Ed was absolutely wonderful! When he took over our listing which had been on the market well over a year, he realistically set our expectations about pricing & the things we needed to do in order to sell. He was there with us every step of the process. We were very lucky that he took over the listing, and even in the slow market, he was there with us holding our hands the entire time!! Kudos to an outstanding & caring agent!! Wayne & Cheryl D.
