Meet Jimmy Benson

Jimmy grew up in RVA, graduated from Radford University with a degree in Finance, and began his real estate career here in 1993. His parents started their own brokerage in 1975, so you may say it’s in his blood. After 30 plus years in the business himself, Jimmy takes a straightforward approach, advising clients of what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. He also holds a Class A Contractor’s license and has extensive knowledge of investing and property management. Jimmy and his team have consistently and consecutively been recognized with the firm’s top honor – The Ruby Award – for remaining in the top ten teams by units sold and sales volume. The Jimmy Benson Team believes our clients should make informed, not pressured decisions, which is why we offer straight-forward honest advice and representation, interpreting the market for you, allowing you to make wise decisions to achieve your goals. Backed by 30 plus years of experience and knowledge of the industry, we pride ourselves on delivering results and exceptional service by providing a personalized experience for each client. Jimmy is the proud father of five – three boys and two girls, ranging in age from fifteen to twenty-four, three of which are in college! He is continually active in their schools, his church, and this community. Jimmy is a thrill seeker who loves skiing, running, getting his hands dirty, renovation and design, and most things outdoors. His passion for helping others with real estate, or otherwise, is evident from your first connection!

We thank you for considering The Jimmy Benson Team and would be honored if given the opportunity to help!

What Our Clients Say About Jimmy Benson
Jimmy Benson sold us at home 24 years ago. He did a great job; so, when we were looking to buy the summer, we asked him to represent us. Once again, he did a great job. With his experience and knowledge, Jimmy was able to list our home at the appropriate price, enabling the market to take the price up. This approach resulted in an our receiving 5 offers, all well over list price - one exceptionally so. Jimmy also helped us purchase our new home; and he was able to negotiate a good and fair price. He and his able assistant, Ashley Clark, were wonderful to work with: highly professional, efficient, unflappable and fun. We recommend the Jimmy Benson Team without reservation to anyone in need of help navigating the real estate market. - Happy Client for Jimmy Benson

Realtor and Advisor Jimmy helped me purchase my last two homes. I recently moved and he was instrumental in helping manage the process with the builder. His expertise and knowledge not just of real estate but with contacts for repairs, cleaning and overall advice is extremely valuable. I am so grateful for having Jimmy as a realtor and advisor. - Jayme W.
Highly Recommend Jimmy! Mr. Benson was the real estate agent who was instrumental in selling my daughter's house and mine. Mr. Benson succeeded where other real estate agents failed. Throughout the process— from listing to sale— I was most impressed by Mr. Benson’s knowledge of the Mechanicsville market, and how best to list these two properties. I will always recommend Mr. Benson whenever asked by buyers or sellers. - Paul J
