As a member of Kidder Mathews’ Tenant Advisory Group, Ben works on behalf of office tenants exclusively and is passionate about helping companies make excellent real estate decisions. He works with a wide range of organizations—including tech companies, professional service firms, healthcare providers, and nonprofits—guiding them through every stage of the leasing process.
In the post-2020 workplace environment, Ben has been a trusted advisor to leadership teams navigating evolving office needs, hybrid work considerations, and the pursuit of high-quality, flexible, and efficient workspace solutions.
A lifelong Seattle-area resident and University of Washington graduate, Ben brings deep regional knowledge and a strong network of local relationships to his clients. He’s an ardent fan of the City of Seattle and is committed to its growth and vibrancy.
Since 2011, he has served on the Board of Directors of First Tee of Greater Seattle, including as its President, supporting its mission of building character and life skills in youth through the game of golf.
Outside of work, Ben enjoys golf, fitness, skiing, boating, travel, and exploring Seattle’s restaurant scene. He lives in Seattle with his wife, Alyssa Toomey—a commercial insurance broker—sharing a dedication to clear communication, high-integrity representation, and delivering outstanding results for clients.
Ben has been a fantastic partner to Boyer since 2014. Long after our lease was completed, he continues to stay in touch and serves as a trusted real estate advisor. He was instrumental in helping me and our Board of Directors navigate a complicated lease with the City of Seattle to secure a space that serves us well. We wholeheartedly recommend him- he’s outstanding.
Ben understood our priorities immediately. He moved fast, found us a great space, and negotiated flexible terms that exceeded expectations. Working with him was effortless and I highly recommend him.
I’ve known and worked with Ben for 15 years and he’s consistently shown integrity, dedication, and a genuine commitment to our best interests. This recent step forward for Bear Mountain Capital is an exciting milestone, and Ben guided us through it with skill and care from beginning to end.
Ben has helped us navigate a tough leasing market to secure the perfect new location for our team. His market knowledge, responsiveness, and ability to negotiate favorable terms in a competitive scenario made all the difference. He is truly there for his clients, regardless of size. We’ve worked with him since 2012 and highly recommend him.
We just finished using Ben to find my firm an appropriate space and to help us negotiate the lease. This was the second time we used Ben and I have absolutely no doubt we will use him the next time as well. Both times I felt that Ben had one goal: getting us in the right space at a good rate.
Ben understands the unique real estate needs of a fast-growing company. He helped us find and negotiate a lease for an exceptional office space that gave us flexibility to grow. He was able to accommodate our highly specific list of requirements in a challenging market. Ben was diligent in his approach, clear in his communication, and a pleasure to work with in general. He’s a great broker, friend and pretty decent golfer.
Ben has represented me on our company’s office leases for the past two decades and has been my go-to for everything in the Puget Sound. I trust him implicitly. He communicates clearly, responds quickly and sets appropriate expectations. Overall, he does what he says he’s going to do and delivers for us time and time again.
We’ve worked with Ben on 5 lease transactions over the years. Every time I’m reminded how nice it is to have a broker who we trust and is always looking out for our best interests.
