In Joey's Own Words:

My name is Joey Van Benthem, and I began my career in real estate in 2004 at the age of 27. With a background rooted in customer service and sales, I was drawn to this industry because it allows me to truly make a difference in people’s lives. Whether it’s helping a family purchase a home, guiding an investor as they build a portfolio, or assisting a business owner with expansion, being part of such important milestones is a privilege I never take lightly. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with hundreds of clients across residential and commercial real estate. What I love most about this business is the people. Every client brings a unique story and perspective, and I genuinely value the relationships built along the way. My focus has always been to exceed expectations through hard work, honesty, and a calm, supportive approach. I believe real estate should feel exciting and empowering—not stressful. In addition to serving my own clients, I proudly manage Avenue North Realty, where I coach and mentor our agents and provide support to them in building and growing their own businesses. Leadership is something I’m deeply passionate about. I am committed to raising the standard of professionalism in our industry by guiding agents with education, strategy, and hands-on mentorship. I believe that when agents are properly supported and well-trained, clients ultimately receive a higher level of service and protection. I have always considered myself a lifelong learner. While no one can know everything, I am committed to ensuring that my clients and team always have accurate, reliable information. If a situation requires additional expertise, I make it a priority to bring in the right resources quickly and efficiently. Our philosophy is simple: treat people the way we would want to be treated. We are relationship-driven, grounded in integrity, and focused on building trust that lasts far beyond a single transaction. My goal is not just to help you buy or sell real estate, but to build a lasting partnership for years to come. If you ever have questions about the market, a property, or simply want to explore your options, I invite you to reach out by phone, text, or email. I look forward to the opportunity to work together and to delivering an experience you will feel confident recommending to others. Joey Van Benthem

Home in Orleans, Ottawa | Nov 2020

Joey was an excellent agent. We used Joey to sell two properties and buy one— during a pandemic no less! His selection in properties he proposed we look at was accurate to what we were looking for and within our range. Each showing with Joey was a pleasant and fun interaction! After the purchase of our home, we recommended him to family and friends— he assisted them one with selling and one with buying. He exceeded their expectations. Joey was professional and extremely knowledgeable of the market (especially during that time). We would highly recommend Joey to anyone looking for a pleasant selling or buying experience!! - Lindsay Sanford

Reply:    Thanks so much Lindsay. We enjoyed our time with you and Darren helping you find your dream home. We are so grateful for our friendship and all the referrals you have sent us over the years.

Home in Nepean, Ottawa | Nov 2025

I’ve worked with Joey for about five years now. He’s helped me buy two places and sell one, and every time he has made the whole thing feel a lot less stressful than it should be. The latest property I bought had a legal secondary unit and a bunch of extra steps because of a tenant situation and certain nuisances found through the inspection. Joey handled all of it without making it feel like a big deal. What I like most is that he’s actually on top of things. He notices details before I do, brings in the right people when needed, and explains what’s going on in a way that makes sense. I never felt rushed or left in the dark. Working with him has always been straightforward, and I genuinely trust him with anything real-estate related. - Matteo Colombi

Reply:    Thank you Matteo for the kind words. We have enjoyed helping you find your first home and then most recently finding your first investment property. Thank you so much for your continued trust and referrals.
