"Ben and Shannon were extremely helpful through the process of purchasing our Toro Park home. From start to finish it took us a long time to find the property we wanted and they hung with us. Being from out of state there are a lot of nuances to the local market and Ben was a great navigator. In our experience, everyone on Team Beesley was professional, responsive, and acted in our best interest."
-Mark Kooiman, Client
"Cory was great! He worked really hard and did a great job keeping us informed each step of the way. He was considerate and helpful. I would definitely recommend him!"

"Working with Ben was great. He was helpful, responsive and available during every step in the process, which was seamless from start to finish. He’s extremely knowledgeable of the area, the real estate market and local resources. I can’t think of anything he or his team could have done better or different."
-Cindy B, Client
"Ben Beesley Is The Best! Ben is savvy, experienced, dependable, good humored and unflappable. If he doesn’t have an answer to a question, he will get it without delay. Ben patiently discussed the pros and cons of selling before I finally decided to list my house. Then he marketed the house energetically and creatively until he got it sold in short order. Once the property was in escrow, he was diligent in keeping me up to date, timely providing me with documents that needed to be signed, and promptly responding to all of my concerns. My sale went through smoothly, in large part due to Ben’s professional diligence and extensive knowledge of the local real estate market. Working with Ben was one of the best experiences I've had in real estate. I appreciate his honest advice, his dedication to his work, and his personal service. I highly recommend him. He is the best!"
-Carol L. , Client
"Ben was one of the best agents I have ever worked with. He is responsive and organized. He has a great reputation in town and he helped me to get contractors to help me fix up my home. I can't tell you how wonderful it was to work with him after working with Ben and his team. He goes above and beyond for his clients (even calling me and working from is Hawaii vacation)
He is wonderful and I would use him again."
-Jennifer, Client
"Cory was amazing in guiding me every step of the way with locating my house according to my needs and budget. He understood what I was looking for and was very thorough in checking every single nook and cranny of the house to making sure it was good for purchase. If he was not knowledgeable in any area he immediately located someone who was and confirmed everything that was needed. He is a hard worker and was an amazing help in my home buying process."
-Nishan P, Client

"If you want someone who is resourceful, patient, knowledgeable, and most importantly who will advocate for you, then David is the right guy for you. Wether you’re a first time homebuyer, or just looking to buy your next property, David has the knowledge and drive to get you your dream place. We were first time home buyers, and David took the time to really explain the entire process to us and make sure that we fully understood what needed to get done before we could move forward. We ended up waiting almost a year to get everything we needed to do to be ready, and he was always checking in with us. Once we were ready he got to work quickly, putting in offers and taking the time to view homes when we were available. When we found our home, he worked incredibly fast, and his lightning speed was the deciding factor for the sellers to choose us. You can count on him to not only help you through the process, but for young buyers like us, he also took the time to give us long term life advice"
-diazjessica304, Client
"Buying and selling a home in 2020 is not an easy job, but Ben made it look easy. We unfortunately lost our home in the fires and needed to quickly get back on our feet. We were provided a daily email updates on what was on the market, given sound advice on the pros and cons of each property, and Ben even introduced me to a community in East Garrison that I never would have had on my radar. We are very happy with our purchase, excited to have a place to call home and thankful for Ben who walked us through the process."
-Devon V, Client
"I highly recommend working with Cory. With his help I was able to buy a home I love- I know I wouldn’t have gotten the house without him. He is tenacious and knowledgeable. He is also personable and good humored making it a joy to spend time with him."
-Rebecca, Client
"Ben Beesley and his team made the selling process painless. The were quick to respond to questions, efficient at supplying resources and kept us up to date during all the steps of selling a home. Thanks, Ben. My dad would be delighted!"
-Connie, Client
"Team Beesley found our dream home and we could not be more grateful for the stress-free lovely process! They were fantastic. They vetted each home that we expressed interest in, which saved us so much time. They were intentional about finding the right fit. The first home they showed us was a dream and the process was seamless. We are so thrilled and grateful for their time and help. Excellent communication, timely responses, and so much support through the entire process. Personal and professional, Team Beesley made buying a home stressless, enjoyable, and special."
-Mr. Buyer - Del Rey Oaks , Client
"You can’t go wrong choosing the Beesley team as realtors in the Carmel/Monterey real estate market. Ben and Shannon initially impressed us with their openness, confidence, and overall energy. My husband and I sold my parents beautiful Carmel Valley Ranch townhouse and, since we are from out-of-state, we needed additional help coordinating long distance disposal of property, clean-up, and contractor repairs. We left the house preparation and sales effort completely in their hands. Shannon and Ben together advised us on the business side of California real estate buying and selling. Shannon was project manager over the job of preparing the house for sale. Shannon tackled every challenge professionally and maintained almost daily communication with us throughout the process. She hired local contractors as needed. Shannon also created perfectly-staged indoor and outdoor environments that resulted in wonderful photographs. If I could give them 100 stars, I would."
-Carol S., Client
"I can't recommend Ben and Shannon highly enough! They sold my home in record time and helped me receive a great offer. Their recommendations and professionalism were outstanding. Team Beesley embodies everything a real estate team should with their exceptionally high quality of customer service."
-Mary W., Client
"Shannon is positive, informative, and helpful! I bought my property during Covid and I can’t imagine going through the process without Shannon and Team Beesley. Buying a new home can be stressful especially for someone who has never done it before but Shannon kept things positive and on track. Shannon was particularly helpful during the close of escrow, she explained how the process would go and was right there to guide me and answer questions during the final days and hours. When I had questions Shannon did a great job in promptly responding to me and helping answer my questions. I really cant say enough great things about working with Shannon and Team Beesley!"
-Lorraine, Client
"Shannon is such a pro: she responds quickly to all inquiries (no question is too small!), she is super knowledgeable about the entire buying/selling process, and she was great to work with. Her entire team is completely on top of it; you can trust that every detail will be taken care of and nothing will fall through the cracks."
-Brandi, Client
"Loved working with Ben and his team. They were responsive and always willing to answer question. They gave a suggestions and advise on things we could to help with the sale, but he always inquired about our feelings/thought first, before giving his advise. His suggestions were concise but always framed in a positive low pressure manner. "
-gdmccluskey, Client
"Shannon and her team were so great to work with. She explained everything along the way, and when it came to negotiations, she was on top of it. We always felt we were in good hands. Very honest and up front. Also very knowledgable on all the surrounding areas in Monterey. We were moving from Southern CA to Monterey and were looking for houses in and around Seaside, including Salinas. Whenever we asked about the house and area, she was able to provide us with her thoughts and tips about the neighborhood, as well as the market values. We just loved working with her. Our daughter and son-in-law were the ones who recommended Shannon to us, as Shannon also helped them buy their first home. Her and her team are wonderful."
-beppe93955, Client
"I met Shannon at an open house and was immediately impressed by her energy and enthusiasm. I told her that I was interested in selling my house. I met with her a few days later, and she presented a marketing plan involving open houses and social media. I used her as my listing agent and received an asking price offer within a week. Shannon was always available to assist and answer questions the entire time. She did a great job for me."
-Jeff B. , Client
"Shannon expertly guided me through the process of buying my new home. Her negotiating skills made it possible for me to ultimately become the winning bid for a property that was highly sought after and was in the market for only 48 hours. Her professional calm and positive attitude enabled me to stay focused as we were negotiating our offer. In spite of the demand, our purchase price was still below asking - a testament to Shannon's strategic acumen. Throughout the escrow period, she was attentive to my needs, highly responsive and a total pro. Most of all, Shannon was always extremely kind and quite wonderful! I highly recommend her."
-Nina R. , Client
"I've sold six homes in my lifetime and leased I-1 Light Industrial real estate for over thirty-five years. Needless to say I've dealt with many residential and commercial real estate agents. Ben Beesley is by far the most knowledgeable, hardest working, polite, personable and intelligent real estate agent that I have met in my life. Anyone who does not hire Ben would be making an absolutely (not huge but ) YUGE mistake!! I can't say enough good things about him except for this -- hire Ben without reservation!"
-John, Client
"Shannon helped us in our search for our first home and we couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. She guided us easily through confusing details and was there whenever we had questions. She made a stressful process fun and simple. We couldn’t recommend her more for anyone looking to buy or sell. Simply great!"
-Dana C. , Client
"We were looking for a house in or near Monterey CA. A friend recommended Ben. We are soooooo glad we found Ben and his team. They helped us every step of the way and went far beyond being our realtors, they were our people on the ground. We needed some help finding the best area and Ben, a long-time resident seemed to know every street and district. We looked for over 6 months and the Team Beesley never faltered. They just worked hard and got it done. Even after the sale was complete, Ben's team helped us through getting furniture delivered when we were out of town and could not be there. We are now happy residents of Pacific Grove and we have Ben, Shannon and the team to thank for that."
-Fred W. , Client
"Shannon was wonderful from start to finish, helping do a lot to generate interest even before the house hit the market. We were in contract just over a week after we listed! I would not hesitate to recommend Shannon and her team."
-Jessica R. , Client
"It was such a pleasure to work with Shannon. She never left any questions unanswered and always responded promptly. I would highly recommend her. We thank her for the time and effort she spent with us, making our first experience less stressful! Shannon is a hardworking person who helps her clients to get results with their desired home."
-Herair A., Client
"Ben is wonderful to work with. He is extremely responsive and ensures you are given weekly updates when your property is up for sale. He is flexible and proactive. A true professional!"
-Janine C. , Client
"Working with Cory Otterness was an excellent real estate buying experience. From the first phone call to him giving me a celebratory pie on my move in to my newly purchased condo just over 3 weeks later, he exceeded expectations and was all we could hope for in a buyers agent. From answering the first questions on a phone call, it was obvious that he was intuitively putting together a picture of our needs and wants. Within the week he put together a day of showings. During the showing process he offered excellent knowledge about real estate in the area and local information. Cory has the extremely rare personality combination of being incredibly patient. The bottom line is that Cory is a great and trustworthy person who understands people and business, and working with him is the best asset anyone could have in the home buying process in the Monterey area."
-Patricia, Client
"Ben and Shannon are wonderful real estate professionals. They are very attentive, honest and went above and beyond to help us get the best deal. Loved doing business with them."
-Stella, Client
"Shannon was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is very knowledgeable and answered every question with reassurance and detail, and I had a lot of questions as a first time seller. She gave great advice and helped me receive 6 offers in less than week and closed above asking. She Shannon is a hard worker and her team made selling my condo very easy. She has all the qualities you want in an agent. Many Thanks to Shannon and I can’t wait to work with her again as a buyer!"
-Erin O., Client
"Ben and Team Beesley really take care of their clients and help to make what is an important and can be a very stressful time not stressful. They have your back and are always quick to respond to any questions that may arise. They more than know what they are doing. We highly recommend with great confidence, Ben and Team Beesley to be there for you in the process of selling or buying your home."
-Claudia L., Client
"We highly recommend Ben Beesley and his team. We purchased a home in Dec. 2020, during the height of COVID. Ben did a great job in showing us homes and representing us when we chose a home to make an offer on. We were pleased with the process start to finish and are very happy with our new home. Ben also has been helpful connecting us with service people and questions about our new community."
-Rachel G. , Client
"Ben and Shannon were amazing in helping us to sell our home in Carmel-By-Sea. Once the listing agreement was signed, they had all the inspections, staging and marketing ready and completed in just 10 days, like a well oiled machine. We relied on them for most of the heavy-lifting to get the house ready since we primarily live almost two hours away. Our house was in contract the first weekend and closed very shortly after. The entire transaction was so smooth and they helped us navigate through some unexpected items which came up. The most impressive is that they were extremely responsive to any inquiries or questions. We would recommend their team without reservation."
-Rico H. , Client
"Ben, Shannon and the entire Team Beesley are totally top notch! They know the market inside and out, and knew how to position my home to reach the right buyers. Nothing like having a bidding war to walk away feeling good about the outcome. They listen, are responsive and smart. They waste no time and love people. The best! "
-Anne Coffey, Client
"Over my lifetime I have bought and sold over 25 properties, most recently being represented by Team Beesley. Compared to my prior agents, they stand out as being exemplary in all aspects of the transaction. Their negotiating skills were honest and effective, as was their follow through of a complicated closing. Especially helpful was their list of services and suppliers for the inevitable repairs and changes all buyers and sellers want to have done. I enthusiastically, and without reservation, recommend Team Beesley to make your real estate experience seamless and rewarding."
-dhafleigh, Client
"We met Ben through our Keller Williams agent in Los Angeles, we were looking for a second home in Carmel. Ben met with us, listened to us, showed us properties that were in our range of interest, and never gave us the impression that we were a bother or distraction. He was always there for us with knowledge of the market, restaurant recommendations, whatever we needed. Honest and authentic. He has lived here all his life so his local knowledge runs very deep."
-John P., Client
"Ben and Shannon with Keller Williams both provided me with excellent client service. They were knowledgeable about the real estate on the Monterey Peninsula and prompt at returning my phone calls and emails. Whenever I had questions about a property or needed information throughout the escrow process, Ben and Shannon got the answers I needed in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend them to my friends and other people when considering buying or selling a house."
-Jennifer R. , Client
"Shannon is a superb real estate agent! She and the Keller Williams Team were incredibly attentive, detail-oriented, and easy to work with. They handled every part of the selling process and sold my apartment in 24 hours!! I would definitely recommend working with Shannon if you're looking to get your house sold, or if you're looking for your new home. She's amazing!"
-Cassandra M. , Client
"We recently worked with Shannon to purchase my family's first home in Monterey, CA, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From start to finish, she was knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly helpful. We never felt rushed or pressured, and always felt that our best interests were being taken into consideration. Thank you so much, Shannon, for all of your hard work and for helping us find our perfect home!"
-zuser20140227212540869, Client
"Ben and Shannon have been great showing us the area and getting our house in Carmel Valley. They also supported us with critical help after the purchase. I couldn't recommend anyone else if you are into buying a home in the Carmel/Monterey area"
-Sabby D. , Client
"Shannon and Team Beesley were amazing from beginning to end. She was honest, knowledgeable, and my wife and I truly felt that Shannon had our best interests at heart. As first time home buyers, it can be a scary experience, but Shannon was amazing at guiding us through the process from beginning to end, and beyond!! I would recommend Shannon for anyone looking to buy a house; she’s the best!"
-Sam P. , Client
"There’s so many things to say and feel when you’re going through the home buying process. I can’t count the uncertainties, the sleepless nights and exciting days of checking new properties until we found out perfect one.
This was my wife and I very first home purchase after 13 years of marriage, and we knew that this was the time to finally do it. Cory made this entire process seamless. Most of the time, I forgot I was purchasing a home, because Cory stayed on top of everything for us. I can’t count the emails and text messages and phone calls he sent us to make sure we were fully informed of our decisions, making sure all of our needs were met and that we were always happy during the entire process. I’d recommend Cory not just because of these things, but because he really does care about you and your well-being. A real customers advocate and superhero in realtors clothing.
As long as Cory is selling homes, I’ll be telling everyone I know to give him a call. Thank you for everythin"
-Jason P., Client
"Ben Beesley and his team are the BEST! Their professionalism, expertise, commitment and passion was evident from the moment we first met. We always felt that Ben had our best interest in mind and he worked diligently to make sure that everything was in order and our purchase was the best investment for our needs. They provided us with daily updates and assisted us along the way as we navigated through the home buying process during COVID 19 which brought new rules and extra forms! Not only did we purchase our new home with the help of Ben and team, we also sold our other residence in record time with his help too. We strongly recommend Ben and team!"
-Jennifer D. , Client
"Ben, Shannon, and other members of Team Beesley, were fantastic to work with! We had a unique home to sell and they did an awesome job of advertising to pull in potential buyers -- we had interest in our home from across the country. Team Beesley was creative and proactive. They worked closely with us throughout the process, and gave us helpful advice at every step along the way. We were very happy with their availability and their local knowledge, experience, and expertise. We confidently recommend Ben, Shannon, and all of Team Beesley for your real estate needs! "
-suz7295, Client
"Ben Beesley and his team lived up to our expectation and even more. Two years ago we moved out of the area and decided to put our house at Seaside Highlands for sale, we interviewed multiple realestate agents to determine who would be best in representing us and it wasn't a hard choice upon meeting Ben. However, market conditions at the time were not fully in our favor and upon his advise, we decided to rent out our property. Lately, and just before a five -year arm interest rate ended on our mortgage, and with improving real estate market conditions, Ben through his wisdom and guidance managed to expeditiously negotiate and secure a favorable sales price for our house in a prompt and organized manner. The sale process of our home and Escrow dealings went smoothly through electronic documentation, even though both of us (my husband and I) were thousands of miles apart. Thanks to Team Beesley for an unsurpassed sales experience!"
-Rola G. , Client
"Shannon & Ben were fabulous on every level. I met Shannon several years ago when prices were low and inventory was high. With the pandemic, everything changed. We must have seen 50 houses in 2 years during a very tough market. She also showed me many homes remotely when I was out of the country. She never gave up on me, and always had a positive attitude. Eventually we found a great house and with Ben's help we clinched the deal in one weekend. I can not say enough about Shannon and Team Beesley. I give them 10 stars!!"
