Richard J. Benedetto

I have been a licensed real estate professional since 1985 and opened my brokerage, Real Estate Advantage, in 1987. Today, our office has grown to over 37 agents serving buyers and sellers throughout Chautauqua County real estate markets, including Jamestown, Lakewood, and Bemus Point, NY.

With over 40 years of experience and more than 1,700 homes sold, I bring proven results and in-depth market knowledge to every transaction.

As a lifelong resident of the area, I provide firsthand knowledge of Chautauqua Lake real estate and the surrounding communities. Many of my clients are not just customers but neighbors I've had the privilege of helping to buy and sell homes over the years.

I specialize in Chautauqua Lake homes for sale, including waterfront homes, lake-access properties, second homes, and single-family homes throughout Chautauqua County. My experience allows me to accurately price properties, market them effectively, and negotiate strong results for my clients.

As Broker/Owner of Real Estate Advantage, I have a dedicated staff and personal assistant who manage the day-to-day operations of the office. This allows me to dedicate my full time and attention to marketing properties, working directly with buyers and sellers, and delivering results.

If you are considering buying, selling, or relocating within Chautauqua County, I would welcome the opportunity to put my experience to work for you. Whether you are looking for Chautauqua Lake waterfront property, a second home, or a single-family residence in Jamestown, Lakewood, or Bemus Point, I am here to guide you every step of the way.

Please feel free to contact me anytime—I'm always happy to discuss the local market and your real estate goals.
