Bennie holds a B.A. in Business Management from California State University, Fresno and is licensed as both a California real estate professional and general contractor.

His experience also includes managing a portfolio of approximately 900 apartment units and participating in the development of more than 300 Class A apartment units. As an active real estate investor himself, Bennie understands real estate not only from an agent’s perspective, but also from an owner’s and investor’s point of view.
A multi-million-dollar producer and Top Producer Award recipient from 2017–2025, Bennie has built his business around long-term relationships and personalized service rather than high-pressure sales.
Bennie has extensive knowledge of Fresno, Clovis, Clovis Unified School District neighborhoods, North Fresno, Northeast Fresno, Northwest Fresno, Copper River, Woodward Park, Van Ness Extension, Old Fig Garden, and surrounding Central Valley communities. He also helps clients understand how factors such as school district boundaries, neighborhood location, property condition, upgrades, lot characteristics, and local market conditions can influence real estate value.
For sellers, Bennie uses professional photography, video marketing, digital advertising, social media, online exposure, and modern listing strategies to position properties in front of today's buyers. For buyers, he provides patient, step-by-step guidance from the initial home search through negotiations, inspections, financing, and closing.
Bennie lives and works in the community he serves and is committed to providing clients with knowledgeable, straightforward advice and a calm, professional experience throughout every real estate transaction.
