James Keffer
Jean is a consummate Professional and without a doubt the best in the business. She chased down properties and did onsite evaluations for me until we find the right opportunity. Lisa coordinated all of the details. The whole thing was like clockwork. I wish every business interaction i had could be like this.
Jim Keffer
Jean came through for us again! In this crazy market it took a lot of tenacity to help us find the house we were looking for, but as usual Jean was on top of it providing continuous feedback on the options available and running out to inspect the properties for us because I was tied up. I can't thank her enough or recommend her more strongly!

We moved from California to Charlotte. Jean did most of the work for us as we were still in California. She even did the walk thru for us. Also as the house was in construction Jean would send us updates and pictures. Great agent.
Cody White
Jean and her team couldn’t have been better. When we need anything Real Estate related or anyone we know is in need of anything Real Estate, hands down no question it’s Jean that we will contact or refer. She’s the best of the best couldn’t have done it without her. Over 60 appointments the first open house day, tons of offers and Jean made sure ours was the winner. Thanks Jean we love our new home!

Richard & Debra Gawrych
Any move is unsettling and the entire experience with Allen Tate was excellent. Beginning with the endless searches for our new home and agent, Jean Benham, taking me around to look at countless houses to the entire back office team. Lisa Sweet was always responsive and professional. We even decided to use Allen Tate to broker insurance and mortgage services for us. I can say with full confidence that Allen Tate is a trustworthy and professional "One Stop Shop" when you are looking for a new home. And, I cannot say enough good things about agent, Jean Benham. The value-add service she provides; attention to detail and the personable confidence she gives with her extensive professional expertise is a great combination of a "family feel" with a highly professional approach. I highly recommend Jean Benham and the entire Allen Tate team.
Gary Oberlender
Jean is great! She is an experienced professional and it shows in everything she does. Jean is knowledgeable, level-minded, resourceful, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. I recommend her highly.
Bill and Norene Hart
We want to thank Jean Benham, our realtor extraordinaire, for all of her efforts in selling our home. She went far above and beyond the call of duty in helping us sell and with multiple offers. Jean is experienced, knowledgeable, efficient and professional. She gave us excellent advice and always had a big smile. We very much appreciated all of the many things she did for us. We knew we could count on her. Kudos, also, to Lisa Sweet her closing coordinator.
John and Donna Irwin
Jean, Thank you for all your help in the Selling of our home and the prepping before the Sale. Blessings!
Eden Court LLC
Jean has been helping us for the last 5 years to build a rental portfolio as we prepare for retirement. We have bought 10 single family homes with Jean's help. Her knowledge of the market, her expertise throughout the process, and her ability to negotiate after the properties have been inspected have helped us get great deals and avoid many pitfalls that less savvy realtors might miss. Jean is always upbeat and positive, a pleasure to work with.
Franklin Owings
I love working with Jean Benham. She has helped me buy and sell homes throughout the South Charlotte area for several years. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Her award winning reputation and knowledge of real estate are beyond what you get when you work with most real estate agents. I hope to stay in this new house for years but if anything changes my mind I will definitely be giving Jean a call.
Katherine S Horrigan
We were delighted with Jean's expertise in staging, marketing and selling our home. She's a straight shooter with a dedicated team who helped expedite the whole process. Communication with Jean and Lisa was always thorough and timely. Well done!
Scott Rogers
We were referred to Jean Benham through many friends that have used her. She is very familiar with Charlotte and the surrounding areas and neighborhoods. We were new to Charlotte and she was extremely patient, kind, knowledgeable, thorough, reliable, responsive, and we were very lucky to have her in this competitive market. Jean was available to us whenever we needed her. She was able to get us into homes the day we called her and many times hours after we spoke with her. Jean knows a ton about many of the neighborhoods and builders and was able to provide us with a ton of valuable information. She earned our trust very quickly. Jean was a partner with us through the whole process. We closed over a month ago and when we have any questions she is still a resource to us. When we ask her for referrals or any follow up she is quick to respond and happy to help. We can't say enough about our experience with Jean and her team. Jean is not only one of the best real estate agents, she is one of then best sales representatives I have ever worked with. She is always willing to go above and beyond for her clients. We would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent who is looking out for their best interests.
Amy Fergione
We LOVE working with Jean! She has so much experience and knowledge of the market. What she doesn't already know, she has so many contacts she finds out instantly. She has saved us from several disastrous potential purchases, and her execution during bidding and closing is flawless. Highly recommend Jean and her team!
John Horsley
We loved working with Jean. We worked with her for several weeks until we found the right home. She would go and check out the homes we were interested in even when we couldn’t make it in town to see them. When we found the home we wanted, it had several interested buyers and Jean made sure that we were the buyer that was chosen!
Stephen Alan McAdams
In a slowing market for higher priced homes, Jean was able to sell our home for an excellent price. She also found a new neighborhood for us that met all of our requirements, and we built a new home there. We have used Jean Benham for our real estate needs for 17 years. She always meets or exceeds our expectations. We were alway kept informed during the selling, purchasing and closing phases of our sell and buy. We highly recommend Jean Benham.

Jean is a go-getter and goes over and above

~~I know you will remember me (because that's another one of your talents), but, just in case, you sold our home on Kelly Woods Lane in Piper Glen a few years ago. Over several decades, Rob and I have bought and sold 7 homes and rented several apartments for which we'd used various agents, but the only real estate person who sticks out in my mind, is YOU -- and not because you were somewhat recent, but because you were (are) the BEST!!! So, I thought you would be amused to know that, because you left the lasting impression that you did, I plan to take real estate classes/exam at the end of this month and enter the wacky world of real estate!

Dennis and Brenda
Brenda and I want to thank you and Lisa for your continued professional support throughout the entire sales process. Jean you went the extra mile in all aspects of this sale, from the listing to rounding up professionals to make the townhouse improvements to guidance in the final negotiations leading to a successful sale. We can see why you have been the #1 agent in Piper Glen for 17 years running.
Bett and Dennis
This year Dennis and I are doing a lot of reflecting on our lives, places we have lived , experiences we have shared and people we have met along the way. We are so pleased that we lived in Charlotte. Dennis and I have worked with a lot of real estate teams. You and your team were the most outstanding, wonderful people to work with that we had experienced. We wish you the very best in 2015 Best Personal Regards,
Colleen and Jim

“We had the pleasure of working with Jean Benham and her team with the purchase of our home 14 years ago and the subsequent sale of the same house this past summer. The current real estate experience can be so overwhelming and she walked us through every step of the way. Jean is masterful in knowing how to make a house look its best. We feel her expertise as a home staging consultant and her professional photographer really made a difference in the quickness and price of our sale. Her knowledge of the local market and negotiating skills were key in ensuring that we received the best offer for our home, and we DID. We could not have asked for a better real estate team to facilitate the process of selling our home. She guided us through due diligence, inspection reports, home repairs, contractors and finally the closing. Every detail taken care of professionally and completely.This is a career for her, not a job. Her pricing advice and negotiation skills were spot on. Jean stayed with the sale advising us every step of the way through closing. We are extremely happy. Multiple offers, great advice, great results. Thank you Jean and team. Cheryl and Terry Ravenscraft, Raintree Country Club, Charlotte, NC
I would like to thank you for helping to sell our home. We selected you because we heard about your exceptional track record & knowledge. Obviously, we were not disappointed & are very happy with all that you did to help sell our home. If you ever need a reference, please use us, Maureen & Dennis
Gerry & Jan Cromwell
We had bought and sold 13 homes, so we thought we had seen everything. We were so thankful that we had Jim’s experience as a homebuilder to negotiate repairs prior to closing. And of course, we could not have been more pleased with Jean’s counseling and marketing

How to buy a home in 2022The year 2021 was challenging for buyers and sellers–low inventory and increasing demand drove home sales up and up. Nationally, the housing market is expected to cool just a bit, as more sellers plan to enter the scene. More locally, our...
