Ben Cartwright Team is a Johnsonville-based real estate team with over 18 years of experience helping clients buy and sell homes across Wellington. The team is led by Ben Cartwright, working alongside colleagues including Jade and Peter, and has racked up 12 awards since 2018, $283 million in confirmed sales, and more than 448 happy clients.
The team covers listings and sales across Johnsonville, Newlands, Paparangi, Woodridge and Churton Park, along with properties in Wellington Central, Thorndon, Mount Victoria, Tawa and Brooklyn. Their approach centres on clear communication, meticulous attention to detail, and honest support from the start of a sale through to settlement, with the stated goal of making the experience smooth and stress-free for vendors and confident for buyers.
Client reviews, posted on Google, repeatedly mention Ben going above and beyond — from helping fix small things around a house before sale, to guiding first-time solo sellers through the process, to navigating complicated sales through to a satisfactory outcome. Several clients note they have used the team more than once and returned for their next sale or purchase.
Alongside property listings, the team also publishes a blog covering home-buying guides and recipes, and offers free property appraisals for anyone wanting to know what their property is worth.
Based in Johnsonville, the Ben Cartwright Team describes itself as a real estate family, built on more than 18 years of experience helping people buy and sell homes across Wellington. Led by Ben Cartwright and working alongside team members including Jade and Peter, the team has built up a track record that includes 12 awards since 2018, $283 million in confirmed sales, and more than 448 happy clients.
The team's stated philosophy centres on clear communication, meticulous attention to detail, and honest support from start to finish. They frame selling a home as a big decision that deserves real attention, and buying one — whether it's a first home or a third — as something that can feel overwhelming without the right guidance. Their approach is to tailor support to each client's specific needs rather than run everyone through an identical process.
Google reviews collected on the team's site repeatedly point to the same theme: Ben and the team going further than expected. One reviewer described Ben offering to fix small things around the house before sale and effectively redoing a bathroom. Another, selling for the second time with Ben, called the results outstanding both times, noting the sheer number of offers received even in a difficult market. A first-time solo seller said the team took a lot of the stress out of the process, while another client whose sale wasn't straightforward praised Ben for navigating the twists and turns to a satisfactory result. Several reviewers mention returning to the team for a second or third transaction.
The team's current and recently sold listings span Johnsonville, Newlands, Paparangi, Woodridge and Churton Park, as well as properties in Wellington Central, Thorndon, Mount Victoria, Tawa and Brooklyn — reflecting a working area that stretches well beyond their Johnsonville base into much of greater Wellington.
Alongside current listings ranging from one-bedroom apartments to five-bedroom family homes, the team maintains a public record of sold properties, giving prospective clients a sense of results achieved in specific suburbs. For anyone considering a sale, the team offers a free property appraisal as a starting point, alongside a straightforward path to get in touch and start a conversation.
The team's blog rounds out the site with home-buying guides — including a practical guide to finding a dream home — alongside recipe posts, a slightly unexpected but personal touch for a real estate team's online presence.
