CARING & ATTENTIVE
We’re purposefully smaller, so we can deliver a more personal, caring customer experience.
Jake Benjamins
Founder & Broker
In 1999, I sold my 35+ agent brokerage to a local corporate shop to start a much smaller, more responsive boutique brokerage. In 2001, that dream became a reality when I founded Benjamins Realty Inc.
Today, I am joined by my two sons and partners, Mark and John Benjamins and our associate realtors, Mel and Angela. Together, we combine experience, technical savvy, and intimate knowledge of the local market. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more dynamic skill set and we’re prepared to back it up.
Meet The Team
Mark Benjamins
Partner & Broker
After purchasing my first investment property in downtown Kitchener at the age of 19, I quickly realized I had a property and a career. Now as a broker, investor and partner, I enjoy putting that extensive experience to work in the residential, development, and multi-family real estate markets.
John Benjamins
Partner & Marketing
In 2013, I sold my contracting business in Langley, BC and decided to move back to my hometown in Kitchener with my wife Sarah and begin actively selling real estate while also handling the marketing operations for our brokerage. I enjoy crafting custom marketing presentations for each of our listings while working closely with our clients in the buying and selling of property.
Mel Van Rootselar
Sales Representative & Brokerage Associate
Growing up as part of a multigenerational retail business, customer service has always been a top priority. The importance of meeting the needs, desires and expectations of clients remains my passion. In owning and renovating my own homes, I have enjoyed looking at the big picture of projects and look forward to helping you meet your goals!
Angela Freiburger
Sales Representative & Brokerage Associate
I have been passionate about homes since I was a young child. Over the years, my mom and I attended countless open houses. As I went through the homes, I always tried to talk my parents into moving (I’m a natural realtor). I will never forget the excitement of imagining new possibilities. I aim to help people find joy in a new home by listening carefully to their needs and desires. My approach is customer-centred and discovering what it is for you that makes a house a home.
