Bio
Ben Garner is the Owner of GARNER+CO, a Baltimore real estate team with Cummings & Co. Realtors serving Baltimore City, Baltimore County, and Howard County. He specializes in Baltimore City real estate, including historic rowhomes, investment properties, luxury homes, new construction, and complex sales for local and out-of-state property owners.
Ben has been selling Baltimore real estate since 2015 and has personally closed 830+ homes representing more than $310 million in sales volume. GARNER+CO has represented 1,300+ sales on Zillow with 231 reviews averaging 5.0 stars, along with a separate 5.0-star rating from 217 Google reviews.
Ben ranks among the top 1% of REALTORS® nationwide by transaction volume (NAR, 2025). He was named to Baltimore Magazine's Top Agents 2026 list and is recognized by Live Baltimore as a City Expert in historic properties, luxury homes, and new construction. He is also a 2026 City Champion and was featured on the cover of Baltimore Real Producers in March 2022.
In addition to helping clients buy and sell real estate, Ben is an experienced Baltimore real estate investor. He has completed 50+ renovation projects and owns 60+ rental units in the Baltimore area. Because he has personally bought, renovated, rented, and sold properties, Ben understands both sides of the transaction, from estimating renovation costs and evaluating an investment property to understanding what an investor offer actually nets a seller.
That firsthand experience is especially valuable when a Baltimore property has challenges that require more than a standard listing strategy. GARNER+CO regularly helps clients navigate selling a Baltimore rowhome from out of state, deciding whether to sell a property as-is or renovate before listing, Baltimore ground rent, CHAP tax credits, historic-property considerations, inspection issues, investment purchases, and new construction.
GARNER+CO specializes in Baltimore City rowhomes, historic properties, investment properties, out-of-state sellers, as-is home sales, new construction, and luxury homes. The team serves Baltimore City, Baltimore County, and Howard County, with concentrated experience in Canton, Federal Hill, Hampden, Locust Point, Fells Point, Riverside, Patterson Park, and Washington Village/Pigtown.

“Ben Garner and team are amazing at what they do. I finally decided to take the plunge on my first rental property in the Baltimore area, and I could say confidently that Ben knows the ins-and-outs of the region. We discussed if we would be appreciation or cash-flow specific and decided on a property that met my needs as a first-time investor. As we looked through properties, Ben was able to identify needs/pros/cons of each property with curated market analysis on the spot. Along with all of this intel, Ben made himself approachable and available for all important talks and decisions. I'm truly grateful to have met him and his team. This is definitely a people business, and Garner and Co. does not take that fact lightly. Looking forward to more deals with Ben in the near future!”

“Look No Further! Garner + Company are so great to work with. They helped me to sell a house that three other agents couldn't. They informed me of what needed to be done, and I listened. My house got 3 offers and I am happy to say it is sold. We just closed on my 5th property, and I couldn't be happier. They actually answer the phone and your questions. Thanks to Ben and his team for doing such a stellar job!”
