Your Atlantic Station Real Estate Agent
Meet Ben Hirsh
As Broker of Hirsh Real Estate Specialists, Ben wears many hats, enthusiastically taking on the roles of consultant, analyst, networker, negotiator, and, of course, Specialist! With his sincere dedication to his clients, and his unyielding determination to help others succeed in their real estate endeavors, it’s no surprise that during his second year in real estate, he quickly rose through the ranks to become the highest producing agent in his office - and consequently in the State of Georgia in that office – surpassing more than three hundred agents.
“Those early years helped shape my ideas about the kind of company I wanted to run. I had great mentors (and still do) who frequently reminded me to strive to go the extra mile, and to serve my customers with the highest level of care and expertise. I soon knew that I wanted to take my business to the next level.”
Focus on Quality Hits Home
Ben’s visionary focus is unique. A true “quality over quantity” culture is accomplished by managing a team of agents who specialize in a specific area. The Specialists, who also live within their area of expertise, are knowledgeable about everything within their geographic area or lifestyle niche.
The real estate brokerage firm focuses on the clients’ every need. Thanks to our many loyal clients, an exemplary reputation and a solid foundation, the Specialists plan on many more successful decades of service to their clients.
Born and raised in Atlanta, Ben’s knowledge encompasses a large geographic area. As a resident of Buckhead, he is extremely knowledgeable about the Intown market, and he is eager to share his expertise in an effort to help you with your home buying and selling goals.
Technology is Key
Over 80% of today’s home buyers and sellers utilize the Internet to do buying and selling research, so it’s a good thing that Ben’s other passion is technology! The Hirsh Real Estate Specialists’ office is virtually paperless (pun intended). A paperless real estate office, you ask? Yes, it’s true!
For buyers, Hirsh Real Estate Specialists’ specialized websites offer the most dynamic search capabilities and comprehensive results of any public real estate site. For sellers, it is a significant advantage that our sites are consistently ranked at the top of the results page in search engine searches. This means so many more opportunities for your listing to be viewed locally, nationally and around the world!
Atlanta and Beyond
Speaking of around the world, Ben is an avid traveler who has - so far - explored more than 40 countries! One of his life goals is to visit all 193 countries in the world. His most memorable experiences include his climb to Mt Everest’s Base Camp, exploring volcanoes in Indonesia, driving through the jungles and deserts of the southern part of Africa, climbing the Great Pyramid, driving across the continent of Australia, and scuba diving in many of the earth’s deep seas.
One of his hobbies is to study the real estate markets in countries around the world. Learning the diverse ways that many cultures value and exchange real estate has given him many new ideas and a greater understanding of the universal underlying human nature that drives our local real estate market.
A family man, Ben is very close to his parents and siblings, and he and his lovely wife, Lauren, are proud new parents of a beautiful baby. They place great value on Christianity; the fundamental structure of his brokerage is derived from its teachings. He firmly believes in and lives by The Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.”
Meet Michelle Legan
As the Director of Operations, Michelle brings professional experience in advertising, marketing, technology and real estate to the team. She manages the listings, contracts, leads, marketing, and accounts payable. She is an instrumental resource for both clients and agents seeking information about listings, and she helps to ensure a smooth and pleasant buying and selling process from the first contact to the time keys are exchanged.
Pay It Forward
After graduating from Ohio University’s E.W. Scripps School of Journalism, her career brought her to Cincinnati, San Francisco and Atlanta, where she now calls Buckhead home. An avid reader, she has been the host of a radio program for GARRS, which brings the written word to the blind and visually impaired, for over 9 years. She loves animals, especially her 5 year old Whippet, Zorro, so she enjoys her work with Whippet Rescue & Placement. She also organizes an annual donation drive for Fulton County Animal Services. Don’t toss those old sheets and blankets, donate them!
The Home Team
An entrepreneur at heart, she thrives on the fast-paced environment of the Buckhead office, and she especially appreciates the integrity, dedication, entrepreneurial spirit and success of Ben Hirsh and the entire Hirsh Real Estate Specialists team! “Even in this tough market, Hirsh Real Estate Specialists is thriving, so that speaks for itself!"
