As a John L. Scott broker, my mission is transactional excellence and client satisfaction. That means I work tirelessly to make your home buying or selling process as efficient, stress-free and lucrative for you as possible.

 

Representation

I take pride in offering high-caliber full-service residential real estate expertise. My clients are my top priority, and I focus on delivering the best possible results for them.

 

Expertise

The real estate market is hyperlocal, seasonal and temperamental—in other words, it can change on a dime. Technology has made information more accessible to everyone, but it can be difficult to keep up with recent events that affect home values. The benefits of working with a licensed real estate professional go far beyond what a mobile app, online video, or website can do.

I provide my clients with information on market seasonality and information relevant to what is happening in their specific neighborhood. This customized analysis includes recent comparable sales that factor into an offer and acceptance strategy.

 

Negotiations

Successful negotiations help move a conversation forward and transform the process into an agreement that’s a win for all parties. Negotiation is not only a skill, but a mindset. I keep my clients’ best interests top of mind as I negotiate on their behalf. 

 

Transactional Excellence

I am dedicated to transactional excellence for every listing and sale. What this means for you is that I oversee every detail of the real estate transaction. The transaction is far from over once an offer has been accepted. I monitor inspections, appraisals, title, escrow and loan processes. Communication and collaboration with all the partners and parties involved with the transaction ensures a smooth and timely closing. I am committed to my clients before, during and after a sale.  

ABOUT ME 
 

Hi there! My names Ben Clayton and I am born and raised here in the Pacific Northwest. I love everything about Washington - from the city life to the short drive it takes to get into the mountains. This place has a little bit of everything to offer it’s residents!

I first got into real estate for two main reasons. One, I love servicing people and taking care of them. When someone is working with me I want them to feel all of the weight lifted off of their shoulders and onto mine. Getting to work for other people, I feel the upmost gratitude! Secondly, I know exactly what a home can mean to people. I lived in our childhood home for over 20 years and have very fond memories there. To have the opportunity to navigate someone through a transaction involving a home that they hold dear to them- which can be so difficult, is something I think is huge honor. 

I am based in Tacoma, which is an area I think is amazing. But go wherever I am needed. I think every part of this state ha something amazing to offer people! Whether you’re thinking of purchasing your first home, selling a lifelong family home or looking for an investment property, I hope you’ll consider me and know you will be treated with the upmost care.
