About Me
Ken Benassi has over 20 years experience in the local commercial real estate industry negotiating the acquisition or sale and lease of industrial and commercial properties throughout Hampton Roads. Prior to entering commercial real estate, Ken worked in the industrial gas and welding supply industry where he was trained in “Client Focused” sales and service. This client focus has differentiated Ken and has allowed him to develop strong client relationships as evidenced by the multiple transactions he has been affective for many clients. Whereas many commercial real estate agents focus on a product type, Ken focuses on the client relationship. Ken’s core competency is assisting clients in solving complex real estate issues.
