About
Ben
Having lived in Mildura my whole life, I moved to Geelong for a brief period of time where I started my real estate career. The decision to move back was never a hard one as I love what Mildura has to offer year-round. The slower paced lifestyle and the strong community are the reasons why Mildura is the perfect place for my wife Diana and I to raise our three children.

To me, family and friends are everything and I love nothing more than spending time with them whenever possible. I love to go to the gym and while the days of my long curly blonde hair are behind me, I do enjoy letting my hair down once in a while. I am still involved with local sports and in particular coaching the junior football and basketball sides that my children are involved with. Every now and then you may still hear me commentate the local footy match of the round on the radio which is something I still enjoy to do once in a while.

I proudly became a Director of Collie & Tierney in 2013, something I have worked so hard for throughout my career to achieve and I have loved every moment of it. I pride myself in providing the best quality service to all of my clients and with my experience in high end properties throughout Sunraysia the results speak for themselves. I believe my vast knowledge of the real estate industry, having worked in property management, commercial management, conveyancing and sales as well as working outside of the region has given me priceless knowledge and an advantage to be able to provide a diverse service to all of my clients.

What People Are Saying About Ben
  • "Very professional, returned every missed call ASAP. Completed everything I asked. Excellent service. Highly recommend Ben to anyone looking to buy a property in Mildura and surrounding areas."

    Engelo Rumora
  • "Overall the sale process was pretty good. I talked to 3 different agents before choosing Ben. I liked that Ben picked up the highlights of the property pretty quickly and that they were the same highlights that I saw in the property. I found that having both Ben and Kelly together was a big advantage – especially at opens. I thought the communication was good and always found the information spot on. He was very confident and competent and built rapport very quickly. Pricing was not the cheapest but I felt I certainly got the service that it warranted."

    Greg Davies
  • "I was very impressed with the experience. Everything was very professional and I loved that I was constantly kept in the loop throughout the process, at no stage was I left guessing what was going on."

    Matt McGinty

Never having done anything like this Ben explained everything that we could understand and gave us piece of mind and confidence and sold the property in a week, excellent! We would both not hesitate in naming Ben Ridley as a caring, honest and down to earth person to handle any real estate matters. Can't speak highly enough of him. Thank you"

  • "Ben’s service was A+++. I have dealt with many real estate agent’s in the past and Ben was the first agent to actually value my time and made feel like I was his highest priority when I am sure he would have been busy with other properties and clients. He was always friendly and helpful and the communication from Ben was fantastic!"

  • Would highly recommend Ben to anyone selling their home in the Sunraysia area Ben has recently sold a property in Merebin for my husband and I. We live interstate so relied on Ben to keep us up to date remotely. The house needed a few maintenance items fixed, a repaint inside and a garden tidy up. Ben organised the quotes and works in a very short period of time and got the property looking it’s best for sale. There was a lot of interest and sold at the first open well over our expected price. We were ecstatic. We were incredibly happy with Ben. He is very personable and and a great communicator. His market knowledge is exceptional and we wouldn’t hesitate using him again to sell other properties we have in Mildura. We highly recommend Ben and his team at Collie & Tierney Mildura.

  • My recent experience with Ben Ridley from Collie & Tierney Mildura was Awesome. Ben was very approachable, easy to talk with, knowledgeable, professional & caring. My experience from the initial valuation on my home through to finding the right property for me- through to purchase of that property & a very successful sale of my current home, was amazing. It all flowed well and communication throughout all this was great. I highly recommend Ben Ridley for anyone who plans to sell or buy in the near future.
