As a partner at The Blackstone Team, Ben embodies integrity, energy, and innovative service in every facet of his clients’ real estate journey. His early career included serving in the United States Coast Guard and upon Ben’s return to New England, he helped establish one of the most successful restaurants in Providence’s historic Federal Hill before making an industry leap into residential real estate.
Ben’s early success in real estate can be attributed to his tall commitment to education, having been coached by several acclaimed and distinguished industry professionals. Whether it’s guiding first time home buyers trying to build a foundation for their future, or assisting in a luxury market, Ben’s experience and knowledge in sales and client satisfaction, combined with his understanding of the Rhode Island market and synergistic spirit make him and The Blackstone Team the ideal choice. Ben was born and raised in the Gaspee neighborhood of Warwick and attended Pilgrim High School. His family has long- standing roots in the community as well–his grandfather having owned and operated the Village Laundromat & several cleaning services in Pawtuxet Village.
Ben spent his summers on Wakefield Pond in Northern Rhode Island and there he gained an instant attachment to the wonder and beauty that each season brings to the Ocean State. Currently, Ben lives in a multi-family house in the Elmhurst neighborhood of Providence–a sound investment he believes first-time and/or millennial buyers should consider as an inaugural real estate step.
He lives with his wife Alisa, who has a background in architectural history. She is employed as a Senior Preservation Consultant with the Public Archaeology Laboratory (PAL) , specializing in state and federal historic tax credits. They are both enthusiastic members of the community and are constantly finding new ways to give back to the place they love. Outside of real estate, Ben spends his time working on a local true crime podcast (yet to be released) and trying to keep up with his rescue dogs Kirby & Katie.
What They’re Saying...
"I bought my house through Ben. Ben found me an absolute gem. He is honest, respectable, knowledgeable and local. I look forward to working with Ben in the future!"
Matthew A.
"Ben is an absolute gem, and I feel very lucky to have worked with him. From the beginning, he took the time to get to know me and what I was looking for. As a first time home buyer, I had many questions and was unsure about the process. Ben was always accessible and always happy to answer any questions I had. He explained things clearly and with expertise, while still showing kindness, humor, and understanding for my circumstances. In this crazy market, he helped me find and close on my first home in just about a month. He also has many excellent, reputable connections that he shared with me to make the process much smoother (e.g. home insurance, inspection, etc.) I will be referring my friends and family to him for their own home buying journeys. Thank you so much, Ben!"
Joelle H.
"Ben was absolutely amazing from start to finish during my home buying process! He made a stressful and overwhelming process much easier to take on. He was always quick to respond and answered any questions I had! Ben is extremely knowledgeable and transparent when looking at homes. The whole team is amazing and I can’t recommend them enough!"
Madison N.
"Ben was amazing! He is very dedicated and energetic and a joy to interact with. He is also very knowledgeable about the area, giving us valuable information about various parts of Rhode Island and also important aspects of each home we looked at. We moved to the state from the Midwest and so had zero knowledge about the local market. We came for a week to visit RI and Ben showed us dozens of houses in various towns during this time. After we left, he went to open houses on our behalf and made recommendations, following which we made an offer. It was clear he understood what we were looking for and we trusted his judgment completely. We were not disappointed! The house we ended up buying he all of the features we wanted for our family. The team has a super efficient process for making offers -- it took literally less than hour before we decided to make an offer and when the offer was sent to the sellers. Robin at the office is amazing as well -- she schedules open-houses and visits very quickly, so we were able to see numerous houses while we were visiting RI. We highly recommend Ben!"
Emily S.
"I chose Benjamin Kean as my seller's agent because of his knowledge of Elmhurst, Providence and Rhode Island. He was excellent, overall, and I most appreciated his professionalism and genuine commitment to help sell my house with my goals in mind. Ben was/is responsive at every stage, prompt and thorough, and offered careful attention to the process. My house sold and closed very quickly, and all went smoothly. Ben also went out of his way to address my personal situation--of selling my house from out of state--including my not being able to attend the final walkthrough for the closing, forwarding my mail to my new home address, among others. Ben is personable, loves his work and professional. I highly recommend him to anyone selling or buying a house in Providence."
Hyun K.
"Ben was recommended to me by a friend and he and everyone I talked to was great. He was very knowledgeable about all the neighborhoods and the quirks that come with the homes. Thanks to him, I was able to get the first house I bid on, and he facilitated a for sale by owner process. I will definitely recommend him to all my friends looking to get out of Boston."
Devin S.
"Looking for a first home during a pandemic was not an easy task, but Ben made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. He respected our expectations for social distancing and always was very direct with us about situations he thought we might feel unsafe in. Ben kept our priorities and preferences about our future home in mind throughout the process, sending texts outside of his daily emails when new houses were added to the market. He was always on top of new additions to the market in areas we might like. Ben helped us understand how to make appealing offers in this very competitive market, and we could not be more happy with the results. He was at our disposal to answer questions, reassure us, remind us what our next steps were and make recommendations for related professionals in the industry to help finalize the purchase of our home. Ben took such good care of us that I'm not sure how he had time for other clients simultaneously! If there was an instance when Ben happened to be unavailable, the other members of the Blackstone Team were there to take over seamlessly. I cannot speak highly enough of him or the team, and would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone looking for an agent for any reason."
Kaitlin O.
"What a terrific experience working the Benjamin and his team! He was a true professional throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend Ben and the Blackstone team! This was my first time selling a home and Ben really knows his business well. He came to the initial meeting with very helpful information and explained his process in a way that definitely showed his expertise in real estate. Super responsive as if you are Bens only client! Friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Thanks for helping us sell our house and buy our new home!"
Phil W.
"Ben is an absolute master what what he does. He comes to the table with a deep knowledge of Providence and the surrounding areas as well as a mastery over the process. He was able to find us several listings and make recommendations based on our interests and must haves. The closing process was made that much smoother by Ben's ability to stay on top of all parties involved and make sure that things were moved along in a timely fashion. I can not recommend Ben enough - he will not treat you as just clients, he will really take the time to get to know you and make sure that he can provide you with options that closely match what you are after! 10/10 for Ben!"
Liam F.
"Ben is extremely diligent with great attention to detail. He and his team excelled at coordinating the sale of my 3-family during COVID. They kept everyone informed and the process went without a hitch. Can't recommend Ben highly enough!"
Jaffa D.
"BEN IS A ROCK STAR! He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire home buying process. He knows the markets and the process as well as anyone in the industry and his attention to detail is second to none. He has excellent communication skills and is always reachable by call or text. I would highly recommend Ben if you are looking to buy or sell a home because he and his team will take the stress out of the home buying process and deliver a first class experience."
