouver. Highly recommend working with him and his team at Stilhavn!

— Andrew F.

Testimonials

Selling a home can be more than a simple financial transaction. Especially if it involves separating from a house that has been for many years the family home. We have been lucky in selecting Ben and his team to help us go through the sale of our home. All along, Ben was easily reachable, offered good advice and was very professional in every way. The sale of our house was quick and smooth which is what ...

— Michele & Daryle

Testimonials

Ben has now helped my family with the sale of two properties, while also helping us purchase a property. My wife and I are both professionals and deal extensively with other professions in our respective careers, and we cannot recommend Ben highly enough. Ben is an extraordinary professional who puts in the time and research to understand the market, his clients, and potential buyers and sellers. I value...
