Working with Ben was awesome. We interviewed several agents and the main takeaway we got from our interview with Ben was that he was authentic, upfront, and most importantly made us feel comfortable to work with him and that he was going to put our interests first over making a quick sale. He never tried to upsell us on anything and did not try to spin it into representing us or having his firm represent us for our home BUYING search, and only focused on SELLING our unit which meant a lot to us.

Our average selling time projection based on comps was 90 days. Ben got our unit sold in 14 days!

Ben and Maria were great communicating with us and were very responsive and helpful and made the process for a first time seller simple and stress free. If you want to have your mind put at ease and know you are in great hands, then I highly recommend working with Ben.

Ben Hoosen-Jones sold our Philadelphia condominium in 20 days! We had superb traffic for both private and open house showings plus we didn’t need to reduce the price. That’s especially impressive considering today’s economic climate and condominiums usually take much longer to sell. Almost any realtor can help you find a property to buy but it takes a truly talented one to sell your residence successfully.

Ben gave us excellent advice on how to prep our condo and what not to spend money on to prep our place for market. He actually saved us money.

When we got the offer I was surprised by the aggressive counter offer he suggested but the buyer accepted it. This was the smoothest real estate transaction I’ve ever been involved in thanks to Ben and his team support at The McCann Group.

Ben and Maria have been amazing to work with, especially being first time homebuyers! They are very professional, helpful, and caring people that just want to see you happy at the end of the day. They make the home buying process seem like a breeze and will answer any and every question you have. We are very lucky to have had them through this process and I can’t recommend them enough!

Ben made buying our 1st home a very easy process. He always made himself available for questions and was incredibly knowledgeable about the process, helping guide us through every step. He made himself available anytime there was a house we wanted to see and was very insightful about the positives and negatives of each. Once we found the one we wanted, he made the process stress free with his recommendations for things like our offer, our mortgage, inspection, and always being available to answer any questions we threw his way. Would definitely recommend Ben!

Ben got my wife and I out of a difficult sale process and took a huge weight off our shoulders. We had a number of major life events going on that required us to sell the home asap in a difficult market, and Ben came in pricing our home correctly to make it attractive enough for offers but still high enough to turn a small profit. He was super transparent and gave us confidence throughout. Thanks Ben!

Highly recommend working with Ben. He supported us through a tough, drawn out housing search and remained responsive, positive, and spot on with his suggestions. Early on when we were considering which realtor to sign on with, we asked ourselves which we would want on our side during a tough negotiation and it was easy to choose Ben. He knows the market, is well regarded, is well connected, and knows what to look out for in an inspection. We've been in our new home for just a short time now and love what we found with his help. Thanks Ben!

My wife and I have a house and live in California. When our lovely granddaughter was born, we made the decision this February to go “bi-coastal” and buy a house in Philadelphia to spend more time with her and be a part of her childhood. We had no knowledge of the real estate situation in Philly and brought with us a checklist of common and not so common needs and criterion – safety; sufficient living space (to accommodate my granddaughter, her parents and us when we visit); good school district; optimal commute to work; great neighborhood; proximity to shopping, services, activities; walkability; and of course, properties that are within our budget. We also had a time limit on finding a house that met the above criteria as my son and his partner’s rental lease terminates in July.
As we were doing the house search long distance, we knew we needed a knowledgeable, experienced realtor we could trust to guide us in our search with the short time and established budget. Ben Hoosen-Jones met our criteria. He’s extremely familiar with the city and different neighborhoods. He’s approachable, friendly, professional and exceedingly responsive. He listened to our requirements and needs and was a creative problem-solver. As a bonus, we received great support from Maria Hoosen-Jones!
We highly recommend Ben as your realtor in your house search.

I had the pleasure of working with Ben as my agent as I searched for my first house and cannot recommend him enough. From the moment I started working with him, Ben exhibited an unparalleled level of personability that immediately put me at ease. His support and guidance throughout the entire process were invaluable and Ben's vast knowledge of the real estate market made me feel confident in every decision I made.

Ben's patience and support knows no bounds. He took the time to understand my needs, answer all of my questions, and never made me feel rushed. It was evident that he genuinely cared about finding the perfect fit for me. He would always offer recommendations from his bank of expertise but also made it clear my decision is the decision he would push for. This client-first mantra was exactly what a buyer needs during the buying process.

Last, yet most importantly, Ben's negotiation skills are top-notch. He managed to secure an great deal for me, in a market with historically low inventory. I truly couldn't have asked for a better realtor. If you want someone who is not only great at what they do but also genuinely cares about their clients, look no further. Thank you again, Ben.

He made sure I was very comfortable with every term at every step. He would never make me feel pressured to make a decision. He made me feel as though he really had my back and my best interest, which was very much appreciated as a single, first time home buyer. He seemed to look out for me to make sure I was getting exactly what I wanted. Ben would take my calls late at night after I got off of work, even on holiday weekends. He took the time to answer every annoying first time home buyer question I had and helped to ease the stress of this process. Ben started as my realtor and ended up feeling like an old friend.

His professionalism and personality is more than we could have asked for.

Another great experience working with Ben the Brit! We worked with Ben back in 2018 to purchase our home, and were repeat clients again this year when we decided to sell the same home. Ben is an expert at what he does - he was able to help us price the house perfectly for a quick sale at a sale price we were very happy with. He also has a skilled eye for staging the house to appeal to buyers, and.a great sense for timing when to hit the market and when to have listings/open houses to attract the most serious buyers. He handled the negotiations well, offering advice but never pushing us to make a decision one way or another or rushing us on such a big decision. His team also made all of the closing process very simple for us with detailed step by step instructions on everything we had to do. Such a pleasure working with Ben, and of course his accent is an added bonus! :).
