Review for Member: Ed Giffels
ZillowVERIFIEDWe saw the listing come up and I called Ed immediately! I called him just because I wanted to see the house, I didn't realize at the time that it would be the best choice we've made! Ed is extremely knowledgeable about the world of real estate. He kept the interest of the sellers and us in mind the whole time. This was our first time buying a home and it could not have gone smoother. My husband and I are extremely grateful for all the time and effort given by Ed! He is very personable and very trustworthy! He is definitely the best choice when buying or selling a home!

ZillowVERIFIED I was very impressed with Ed! At our first meeting he came prepared with information about my home and how it compared to the surrounding market. He left that day giving me great suggestions on how to increase the sale of my home. I took his suggestions and when I was ready to list the house I called Ed who expressed that the few things I did increased the value by thousands. Ed was right I got much more than what was initially expected. My home sold within the first couple of days of being on the market. Any corrections that were requested by my buyer Ed made it clear to me what was a reasonable request and what I should decline. Selling a home can be stressful and emotional, Ed was understanding, responsive, honest and kind. Thank you for your good service!

ZillowVERIFIED Ed was a pleasure to work with! He was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He was very respectful of my budget and aEURoemust haves.aEUR? I relied on him every step of the way, and he never let me down. I was always able to reach him through a phone call, text message, or email. He helped me put together a strong offer and repair addendum. He also has a great network for mortgages, insurance, and home inspectors. I will recommend him to anyone I know looking to buy or sell a house!

ZillowVERIFIED Ed is a very knowledgeable and passionate real estate agent. He sold our house for a great price and helped us buy a new home for less than what we expected to pay. You will not find a more dedicated and honest real estate agent.

ZillowVERIFIED We interviewed three realtors for our condo listing. With four votes, it was a unanimous decision to go with Ed. Ed is very personable and genuine, making us comfortable in all our communications with him. He's extremely responsive, typically answering questions within minutes and keeping us up-to-date on the process. This was the smoothest real estate transaction we've ever experienced with the help of Ed. We had more than one offer and was under contract within a week for full asking price. We were coming in from out of town, along with numerous other family members for our daughter's graduation. Ed successfully coordinated our closing document signing with graduation weekend and all the hoopla that goes along with it. Thanks Ed and we wish you continued success!

ZillowVERIFIED As a first time home buyer I would absolutely recommend Ed to anyone. Ed was responsive, knowledgeable, and was always looking for homes for us. I never felt like Ed was trying to sell us a house, rather he was trying to help us find one. Ed made this a comfortable and even fun process.

ZillowVERIFIED Ed was a great realtor for us! He helped us sell our first house. It was only on the market for 2 days before it sold and he helped us get exactly the price we wanted. Ed made this entire process very smooth, with little work for us to do. He was knowledgeable, helpful, and very personable. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED Ed could not have been more professional in this situation. He was always there to help, and keep both parties calm & focused on the end goal. Which ultimately resulted in the sale of our house in 3 days!! I could not have been more pleased with how things finally unfolded, he had a lot to handle with both parties. Nothing but nice & positive things to say about him, at times he reached "sainthood". I would absolutely recommend & reuse him again...was wonderful!!Cheri

ZillowVERIFIED I knew Ed before starting to look for a house. At our first meeting, I let him know what I was looking for and he provided me leads to look over and we went out to see several houses. He gave me great ideas and helped refine what I was looking for and was spot on with his comments. He was very helpful and upfront. I'm so glad I contacted him, it worked out perfect for us.

ZillowVERIFIED We were able to sell our home in a short time with Ed's help. We appreciated the full package he offered with Jaqua - professional photography, staging, and realtor tour - that some other agents could not offer. Although we did not take advantage of all of those options, they were there if needed. Ed is very likable and knowledgeable about his trade. He was able to answer several questions we had going in. We appreciated his honesty throughout the process. He was willing to make extra contacts and jump through hoops as needed to get the job done.

ZillowVERIFIED I give Ed my highest recommendation. He was friendly, professional and knowledgable regarding all aspects of my transaction. Ed was always quick to respond and offered additional information beyond what I would ask for.

ZillowVERIFIED Ed was responsive and listened to our needs and desires in purchasing a home. He has a no pressure approach that is greatly appreciated when looking to purchase the right home for your needs. Another plus with Ed - and something that is often over looked in finding a realtor - is his superb network of honest, knowledgeable local professionals in the home industry. That is something you cannot readily find through the internet or on your own within the short timeframes needed to successfully purchase a home.

ZillowVERIFIED It was such a pleasure to buy a house with Ed! He listened to everything my husband and I were looking for in a home, without question or judgment. Ed's knowledge of Kalamazoo neighborhoods helped us expand our location while still maintaining all of the amenities we desired. Ed was with us every step of the way from showings, finding financing and even attending the closing. He was accessible every day via phone/text/email and was very flexible with my husband and my schedules for viewing and signing. Whether you're a first-time home buyer or a veteran, Ed's friendliness, determination and knowledge will help make the process simple and smooth!

ZillowVERIFIED Ed was very helpful throughout the whole process of selling my home. He has a wealth of experience and local knowledge and I was able to accept an offer in about a week. He put me in contact with great local vendors to address repairs quickly. Above all the house sold for more than I was expecting.

ZillowVERIFIED I recently listed a home with Ed and it sold after only 10 days on the market for near asking price. I also used Ed when purchasing my next home and his expertise was extremely valuable. He assisted with everything from finding the right lender to providing referrals for radon systems, pest inspections and so on. Ed consistently went above and beyond during the home buying process and explained things in a way that made sense. Ed is a trustworthy, dependable person who responds promptly to questions/ concerns. If you are thinking of buying or selling a home, I would highly recommend Ed Giffels!

ZillowVERIFIED We had a home on Gun Lake that was on the market for a couple of seasons. The realtor we had been using only seemed to care about lowering the price to get a quick sale. So we decided to use Ed Giffels. He was very knowledgeable of the area. He came up with several new marketing ideas, and never once mentioned lowering the price. Through his network of contacts he found an out of town buyer and negotiated the deal within 97% of our asking price. Our home sold within 2 months after we made the right choice, and went with Ed Giffels. I would highly recommend.Rob

ZillowVERIFIED Ed was a great agent! My wife and I just bought our first home together with Ed. The process was quick and easy with him. When we told him what we were looking for, he sent us links to homes that he thought would be great for us. We then were able to look at them online and let him know which ones we were interested in viewing. For Ed, it was no problem to get viewing real quick. We had a couple of times were Ed was able to schedule a viewing the next day. Ed was very knowledgable, which made the process a lot easier for a pair of first time home buyers. Overall, Ed was great and when we go to purchase another home in the future we will definitely be contacting him again.

Throughout the home buying process we were extremely impressed with his level of professionalism, work ethic, knowledge, and diligence. He helped make the home buying process a very enjoyable and stress-free experience. We will definitely work with Ed in the future and I strongly recommend him to anyone in search of a great real estate agent.

ZillowVERIFIED Ed helped us find our dream home. Not only did he help negotiate the best deal for our new home but he helped us gain a profit on the selling of the home we were in as well. Ed is professional, committed and genuine. We recommend him to everyone we know looking for a realtor. Not only will he treat you with respect but long after the sale or purchase of your home he will treat you as a friend. I wouldn't use anyone other than Ed Giffels for any real estate need. While I know Ed had many clients I always felt we were first priority as I'm sure the others felt as well.

ZillowVERIFIED Ed came to our home and helped my wife and I with questions that we had concerning the ins and outs with splitting our duplex and making it into a Condo. Our idea is to sell it as two individual homes verses one large home.Every time we called him with more questions he was very quick with a call back. I will use Ed when the procedure is done to help us sell this property.

ZillowVERIFIED I referred Ed to a very close friend whos home he sold. This was during the time when houses were not selling and Ed was able to complete the sale of my friend's home and exceeded thier expectation.Ed has also listing another friends home on Austin lake after they had listed previously with another realtor. They are very excited about what Ed is able to offer that had not been offered previously. His expertise, I believe is lake property, his company works with persons being moved to this area and people outside of MI that are looking for lake properties. I have complete faith that Ed will do his very best for them.

ZillowVERIFIED Ed was my agent for a home purchase on Lake Doster. I contacted Ed to view another home on the lake based on the recommendation of a coworker. He is very knowledgeable of the local area and was able to answer all of my questions. In this transaction he was also the agent for the seller. I was initially concerned with how fair he would be, but did a good job of respecting both parties viewpoints. The whole process went smoothly and he kept an open line of communication between all parties involved. I would highly recommend Ed to anyone looking for an outstanding real estate agent.

ZillowVERIFIED Ed has always gone above and beyond for me and others that I have referred to him. He is extremely responsive and has a lot of knowledge on this market/area. Ed is very honest and has all of the great qualities people are looking for in a real estate agent. Even when there was nothing in it for him he did a lot of research for us when we were looking to build onto our house and needed some comps. He has become a great friend and I could not recommend a better agent.

ZillowVERIFIED I referred a client to Ed Giffels that was "shopping" for a home and contacting many realtors to set-up showings. Once they spoke with Ed, they learned the benefit of working with one person who can coordinate their entire property search. The buyers were pleased with the advice and insight Ed provided during the process.I have always found Ed to demonstrate a high level of knowledge in his craft and is excellent with educating buyers/sellers on the current market to increase their odds of a successful real estate experience. If you are looking for a caring individual that works hard and is on your side, you need to connect with Ed!

He knows and understands the regional real estate market better than anyone I know and he is an absolute pleasure to work with. Working with Ed, I have absolutely no concerns regarding his representation of me or my property. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone seeking to buy or sell real estate in southwest Michigan.

ZillowVERIFIED The main difference between Ed and other realtors, in my opinion, is his personality. He is very caring about the work he does for you. He is helpful and does not pressure you in any way. I enjoy working with Ed as he is patient, understanding, kind, and yet, very professional. His reputation for professionalism and responsiveness toward clients is beyond expectations and highly appreciated. Thank you Ed for all you do!! Your track record for selling all your listed home is phenomenal! You Rock! Bobbi S. Barnes-Hines

I have great confidence in Ed!

Review for Member: Ed Giffels
ZillowVERIFIED When we first started working with Ed we were still living in Florida but planning to move to Kalamazoo, MI. Our search for a new home started with a trip to Kalamazoo, this is when we were introduced to Ed and told him what we thought we wanted in a house and where we thought we wanted it. Immediately, he started looking for homes that fit what we told him. Throughout our search Ed always made sure that the houses he showed us had the features most important to us. He didn't waste our time showing us things that he knew didn't fit our needs. He made our search a pleasant experience. Ed is very personable and friendly, if he was going to be a little late he always called, he is well versed in all the legalities, the local lore and color, the neighborhoods and their suitability and he always has time for his clients. I would not ever hesitate to work with Ed again or to recommend his services to my family and friends.

ZillowVERIFIED I am a complete and total property virgin, and really needed to rely heavily on my realtor's expertise. Ed was great about walking me through everything, and patiently answering even my stupidest questions. Ed also did a wonderful job of keeping the discussions rational- and was a wonderful counter-check to my knee-jerk and emotional responses!

ZillowVERIFIED Ed Giffels was extremely patient and accommodating. My husband and I were in a desperate situation to find a house and Ed would meet us over the lunch hour, evening hours, and/or weekends. We looked at over 100 houses in the Kalamazoo, Plainwell, and Richland neighborhoods. He was knowledgeable of the areas. He offered helpful information in regards to structure, design, and maintenance of houses. He was forthright in his opinions. He brought humor, sarcasm, and encouragement when it was needed.

ZillowVERIFIED We couldn't have gotten this home without Ed. He made time for us to view this house about three days after it popped on the market. We made an offer the next day at which time there was already another offer on the table. He talked to us and let us know we had one shot at making it happen. Luckily our offer was accepted. We went through many hurdles including high radon, a low appraisal and through it all Ed was by our side and got us the deal we needed. I would highly recommend Ed to anyone who is looking for a quality realtor who takes his time to find out what you want and then makes it happen. We chose Ed based on another's referral and were glad we did.

ZillowVERIFIED Ed was consistently communicating with us during the sale of our home and the purchase of a new one. His expertise and knowledge of the local market was evident. If necessary he consulted within his strong network to provide accurate information before moving forward with a decision. Ed's honest and straight-forwarded style of doing business went above our expectations.

Review for Member: Ed Giffels
ZillowVERIFIED Ed Giffles is one of the best Realtors that I have ever been associated with. He is the consummate professional and is excellent at his craft. I hired Ed to sell a house for me about a year ago. Before I had met Ed, I had gone with another realtor and it sat on the market for just under a year. Within three weeks of Ed listing my home, he had an offer and it sold. Since that time, I have recommended Ed to many of my friends neighbors and relatives over the last two years. He has over delivered on every opportunity. His reputation, work ethic, knowledge and professionalism are above reproach. He sets the standard for others to emulate. I would recommend Ed, hands down, for any Real Estate transaction. He is that good!
