Bought a home in 2012.Summary:
We just finished with the purchase of our first home with Ben Olsen as our agent. Ben was a phenomenal buyers agent. He definitely has his finger on the pulse of the housing market, no doubt in part because he seems to know everyone in lamorinda (or at least in Moraga!). He gave us invaluable insight as we looked at homes and definitely went the extra mile (dropping off boxes for our move, recommending top notch inspectors/contractors, continuing to work extremely hard even after everything closed.) His work ethic is amazing; he was always prompt in responding to our questions and seemingly worked all hours. Besides being good at what he does, he is a genuine, good person.…More Less
Response from The
Congratulations, and thanks for choosing the Olsen Team - It was great to work with you both. And yes, I know you would have liked to negotiate a bit more - but part of the expertise we offer is knowing when the deal is as good as it will get.... I look forward to seeing you in town!

Bought a Single Family home in 2011 for approximately $1.425M in Moraga, CA.Summary:
My husband and I knew Ben Olsen through our son’s school. He, initially, provided us with an excellent recommendation for a contractor to convert a room in our home. We were looking to sell our existing home in Moraga to move into a larger home, however we were hesitant to be displaced from our home while looking. Ben took the lead and started showing our home privately to prospective buyers over a 6 month period of time. During this time, our home was not listed and we were able to enjoy a hassle free life. All the while, we were looking at home to purchase. Ultimately, we received a wonderful offer on our existing home, however there were no homes on the market that would fit our family. We were talking with Ben, and I mentioned a home that I was disappointed we did not purchase that was on the market 4 months previously. I was under the assumption that this home sold. However, when Ben heard the home I loved, he knew this home did not sell, but was taken off the market. He immediately contacted the homeowners and asked if the home was still for sale. The owners were in fact still interested in selling their home, and we were able to put in an offer. This transaction was incredible. We were able to sell our home and purchase our dream home without any hassle or bidding wars. The entire process was smooth and worry-free. Ben was at our side every step of the way, and a true advocate for us! We are so thankful to Ben that we are now in our wonderful home and did not have to hold multiple open houses and worry about contingent offers. This was truly wonderful experience!
Ben Olsen’s personal knowledge and involvement in this community makes him the perfect choice for a realtor. He readily responds to any quest and has a wonderful list of referrals that he will quickly share. We enjoyed his enthusiasm and excitement over our home purchase and felt that he was the reason we are in our home today.…More Less

Bought a Single Family home in 2010 for approximately $200K in Concord, CA.Summary:
We bought our first home last year, located just outside of Walnut Creek. It was quite the process, but could not have been done without the help of the Olsen Team.
We worked one-on-one with Ben to help negotiate the sale. Ben's knowledge of the area and his excellent people skills helped see the sale through from beginning to end. He helped us make sure all the requirements for sale were met by the seller and paired us up with the a great team to help set up the mortgage loan.
Post-sale, Ben has continued to be a great source of information. As first time homeowners, we have had questions from time to time, some of which we send to Ben to see if he can assist us with. Ben has gone above and beyond the call of duty, responding to these calls and emails with very helpful responses.
We will be returning to the Olsen team when we decide to sell this home. I recommend them highly.…More Less
