Every home has a story—and it deserves to be told beautifully. We carefully craft each word to captivate potential buyers and spark anticipation, creating a sense of curiosity that sets your property apart. Because visuals matter as much as language, every Ben Ganje + Partners listing is professionally photographed and filmed by trusted creatives with an instinctive eye for style and detail. Powerful imagery paired with compelling copy engages buyers and inspires action. Our goal is simple: to use every medium available to attract the right buyers and deliver exceptional results.
Working with the best in the business, we hire professional photographers to capture the right images that best represent your home. These photos are used in our multi-media approach to effectively market and sell your property on hundreds of our network websites as well as printed pieces.
With properties beginning to be sold unseen through the increased use of video, this is the new “curb appeal.” Using state of the art technology, we partner with the best in the industry to flawlessly execute this piece featuring your home and telling its story.
Every single listing gets a custom tech-forward 3D Matterport tour experience. This allows potential buyers to virtually immerse themselves and explore their potential new home before they ever step foot inside.
Our elite production agency creates custom videos tailored to showcase your property to the fullest. Our drone property tours include aerial shots of the property and slow-motion 4K interior features recorded with industry-leading equipment.
A key marketing tool, we create substantial luxury print pieces that feature a combination of your beautifully photographed home and key selling points and features. These are effective tangible take-aways for qualified buyers.
Engage and captivate a broader audience with our targeted social media marketing campaigns. We leverage the power of popular platforms to showcase your property with compelling content, driving interest and attracting qualified buyers.
Showcasing your property with our strategic e-marketing campaigns, designed to maximize visibility and interest. Once your property is on the market, we expand our reach with e-blast campaigns targeting local REALTOR® boards, top Minnesota brokers, and elite Sotheby’s International Realty companies and brokers nationwide.
Targeted advertising, such as elegant postcards or custom mailable brochures, and email campaigns with visually striking content allow the listing to reach a curated audience who are already invested in the local luxury market. This targeted approach increases the likelihood of connecting with serious buyers who are familiar with the area and actively seeking upscale properties, which can ultimately lead to quicker sales and higher offers.
Maximize your property’s exposure with our comprehensive syndication services. We ensure your listing reaches potential buyers locally, nationally, and internationally through our extensive network and premier partnerships.
Home staging helps highlight a property’s best features and create a strong first impression for buyers. Thoughtful furniture placement and décor allow buyers to envision themselves in the space, often leading to more interest, faster sales, and stronger offers.
Restyling and decluttering create a clean, inviting space that feels open and move-in ready. Removing excess items and refreshing décor helps buyers focus on the home itself, making rooms appear larger and more appealing.

Landscaping enhances curb appeal and sets the tone before buyers ever step inside. A well-maintained exterior creates a welcoming first impression and signals that the home has been cared for.
Addressing mechanical repairs helps ensure the home functions smoothly and reduces buyer concerns. Well-maintained systems build trust, minimize inspection issues, and support a smoother transaction.
Fresh paint instantly refreshes a home and creates a clean, cohesive look. Neutral, updated colors brighten spaces, appeal to a wider range of buyers, and help the home feel move-in ready.
Putting your home on the market can be a stressful process, especially when you don’t know what to expect. Fortunately, with the help of Ben Ganje + Partners, you can smoothly complete the process. Following these steps will help you prepare so you can get organized and sell your home for the best price possible.
What do you want to accomplish with the sale of your home? Do you want to make a certain amount of money that you can put toward a larger or nicer home? Do you need to sell it as soon as possible to facilitate a move to a new city or area? Once you understand your needs, you can better craft your offer. For example, if you need to sell quickly, you might want to price your home lower than if your goal is to make a certain profit margin. Make sure you convey these needs to your team of real estate agents once you choose one so they can adjust your selling price accordingly.
Knowing how to price your home is one of the most important parts of the selling process. When you set a fair price in the beginning, you’ll get the most interest from other real estate agents and prospective buyers. Overpricing your home could lead to reduced interest, and underpricing leads to receiving less than what your home is worth. Working with a team of real estate agent is the best way to determine the right selling price for your home. A team of real estate agent with experience can determine what other comparable homes are selling for, evaluate the current market, and may even suggest a home appraisal.
If you’ve kept your home in showroom condition since you’ve lived in it, you’re in the minority of homeowners. Once you price your home, it’s time to start getting it ready to be shown to potential buyers. This includes getting rid of clutter, depersonalizing the space so that buyers can envision themselves in the space, making any small repairs, and doing a deep clean to make sure your home is in pristine condition.
We will develop a marketing strategy that is perfect for advertising your home. This involves listing the home and then driving the right people to that listing through social media campaigns, agent-to-agent referrals, traditional media, or SEO advertising. Our team creates a marketing campaign that aims to get the most possible traffic to your listing in the first three weeks after becoming a client.
Receiving an offer is an exciting part of the process, but it doesn’t mean the journey is over. We will evaluate each offer and make sure the party making the offer is prequalified or pre-approved by a mortgage lender and that their offer is acceptable to you. If the offer is too low, you can make a counter-offer or offer other ways to bridge the gap, such as covering some or all of the closing costs, making repairs, adjusting the move-in date, or leaving some appliances or fixtures for the new buyer.
Once we deem the offer is acceptable, we will review the proposed contract to make sure it’s all in order and includes the necessary components such as deposit amount, down payment, financing, inspection rights and repair allowances, contingencies, settlement date, and a list of fees and who will pay them. When both parties have agreed to the term, a final contract will be prepared by your team of real estate agents.
You have accepted an offer and are now very close to the end of your selling journey. But first, you and the buyer must make a list of what needs to be done before closing. In some cases, your home may need to be formally inspected, surveyed, and appraised. In other cases, major or minor repairs will need to be made before the house can close. We will head up efforts to develop and execute this list, get each action item paid for by the correct party, and make sure everything is in order by the closing date. A few days before the closing date, we will call the company closing the transaction to make sure everything is ready to go. If you haven’t done so already, you also need to make arrangements to move out of the home so the new buyer can take possession.
You’ve reached the last step in the seller’s process. When you close on a home you are selling, you are legally transferring ownership of the property to the new buyer. We will meet with the company closing the transaction to sign the final paperwork and go over any issues that have not yet been taken care of. During this time, you can also make plans with your team of real estate agents to handle final details such as canceling utilities, cable, and lawn or trash services, changing the name on accounts that the new owner is retaining and ensuring the new owner has instructions for all appliances that will remain in the home.
