Joining Ben’s team has been the best decision I’ve made! Ben is a true leader, he can see an individuals strength and weaknesses and inspires those around him to reach goals they may not even know they were capable of. It is such a privilege to be in an environment where there is enormous support and unity between the team members, as well as respect for one another. We all want to see each other succeed, not only in business but in all aspects of our lives. It’s also important to have accountability as an agent, and this team certainly provides this. No agent is left to fetch for themselves. What sets this team apart from others in the industry, is it’s high focus on building real relationships with clients before, during and after a transaction.

NextHome Willamette Realty Group has given me some of my life back. Through the use of their systems, I have been able to focus on growing business by creating a steady stream of referrals from my friends and family. I am now able to spend more time with my family and my hobbies. Real Estate is once again what I thought it could be.
- Susan
I love being an agent with NextHome Willamette Realty! Since I’ve joined the team I’ve learned so much. It was a very collaborative group and has provided me with hands-on training, which caused my business to really grow. Anytime I have a question, someone is just an email or a phone call away.
- Chad
I made the right choice in joining NextHome Willamette Realty. The young and progressive realty company has a young, inspired management team leading the way with cutting edge tools and an incredibly inclusive culture.
- William
I have been working as a Realtor for almost over 5 years. Getting hired on with the NextHome Willamette Realty team was truly the best experience ever. Not only do I have the support of such a great team, but I’m working with a great family. There is no other company I would want to be a part of or associate myself with.
- Kevan
This team is everything I was hoping and expecting to find when I began my career in real estate. I knew I wanted to be surrounded by nurturing, caring people who could help me learn and grow in a completely new field. Unfortunately, these characteristics were harder to find than I had expected. Through good fortune, a friend connected me with Ben. From the very first conversation forward, I knew without a doubt that this team is where I belong. Their focus on personal relationships goes above and beyond any kind of sales pitch I encountered in my previous real estate experiences. Seeing how my new team members successfully create a work/life balance while caring for their clients sealed the deal. As a member of this team I know that I am valued for more than the amount of money I generate for a company. Like the kids say these days, as a member of this team I am truly “living my best life” and helping others do the same!

Our Fees
Our Broker Fee Structure is as simple as you can get. We offer two models: In either case, there are no surprises.
NextHome Willamette Realty is the only brokerage in the market that offers agents the option to change plans every six months. Why change plans? This flexibility allows our brokers to benefit from seasonal fluctuations or changes in their business. In both compensation models, we INCLUDE products and features that other brokerages charge for or don’t offer at all.
The old brokerage models are outdated and often leave agents disappointed, frustrated, and wondering what they are paying for with their current broker. When we created NextHome Willamette Realty, we set out to provide more value by providing modern and efficient tools, technology, and support at a very affordable price.
