I’m Benjamin Newbern, a proud Florence native whose family has called Northwest Alabama home for generations. Growing up in the Shoals gave me a lasting appreciation for our neighborhoods, the Tennessee River, and the sense of community that has always defined this region. Those connections have guided my path, even as my career took me beyond Florence.

After graduating from Auburn University, I built a diverse professional background through roles in both government and nonprofit organizations. My work in Montgomery and later in Washington, D.C. gave me opportunities to sharpen skills in communication, negotiation, and service. These experiences taught me the value of listening closely, building trust, and navigating complex challenges—lessons that continue to shape how I work with clients today.

When I returned to Florence, I was drawn back not only by family and community, but also by the chance to invest my time and energy where my roots run deepest. Real estate came later, as a natural extension of my desire to serve others and contribute meaningfully to the place I’ve always called home.

Today, I’m proud to represent MarMac Real Estate, a locally respected firm with a strong presence across North Alabama. Choosing me as your agent means you’re not only getting my personal dedication and hometown perspective—you’re also backed by MarMac’s trusted brand, innovative marketing tools, and extensive network of buyers, sellers, and industry professionals. Together, we bring both personal service and powerful resources to every transaction.

In real estate, I’ve found the ideal balance of local knowledge and professional experience. Whether helping first-time buyers, guiding families through the sale of a longtime residence, or assisting with estate and probate transactions, I focus on clear communication, careful planning, and protecting my clients’ best interests. I’ve built strong relationships with local lenders, inspectors, attorneys, and contractors, ensuring my clients benefit from a trusted network of professionals.

For me, success is never about numbers alone—it’s about creating peace of mind, smooth transactions, and lasting relationships. If you’re looking to buy, sell, or explore your options in the Shoals, I’d be honored to put my knowledge, dedication, and deep community ties to work for you.
