Benjamin Gleeson and Riley
About Benjamin

The person
behind the
profession.

Before you invite someone into one of the biggest decisions of your life, you should know who they are. So here's me — unfiltered.

I became the agent I wished I'd had.

I came to real estate through the investing side — flipping houses and learning the numbers before I ever had a license. But what turned me into an agent was something more personal than that.

When I bought my first condo in Florida, and then my home in Atlanta, I walked away from both transactions feeling like I was just a commission check. The agents were competent. They weren't invested. And I kept thinking — this doesn't have to be this way.

"Real estate is the biggest financial decision most people will ever make. It deserves more than a transactional relationship. That's the whole reason I do this."

So I built the practice I wished existed. One built on honesty, long-term thinking, and genuine relationships. I work at the intersection of real estate and financial strategy — helping established homeowners and families in Atlanta build a 5 to 10 year plan that turns their home into their most powerful financial asset.

Over a decade in, I still work with a small number of clients at a time. Not because I can't handle more — but because every person who trusts me with this deserves the full version of me.

A little more about the person you'd be working with.

Before you invite someone into one of the largest transactions of your life, you should feel like you know them. Here's the real me.

01
Christmas Birthday
Born on Christmas Day. Yes, really. Growing up with a December 25th birthday is its own kind of character building.
02
Dog Person
Total dog person. I don't get cats — at all. Riley is my co-pilot and unofficial home inspector.
03
Great Barrier Reef
Scuba dived the Great Barrier Reef in Australia at 16. Still one of the greatest things I've ever done.
04
Pen Pal
I've had the same pen pal since summer camp as a kid. We've been writing each other for almost 27 years.
05
Tony Robbins
Once pushed open a swinging door and hit Tony Robbins on the other side. He is very tall. I was instantly intimidated.
06
Born in Germany
My dad was in the Army. I was born in Germany while my parents were stationed there — I've been all over Europe, I just don't remember any of it.
07
Prom King
Was Prom King. Got to keep the crown and everything. It's in a box somewhere.
08
Starbucks Career
Worked at Starbucks for exactly two weeks. Didn't understand the drinks. Made the same thing for everyone. Career ended swiftly.
09
Cold Weather
One of the few people who genuinely loves cold weather — sweaters, skiing, comfort food. Built for winter.
10
Fiji Research Fail
Traveled to Fiji for 10 days without doing research first. Didn't realize they don't have sandy beaches. It's all rock. Always do your research.
11
Jeep Guy
First car was a VW Jetta — 5-speed manual. Then a Jeep Wrangler, also 5-speed. Favorite car I've ever owned.
12
Mission Trip
Traveled to Nicaragua in my early teens on a mission trip to help establish a sister parish two hours outside Managua.
13
Ice Cream Opinion
Blue Bell Vanilla and Strawberries is perfect. Blue Bell Strawberry ice cream is not. These are very different products.
14
Full Disclosure
I have a very foul mouth. I'd make a sailor blush. I don't curse in front of clients — but consider yourself warned.
15
Capitol Adventure
My best friend and I once got lost in the US Capitol and stumbled onto the private train between the Capitol and congressional offices.
16
Keeps Change
I keep change in my car to give to people who need it. Small thing. Matters to me.
