Since 2005, Ben Bacal has been setting the standard for luxury real estate in Southern California. An accomplished top-producing agent with over $2 billion in sales, he has orchestrated the purchases of the most iconic residences in the world. Highly sought after for his industry expertise, he’s not only the go-to agent for celebrities such as Matt Damon, Ellen DeGeneres, and Madonna, but he has also masterminded deals for discerning buyers and sellers who require the utmost discretion. Born in Toronto, Canada, Ben moved to L.A. at 17 to pursue a degree in film and electronic arts at CSU Long Beach. After graduation, he began selling real estate as a way to finance his cinematic pursuits but quickly found it was his calling. He built his business the old-fashioned way—by knocking on doors. From the beginning, Ben has positioned himself on the cutting-edge of pragmatism, technology, and artistry—he was the first to use epic property videos and is currently a social media influencer with an extensive network.
