In my view, being a successful Realtor© isn’t about piling up huge sales figures or being the number one agent in the office. It’s about you – about your transaction and my ability to help make it happen. It’s about handling each person who places his or her trust  in me with the care, respect and skill I would  provide for a family member. 

You’ll find I’m not a high-pressure salesman. I prefer a more relaxed style that nonetheless pays attention to detail, arms you with the critical facts you need to make good decisions, and guides you through a successful transaction. 

And you’ll also benefit from keen marketing skills (perfected in my ad agency days) to help your property get snapped right up, and sharp negotiating talents (honed bargaining with shrewd Hollywood big-wigs) to get you the highest price if you're a seller – and the lowest if you're a buyer. Your goal is my goal. 

I was born and raised in New York City, but moved to Washington after college and have lived in the heart of DC ever since. I have a degree in Fine Arts, a passion for art, architecture and design, and an enormous appreciation for DC’s distinctive neighborhoods. My wife, Rita, and I live in an historic Adams Morgan townhouse which our cat graciously allows us to share.

I serve all of Metropolitan DC and the close-in Maryland suburbs. I have extensive experience with both single-family dwellings and condominiums. And I am proud that many of my former clients have become close friends.

“Ed was a key part of finding the place we wanted for the price we could afford in a very difficult and unpredictable Washington DC real state market. We are grateful to him for all the work and guidance (and patience) and would recommend him without reservation as someone who listens to his clients needs and can help them get what they are looking for and not the second best option. Thank you Ed.”  Juan Blazquez 

“Ed guided us through the purchase of our first home. He not only helped us locate a wonderful property, but was also there with us patiently every step of the way! Ed knows DC inside and out, and will be a valuable ally in your search.” DeVere Kutscher 

“Ed is extremely responsive and helpful. He made the buying process much less daunting and helped me find the perfect condo.”
Lisa Bianco 

"Ed was exceptionally patient with my wife and I on our search to find our first home. He continually went above and beyond what could have been expected. Ed advised us on details we were overlooking, stopped us in our tracks before making any regretful decisions and even stocked our fridge with a few meals so that we could eat after a long day of moving in. We will most definitely be turning to Ed again in the future.”  Michael Marin-Santos Cohen
