An ex-oil field executive and University of Texas business graduate, Ben’s 33 years as a real estate broker (Houston/San Miguel) includes finely- honed pro-forma skills necessary in assessing commercial property opportunities-and realistic residential valuations-which aided him to become the sole broker for both buyer and seller of the 5-star boutique Hotel Matilda.
