Realtor® Benjamin Gilbert: Broker Associate and Community Builder

ORLANDO, Fla. – Years before he earned his broker’s license, Benjamin Gilbert found himself standing in a courtroom, face to face with a 17-year-old kid who had stolen his car. But instead of pressing charges, Benjamin asked to speak to him. “I told him, ‘You’ve got a choice right now. You can keep going down this path, or you can take this as a wake-up call.” That conversation left a lasting impression on Benjamin.
