“Ben was the perfect realtor for us and our house. We had heard that Ben was an expert when it came to historic homes in LA, and his reputation did not disappoint. Ben knew exactly what made our historic home special and what would matter most to potential buyers. He also understood what made the market in our neighborhood unique and how that would affect the sale process. And Ben was a genius in marketing the house to reach buyers way beyond just redfin and zillow. Ben's appreciation for what made our house unique and his knowledge of the market got us multiple offers above asking price within days! And Ben did the hard work needed to help us close on the sale quickly after. We'll never use another realtor in LA again.”

“Ben listed our house Just before the COVID crisis. Our listing was amazing, as he guided the process with what buyers are looking for at the forefront. When the market stalled he calmed us down and helped us feel confident with the process at a time of National crisis. We took it off the market and re-listed it a short time later and got more than we were hoping for. He assured us that our property was unique and he always treated it that way. Hands down Ben will be our realtor for life.”

The engleman family :: ladera heights
After the passing of our parents, we three siblings chose to prepare our family home of 57 years to be sold. During our initial meeting with Ben, it quickly became evident that Ben was not the everyday broker looking for his next listing. His knowledge of and passion for preserving Historic and Architectural homes in general, and our house in particular was unmistakable. He was genuinely interested in learning the history of our home and our family. He had already done research on the builder as well as the architect. He had a vision of how to present the house to its fullest advantage, seeing value in qualities of the house that other realtors missed. Throughout the difficult emotional process of our emptying the house, Ben remained calm, encouraging, and very supportive. Ben offered to and did take full charge of the updating process: securing bids, scheduling the work, overseeing the work, and updating us on the progress and timeline. This made all the difference to us. His choices in how to renovate, stage and market the house were superb. Of the many high quality bids we received, most were deeply impressed by the history, quality and historical nature of the house that Ben conveyed so well. We were thrilled with the outcome. Ben gave us tons of personal attention, and the bottom line was beyond our hopes. We most highly recommend him.
Marie & Rob McInnes :: Beverly Hills
We chose Ben because we wanted a unique mid-century home and we sure got one! We are housing industry professionals from the east coast and are not well versed in the west coast real estate process. Ben was invaluable in helping us navigate offers on various properties and, in the end sealing the deal on the property we never dreamed existed!
Meg & Josh Long :: Northridge & Van Nuys
I can't say how grateful we are to Ben and his team for helping us with the sale of our first home and purchase of our second. I originally found Ben on Instagram and loved his sense of humor, realness, great taste and passion for preservation. But after working with him, what I appreciated most was his integrity and sincerity. He made us feel like we were his only client, and was always down for a phone call to give updates or reassurance as we waded into the absolute insanity of the market this past year. Not only did he help us get a new house better than what we thought we'd get, he guided us in preparing and staging our first home for sale, landing an offer quite a bit higher than we were expecting. And then when some craziness went down on the buyer's end during escrow, he somehow anticipated it, prepared a plan B, and was able to save the deal against all odds. I have no doubt that if we'd gone with a less experienced agent we would've had a very different outcome. And his team is incredible as well: Nathaniel is a class act and incredibly kind, and James -- phew -- we'd all be better off with a James in our life, absolutely stellar communication and coordination. Can't recommend them highly enough -- you'd be crazy to work with anyone else.

I wanted Ben to represent the sale of my 1930s Spanish Style home in View Park for a few years, but I took much longer than expected to complete the restoration. When it was almost done, I texted him, “I am ready to sell it now, but I need to finish one last project”. He was so excited to hear from me as he loved this house maybe more than I did! He immediately started his work to get my house sold - booking photographers, stagers, video crews, layout designers, etc. I was almost done and so nervous, so he would come by to check on us, the progress, answering so many questions, providing market updates and design advice. Most importantly offering much kindness and support of our hard work. His excitement was so motivating to us! We always enjoyed having him to the home. Once the house was finally ready, I stepped away and Ben got busy! His marketing is genius and his database is extensive and far-reaching. It was his social media presence that earned us a record breaking sale. Needless to say, I want Ben on my team

Ben and his team were rockstar partners in the sale of our home! We tasked Ben with taking total charge of the sale of our home, including renovations, new landscaping, and overseeing all of the vendors and contractors while we moved out of state with two babies to keep us busy. He brought with him a wealth of knowledge, and remained so incredibly chill throughout the whole process. His renovation recommendations were spot on and got us top dollar for the house. Ben was available via text whenever we had a question about anything at all, and we appreciated his communication style. Thank you! We couldn’t recommend Ben highly enough!

"Ben is a joy to work with. He’s unbelievably responsive, comfortingly candid, and so pleasantly generous with his insight and expertise.
Throughout my six-month search for a historic home, I never felt any hint of pressure or persuasion – it was as though he genuinely enjoyed the search and was just as excited to be touring these houses as I was. In fact, I’m pretty sure he’d be down to look at houses with me even if I wasn’t buying.
Today, weeks after closing, he continues to be an accessible and invaluable resource as I stumble around maintenance, contractor, and general “how home-ownership works in LA” questions.
10/10, would buy with Ben again."

I’d never sold a house before. And was also moving out of state before it even went on the market. So basically doubling down on the stress. But Ben made the whole process seamless, from taking care of finding all of the contractors necessary to get the house ready to be listed, to dealing with the open house and helping me navigate the offer process (not to mention dealing with my neurotic weekly phone calls haha). From start to finish the whole process was amazing. I really cannot recommend Ben enough to anyone considering selling their house.

The best realtor…. Period. I have had a few but no one who has worked as hard, was so dedicated and so wonderful. We can’t say enough about about Erin and her work ethic. Erin and Ben walked us through the roughest time in our lives and did it with grace and understanding. If you are looking for people in your corner while you are going through selling a historic home, you won’t find better. We were consistently floored by their knowledge and dedication to preserving the integrity of historic homes. There are no words to express how thankful we are. Erin, you are extraordinary!!

Ben helped me through the process of buying my home from start to finish, and then some. He was an incredible ally in the process - from decisions around financing to finding the right team to do inspections, to the many little follow ups that naturally happen once the house is bought. He has been available, extremely reliable, and has done it all with a consistently good sense of humor and positive attitude. The market in Los Angeles is competitive, and he was very good at knowing what we needed to do to make this purchase happen. He has built a great community around him of inspectors and repair people from plumbers to electricians and artisans for LA's beautiful old homes. He is not just a helping hand through the purchasing process, but has been a real asset since closing through repairs and now into a remodel. I would 10/10 recommend Ben to anyone trying to buy a home. He's a blast to work with and somehow made buying a home genuinely delightful.

“Ben recently sold my Spanish Duplex which was an investment property. Believe it or not, I never actually met him as I live in San Francisco the property is in LA. I had received a flyer from Ben probably a year and a half ago or so with some properties he recently sold and one of them was almost identical to the property I owned. One of the units in my building became vacant and I decided it was probably a good time to sell. I reached out to Ben and from start to finish he was super responsive and very on point. He did an excellent job was very involved in every step and had my back 100% from start to finish. Like I said, I’ve never actually met the guy in person, but if and when I do he’s going to get a great big hug. I would strongly recommend him in the future to anybody who is considering buying or selling a property.”

I absolutely loved working with Ben and Erin. The Los Angeles real estate market can be intimidating, and we loved having realtors who were calm, capable, and experienced, and who also shared our love for historical architecture. Ben and Erin quickly grasped our vision for a 'dream home' and were able to have frank, and knowledgeable, conversations about what we might expect from the process. We could not be happier with the home that we found, and benefited greatly from Ben and Erin's long-standing relationships with other realtors in the niche market of buying/selling historical homes. Thank you, Ben and Erin, for making the home buying process smooth and successful! We're incredibly grateful

I am so happy Erin was my agent. She is incredibly knowledgeable which was very important to me as a first time home buyer. She guided me through the whole process, was patient with my with my millions of questions, and was remarkably kind even when I was overwhelmed and stressing out. Her keen eye and knowledge of the market is the reason I am in my home today. I never would have seen it (out of my price range), or thought I had a chance at buying it if I had. But with her help, I was able to secure a home under asking at a time when most homes were selling for well over list price. Thank you Erin!

Ben Kahle is outstanding. From our initial conversation, Ben continued to demonstrate the qualities that gave us confidence to work with him. He is passionate, knowledgeable, and, perhaps more importantly, he is a great listener and understands what it means to collaborate. Ben holds great space and can handle all types of personalities; he's unflappable, funny, and professional. Throughout our experience, we saw a bunch of other real estate agents on the other side, and most were the stereotypical type A, fast talking, aggro agent that we did not vibe with (no offense to them!) - especially for a long term relationship and process. Compared with these very probably capable agents, Ben is a breath of fresh air. He's grounded, not in a rush. He took time throughout to walk us through scenarios. And he's a great teacher in that regard: passionate, patient, and present. Ben is genuine. He truly loves real estate. He loves the people; he loves the homes. He loves the process even if you don't. He helps you love the process. We ended up loving the process and will certainly work with Ben again in the future.

“It cannot be emphasized enough that 2020 has been difficult for so many reasons, and the sale of Culver City condo and the purchase of our awesome craftsman house In Jefferson Park has been a rare high point in a challenging year. When I first spoke to the many references Ben provided, the commonality that they described was how patient he is. We are grateful to have had Ben walk (even slow walk) us through the whole process, especially since we felt unprepared the whole time. Ben met our trepidation of entering the uncertain market not only with professionalism but with careful optimism and humor. I appreciated Ben’s sensitivity when my father passed away unexpectedly during the already nerve-wracking process of escrow during the sale, and of course, when we were looking at homes and later closing on our purchase, we were thankful to have a thoughtful guide and a willing resource in Ben. We are excited and eager to do right by our 'new' old house, and we will definitely stay in touch with Ben as we continue to care for this beautiful home.”
“Thank you for your inspiration, and dare we say, "let's do this again sometime?" Next global pandemic, for sure.”

Ben and his team were invaluable as we searched for our first home. We knew we wanted to go historic and restore over the years, and we could not have found a better match in him. His honesty, expertise, and humor immediately put us at ease- even in the insanity of the LA market. We will be recommending him for years to come!
Zach & Kat craley :: Leimert Park
"Ben is hands down the best of the best. We began the search for our forever home (before meeting Ben) in the summer of 2018 when we were pregnant with twins. We went to countless open houses, put in multiple offers where we were often 1 of 20. Surprise surprise, without him, we were unsuccessful.
During that search, we had stumbled upon his Instagram (yeah, it’s 2020, people) and became obsessed with how obsessed he is with real estate, architecture and Los Angeles itself. We decided to reach out to him during the middle of a pandemic, with the twins in tow, to see if he could help us find a home where we could raise our kids. We described to him what we were hoping for and where. Ben helped us zero in on what was worth seeing and offered informed guidance on how to write a competitive offer during a crazy time. We went to maybe 3 or 4 open houses before landing on THE ONE.
We were so grateful he walked us through the ever-grueling escrow process, with often daily phone calls to help us wrap our heads around it all. He readily offered up advice based on his own experience and recommended great inspectors and contractors he’s used for his own properties. Above all, Ben always felt like a passionate homeowner and confidant, never an agent selling or pressuring us to write unnecessary offers. Honestly, 3 months after moving in, we couldn’t be happier."

“Ben is hands down the best agent we’ve worked with. His superb professionalism, extensive knowledge and keen instincts guided us through what could’ve been a difficult sale. We recently sold our perfectly imperfect 1925 Spanish revival after owning it for a short time. Ben applied his passion and expertise on historical and architectural properties to recommend updates for our home while also being budget conscious. His instincts for pricing and marketing the home were flawless; we received multiple offers above asking just a week after listing! And when negotiations got tough, Ben’s experience made sure the sale stayed on track. We would work with Ben again, and again! He completely exceeded our expectations.”

Rae:
“Ben is an innovative, thoughtful, and resourceful real estate agent that I was thrilled to partner with. We collaborated with him in early 2020 to sell our duplex right before the Corona Virus struck along with a stock market crash. He helped us successfully negotiate over 30 offers, driving our final offer to nearly 30% above our asking price with a solid backup buyer. In the midst of the market crash and virus Ben kept the buyer, their agent, and my partner and me calm. He steered the final sale to completion with grace and confidence when it felt like the whole world was falling apart. I doubt many sales will be as dramatic as ours, but I am confident that if you work with Ben and his team, you are in expert hands.”
Morgan:
“I don’t often write reviews; but I feel compelled to offer one for Ben because working with him was so over and above. He helped us achieve a record sale price for our duplex when…the coronavirus crisis hit, scaring everyone including our buyer. Ben literally helped snatch victory from the jaws of death, with creative ideas to solve all the concerns and problems. When there was so much on the line, I am hugely grateful to have worked with the best.”
Alexis Arenella :: View Park
“What can I say, other than: Ben is amazing. Ben sold my Art Deco Spanish and shared my insane attention to detail, authenticity, preservation and period homes. The sale of my home was very emotional as I put my heart and soul into the property by renovating and restoring it over a 16 year period. He was very considerate and not pushy, which made the process very easy and enjoyable. This was not my first rodeo and I had dealt with some great realtors in the past, and nobody… and I mean nobody could’ve gotten me the price that he got me. Ben also had the resources to get my home prepared for sale. He is a one stop shop for a seller. His wealth of knowledge of historical real estate is unparalleled. I’ll surely call upon Ben again to represent me in the buying or selling process.”

6 star review!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
”Ben already came highly recommend and then exceeded our expectations. We threw Ben a curve ball in that we unexpectedly had an offer accepted on a home in Portland a couple of days after signing with Ben, and needed to get our unit on the market immediately — and sell it within 2 weeks — in order to get our dream home! To our astonishment, he never skipped a beat and locked in a buyer for our unit in 4 days!!!!! That’s AMAZING!!! He was always available and worked with our other agent, (out of State), on both properties.
His attention to detail on marketing with photos for our place was next level. It looked like the unit had been showcased in Architectural Digest. He also managed to get the highest price per square foot sale ever in our building, again under an insane time frame (2 weeks). If we’d had missed the deadline we would of lost our dream house and thankfully that was not the case. Thank you Ben!!!!
When selling, you need the best team, and bottom line, that team IS Ben Kahle.”

Ben, Rachel and their crew are THE dream team. Ben and Rachel did an amazing job helping me, a first-time homebuyer, manage my expectations during this unpredictable journey. They’re honest, attentive, 100% responsive, and punctual (yes, even in LA). Ben’s patience and ability to talk you through different scenarios made me feel prepared no matter the outcome. He has extensive knowledge from years of experience and when my condo was listed under the Mills Act, he was able to break down the financial and cultural pros and cons of living in a historic complex. Coming out of this journey, I am more than thankful for Ben and Rachel’s optimistic outlook and dedication to my home buying experience. It’s nerve-wracking to put so much trust into individuals who may hold the key to your future, but I couldn’t imagine teaming up with anybody else. By the end, we were bonding over our mutual appreciation for LA’s diverse architectural scene and plotting our future partnerships.

After 6 months of frustration & disappointment we were starting to wonder if a home in LA would ever be a reality. Then my wife found Ben online and after one phone conversation we felt our fortunes were bound to change for the better. Ben’s calm & easy going personality made the whole process less stressful, but when it was time to put in an offer he was all over it to make sure we had the best chance to win. Within 4 months of working with Ben, we found our dream home, a beautiful Spanish Colonial, and we couldn’t be more grateful for his help. We not only consider him our realtor, but our friend too. Thank you, Ben!!!

Sam & Valerie Smith :: Reynier village
Buying our home was a crazy journey stretching all the way back to November 2019 when Sam first reached out to Ben through Instagram. Since architecture was important to us in our search, Ben felt like the obvious choice. What we didn’t know was that we would also be gaining Erin along the way. The combined knowledge, genuine interest and work ethic between these two makes me wonder how we could have possibly gotten here without them. It was so nice to work with realtors who had a deep appreciation for beautiful, historic architecture and also dealt with our annoying list of demands. The home we ended up in house has everything we were looking for.
Devin Earthman & Victoria Hinshaw :: LA
Imagine being new to town with a modest budget looking for an unrenovated but move-in ready house on the Westside. Now imagine having an agent who somehow makes that an enjoyable process, even at the height of COVID. That was our experience with Ben. Our journey wasn't quick or without some bumps, and we saw our share of crazy bidding wars, but that's the thing: Ben never pretended it would be easy, nor ever suggested that we just jump at the first thing we saw to get it over with. "The right house will come along" was his mantra. And sure enough it did, and felt almost too easy once it did! The entire process felt as comfortable and supportive as just bouncing ideas off of and getting advice from a knowledgeable friend. Ben was always there to listen, to answer all our first-timer questions, to be patient while we swung from neighborhood to neighborhood and panicked about whether we should even be buying at all. And through it all we never felt like anything other than his only client. I don't say that lightly; we really did. We trusted him completely because of his genuine passion for historic homes, and because he approached everything with as much care and concern as you would imagine he would for himself. Beyond the sale of the house, he has been incredibly generous offering advice on restoration and basic homeownership questions. We can't imagine having gone through this process with anyone else, and can't wait to work with Ben again in the future.

Being new to LA we had no idea where we wanted to live. What we DID know, however, is we wanted to live somewhere special and uniquely California. Ben trekked with us to EVERY neighborhood for over 6 months until we found both the house and location that felt like home. And when we finally did find it - he stuck with us through a grueling negotiation process and kept us motivated throughout. We felt confident buying a major fixer that most would have walked away from because of Ben’s expertise in what we are investing in.
We undoubtedly had one of the best realtor experiences one could ask for and also feel like we now have a new friend.

My partner and I prepared ourselves for a long, discouraging search. Friends and family shared endless horror stories from their own home-buying experiences. In contacting Ben and Rachel we hoped to find agents with an appreciation of the specific architectural style and original period details that appealed to us. They not only found fantastic leads on character-filled retro homes that stood out from the myriad flips on the market, they served as invaluable advisors, cheerleaders, advocates and negotiators. Ben and Rachel had the knowledge and experience to make our offers competitive in an all-cash offering investor-packed market without sacrificing safeguards like inspections. They both moved quickly and assertively on our behalf. The entire home search and escrow process was entirely uneventful, speedy and transparent, thanks to Ben and Rachel. We’ve emerged from the process with no regrets or cautionary tales to pass onto future first-time home buyers—only ringing endorsements for Ben and Rachel.

His professionalism and knowledge of the Los Angeles real estate market was remarkable. I am most appreciative of his forthright and honest communication style, which was extra important as I was doing this transaction from 400 miles away. I felt I could trust his actions, recommendations and ultimate execution of the sale. He and his team went the extra mile to make sure the condo was ready and marketed well. One extra bonus for me was that Ben was very knowledgeable about the 1031 Exchange process, a requirement of this sale, which was vital in ensuring I was making informed decisions for my next investment property. I highly recommend Ben and hope to work with him again in the future!

Once I identified the property I wanted, a parcel in Leimert Park with a Tudor home (built in 1930) and more room to develop, Ben fought hard and thoughtfully for me, and got the deal I wanted. I cannot recommend working with Ben enough and look forward to working with him on my next project!

"One of the things about Ben that was a great comfort to us, is that he knows about every neighborhood. Ben took amazing care of us and we can't imagine what more we would ask for in an agent."

"Ben was super helpful! We had no experience at all with the house buying process, and he helped us at every step. We particularly appreciated his honest feedback and insight about neighborhoods and properties, as it can be overwhelming to project yourself in an area you are not familiar with.
We were lucky enough to find a house very quickly, and it is obvious that Ben was instrumental in this success!”
