In the dynamic world of real estate, longevity isn’t just a testament to survival; it’s a mark of excellence, trust, and adaptability. As BENESTATES marks its 15th year anniversary, it’s an opportune moment to reflect on the remarkable journey that has brought us to where we stand today – a leading force in Malta’s real estate industry, known for our unwavering commitment to quality and innovation.

Foundations of Success (2008-2013)

• BENESTATES was born from a vision fueled by ambition and a determination to redefine the real estate landscape. Founded by Bernard Mangion with a simple yet powerful mantra – “Go big or Go home” – our journey began with laying down the building blocks of a brand destined for greatness.

• From becoming a certified Licensed Real Estate Agency to painstakingly building our property database from scratch, every step was a testament to our dedication and perseverance.

• The initial years were challenging, but they laid the foundation for what was to come – steady growth, fueled by the trust of our clients and the relentless efforts of our team.

Recognition and Expansion (2014-2018)

• As our reputation grew, so did our accolades. In 2015, Bernard Mangion was honored as Malta’s Best Real Estate Entrepreneur of the Year, a recognition of his commitment to excellence and innovation. Buoyed by the trust of our clients, he embarked on a journey of expansion, opening BE’s first franchise in 2017 – a testament to the strength of our brand and the relationships we’ve built over the years.

• But our growth wasn’t just in numbers; it was also in our ethos. The launch of BE Academy underscored our commitment to continuous learning and improvement, while our foray into charity and fundraising events reflected our desire to give back to the community that has supported us.

Innovation and Resilience (2019-2024)

• The past five years have been marked by innovation and resilience, as we embraced technology to elevate our services to new heights. The setup of a state-of-the-art, cloud-based database transformed how our agents interacted with properties, while our expansion across the islands solidified our presence in the market.

• Even amidst the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, BENESTATES stood strong, adapting to the new normal while maintaining our commitment to our clients and communities. Our efforts in eco-friendly and sustainability initiatives underscored our commitment to responsible business practices, reflecting our belief in leaving a positive impact on the world around us.

Looking Ahead: A Vision for the Future

As we celebrate our 15th anniversary, we do so with an eye towards the future – a future defined by innovation, sustainability, and continued growth. Our vision for the next five years is bold yet grounded in our core values:
