Raving Reviews

If I could give Mike & Tina a million golden stars, I would! I unexpectedly lost my mom, I was completely overwhelmed with her home and belongings. Mike & Tina guided me through every step of the way. They’re both incredible personal, patient, supportive & professional. They helped me above & beyond what I expected. I couldn’t have gone through this extremely emotional & unpredictable time without them. I highly recommend Mike & Tina for your Real Estate needs.

Working with Mike and Tina to sell our home was a great experience for us. When we met Mike we were instantly put at ease and knew we had selected the right people to work with. Mike let us know step by step how things would go and Tina sent us all the necessary documents, had photos of the house taken and created the listing. Mike regularly kept us up to date and thoroughly reviewed the offers with us. In the end we sold our home for a great price and everything went very smoothly, exactly as Mike and Tina said it would.

Mike Benton was my family’s realtor and helped us buy a home in Crofton, MD. Through it all he was very communicative, attentive, and respectful towards our desires. Importantly, he helped us by connecting us with a colleague with a Virginia license when we decided to look at a few homes in Virginia (he has since completed his Virginia license). He also helped by mowing our new lawn after our closing since the home was empty for a few weeks. 5/5 stars!

The Mike Benton Team are truly professional realtors who absolutely support their customers throughout the entire process. Whether it be selling a home like mine or buying one this is the team for you. They have many local connections and can help in many different aspects of the process. I needed a landscaper and a housekeeper, and The Benton team was able to assist me with finding one of whom both did an excellent job. They also kept me on track with meeting deadlines and completing the necessary paperwork throughout the entire process. The advertisement of my property was outstanding. I believe that is what brought the attention to my property it needed to sell my home at above asking price and within a month of going on the market. I cannot thank the Benton Team enough! Thanks Mike and Tina!!!!!

I had a commercial C6 zoned building in Virginia that I had owned for over 30 years, and was just ready to retire and sell it. I contacted Mike and Tina Benton from Hometown Realty to help with the process. I can't tell you how glad I am that I usedt thier services. From start to finish, they were great! They kept on top of things, and I was given updates on a regular basis, and they helped me through the process from start to finish. I couldn't be happier with the results of my transaction with them. I would recommend them highly for your sales needs! They were fantastic!

Mike and Tina were amazing they helped my mom sell and buy her house and now they’ve helped us find ours. It was a long and painful road, but they were patient and helped us each step of the way. They were truly amazing!

Mike was referred to me & I'm so glad he was. I was looking for help with an estate property because I live too far away. I felt very comfortable with him immediately. He's very responsive & personable, professional when necessary but also funny & very down to earth. I never spoke to Tina but she did the background work. My attorney even asked where I found him because she enjoyed dealing with him. I really appreciate them making a Not so enjoyable situation, Enjoyable and taking some of the stress away from me.

Mike and Tina are amazing!!! They helped us find the perfect home just in time for our little one to make his grand appearance! They walk you through everything you need to know, show houses in a timely manner, and give great advice & references to lenders and inspection companies! We will be using them again in the future!

Mike & Tina Benton were fabulous through our journey of preparing our house to go to market. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and encouraging. It took my husband and I nearly a year to get the house market ready and several times I was ready to just be finished with the process. Mike and Tina kept us focused and when the house finally went on the market, it was under contract in less than a week. Great Job and definitely recommend the The Mike Benton Team.

Don’t hesitate to hire this team! We have worked with SO many realtors in the past and yes, others can get the job done but this team goes above and BEYOND during every aspect of the sale process. It got rough for us and they got in the trenches WITH us and helped us negotiate better offers and retain more of our money at settlement!Real estate can be a shady business you HAVE to choose a team you can trust with your money! 100 percent recommend Mike and Tina!

I can’t say enough good about Mike and Tina Benton. They have always been honest straightforward and put their customers first. I’ve no Mike for a long time and Tina. They have sold me two houses in my life my parents one house and my son another. We all love our homes. When we bought our house, Mike fought for us and was very honest. Tina behind-the-scenes does all the paperwork and make sure everything is done properly. You can always count on them When needed. I highly recommend them more than anyone..

Mike and Tina are incredible at what they do. They helped us find the right house during a time when there weren’t a lot of options, but they always had something new to show us! As first time home buyers we were very uneducated and asked lots of questions. They were always happy to answer and walked us through every step. They’re knowledgeable, experienced, and kind! We highly recommend Mike and Tina Benton.

Mike and his team were an unbelievable asset for my elderly parents selling their house. They went above and beyond to guide them through the process. Living out of state, we could not have done it without them!
