“y wife, son and I moved to Cambridge from NY over a year ago. The idea was to rent first then find a town we would want to live and jump into the housing market as first time buyers. We had not been pre-approved and only a few ideas of towns we thought we would enjoy living in...then I walked past one of Ed's listings and called the number on the s … ign. Ed was gracious with his time from the get go, he said the listing was in contract and asked if there was anything he could do to help with our search as a buyer's agent. He was easy to correspond with and always returned calls and emails. We met in his office and he was an incredible wealth of information along with dedicated professionalism. We took the whole journey with Ed, the mortgage pre-approval process, target markets, house hunting on weekends and nights all the way to our closing...oh, did I mention this was during the worst winter in a hundred years? He was always open to us changing our focus or exploring another town and made sure we understood pros and cons up front. He answered my pregnant wife's many, many questions with patience and made the process of house hunting with an 18 month old stress free. We slipped and slid our way through a handful of open houses and feel very lucky to have found a place we could call home in North Waltham. He handled all the heavy lifting and his extended team are some of the best in the business. The whole experience was really positive and he made himself available to us from beginning to end. We are so thankful to have found Ed, all his advice and insight helped us tremendously as first time home buyers” Read More ▾
“Ed was qutie patient working with us during our 8 month search for a new home. In fact, at one point (about 2 months into the process after having visited one property multiple times) we met up to make an offer on a place and he actually talked us out of, saying it wasn't the right place for us and that the right place would come along. And he was … right. We love the place we finally purchased” Read More ▾
“Heather Ferrari was absolutely wonderful to work with. We can't recommend her enough! She was very knowledgeable of the local market, set up many house hunting tours and gave us excellent advice to make our offers more attractive to the sellers. If it wasn't for that advice, we wouldn't have won the bid on the house we ultimately purchased. She is … such a nice person and really listened and paid attention to what we were looking for. Whenever we had questions, she quickly found the answers. Without a doubt, she is VERY good at her job and we were fortunate to have her on our side” Read More ▾
“Alissa was excellent to work with! She was very responsive with all of my questions and checked in with me throughout the process. This was my first time buying and she made everything a lot easier than I had thought it was going to be and was able to connect me with the right people at every step. I highly recommend working with her!”
“We found Ed online and we're so glad we worked with him! My husband and I were first-time home buyers and Ed couldn't have been more helpful. He patiently answers all questions and he's always incredibly responsive and professional. He'll give you his honest opinion and make valid and useful recommendations. Ed also has excellent insight regarding … the housing market and communities around Boston. I truly recommend working with Ed. Especially in a hot market, it is so important to work with a trustworthy and knowledgable agent. We would choose Ed again in a heartbeat” Read More ▾
“As a pair of anxious first time homebuyers, working with Ed was the best choice we could have made! He was extremely helpful, knowledgable, respectful, and honest. We found him on Yelp, after asking all of our friends for recommendations and no one had had a positive experience with their realtors. Well, we had an absolutely positive experience wit … h Ed. You truly feel as if you're his only client, as he is never too busy to answer a silly question, or to explain something for the 5th time, or to go see any house. He came with us to any open houses and showings that we wanted, helped us focus on everything from cities/neighborhoods (when we first met with him, our only criteria was "nearish to Cambridge or maybe IN Cambridge?!"), to the style of house (we wanted anything from a condo to a multi-family). At no point did he roll his eyes at our naivety or laugh at us. Through Ed, we were also connected with a great team, from his recommendations for mortgage broker and lawyer. We were quickly pre-approved and ended up closing on our cute little single family Medford colonial about 3 months after our initial meeting with Ed. We can't wait for spring to throw a housewarming party, play some horseshoes in the amazing backyard, and have Ed bring the beer” Read More ▾
“Ed came highly recommended to us by good friends. We gave him a shot and we knew right away that we wanted him on our side. My husband and I changed our minds on where we wanted to buy every other day. Ed was so patient with us. He figured out exactly what we wanted after a couple of visits with him. We looked at houses every weekend for a month or … so. He was always willing to work with our schedule. When we found the house we wanted, Ed made the process a breeze” Read More ▾
“Ed is phenomenal! We were competing in a very difficult market (my father looked incredibly confused when I explained to him that homes in Boston actually sold for asking price, or significantly above) and Ed was extremely patient with us and gave us 110% throughout what was a pretty long process. Ed was extremely thoughtful about the advice he … provided and never let us fall into the "hype" of the early 2013 market. He thought carefully about valuations and in the end, we are in a condo that we love and we paid a very fair price (and in fact found out that we won despite not being the highest bidders). Ed was very responsive to e-mails and phone calls (and being first-time home buyers, we pestered him a lot!!), met up with us at just about every open house we went to, set up tours for us, stayed through the entire home inspection, and was generally extremely "present" for us. By the end, Ed felt more like a trusted uncle rather than our broker (he even bought us a housewarming gift when we moved in!). If we stay in the area, we'll definitely use Ed again and we recommend him without reservations” Read More ▾
