Ed Greable & Company
Your Real Estate Resource

“Ed was an invaluable resource for me and my wife during our home search. He knows the Somerville/Medford/Arlington/Cambridge area really well and knows almost all the "players" working in real estate in the area. He listened to our suggestions, knew when to steer us out of potential pitfalls, and referred us to an excellent loan officer and real es … tate attorney. And he certainly dealt with our various idiosyncracies with patience and humor! There's no way around it--buying a home is a complicated process, especially if you're a first-time home buyer. Ed made the whole thing a lot less stressful, and a lot more fun. From all my interactions with him, I get the impression that Ed has a genuine interest in his work and the people he's working with--the exact opposite of the used car salesman mentality. Thanks in large part to Ed, we now own a beautiful home. We couldn't be happier with our choice in a buyer's agent” Read More ▾

“I just closed on my first condo yesterday (I'm officially an adult)! I didn't start with Ed, but I am glad I ended up finding him via Yelp. He was very low pressure and honest about every one of the (what seemed like) hundreds of properties we looked at. Knowing I was a first time home buyer he was patient and explained every little detail from A t … o Z while offering objective suggestions. I've told just about everyone that will listen about Ed and how pleasant the experience was...I just hope my friends listen! I hate hearing about people who have had let downs or feel like the person isn't working 'for' them. Ed goes above and beyond on everything! He even came to my closing and sat in a hot room with no AC while I signed/initialed over and over (again, what seemed like hundreds of times). One thing I can't stress enough is how flexible and patient he is. I work nights so would ask that Ed only call me between certain hours unless a dream house hit the market. When my bank was dragging their feet with a mass housing loan...he suggested his friend who was a financial Speedy Gonzales and nailed everything down quickly and was also always available/patient! I could go on and on, but really just wanted to write more than just "he's great" as a review. I am giving him all five stars here before I go and see if he has an account on angieslist... I found Ed via Yelp, if you're reading this I'm guessing you're in the market.  Trust me, you will not be disappointed!  So send him an email and meet, what's the worst that can happen?!  Also, protip: there's always street parking behind their office if you have a Cambridge sticker” Read More ▾

“Fantastic, Professional, and knows Cambridge/Somerville/­Brookline very well.  Knows the agents, knows the attorneys. Very personable, very patient. Used two other brokers before Ed, but very glad I switched. He's the top rated agent in Cambridge for a reason. Excellent at home valuation, better than my own models (and I'm a quant). Knows really fa … ntastic home inspectors, contractors, etc. Was successful at negotiating down purchase price (for me, a buyer) after home inspection despite a very tight market following a great home inspection with fairly few flaws. Knows how to negotiate, when and how to add additions like larger deposits. He keeps track of the process, so even when I slipped up, he was there to make sure everything went on schedule. Very active, very responsive. Tactfully tracks down slow to respond seller's agents. Cannot say enough about this guy. Have recommended him to all my friends. Will use him again when we go to sell several years down the line. Would give more stars if they were available” Read More ▾

“Ed was a recommendation to my wife, Maria, and I in 2005 to help us find a condo. Ed was diligent in his efforts to find us a home that suited our needs in location, style, budget, and many other attributes. He was patient with our odd behavior and tactics to find a home. We sought out Ed again in 2009 to help us sell the same condo as well as help … us find a new single family house. He was knowledgeable on the market, knowledgeable in the processs of trying to close on two places simultaneously, and as always friendly and professional making the experience seemless. I highly recommend Ed for anyone looking to buy or sell a home and am happy to call Ed and his family our friends after our successful working relationship” Read More ▾

“I can't say enough positive things about Ed. He's personable, responsive, and honest. He truly has your best interest at heart and will go out of his way to make sure you end up in the perfect place for you. In what is too often a painful process, Ed walked me through buying my first condo step by step and we even had some fun along the way. Ed is … truly the best of the best! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home” Read More ▾

“Ed is, to put it simply, the best. My husband and I sought Ed out after finding him on Yelp. We were first time home-buyers, and we had been looking on and off for a home for a few years. We were also dealing in a competitive market and price point. Ed was fantastic to work with - he found us lots of options, and really payed attention to what we l … iked. He gave us honest feedback about the properties we looked at, and really kept us from feeling desperate - he was always confident and clear that we'd find a home at a price that worked for us and one that we loved. And we did! Within two months of starting to work with Ed, we closed on our very first condo. We absolutely love it. We can't appreciate enough Ed's knowledge, recommendations, professionalism, patience, availability and sense of humor. He made a such huge difference for us. If you are looking for an agent, please, please don't hesitate to contact Ed! He has our highest recommendation and gratitude” 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 ▾

“Okay, this review has been a long time coming. Ed represented us twice, once when we didn't end up buying, and once when we did. His advice was good, and he made the experience as easy as it could be. On the first occasion that we were house hunting, Ed did most of the groundwork. I was flying back and forth from California, and needed someone t … o get inside and judge the houses for me. Circumstances took us out of the housing market, but Ed did a great  job. He knew the neighborhoods well and pointed out the ups and downs of the houses. The second time, we were already renting in the area, and we did a lot of research by ourselves to find the place. Once we found the place we wanted, we brought Ed on to help us seal the deal. He found comps, recommended an excellent mortgage agent,  worked with our attorney, got contractors to fix things for the bank and helped us deal with a a miserable set of sellers who delayed closing and literally ripped out parts of the house that they wanted to keep as memorabilia. He did everything right, and was  a real help through the entire experience” Read More ▾
