Introducing

Benjamin Neal

Licensee Salesperson
Ray White Ellerslie

I’ve been around for over a decade selling Real Estate in New Zealand – Wow doesn’t time fly when you are having fun!  I moved to this wonderful country during the GFC in search for a better quality of lifestyle and I have never regretted my decision.

I found my enthusiasm for Real Estate in the early 2000’s working for a busy office in Milton Keynes which was a growth city north of London.  During this time, I was proud to be crowned the No. 1 UK Sales Negotiator in 2004 (1100 office’s Nationwide).

In 2012 I commenced my career working as a sales assistant under the Branch Manager Philip Hall in the Ellerslie office, as part of his team we finished No. 6 in the country and this experience was invaluable when I made the decision to work independently a couple of years later. 

The Real Estate Market is constantly evolving and over 500+ transactions later I am still energized by the fast-paced environment and take great pleasure in my work.  I’m a people person; I love being out and about and take great joy in being involved in the weighty and life changing decisions all the buyers and sellers entrust with me to assist them with.  As part of this changing landscape the industry is seeing the growth of more team structures and I am confident that Ben & Co has the right agents working alongside me to help a growing number of people in this dynamic industry.  

Outside of work my life is devoted to my two growing boys and I keep myself fit and healthy with exercise and soccer, but whilst I am at work, I take the responsibility of my role extremely seriously and operate with pride while trying to help everyone I meet.  To paraphrase wiser people “Life is easy when you have found what you are passionate about”.

10 is not high enough for Ben.He bent over backwards to find me a buyer and a lot of backwards and forwards. I was pleased with the number of people Ben had coming through the house from day one. Ben was helpful in looking for houses and he also helped fill in forms for a house I was looking at. I would recommend Ben to anyone who would listen and I have . All my family and friends. Ben always rings with a smile in his voice.

We made contact with Benjamin Neal from Ray White Ellerslie, because we were aware he had sold a number of houses in Mt Wellington, including our neighbours house. Benjamin was very open and transparent with his communication from our first meeting. He ran a very clear and concise campaign and kept us informed the whole way. He was able to recommend a staging company who staged our home beautifully and his ideas around advertising secured a large amount of interest for our home. Benjamin and his team worked very hard to secure a number of interested buyers and we ended up getting an offer we were very happy with in a challenging market. We would certainly recommend him to anyone who wants to sell their house.

"Ben is very knowledgeable and reliable when it comes to real estate. Very friendly and easy to deal with, sometimes even providing services exceeds your expectation, discussing on how to market your specific property successfully at the very beginning, keep you updated the entire sales process and most importantly, he gets the result. A true professional you can count on and keep a long term working relationship with.”

Ben Neal and Ray white are stars in an industry where you are spoiled for choice. In 30years of selling and buying houses I've never had service like it. My house had a few peculiarities that needed navigating through and Ben knew everyone in the industries to help me get the house ready to list.

Benjamin Neal is polite hard working and a genuinely decent human. Our interactions with him were both easy and professional leaving us in no doubt of his competence or his good nature. We would not hesitate to recommend him to any future client, and in fact have already passed his details to friends of ours. Actually I don’t think I can praise him highly enough.

from the first meeting with Ben where he came and had a quick look through our Rental property and gave us a lay out of our options relating to selling as is and doing some small renovations in the bathrooms and kitchen, at this stage we were not sure what we wanted to do. kind of just thinking about selling but not to seriously as we still had a few years be for we retired and had good tenants so there was no rush, then about 4 weeks later our son who was our tenant called to say he had a change in circumstances and would be moving out in a couple of weeks. it was a bit of a shock but i did not want to go back to dealing with real tenants so the decision was made to sell since it was going to be empty any way. We contacted Ben again and he was so helpful reassuring and confident that we could get the best money at Auction and had a plan to get us there in 6 weeks if we could get the renovations we were intending to do done in time. Luckily all went to plan i and Ben was there with as watching the progress and offering tips on small things that could make a large difference on auction day and getting people interested. Ben kept us informed of people coming through the open homes and followed up with us a couple of times a week some times more if there were offers he had to present to us, needless to say that through his work the auction exceeded all our expectations thanks to Ben and his companion. I don't have enough words to express how grateful i am to have had Ben as our Real Estate agent through this process

Benjamin and his team Jeffrey Ozawa and Thomas Garcia were fantastic. They made the whole process worry-free for my husband and I. They provided weekly updates with detailed feedback from the potential buyers. We especially appreciated Bens honesty, guidance and advice. He was upbeat, respectful, re-mindful and made us feel very well supported. The service provided by Ben, Jeff and Thomas was top class - we are very, very thankful.

Knowledgeable and likeable and great communication. He had stayed in contact with us from when we were looking at properties in the area years before so we knew we wanted him when we decided to sell.

Sarah Lawton

Excellent communicator that keeps you well informed throughout the process.

Alexandra Dare & Mark Gracie

Brian Francis

Benjamin Neal is by far the most clinically processed agent we have ever dealt with. He misses nothing! His communications are of the highest standard and one can simply tell that he is totally honest with the facts for all parties.

Gerard Elwell

Ben was excellent. Always kept us informed of progress at every step of the way and worked tirelessly to ensure we got the best price possible. A very honest and professional agent.

Raewyn Taylor

Benjamin gave me a good analysis for our property showing he knew the area well. He gave good steady advice and I was impressed with the phone calls and the growing list of people who had viewed the house. I felt he was working hard for us. He already knew property developers to show the property to. Also, I appreciated that when we were in a tough spot with a bad lawyer, he prayed for us . I felt he was honest and dependable and I trusted him.

Lauren Revie

Ben was extremely organised, as first time sellers this was really appreciated. We didnt really know much about how it all worked but he took the time to answer all our questions, reassure us that managing open homes with young children would be ok, and it was great until Level 3 hit! He kept us in the loop constantly after all the open homes and got us more than we expected, couldnt ask for a better agent, thanks Ben!

Steven Thomas

Ben and Jeffrey were very professional from start to finish on the sale of my property. Also the constant contact was very much appreciated, made me feel that they really cared about myself as well as the sale.

My agent was Thomas from Ben....he was extremely good....friendly... and a fun person to sell your house thru. Took a lot of stress off me... well done to Ben for handing my house sale to young Thomas 👍😄🌻

Tracey Richardson

Ben is professional, friendly and extremely hard working. I couldn’t have asked for a more dedicated effort. Ben was easy to work with and I was completely informed along the whole journey. Highly recommend Benjamin.

Manju & Kavisha

We get the personal feeling with him and felt that he is very honest and professional from the first day to the end.

Anna Potts

Benjamin has been excellent. I met him a number of years ago at an open home (for another property before we purchased the house he sold for us) and he kept in touch and gave honest feedback on current market conditions. I knew from his communication with me, and the fact he always took time to explain the market really well even though I was not an immediate prospect, that relationships mattered to him. So I knew when the time came to selling, that I would use Benjamin, regardless of which agency he was with. He was thorough and explained the sales process really well, had a good sales strategy and when it was on the market, he kept me in the loop at all times. In a difficult market (during and immediately post COVID-19) he ended up presenting us with three strong offers. With Benjamin giving us information that he had obtained from each of the three offers, it helped us make a decision as to which offer to accept.

Kim

From the outset Benjamin was particularly knowledgeable about the Mt Wellington/Ellerslie market. Throughout the process he has been professional, prompt, proactive with updates and able to balance the vendor, buyer, and in our case the tenants needs. Very refreshing to meet a salesperson who operates with high integrity. Benjamin should be proud of the service he provides his customers, more so Ray White should consider themselves lucky to have Benjamin representing their brand.

Catherine

Exceptional service. Benjamin is a listener and a great reader of people. He understood my position and worked with me every step of the way.

Helen & Keren

There are a few reasons Ben is one of the best – communication, a willingness to do a bit more than your average agent, and an insanely developed capacity to read people. He tracked every potential buyer who came through our home, remembered everyone’s names, kept us updated at every step, and then actually got our predicted sale price bank on! All of that, with open homes only one day on the weekend – so amazing given we have a two year old. His after-sale support was also incredible. He’s been checking in to make sure all is well, and even zoomed to our house to let in my mother, when Id forgotten to leave her a key. Not sure you could ask for anything more? Now were out looking in the market to buy, and it’s pretty obvious that Ben is well above the general standard. You’d be silly to go with anyone else!

Gareth

Benjamin exceeded our expectations in every way. He was always professional and easy to deal with. We always felt like his top priority, from the day he came to appraise the property through to the property going unconditional. Benjamin kept us informed of any and all developments throughout the process, and was very honest about where we stood and the options available to us. Benjamin worked incredibly hard for us, even when it may have been easier to settle earlier - his ongoing effort is greatly appreciated. I would happily recommend Benjamin Neal to anyone considering selling their home.

Jenny

I have been involved in property for 40 years and Benjamin Neal is the best agent I have ever dealt with. He is a very hard worker and an excellent salesman as well as being a thoroughly nice person.

Herbert & Raluca

Ben has been great to deal with. Providing us with timely updates on the latest developments and managing our expectations, his wealth of knowledge and experience came in very handy and ultimately resulted in a successful transaction. He has gone beyond the call of duty to help us achieve a great result at auction for which we are very grateful. Thank you Ben & Team!

David & Janet

Benjamin is a highly effective Real Estate agent. He is energetic and positive in this attitude and works hard to achieve the best result for his clients.

Lenville Rust

I have recently had experiences with two other agents and when I compare my experiences with Benjamin I can say that he was superior on all fronts. He was respectful, hard working and listened to what we wanted. He knew his stuff and achieved a great sale price for us.

Nasa Investments Ltd

Benjamin has done a fantastic job with the marketing of the property. His advice was excellent and he handled my tenants in a respectful and a professional manner. I also felt strongly that he was working hard to get me the best deal, this quality is sometimes missing from real estate agents. He was very clever in dealing a tricky buyer. I don't think I would have achieved the price I did if I tried to sell privately or used "just another agent". Benjamin definitely earned and deserves the competitive commission. If I have another house to sell, I would definitely ask Benjamin to market it and I will highly recommend him.
