Ben Garner

Agent

Bio

A highly successful and sought-after agent, Ben Garner owes much of his distinction and devotion to his natural-born leadership. Defining his early career as one of The Daily Record’s Rising Stars, Ben has since earned consistent recognition as a Baltimore Real Producer by the magazine of the same name — and became the feature story for its March 2022 edition. Other highlights include being ranked in the top 5% of Top Producers overall in Maryland and in the top 5% of Buyer’s Agents nationally by HomeLight, and earning Top 30 Agents in Their 30s status from Real Producers in 2020. Ben specializes in working with retail buyers but is also enthusiastic about helping investors build their legacy through real estate. His statistics may be impressive, but his clients value him most for what he’s never without: hard work, honesty, and integrity.

Whether becoming president of his high school’s senior class, organizing a charitable race in college to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project, or essentially creating his major at the University of Maryland, Ben has always taken initiative in life. His college concentration in individual studies allowed him to learn about subjects unique to his interests while connecting him to specialized experts in various fields. Upon graduation, Ben worked for his alma mater’s athletic department before transitioning into sales at iHeartMedia. Between college networking and navigating a challenging customer service environment, Ben learned how to develop an easy rapport with people in any situation.

Forever interconnected, Ben’s aunt was also a highly successful real estate agent who saw his talent for sales and often encouraged him to enter the business. He initially put his newly earned real estate license to use for a secondary income but quickly transitioned into real estate full-time — a decision he hasn’t regretted for a minute. He’s humbled to be a part of such a significant milestone in people’s lives, and, with over 40,000 agents throughout Maryland, he’s honored when clients choose him.

A Maryland native, Ben got to marry his wonderful wife, Jessica, twice (due to the coronavirus), and they finally had their wedding ceremony in August 2021. In Ben’s downtime, he enjoys doing CrossFit, running, cooking, and dining at local restaurants.

“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!”

Testimonials

"Always available and quick to respond and answer any concerns. Very pleasant to work with. We searched quite a bit and I seemed to be always a day late due to contracts, Carolyn kept us going forward and collectively we found the perfect place for me. Carolyn is 100% about her client and will not settle for less than perfect for her client no matter how long or whatever it takes."
"As a first time homebuyer, Carolyn made the experience easier and more stress free than I could possibly imagine. A previous Realtor made me feel like a burden, that they were doing me a massive favor, and this turned me off to the entire process for a few years. Not so with Carolyn. She answered every text, email, and phone call near-immediately, was extremely helpful and answered every question Read MoreRead Less

"Results. In the end, isn’t that what we’re seeking when we select a Realtor? Jason Forry certainly produced for us in that regard, and in a timely fashion. Properly pricing a high end home, when few local comps are available, is always a challenge. Jason was thorough in his research and helped us set a price that was market appropriate. He also quickly brought a qualified buyer to us and worked wiRead MoreRead Less
"We just closed on our dream house and much of the credit for that goes to Jason Forry. We were looking to build and he helped us find the right property, the right builder and even helped us with some critical layout/mechanical points as we designed our new house. From there, Jason was super responsive to any concerns we had along the way. He was the perfect intermediary between us and the builderRead MoreRead Less

"Timmie was by far the best part of our home buying experience. I honestly don't know how we could've gotten through it without her! She was knowledgeable, approachable, friendly, and always professional. She provided helpful and sound advice on market trends and was always honest with us when we asked (many) questions. It was because of her and her honesty that we were confident in our investment.Read MoreRead Less
"I would highly recommend Timmie. She helped us buy a house that was for sale by the owner. Transactions like these can often be complicated because there is not a professional on the other side, but Timmie worked tirelessly to ensure that we got our dream home. She was a strong advocate for us during the home inspection process and negotiated a very fair price for our house. We are so lucky to havRead MoreRead Less

Highly recommend Timmie Taff!"

I have recommended her to other friends who have also been happy with her work, and wilRead MoreRead Less
"Timmie Taff is a great seller's agent and I highly recommend her. She was the second agent I hired to try to sell my house and the contrast between her and my prior agent was like night and day.

"As an agent in NJ , I’ve recommended Laura in the past for my daughter and son in law’s house. Her work ethic and attention to detail was impeccable. Remembering her, I once again decided to use her as my agent when I decided to move to MD. Laura is an outstanding realtor/agent."
"Laura is a true real estate professional. Her guidance and experience made our home selling and buying decision process a great experience. She worked with my wife and I throughout the entire process and was always available for questions. We look forward to having Laura join us for our house warming party!"
"Laura Dernoga is first-class when it comes to assisting her clients before, during and after a real-estate transaction. Personally, coming from a previous experience where I felt I wasn’t being represented in my personal best interest, hiring Laura was refreshing and a relief.

Shari continues to be an outstanding reRead MoreRead Less

An experienced realtor, Shari is very knowledgeable about what it takes to sell and to buy a home.

For our two sales, she led us through the maze of preppRead MoreRead Less
