Ben Baran Testimonial

  • I had a great experience renting an apartment with Ben. He was extremely knowledgable and helpful throughout the process. The apartment I applied for had a lot of interest and he was very prompt in advising me the best way to get the lease. And it was successful! He was responsive and personable throughout the entire process.

    MC

  • I can't even explain how grateful I am that Ben responded to a query from me during a time of absolute apartment crisis! I had a large list of needs and wants for my new place, as well as a very intense time crunch. Ben found me the perfect spot, toured me through it the same day, and worked through his weekend (never necessary! but incredibly kind and generous of him) to secure the lease. I appreciate his hard work and kindness, and will absolutely contact him again for my next apartment.

    JC

  • I struggled for what felt like so long to find an apartment, when finally I found Ben and he helped me so much! He was able to take me to all of the apartments I wanted to see within a short amount of time, and I finally found the one perfect for me!

    KD

  • Ben was a huge help during my search for an apartment. I could not have done it without him!
