About Ben Puccetti | Honolulu Real Estate Expert

Ben Puccetti

“Integrity, ingenuity, and communication”, would be the top qualities of a Realtor®, according to Ben. For someone who’s sold tens of millions of dollars of real estate in just a few short years since joining the industry, it’s clear that Ben lives and implements these values in his business practice.

Ben didn’t grow up living in Hawaii neighborhoods like the ones he’s now so familiar with. His Midwest upbringing and military family saw him moving around the country often as a child. These beginnings gave him a solid foundation of not only work ethic, but what it means to care about people and their unique situations in life. Early on, Ben was inclined to work hard; landing his first job at 14 years old and saving up money to purchase his first car, a sweet 1987 Cutlass Supreme. Later he headed to college at Missouri State University and eventually landed in Hawaii in 2010, where he graduated from Hawaii Pacific University. After working locally for several years in tourism and technology with a Fortune 500 company, Ben shifted gears and decided to pursue real estate; an industry that allowed him to combine his knowledge & love of the Hawaiian Islands with his passion for consulting and serving others.

Building relationships, connecting with people, and seeking guidance from a valuable mentor led Ben to become a top-producing agent in a crowded field. Ben believes a Realtor® in 2022 should be more helpful than an application on your phone. They should be skilled in negotiations and well-versed in real estate contracts. They should know each neighborhood, what condo buildings have issues, what future developments may block your view, and should be entirely plugged in for the local market.

Ben understands that every real estate transaction is a very personal one. He sets himself apart with his deep market knowledge, stellar communication skills, and ability to formulate a custom game plan that helps people achieve their goals. There is no secret to success, it’s hard work and effort. Ben helps his buyer-clients find and secure the best homes that fit their dreams and budget in one of the country's most expensive and competitive real estate markets. For seller clients, Ben’s dedication to quickly and efficiently save both time and money on the home sale has yielded proven results for countless home sellers. In his free time, Ben enjoys bodysurfing on his local surf break, hiking, and enjoying quality time with his son Julian and his wife Christiana, as well as his sulcata tortoise and his dog, Korra.

Ben was an absolute delight to work with. He was always on top of things, whether it was any tiny question we had to look for new houses every weekend. When there were issues, he did everything he could to get the outcome we wanted. He honestly just blew me away with how amazing he was in our home-buying process. I would recommend going with Ben Puccetti to anyone looking for a home in Hawaii! Thank you, Ben!

Ben is proactive. His advice and assistance are spots on, and he helped us navigate through a rather complex relocation process with ease. His warm personality and communication style immediately gained our trust. He treated us like his own family and went the extra mile in searching for a boarding service for our dog when we did not know where to start. We are certain Ben will always try his best to meet and exceed his clients’ real estate/relocation needs.

Ben represented us as buyers, in a recent sale, as the Pandemic started. He is one of those rare people who actually care about you - through the entire process no matter how bumpy and even uncharted. He was the calming voice and guiding light throughout. Recommended many financing sources and other great contacts. We have bought and sold several properties over the years, Ben is the first Realtor® I would call a friend. He is hard-working yet gentle in his bridging the gaps that arise in a sale. Thanks, Ben!

Can't give Ben enough praise. He was able to sell my home for higher than asking, he did 2 private showings before the first open house, and we were in escrow before the first open house! I think most realtors® would not even do an open house since we were already in escrow, but Ben was there all afternoon on Sunday getting us backup offers. Trusted him so much that we even purchased our next home with him too! The cherry on top is that 6 months later, he emailed me the tax forms I would need for write-offs for tax season! Mahalo, Ben!

Hawaii Life Realty provided an outstanding Real Estate agent for Oahu Ben Puccetti. Ben worked diligently to find the wishlist home we desired and could afford. After being outbid on two excellent properties, we became concerned that we wouldn’t be able to afford what was available. Ben gave us excellent advice and told us not to settle, he would find us the home we wanted. Within two more weeks with his knowledge of the market, assistance, and professionalism, he closed a deal for us in the area we wanted to live, in and could afford, with all our wants and wishes. Don’t settle. Call Ben.

I can't believe it has been a year since Ben helped us find ours forever home in paradise. Totally recommend Ben Puccetti to anyone looking for a home on Oahu. I started my house hunt from the mainland and Ben went the extra mile to keep me up to date, communicate with me about prospects, and was a valuable resource to learn about Island life. His service didn't stop at the home closing. Ben reached out to me months after I bought my home in Mililani to remind me of Hawaii resident tax benefits that saved me thousands of dollars off my real property tax bill. I trust and highly recommend Ben and Hawaii Life.

It was a great experience to work with Ben Puccetti. I contacted the Hawaii Life office to get an agent to work with me to find a property and they assigned me to Ben. I had a chance to speak to Ben 1 month prior to my arrival to Honolulu and I gave him my "must have" list, "what's great to have" list, and my price point. He was very eager to help and showed me two properties through Zoom and got a sense of what was important to our family. I think it's important to find an agent that listened to what your family needs and does not find the top of the budget property to show you. Yes, we understand commissions are important but we feel like Ben actu...

I have recently become a first-time homebuyer and this was all possible with the help of Ben Puccetti. I had the privilege to work with him and am very happy that Ben was the person to guide me through this. I dove into this with a lot of questions and uncertainty. Ben has such an amazing welcoming personality. He has the gift of making people feel comfortable and respected. I mean, he was there every step of the way and I trusted immediately in him to tackle whatever obstacles came our way. If you are looking to sell or buy, you need someone that is proactive. Everything about this business comes with deadlines that require immediate attention. Ben...
