About Ben

Ben Rush: More Than Just a Realtor - A Visionary in Real Estate Born in San Jose and raised in the Santa Cruz Mountains, I bring a lifetime of local knowledge and a deep understanding of what makes a space truly exceptional. My background in residential and commercial insurance sales allows me to see beyond the surface - anticipating challenges and ensuring clients make informed, strategic decisions. As a lifelong entrepreneur, I've owned and operated a successful business in Aptos since age 27, honing a sharp eye for investment opportunities and an instinct for market trends. My work as a nationally and internationally exhibited artist, combined with experience in style and design, adds a creative edge to real estate - helping sellers showcase their properties at their best and guiding buyers to see the possibilities within a space. Beyond transactions, my extensive network across business, art, and real estate connects clients with the right people to turn visions into reality. I don't just facilitate purchases and sales; I uncover hidden value and deliver results that exceed expectations. Real estate isn't just about property - it's about vision, strategy, and precision. My unique perspective transforms spaces into opportunities, ensuring every client's goals are met with creativity and expertise.
