About Benj

I grew up in Sun Valley, Idaho (Hailey actually) and have been privileged to live in many different places around the world since then. I spent ten years in France, three years in Scotland, and fifteen years in Israel. Now, after travelling the world for twenty-five years, I’m thrilled to finally be back in the beautiful state of Idaho.

Prior to my career in real estate, I worked as an Old Testament professor/scholar and published articles and books on a variety of topics related to the Hebrew language, ancient Near Eastern history, and historical geography. My background in education taught me how to communicate clearly, conduct thorough independent research, find creative solutions, and pay close attention to detail. All these skills, I believe, are extremely helpful in the real estate industry.

I love working with people, and as a real estate agent I am committed to clear and thorough communication with my clients, listening to their needs, working with precision and professional integrity, and ultimately make the buying and selling process an enjoyable experience.

Testimonials

  • The journey to purchase our first home was made easy thanks to Benj's knowledge and guidance. When we chose Benj, we didn't just get a realtor, we made a friend! He answered every phone call and set up walkthroughs for a number of houses, gradually narrowing down our search and settling on something very special. We highly recommend Benj and he'll be the first person we refer to when it comes to realty in the Boise area. ~ A. & L. Raufman (Nov. 2022)

 

  • We just moved from So Calif to Star, Idaho. Working with a real estate agent long distance does come with some challenges, but we knew we were in good hands with Benj Foreman. This is something we can unequivocally state because we did our homework. After meeting with one agent several months ago and talking with others who bought homes in Idaho, it became clear that our agent needed to understand our needs and demands. We didn’t want a showman who was simply out to capitalize on the “hot market.” After seeing a few of Benj’s You Tube videos, we were struck with his calm demeanor and ability to use data to analyze the market and help us understand what we were getting ourselves into---including moving into an area that snows in the winter—which we are unaccustomed to. After reaching out to Benj, he immediately set up a zoom session so we could meet virtually. It was after that meeting we knew we wanted him to be our agent. He was professional and explained real estate contracts and what we could expect should we opt to use him and his broker, TripleCord Real Estate. Benj also answered ALL of our questions and gave us insight into various scenarios that could play out given our timeline to sell in California and buy in Idaho. He was with us at every step, immediately returning our calls and facetiming us during the first inspection. It’s important that you have a real estate agent whom you can trust—we found that! There is no doubt that this process went smoothly because of the knowledge, leadership, and professionalism of Benj Foreman. We highly recommend him if you are in the market for a real estate agent! ~D. & C. Volpe (June 2022)
