ZillowVERIFIEDThis is the second time Ive partnered with Ed at the Slavis Group, and I can say with no hesitation you will not find a more dedicated, attentive, and knowledgable team to support your real estate project. With Eds help it took less than a month to go from looking at investment properties in the DMV to closing on a house in Alexandria VA. In that time Ed and his team provided all the information I could possibly need, helped me find financing solutions, and negotiated one of the best real estate deals Ive been a part of. 13 out of 10, would highly recommend!

ZillowVERIFIED Edward is a fantastic realtor to work with. Will definitely go back to him again. He was very professional, patient, and got us the best deal possible. His knowledge of the process was very reassuring throughout the experience, and he was keen to follow up after the sale with helping tie up loose ends. Great guy.

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Edward was an absolute pleasure from start to finish! We were living overseas during the entire process, which could have been incredibly stressful. Fortunately, Edward had extensive experience with long-distance clients and coordinated everything virtually using detailed video walkthroughs and seamless digital tools. What we appreciated most was his easygoing, approachable manner combined with refreshing, honest feedback about the properties. He never tried to make a quick sale; instead, he gave us candid insights that saved us from making blind mistakes. Thanks to his local expertise and digital-first approach, we felt completely confident buying our home from thousands of miles away! We highly recommend Edward and his outstanding team to anyone looking to buy or sellaEUR"they are truly top-tier professionals!

ZillowVERIFIED The Slavis Group is a must for tackling your home buying needs! My wife and I needed a realtor to help us with our journey and engaged Edward and his team. They delivered in every aspect, from educating us on the process to property showings to final closing. We highly recommend contacting The Slavis Group before you jump into the real estate market!

ZillowVERIFIED Edward and his team were amazing in helping us sell our house. Excellent service top to bottom. Edward was always available if we had questions and provided weekly videos giving us updates on the sale of the home and feedback received from open houses. We are happy that we used the Slavis group to sell our home because they made the entire process smooth and we got top dollar for our house in a down market.

ZillowVERIFIED We had a great experience working with Edward Slavis & LPT Realty! Edward took our priorities seriously, guided us through the entire process efficiently, kept us updated with extremely clear & regular communication, and kept a very positive attitude throughout the process. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, our home sold very quickly and above our asking. We couldnt be happier with the results and highly recommend Edward to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

ZillowVERIFIED Edward Slavis and his amazing team helped me turn an unexpected relocation into a fantastic homebuying experience! I had a short time to find a home, and Edwards experience, extensive network, and technology tools helped me quickly narrow the scope of what I was looking for, and I found the perfect home within just a few weeks. His suggestions and guidance on everything from funding options to cleaning services were right on the mark! Edward took a personal interest in making sure every detail leading up to closing was perfect, including facilitating a thorough inspection of my new property, and ensuring all repairs were made correctly. I couldnt be happier with my new home, and the Slavis Group made it happen! You cant go wrong with Edward and this talented group of professionals.

ZillowVERIFIED Ed and the Slavis Group helped us sell our home in April. In our first conversation he asked what we wanted in a realtor. We said we wanted 1) someone who would understand us as clients and respect our priorities and preferences and 2) clear, proactive communication. We got both and could not have been happier with the service we received. Ed and his team made the process as low-stress as possible. Our house sold more quickly than we expected and for a higher price than we expected. It doesn't get any better than that. We hope Ed stays in the business a long time so that we can use him again in the future.

ZillowVERIFIED Edward and team were great, super professional, communicative and responsible. They acted quickly and got my condo sold. I was pretty much hands off and they took care of everything while explaining everything along the way. Edward is very knowledgeable and really thoughtful in his approach which I really appreciated. I felt like I was in good hands, Edward is super trustworthy and listened to my concerns when I had them. Highly recommend!

ZillowVERIFIED Edward Slavis is the best realtor I have ever worked with and we have used him to buy and sell multiple homes. He always acts with the upmost professionalism and his knowledge of real estate is second to none. I would recommend him to anyone for purchasing or selling a home in the DC and Northern Virginia areas.

ZillowVERIFIED My partner and I sincerely couldnt imagine having worked with anyone besides Ed and The Slavis Group to close on our home. Ed was professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated throughout the entire process, especially considering the challenges we as clients presented with being spread across time zones and not always available for viewings. Ed and his team went above and beyond to understand our unique needs. Ed visited and recorded homes for us when we weren't available to view, he was readily available to answer our questions, and provided valuable guidance tailored to our situation. Eds expertise in the local market is unmatched and he ensured we got the best possible deal. I wholeheartedly recommend Ed and The Slavis Group to anyone seeking to work with the best the DMV has to offer. Thank you, Ed, for your outstanding service!

ZillowVERIFIED If are you buying or selling a home in the DC area, you need Edward representing you. I've now done 3 transactions with Edward in NW DC, and he has consistently delivered outstanding results. He knows the market, understands how to be competitive in a challenging environment, and how to close the deal. He's a strategic thinker, which is essential in a market with multiple bids, cash offers, escalations, waiving contingencies, etc. He is the reason we were able to win our DC house in a highly competitive market (against 7 other bids) and also sell 2 properties above our desired list prices. Highly recommend Edward for both buyer/seller representation.

ZillowVERIFIED We worked with Edward to purchase a property in January 2024. We knew that he was very knowledgeable about the DC area, but he also has significant experience and insights about the surrounding VA and MD areas as well. He assisted us at every step of the process and gave us great counsel and strategic advice about how to bid, how to win, and how to work through the settlement process. And he spent tons of time and energy helping us work through some repairs we had to get done. Could not recommend more highly!

ZillowVERIFIED Edward was recommended to us by a friend, and we are really glad that he represented us for the sale of our townhouse in Springfield, VA. We were moving cross-country, and Edward did an excellent job handling repairs, getting the house painted, and staging it beautifully. We cannot emphasize how fabulous the staging was - we could hardly recognize our own house, and we thought it really brought out the home's positive attributes. The house went on the market on Thursday and we had a great offer by Sunday. Edward explained all of the nuances and steps associated with closing, and enabled closing to happen within a month of us receiving the offer. Edward was always responsive and we felt that he adapted to our desired amount of communication, which we appreciated. Our neighbor was selling his house around the same time as us and his took a lot longer to sell and sold for less. We thought Edward did a fantastic job of pricing, marketing, and selling the place. We spoke to a few other agents before going with Edward, and are confident that other agents would not have been able to ensure a sale at the price we got in the timeframe that Edward did.

ZillowVERIFIED Ed Slavis and his team have helped me buy once and sell twice. For all three transactions he gave me great advice that helped me make more money. His team also works hard to make the sale and purchase process as smooth as possible through regular, friendly communication. I cannot recommend Slavis Group highly enough.

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Ed Slavis as our realtor, and we couldn't be more happy with the level of service and expertise he provided throughout the entire home buying process. From when we first talked with Ed, he understood what we were looking for and genuinely cared about helping us find the perfect home. Ed's knowledge of the local real estate market and how to best achieve a winning offer was exceptional. Ed thought outside the box in order to ensure we could utilize our VA loan, without presenting it as a risk to the sellers. His attention to detail and thoroughness throughout the entire process ensured that we had all the information necessary to make informed decisions. Throughout the closing process, Ed was incredibly organized and proactive. He stayed on top of deadlines, coordinated with us, and ensured a smooth transaction from start to finish. Ed had to work with the VA inspector and ensure required improvements were made before closing and to the satisfaction of the inspector. This made the experience much easier for us since we were 500 miles away. I highly recommend Ed to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and trustworthy realtor. He exceeded our expectations and made the entire home buying experience enjoyable and stress-free. His passion for helping people find their dream homes is evident in his work, and were grateful to have had him as our realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED When my family and I needed to relocate from Japan to the Washington D.C. area, we turned to the Slavis Group to help us find a home from 13 time zones away. Needless to say, Edward and his team did a phenomenal job. Edward is a realtor who knows the area, knows the market, and has a wide array of connections. Furthermore, he brings an energy and work ethic that are second to none, often conducting video conferences with us at odd hours and on his personal time. He helped us navigate a hot market and ensured that we landed the home we were looking for without overpaying. Additionally, he helped us find a mortgage broker, home insurance policy and title company to fit our familys needs. If you are looking to purchase a home in D.C. or the surrounding area, I highly recommend Edward and his team!

ZillowVERIFIED Edward and his team are true real estate professionals. They made selling our row home easy, from the beautiful photos and marketing materials to determining the perfect list price. As a result, we got multiples offers in the first week and Edward helped us to secure almost $50k over asking for our home. Simply put, the whole process was easy and stress free and thats the best any seller can hope for! I would highly recommend The Slavis Group to anyone buying or selling in the DC area.

ZillowVERIFIED Buying a home is stressful, especially in a competitive market like this, and then add in the fact that were first time home buyers. While it seems like the odds were stacked against us, Steven Chen with The Slavis Group, made the home buying process easy and we are officially home owners! Steven was readily available for house tours, phone calls, emails, and all of the in between that comes with buying a house. He listened to what we were looking for and was in constant communication about houses available and coming soon. Stevens knowledge of the the ins and outs of the market helped to set us up for success when we were ready to put in an offer on our dream home, and we could not be more grateful! We highly recommend Steven for anyone looking to buy a house!

Review for Member: Edward Slavis
ZillowVERIFIED Ed Slavis provided exceptional service in the purchase of my new home. This is the second home I have purchased with Ed and I was reminded of how invaluable his knowledge of the market, and his attention to detail are in making the purchase of a home seamless. This purchase was complicated by the fact that my wife and I are stationed overseas and conducted this entire transaction online and through Skype/Whatsapp calls. The 5 hour time difference I thought would be a greater hindrance, however Ed made himself and his team available to facilitate this purchase across this difficult time difference. Ed is an incredible asset for any one looking to buy or sell their home. I have purchased two homes and sold one, all with Eds help and guidance, and I cannot speak highly enough about the professionalism, expertise, and service that Ed and his team bring to their customers.

ZillowVERIFIED During our home search Edward crafted a winning offer among multiple bids. His clauses stand out with sellers. Then when a last minute question on our loan application threatened our closing date he was able to find a solution that was simpler for us and preserved our great loan terms. Lots of Realtors can show you properties, but you want Edward when you need someone to get you across the line. Because of him I can write this review from our new house!

Review for Member: Edward Slavis
ZillowVERIFIED Edward Slavis represented us in our search for a single family home in the DMV area during the fall and winter of 2021. We were looking for a 4+BR, open concept, single-family home with enough space for two home offices, a dedicated gym space, and an outdoor are for 2(+) Great Danes as well as room to entertain. We also wanted to be inside the beltway or as close/commutable to D.C. as possible. We were willing to make some improvements over time, but were not considering "fixer-uppers" and teardowns. Our budget, given the limited inventory and impending rising interest rates was... we'll say... optimistic. Early in the process, Edward and his team urged us to be patient and to really become familiar with the areas we wanted to focus on. We visited dozens of houses, and Edward never failed to set up a showing. He was open-minded and optimistic about our chances. He didn't discourage our curiosity about a particularly quirky custom-built short sale, but cautioned us on the risks. He entertained our foray into townhome developments and provided sage council on structuring offers in a competitive buyer's market. His home inspector saved us from the disaster of a $1M+ mistake. We ultimately submitted three offers before we finally found our "Goldilocks" home: 5 bedrooms plus a dedicated gym room and main floor home office with over an acre for the dogs and a 20 minute commute to the Pentagon. Again, the inspection gave us everything we needed to know about issues that might arise. And most importantly, Edward and his finance partner ran a shrewd negotiation to beat out another very motivated buyer. We honestly could not be any happier with the result! I've had agents who merely facilitated the paperwork and I've had agents who steered me the wrong way to try to line their own pockets. If you're looking for a results-driven agent who will guide and advise you patiently and save the pressure for the folks on the other side of the table in order to seal the best possible deal for you, then Edward is a fantastic choice.

ZillowVERIFIED We loved working with Edward to find our new home in DC! Despite expecting it to take months, we were able to find a condo we loved within a week of looking at properties with Edward. We trusted his judgement completely and appreciated all the effort he put into negotiating fair terms for us with the sellers agent. He also was great at explaining the entire home-buying process, so we knew what to expect. He was also able to recommend a great contractor to get new flooring in our new home! We highly recommend Edward!

ZillowVERIFIED When I told a friend that we were looking to sell our condo he strongly recommended I talk to Edward Slavis who had been excellent to work with. Edward did an excellent market analysis which helped us make decisions about the level of painting and remodeling we would do prior to selling. Due to the excellent analysis and recommendations provided by Edward we were able to sell our condo for a higher price and more than recoup the cost of our upgrades. Edward was excellent to work with. Always very timely and took care of all the details. I would highly recommend Edward Slavis.

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Edward on selling my house was smooth and seamless. He was highly responsive, and very honest through the entire process which resulted in an above asking price offer on my condo the first week on the market.

Throughout the process, we were impressed with his deep knowledge of the DC market, skillful and efficient management of every aspect of the process, and excellent communication skills. Even after closing, he went above and beyond to help us arrange contractors to get our new home into shape. Plus, hes just a great guy. I cant recommend him highly enough.

ZillowVERIFIED Looking for help in buying a home in DC? I have just the person and team to recommend. As a first-time homebuyer, I was looking for someone to help me better understand the ins and outs of the DC property market, assist in identifying properties that met my search criteria, and walk alongside me throughout the buying process once I found what I was looking for. Edward Slavis was able to do all of that and more. His generosity in sharing in his wealth of knowledge, patience in answering the multitude of questions I had, as well as addressing any concerns that came up in a timely manner along the way are only some of the many qualities I appreciated in having Edward on my team. Many thanks to Edward and his team for being a part of mine!

ZillowVERIFIED Edward was a wonderful broker. We are first time homebuyers, had a lot of questions, and took a few tries to figure out exactly what we wanted. We saw a wide range of properties, and Edward was always available to show us the place quickly. He has fantastic connections to complement the process, introduced us to a builder for potential renovation projects and has a lot of first hand knowledge himself. We were looking for something where we could invest some sweat equity, and Edward helped us to understand what was worth it, how much it might cost, and when we should pass. We put in 5 or 6 offers before finding something we absolutely love. Very highly recommended!

He was patient and professional in guiding us through the entire process -from finding a lender to installing solar panels on our new home. His knowledge and experience helped us sell our old home and buy our dream house. Edwards really understands the local market. He priced our home higher than we thought we could get for it. We sold our old place close to our asking and bought the new one below asking, so that was nice too. I would recommend Edward to anyone (and already haveaEUR" he represented my coworker this year too!)

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Edward was easily the best decision I could have ever made. Edward came very highly recommended from mutual friends and clearly did not disappoint. From our very first conversation, he was receptive to what I wanted and provided me with lots of support. As a first time homeowner I was nervous about the process and I wanted to make sure I understood absolutely every single caveat during the purchase. Edward was never pushy, and eagerly explained the pros and cons of different offers to me so that I could make a fully informed decision that was perfect for me. He was extremely professional. I wish I could give him 5+ stars!

Review for Member: Edward Slavis
ZillowVERIFIED Edward Slavis helped me purchase a home over 5 years ago. At the time I was stationed outside of the NCR and Ed helped me search for, visit and negotiate the purchase of a home all while I was living in Texas. Three years later I was re-stationed and Ed managed my property for me. Twice we had clients who had to leave early for personnel/professional reasons and Ed was able to find a new tenant without ever missing a month of rent. I never had to lift a finger as Ed and his team always took care of everything and always gave me plenty of information to make good decisions. Recently I decided to sell and Ed and his team once again stepped up. In less than 6 weeks, we had tenants moved out, the place cleaned/fixed up, staged, listed, shown, offer accepted and closed! Once again, I never lifted a finger while Ed and his time expertly took care of EVERY aspect of the transaction. I could not be more grateful for Ed and his team who are consummate professionals and help you during a very stressful situation. I could not recommend him any higher and hope allow Ed to represent you during any real estate transaction.

ZillowVERIFIED This is not our first time using Edward. After having such a good experience buying a condo in D.C. with Edward's assistance, we decided to use him again while selling a condo in Adams Morgan this April. Prior to selling, we were renting the condo to a tenant who's lease was expiring at the end of March. Just as our tenant moved out, the pandemic (COVID-19) reached D.C. to potentially put a damper on our plans to sell. After many discussions with Edward, he advised us to list our condo even with the Stay-At-Home Order and we are so glad that we took his advice. We listed our place on a Friday and by Sunday we had 3 offers. We accepted an offer above asking and just finished settlement last week. Thank you Edward for your knowledge of the market and wonderful advice!

ZillowVERIFIED We had a great experience working with Edward and his team! For us as first-time home buyers, Edward did a great job adapting to our pace and needs as our buyer agent. We initially connected with Edward through a spontaneous Zillow interest form submitted on a Saturday night; he connected with us by phone within the hour and showed us our first property by the very next morning! My fiancA(C) and I were excited about a number of properties in the early days of our search, and Edward made himself available both for tours and just to discuss the home-buying process throughout those first couple of days. We were a bit discouraged after our first offer was unsuccessful, but Edward encouraged us to keep at it, even visiting homes for us on days we had to work and sending us narrated videos of his tour of the property. We had another offer accepted just a couple days later! He also helped us manage the contract to close process smoothly while we were traveling for the holidays. He worked with us to get our lender and inspection lined up promptly and spent time with us by phone reviewing documents with us to ensure we were comfortable with what we were signing and understood how the process worked. He was helpful, informative, and a pleasure to work with aEUR" we definitely recommend!

Edward made the house buying process seamless to us so that we could concentrate on life. Thank you.

ZillowVERIFIED Ed Slavis was AMAZING! This was my first home sale and he helped me thru the process of selling my home from the very beginning, walking me thru each step that was going to take place. He took the time to really understand my little neighborhood in Arlington VA and he took extra care to get to know the details of my house. Let me tell you, I had a 100 year old home that has some quarks and challenges. Ed noticed these immediately and we talked about how we can sell the home around those challenges. We made a few adjustments along the way to make the help the buyers over come these quarks. In the end I fell like I got a great price for my home and would be HAPPY to work with Ed again, and truly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED Choosing Edward Slavis as our realtor was the single best decision we made when we planned to sell our condominium in Alexandria, VA. If you are thinking about selling your home or condo in the D.C. region, you should contact Edward and look no further. Throughout the process Edward demonstrated his local knowledge, responsiveness, and pure skill to get us the best possible deal. Edward worked quickly to have our home prepared and listed while offering us expert advice. He is clearly skilled in his craft. In the end, our home was on the market for one week, we received 5 offers above asking price (in November!) and our condominium sold for a record price. Did I mention that we were in Japan throughout the process and conducted all our communications across a 13-hour time difference? We trusted Edward as a former Marine and based on recommendations we read about him. My wife and I always felt he was in our corner and his advice could be relied upon. If you are reading this, wondering about the market, or who to choose, you will not be disappointed.

ZillowVERIFIED I cannot say enough good things about Edward and his team. As a first-time homebuyer at age 47, I was a bit skittish about the whole process. Edward was patient and explained things as many times as I needed to hear them. We made offers on three houses before finding the final one to close and each time was a bit of a disappointment, but also gave me an opportunity to learn something new. I wanted a local real estate profession who took their time and represented my needs, rather than going with one of the big firms. Edward Slavis exceeded all my expectations and I will work with him again should I ever buy another home.

ZillowVERIFIED I was a first time home buyer and was not sure what to expect. Came across a house for sale, called the listed number and Edward Slavis answered. Edward met us the next day at a property that we wanted to see. He took time to sit down with us and walk through the entire home-buying process aEUR" from down payment assistance programs, pre-approval, to house hunting and closing costs. It was tremendously helpful and gave us enough confidence to move forward with him as our realtor. When it came time to start looking, Edward would always make time for us on the weekends or evenings to do showings and if he could not make the showings, he would have Anthony to do the showings. The first home that matched our must-have list went totally astray and throughout that disaster Edward kept his cool while I was losing mines. He constantly assured me that a wrong or misguided discussion would not be made. We finally found a better home that matched our must-have list and Edward helped us make a competitive and winning offer. Both Edward and Anthony were extremely responsive throughout the process and have continued to be helpful after closing. I can't say enough wonderful things about The Slavis GroupA|S&G Realty. The Slavis GroupA|S&G Realty EXCEEDED our expectations. Edward & Anthony both really know the aEUR~bones of homes, resale, inspections, specs, etc. I felt so comfortable with the The Slavis GroupA|S&G Realty. A++!! LOVE OUR HOME!

ZillowVERIFIED I would gladly recommend Edward to anyone looking to sell their home. Edward and his team were incredibly helpful in the selling of my home. I have moved overseas and was worried about the process of selling the property without being present. Edward and his team handled the showings all while keeping me in the loop while living in England. Their professionalism and ability to handle the challenge of having a client overseas with a 5 hour time difference makes it very easy for me to highly recommend Edward.

ZillowVERIFIED Michael was awesome to work with, from our very first meeting through the search, closing, and move-in. He was friendly and warm, immediately putting me at ease as a first time homebuyer. He explained the market, listened attentively to what I wanted, and responded quickly when I changed my timeline a few weeks after our initial conversations. He found places that met all of my requirements, was patient and provided a good sounding board as we visited them, even visited some without me when I had to work, and then helped me understand next steps when I picked THE ONE. I really appreciated his thorough and understanding approach. He was never pushy, didnt try to oversell me, and gave me the space I needed to make this big decision. I wouldnt have wanted to work with anyone else! I highly recommend Michael Sebastiani and everyone else at The Slavis Group. They were absolutely a pleasure to work with in a tough market and on a shortened timeline.

ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I are first-time homebuyers and met Edward for the first time several months before ultimately purchasing our home. He took time to sit down with us and walk through the entire home-buying process -- from pre-approval and down payment assistance programs to house hunting and closing costs. It was tremendously helpful and gave us enough confidence to move forward with him as our realtor. When it came time to start looking, Edward would always make time for us on the weekends to do showings, sometimes spending an hour-plus at a property going over the details we should be considering before deciding to make an offer. We finally found a home that matched our must-have list and Edward helped us make a competitive and winning offer. And when our accelerated closing process occurred during a long-planned overseas vacation of his, he made sure we were in good hands with his colleague Anthony. Both of them were extremely responsive throughout the process and have continued to be helpful after closing. We will be recommending Edward and his team to all of our friends in the future!

ZillowVERIFIED Edward helped my wife and I purchase our first home in Washington, D.C. and we were incredibly impressed by his customer service and expertise. From the beginning, Edward sat down with us to explain the complicated process of buying a home. Although we were not aggressive homebuyers, Edward remained patient with us and continued to share with us homes that might fit our family needs. When we found the one we loved, Edward worked tirelessly to create a powerful offer that was accepted. As Edward always explained, it is not about the highest offer but the STRONGEST offer. And even though he was across the country on a personal vacation, he was incredibly responsive and made sure our offer was accepted amongst nearly a dozen others. During the contract phase, Edward was diligent in making sure we had everything we needed and assisted us throughout the closing process. Even after the purchase of our home, Edward has remained in touch to ensure a seamless transition as we work with general contractors to make the house our home. Thank you Edward and group!

ZillowVERIFIED Edward and his team helped us find and purchase our first home, and I cannot say enough good things about them. Edward knows the DC market very well, and he (and Anthony) were always available to join us for viewings, talking us through the potential advantages and disadvantages of purchasing a specific condo, and never pushing or rushing us into a decision. We found the place we wanted to bid on around Christmas, and he was fully available throughout the holiday period to help us prepare the most competitive offer, and to work with the lender, the seller's agent, the title company, the inspector, and all the other parties to make sure we got every step completed smoothly and in time. When we hit a very unexpected snag that was threatening to derail the deal, Edward pursued every possible option to resolve it, and made sure we closed on the date we had initially scheduled. He has a vast network of very helpful contacts in the real estate market, and, upon the completion of the purchase, he got us in touch with a number of contractors to assist us with the renovations we are currently planning. In short, I cannot recommend Edward enough, and am very grateful to him for his help!

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I worked with Edward and Anthony to buy our condo in Capital Hill in November. We were considering not having an agent since it was new construction but we are glad that we used Edward and his team. The building was almost sold out and Edward negotiated a deal that was under the list price. During the open house, there was a table that we really liked and Edward managed to work that table into the deal which was a huge bonus for my wife. He helped us through the home inspection and pointed out items that we would not have picked up on. We also used Edward to try sell our current condo. Before we listed he told us that December was not the best time to sell and that there was a chance that we would not get the offer we were looking for. After about 3 weeks on the market we decided to rent our condo and Edward was completely supportive of the decision. He even offered to help securing the tenant. Overall, Edward is a professional, very knowledgeable of the current status of the market and he truly wants the best for his clients.

ZillowVERIFIED Edward guided us through all of the steps of the home buying process, dropping everything to go to last minute showings, finding an exceptionally thorough inspector, negotiating an amazing deal for us, and when our home buying process turned Kafkaesque due to hidden issues in the seller's side, Edward and his team navigated the situation carefully, providing us such regular updates. We relied on Edward's recommendations for choosing our lender, and we would not have our home now if not for the work that lender put into resolving the seller's situation. Edward also provided excellent recommendations for contractors to help us get the home move-in ready, all of whom were helpful, fast, and thorough. I can't imagine what would have happened if we'd gone with anyone else.
