Raving Reviews

I cannot recommend Ben Marquez highly enough—he’s not just a real estate agent, he’s a true powerhouse who treats every transaction like it’s his own and delivers results that blow expectations out of the water. From the very first conversation, he took complete ownership of the process, diving deep into my needs, market insights, and long-term goals with laser-focused expertise and relentless energy. He didn’t just list or show properties; he strategized, negotiated like a seasoned pro, and anticipated every potential hurdle before it even appeared. What sets Ben Marquez apart is how he genuinely takes care of business on every level. He coordinated inspections, repairs, financing, and paperwork with lightning speed and zero drama, turning what could have been a stressful ordeal into a smooth, confident journey. His communication is proactive and crystal clear—he kept me updated at every step, answered questions at all hours, and offered smart, honest advice that went far beyond the sale itself. Whether it was market timing, staging tips, or future investment strategies, he acted as a trusted advisor and advocate who truly had my back. If you’re thinking about buying or selling, do yourself a massive favor and reach out to Ben Marquez @ higher living first. Don’t waste time shopping around—talk to him directly. His unmatched dedication, sharp negotiation skills, and ability to make the entire experience feel effortless make him the only choice worth making. He doesn’t just close deals; he builds lasting confidence and delivers exceptional outcomes every single time. Hands down, the best in the business! Thank you, Ben Marquez for making my real estate experiences (4) outstanding in every way! By the way his team are amazing communicators and very experienced.

Ben and Lainey are a home buyer's dream team! As first-time home buyers especially, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. They were so informative every step of the way, made us feel comfortable asking questions, and made sure we always knew our options before taking the next step. They gave us their honest opinion about factors we should consider when buying and we never felt pressure from them to close the deal. It feels rare these days to find people with expertise that also provide a high standard of personalized client care, but that's exactly where the Higher Living team shines. Highly recommended!

I can't say enough good things about Ben! He helped sell my house within 24 hours of putting it on the market. He was professional, knowledgable and always returned my phone calls or emails in a timely manner. My house needed a few repairs prior to putting it on the market and he was able to give me great recommendations. He was honest throughout the entire process and helped me sell my home for over asking price. He made the sale of my home such an easy and stress free process. I couldn't have chosen a better realtor.

Ben made the harrowing process of purchasing my first home a breeze. I work in the mortgage industry and am aware of the many different pitfalls involved in purchasing a home. Ben and his recommended loan officer were always available to answer questions, constantly provided updates, and have the right technology tools to take the process from A to Z in the most efficient manner possible. Additionally, Ben's negotiations skills meant that I was able to purchase my home for 10k less than what it was appraised for!

Ben truly gets to know his clients, which adds an entirely new level of trust as a home buyer/seller. For anyone that hasn’t gone through the process, this type of added attention to detail is wonderful during a potentially stressful process.

After meeting two or three other real estate agents, we came to Ben through a referral from a friend. From our very first conversation to the very end, he was an excellent resource for us. We were first time home buyers, new to the Phoenix market, without much real estate knowledge. Ben led us through this difficult and harrowing process with enthusiasm and kindness. This process isn't easy for anyone (let alone people home buying on a budget). We put in offers on two properties and hit snags along the way. Whenever we encountered a problem, Ben had at least one or two solutions to offer. Throughout our many interactions, Ben was quick to respond to our calls and text messages. He was very patient with our many, many, very specific questions and constantly reassured us that he was there to help us with everything we needed (tours, lender and contractor referrals, doubts/fears). Despite the pandemic, and it being a seller's market, Ben was able to get us into a very beautiful home in a well established community without paying over asking price and with the seller covering 100% of our closing costs. We aren't even paying our HOA dues for a year! That is the true testament to his skills as a real estate agent.Beyond having all the necessary knowledge for doing his job well, Ben is a generous person who is very easy to spend time with--and with this process, you guys will spend a lot of time together! It was great heading to tours and spending hours on the phone with someone who felt like a (very professional) friend. He made the closing day experience very special. I won't give away what he did exactly (for any potential future buyers) but there was a mini ceremony which marked the big moment as the huge life event that it is. I would recommend Ben as a real estate agent to anyone who asked, and we definitely plan on contacting him again in the future.

Ben not only took me around to houses that fit my criteria but spent time with me and my family in each of them while we discussed if that house was the best choice. He always provided unbiased and professional advice and information. His negotiation skills were key to us getting the right house for the right price. I would recommend him a million times.

Loyalty

This custom presentation that I’ve shared with you is an example of the care and effort I put into each of my best clients. I recognize that real estate transactions are one of the largest financial transactions of your life and it deserves careful consideration and wise planning. In light of this, you should feel strongly that mutual respect and understanding are key components of hiring me to help you accomplish real results starting right away.

Reviewing each other’s roles and responsibilities as we embark on the next steps together is how we can decide if we are ready to move forward together.
