Trusted Advisor, Skilled Negotiator, & Expert Facilitator
Ben Faber is a realtor who knows his stats—a practice that started right from a childhood spent obsessively collecting, analyzing and pricing baseball cards. Now he applies his naturally analytic mind to the Marin market to identify trends, patterns and changing demographics, a practice that keeps him consistently a step ahead, with $326M+ in sales closed to date. His mantra is to always deliver more value than expected, and interpreting the numbers is only one part of it.
As the founding agent of Faber Real Estate Team, Ben leads a team dedicated to, quite simply, doing the best thing for each buyer, seller or investor—every single time. Under his leadership, the team offers sellers a concierge service, drafting and managing a custom market preparation plan for each home that maximizes its value; for buyers and investors, the team draws from its knowledge of off-market listings that often require out-of-the-box dealmaking, quick thinking and of course, a deep understanding of demographics and data. Ben believes in higher standards, quality control and excellent marketing that makes use of the latest digital tools, and applies those fundamental actions to every transaction he handles.
Born in San Francisco, raised in Larkspur and educated at UC Santa Barbara, Ben brings a native’s expertise to his role. He’s a proactive problem-solver and a skilled dealmaker who treats every transaction as if it’s his own, passionate about homes and committed to leveraging his intimate market knowledge for the benefit of his clients. And he’s a Marin homeowner and investor himself, with hands-on knowledge of renovation, design and architecture, all of which makes him an extremely valuable advisor.

We moved to Oakland in January of 2020 from Minnesota, planning to live in an apartment for a year, and then find a home in the east bay within 15 minutes of Central Oakland. But to our dismay and disappoint there was nothing I would remotely consider appropriate for my wife that did not entail a couple years of headaches and a lot of remodeling. I contacted Ben to help us find something we could live in and live with. He did a great job helping to us clarify what we were actually looking for and got us into this great place in Point Richmond--an absolute hidden gem with a great view of San Francisco bay. It is hard to express in words how much we love this place. He got us this home well below our max budget and we closed within a short time with no hiccups. Again thanks Ben, Linda and Angela for making this happen.

Ben Faber Did excellent work, he is very knowledgeable and professional. He kept me well informed of serious buyers and the number of those that viewed the property. He provided me with constant updated with the concierge and the remodeling work. He has good negotiating skills and got me the sale price that I was happy with. He helped facilitate the loan for the remodeling work and walked me though the loan process and secure the funding.

There are not enough words of praise to describe the care and professionalism shown to us by Ben Faber throughout the entire search process for our new home. Both my husband and I were impressed time and again with Ben's diligent and thoughtful approach to our real estate needs, as well as his wealth of knowledge regarding the entire Marin real estate market. We felt as if he truly listened to our goals and, in so doing, guided us along the right path until we found the place best suited for us. He kept us fully informed, and pointed out the pros and cons of all the properties we toured. In addition, his recommendation of a lender couldn't have been better, and once we moved in, Ben was also able to give us the names of contractors for work our house needed. We will not only recommend Ben as a real estate agent to anyone, but should we ever decide to buy anything else in the future, he is the only person we will call!

It was a great pleasure working with Ben. He's punctual, considerate and very professional. Even if we can have casual conversations and jokes, his mind is always on the look out for our needs. Detail-oriented, organized, he's thorough and always makes sure we understand everything that is going on. He knows the market and is an expert at what he does. Even though he's very busy, at no point in time did we feel like we couldn't reach him, it felt like we were always his priority, and that made communication completely stress-free. Unlike a traditional agent, he actually looks out for the client, not for himself. We were gladly surprised when he suggested we lowered our offer, he really tried to get the best deal for us. We highly recommend working with Ben as a buying AND selling agent.

I recently purchased a home from Ben and was thrilled with his high level of customer service and attention to detail. He displayed a strong balance between the details of the purchase and the excitement felt by both the buyer and seller. He also made a point to get to know me as a person and showed the courtesy and qualities I see in my closest friends. I am glad I had the opportunity to work with Ben and hope to do so again in the future. I highly recommend that you work with Ben if you have the chance.

I had a very short time in which to find a home. After meeting with me and determining my housing preferences, Ben immediately started the search. He contacted me daily with updates and within a short time I had a new home. Ben was personable and attentive, he responded promptly to emails, text messages and phone calls. Ben presented me with options, complete with Pros & Cons, and never pressured me or tried to influence me in any way. He also has a great personality which makes it really easy to work with him. I highly recommend Ben and look forward to working with him again in the future.

Benjamin is incredibly diligent, hard-working, and dedicated. He was always eager to take on extra tasks for the good of the team. Took a lot of personal responsibility to make sure the job got done right, even if it meant more work for him. Benjamin also has a consistently great attitude, and is a total pleasure to work with. He is bright and an innovative thinker. In short, I would recommend Benjamin for any job which he would desire because I know that he will combine work-ethic and capability to get the job done well.

Benjamin helped us to buy our home in Marin in mid 2014. He was very responsive to time sensitive issue like last minute offers and negotiating disclosures etc.. He was very professional, courteous and always attentive to details involved in the transaction. I'd certainly recommend working with Benjamin in the future.

Ben was great to work with. He was very thorough during the whole process, helping prep the home, holding open houses, negotiating and anything else that came up. His communication is very direct and transparent, and very quick to get you any info as soon as it is available. Very much a pleasure to work with.

Ben was able to list, market and sell my home in less than 30 days from the date we looked at offers. The 100 year old home needed a specific type of buyer (not for the faint of heart.) Through his marketing we found that buyer and the house sold for full asking price! The process was painless and having bought and sold a lot of homes over the years I know first hand this is often not the case. He has since helped my son purchase his first home, in Marin, not an easy task for first time buyers!

Ben is, bar none, the best Realtor I have ever worked with. My particular transaction was extremely competitive, and there's no way I would have secured the property without Ben's assistance. He is a professional from start to finish and is truly driven. I will absolutely work with Ben again.
