My interaction with Benjamin Lissner from B&W was excellent. He was patient, knew what to look out for when looking at a unit, and was very responsive. In general the whole process was made easy as they provide so much help and guidance to every step in the process. I would highly recommend going with this Ben.
Loved working with you Ben! Thanks for everything

Ben is an amazing realtor! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a new home. He was attentive to our needs and always made us feel like a priority. Ben always made time for us and set up showings in a timely manner for homes that met our search criteria. He was extremely knowledgeable and guided us through the negotiation process with ease. We couldn't be happier wit...
Ben was professional, friendly and helpful, not to mention very knowledgeable from the first moment he began to search for the right tenant for our condo in the South Loop. He went above & beyond the duties of a real estate agent to make our property attractive to potential renters. Thanks again Ben, for making this process so smooth for us.
Service level went above and beyond from start to finish. Ben and his team have detailed knowledge of the Chicago real estate market and specific neighborhoods. Given the concierge level of service we received from Ben, we would work with him again and have already recommended him to friends.
Ben helped me both with finding a tenant for my condo as well as selling it. I don't live in Chicago anymore so I really appreciated how response and proactive he was. He always kept me up to date on how things were going and was very knowledgeable about the area. I trusted that Ben was working hard to find us the best possible tenant/buyer and in the end, he was able to find us both at ...
Ben went above and beyond to help me make my condo look its best, to get the best promotional materials, and to get the most visibility with potential buyers. We started receiving offers within 24 hours of the first open house, and within only a couple of days I accepted a very nice offer. Ben definitely works very hard for you, he does excellent work.
I write this review in great support of Ben Lissner. Ben truly is the BEST! In a fiercely competitive real estate marketplace it’s important to select and identify the very best individual to represent and sell your condo. Ben’s responsible approach is keenly focused on developing an authentic relationship that serves the best interests of all parties involved. Ben truly cares about ...
Ben was a fantastic realtor to work with. There were four particular qualities that I respect most about Ben: 1) responsiveness, 2) authenticity, and 3) likeability. and 4) resourcefulness 1) Responsiveness: Ben was always quick to respond to a text or a call, whether on a weekend or during the workweek. He took great care of me as a first-time home buyer and made sure that everything...
I started looking to purchase a condo in Chicago (river north) this past November with no experience and I really wasn’t even sure where to start. I went on Zillow and requested to tour a few properties, and Zillow reached out to connect me with Ben. We had a preliminary phone call to discuss my criteria in condos, and Ben put together an online portfolio of well-curated selection ...
Very happy with the whole experience! Everything was very smooth, from showing to the closing. Also had a great experience with all the specialists Ben recommended (lawyer, lender, inspector). Have already recommended Ben to friends!
Ben helped me buy my first condo and he was a pleasure to work with, to say the least. I was referred to Ben from friends in February 2019, to my closing it's been about 5 months and Ben has been very helpful every step of the way. We actually took a break and put off condo-hunting for a couple months as I had to study for an exam but Ben was extremely accommodating even though it mea...
Ben is the consummate professional. He knew how to stage my property so it showed to its best advantage, and it sold in 2 weeks, in a very competitive market. And though my house-hunting was a bit frenzied, he calmly helped me navigate the process, even during the coronavirus crisis. I can't recommend Ben highly enough!!
My wife and I weren't likely the best clients of Ben Lissner's, as we searched and searched for a new home for approximately 6 months.. But all I can say is that Ben was very diligent in finding us properties, always flexible at accommodating our crazy schedules for showings, and most importantly Ben truly shined at the negotiation table. We got a fantastic deal and oh by the way, did I...
Ben was a total pro and made the homebuying process as smooth as possible! It was a pleasure working with Ben and he has a great team working alongside him. He was quick and responsive to texts and emails at all hours of the day (and night!) and I could tell that he always had my best interests in mind. I would definitely recommend Ben to anyone I know that's in the market for a home!
My partner and I were first time home buyers and didn't really know what we were getting ourselves into. Ben was there with us every step of the way and made sure we understood the process. He really listened to all of our wants/needs and helped us find our perfect first home. Due to Covid-19 we had a VERY difficult time with getting a loan in place. Once our offer was accepted it was...
We tried to purchase our first home, and honestly did not know where to start. It was one of the greatest opportunities we had to meet Ben and work with him purchasing the property. He was passionate and professional throughout the whole process. He was also very patient on us since we were often times confused and worried. He gave us comfort and confidence with his knowledge about the p...
This man deserves a 10. He has a getter done att. Any problem that comes up he takes care of immediately. He is a working fool. His work ethic will wow you
Ben was very knowledgeable about the chicago market. Was very accessible and flexible with his time. Not to mention friendly and kind. He allowed me to show him what kind of homes i liked and then would look for those homes to show me as well as similar homes i might like. He was able to show me homes that fell within my budget. We had a lot of time to see a variety of homes and settle o...
We have been through the process of buying homes before, but this has been by far the most easiest & enjoyable experience we have gone through. Despite the expected pandemic restrictions, Ben was able to give us multiple virtual showings of many properties which was very much representative of an in-person viewing. We really appreciated his professional guidance throughout the purchasing...
Ben was wonderful to work with! I was a first time homeowner, doing a cross country move, trying to purchase during the the pandemic.. not an easy situation. Ben worked with me for months to find a place that I LOVE. When I first reached out last year I was passively looking and Ben was not pushy at all. We did many video tours as I was not able to see them in person and he was honest a...
It was a pleasure working with Ben as we searched for our new home. He understood both what we were looking for, what price range we were comfortable with, and he knows the market very well.
Ben helped my spouse and I navigate just what we were looking for as first time owners. I strongly recommend working with Ben or anyone on his team if you are looking for professional, knowledgeable and insightful guidanc
I would unreservedly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a real estate agent. He was already attentive and helpful when we were first dipping our toes into the water, then he turned it up a notch when we decided to put in an offer. As first-time buyers, we needed a lot of handholding and reassurance, and he provided that. He helped us negotiate a good chunk off the asking price, connecte...
Ben was informative and insightful when showing me multiple units during my search in the South Loop. He is very knowledgeable and familiar in that area. Friendly and easy to work with.
Ben is fantastic at what he does. He was a consummate professional and was extremely helpful at every step of my home buying process, including when we had to navigate some unexpected issues at the first closing date. Couldn't have asked for a better real estate agent. Highly recommend!
Ben was amazing. At first we weren’t sure exactly what we wanted so he very patiently took us to all the condos we asked to see and let us figure out what was right for us. He didn’t try to steer us to higher priced units like some realtors will do. I really felt that his goal was for us to be happy with our choice regardless of what that was. He was always there for us and worke...
He was an excellent agent, with good contacts, would highly recommend him to anyone. He took care of the whole process for me, knew quirks about properties and listing agents, and went out of his way to find good listings I missed.
Ben did an excellent job of guiding us through the purchase of our home! He was attentive and patient with us. Ben was quick to respond to all of our questions and concerns. Ben was able to accommodate our schedule to show us multiple homes in a timely manner whenever we needed him. He was knowledgeable and professional at all times and guided us through the negotiation process wih ea...
