Willett Team Real Estate

Ben is a life long resident of Rhode Island; Born in Newport Hospital and a graduate of Portsmouth High School. His love for real estate started at a young age watching his mother, an architect, and father, a landscape architect, build their home and careers in the Ocean State. Their knowledge and love for the industry rubbed off on Ben. His passion for architecture and real estate combined with an intimate knowledge of the area and strong relationships forged over the past 24 years on Aquidneck Island make him a trusted local expert. Previously Ben attended Marist College where he graduated with a degree in Business and played D1 lacrosse. Among his greatest accomplishments were being named a team Captain, winning the conference championship and playing in the NCAA tournament his senior year. That experience helped Ben develop the skills and attributes of a strong leader which he uses on a daily basis as a realtor (-clear communication - trust and respect - going above and beyond to get the job done). Before obtaining his license to sell real estate in Rhode Island as well as Massachusetts, Ben worked as a Finance Manager for the Bernardi Auto Group. He a attributes his ability to effectively negotiate real estate transactions and quickly move deals from active to sold, to his experience as a top producing finance manager. Currently Ben is an active member of the community coaching lacrosse for his alma mater, Portsmouth High School, and RI youth programs. For years he has donated and volunteered his time to the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation aimed at improving the quality of life for children battling pediatric brain tumors and other childhood cancers. Ben takes pride in working in his community to help others achieve their goals in life, business, and sports.
