About Ed Brittingham
Ed Brittingham is a full-time Associate Broker with RE/MAX Eclipse in Sterling Heights, Michigan, serving home buyers and sellers across Macomb and Oakland Counties, including Sterling Heights, Troy, Shelby Township, Clinton Township, Rochester Hills, and Warren. An Associate Broker holds a higher Michigan real estate license than a standard sales agent, earned through advanced education, testing, and production - which means clients work directly with a career professional, not a part-time salesperson.
Ed brings an investigator's discipline to every transaction. He served in the U.S. Army as a Military Police officer and spent a decade as a licensed insurance claims investigator before building his real estate practice. That background shapes how he works: careful pricing analysis, line-by-line contract review, deep property-history research, and firm negotiation - all aimed at protecting his clients' money and their move.
Clients rate Ed 5 stars across 67 verified reviews on RateMyAgent, where he was named a Top Agent for Macomb County and Warren (2025). He is a Real Producers Top 300 agent for Macomb County (2024, 2025, and 2026) and a RE/MAX award winner every year since 2022. His professional credentials include Accredited Buyer's Representative, Seller Representative Specialist, Pricing Strategy Advisor, Real Estate Negotiation Expert, Seniors Real Estate Specialist, and Military Relocation Professional.
Whether you are buying your first home, selling to move up, relocating to Metro Detroit, or planning a senior move, Ed provides data-driven pricing guidance, strong negotiation, and clear communication from first showing to closing day.

FAQ
Get fully pre-approved before you tour a single home, and know your must-haves versus nice-to-haves in advance. In Macomb and Oakland Counties, well-priced homes can draw strong interest quickly, so be ready to act — but never waive inspections or contract protections just to win. I review every contract line by line and research each property's history before my buyers commit, so there are no expensive surprises after closing.
Price from real comparable sales data, not from what you hope the home is worth — overpricing costs you the critical first two weeks when buyer interest is highest. Invest in professional photography and get the home showing-ready before it hits the market. I build every listing's pricing strategy from current Macomb and Oakland County market data, then negotiate each offer against that strategy to protect your equity.
I work with first-time buyers, move-up buyers and sellers, military families relocating to Metro Detroit, seniors planning a rightsized move, and out-of-state sellers who need someone local they can trust. My verified reviews span 33 cities across Macomb and Oakland Counties, from condos to family homes to land.
A recent favorite: sellers in Shelby Township whose home went under contract on its first day on the market with multiple offers, all above asking. Careful pricing, standout photography, and a same-day offer strategy made the difference. They've since referred family members and a friend — the best compliment this business offers.
I served in the U.S. Army as a Military Police officer, then spent a decade as a licensed insurance claims investigator, where I learned to read contracts skeptically and verify everything. After 15-plus years co-owning local businesses, I brought that investigative discipline into real estate full-time — and earned my Associate Broker license, a step above a standard sales license, through advanced education, testing, and production.
Beyond my Michigan Associate Broker license, I hold these professional credentials: Accredited Buyer's Representative, Seller Representative Specialist, Pricing Strategy Advisor, Real Estate Negotiation Expert, Seniors Real Estate Specialist, Military Relocation Professional, At Home With Diversity, Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource, and Home Finance Resource. I also hold the National Association of Realtors Commitment to Excellence endorsement and am a Realtors Property Resource Certified Trainer. Combined with my Army and insurance-investigation background, that training is what lets me protect clients on pricing, contracts, and negotiations.
