Great team approach with respect to offering different perspectives to the selling of our home. We appreciated the personal care in “looking after” the house as we are from out of town. Thanks Karen and Chuck!

We had a strawbale home that presented unique challenges. My partner and I appreciated the Bennett team's approach to the selling process, how they always listened to us, gave sound advice, and supported our sometimes unconventional choices. The team members were positive and responsive, they communicated well, and never pressured us, which made all the difference in this time of transition. Thank you Bennett Family!!

My partner and I found our dream home thanks to Karen, Chuck and their team. For weeks, they kindly and patiently supported us as we identified the type of property we were looking for in Nelson and the surrounding areas. They never pushed anything on us and genuinely had our best interest and needs at heart. We even received a beautiful welcome package in our new home. Highly recommend! Thanks for your help!

Chuck and the team were great to work with - despite us being located down under for the entirety of the process, Chuck handled the whole thing and got us a great result as well!

I used Bennett Family Real Estate to sell my house in Nelson BC. They did an outstanding job and the sale was successful. They took excellent photos and videos of the interior and exterior of the house and the grounds including an aerial view using a drone. This attracted a lot of interest and which was key to the attraction of potential buyers Karen and Chuck provided me with sound advise on the whole process and the establishment of a sale price. Their sage advice during negotiations was instrumental in the successful conclusion of the sale. I was extremely satisfied with the service that they provided and highly recommend them to anyone wanting to sell a house or property.

We recently sold our home that had been in our family for 60 years. We had been discussing selling for a few years with the idea of downsizing to a smaller home. Chuck, Karen, Carley, Dylan and Jen....the amazing Bennett Family Real Estate Team took just the best care of us throughout this transition. There was not one "blip!" Carley was very patient with us, showing us many homes around Nelson to help find the perfect place......and we did!! The whole time throughout the process we felt these wonderful, caring people, wrapped their arms around us and the result has been wonderful. Thank-you Bennett Family Real Estate from the bottom of our hearts! Sincerely Wayne and Rae Naka

Chuck and Karen were confident they would be able to sell our home quickly and for our asking price - they were right. We had multiple offers on our home and the team at Bennett Family Real Estate worked quite hard to negotiate the best outcome for us while providing us with constant updates throughout this period. After our house was sold they continued to assist us with many aspects of our the sales process in BC which we weren’t aware of as we had been living outside of Canada prior to this sale. We would recommend Bennett Family Real Estate to anyone.

It was an amazing experience working with Chuck and Karen they were knowledgeable, patient and were quick to respond to all my questions. They guided me during a very emotional and major transition of selling my mom's house with integrity and honesty.

It was a pleasure to work with the Bennett Real Estate team. From the very beginning, the communication and expectations were clear. From the listing photos, to the sales brochure, to the online marketing of our property, everything was polished and professional. We received weekly updates and the team was available at any time to answer our questions or discuss any concerns we had.

We are so happy with our decision to work with the Bennett’s to sell our home. They stepped us through the whole process and sold our house quickly! They were patient with us through the process of finding a new home and we never felt any pressure from them. I would 100% recommend them as realtors.

Thank you so much, Bennett Family Real Estate. I'm so grateful for your patience and understanding, and for the help you all gave me as a first-time home buyer. Carley is joyful, Dylan is personable, Chuck and Karen are both kind and skillful, and they were really knowledgeable and helpful in our navigation of the Kootenay real estate market. I'll never forget your kindness.

Listing my house in a challenging market, I really appreciated the local knowledge and advice the Bennett family provided. Having left the area, and selling the house while not living in Nelson, the Bennetts’ many years of experience in the West Kootenay market proved invaluable. I would highly recommend Karen and Chuck to anyone looking to sell or buy in Nelson and surrounding area.

Working with the Bennett Family Real Estate was a great experience. From the beginning when Chuck and Karen came out to give me a market evaluation through to the completed offer - every step was at the highest professional level. They truly are a family business and every team member stepped up with their expertise to best show and sell my property. Lovely photos and videos, a colour brochure and great marketing tips all contributed to the best experience. Thank you Bennett Family Real Estate. You are the best!

I am very happily in my new home because of Bennet Family Real Estate. Carley patiently toured me through houses for weeks without feeling pressured to make an offer. Once I found my home, Chuck supported me through several back and forth negotiations. Access to the free moving truck was a huge bonus. Once I'd moved in, they sent a very thoughtful gift basket. I wouldn't hesitate to use Bennett's again

We thoroughly enjoyed working with the Bennett team to sell our farm. Our property was a bit unusual and the market was flat, so the process took a while. From start to finish, however, Karen and Chuck provided us with sensible advice, followed every lead, engaged thoughtfully with every potential buyer and kept us fully informed. The best part was their values-based approach – always transparent, ethical and fair. We could not have asked for better service.

Karen, Carley & Chuck helped us purchase our first home and we are grateful for their guidance throughout the process. They were always available to answer our questions, attend showings and update us on our offers. They were a valuable asset during negotiation and inspections, condition removal, signing, etc. They came recommended to us by a friend and we are happy to extend the same recommendation to others.

It is hard to put into words how much of a positive experience we had with the Bennetts in the process of purchasing a home in Nelson. We had been working with Karen since 2021 and it was only in 2024 after many house viewings, many offers that did not work out that we finally found our first family home. Never at any point did we feel rushed. We worked closely with Karen and Carley Naka who were both such a joy to work with. The whole team including Chuck worked very hard to help us find a house that we felt comfortable calling home. I can't imagine having gone through this process without them.
