Etch Realty, llc

Ed has been a tried and true realtor for us. Last year we put an offer on a house and made it to a week until closing, when the deal fell apart due to a title issue. Ed was undeterred and remained upbeat and helpful throughout that whole, complicated process. Then, with the market in Boston being pretty competitive and crazy, we put multiple offers down on multiple houses and they were not accepted. That was not Ed’s doing; we were not comfortable forgoing certain contingencies and Ed respected our decisions. Finally we just closed on a house on Friday. Throughout that process Ed was again kind, upbeat, and completely accessible. If you are looking for a ruthless, winner-take-all bulldog personality in a realtor, that’s not Ed. He is a warm and dependable professional who really knows his business. Because of that, he has formed relationships with other fantastic professionals as well. This network of providers made our home-buying experience–dare I say–pleasant! We recommend him very highly.

Ed was a phenomenal realtor during both the sale of our condo and the purchase of our current home. We were trying to sell our condo with an especially difficult set of circumstances and Ed was not only patient, but also persistent in ensuring that we were able to complete the sale without issue. Throughout the entire process he always presented us all our options and offered his opinion, but ultimately respected and supported our decisions, which we greatly appreciated. During our search for a new home he consistently offered appropriate insight to properties we were interested in. We were able to purchase the first home we offered on after the sale of our condo despite there being multiple offers on the property. His assistance during the process was invaluable. While we clearly have nothing but good things to say about Ed, our two year old daughter said it best: 'I will go see Ed and he will find me a new house'

My husband and I worked with Ed and Sheena during our home buying process. They went above and beyond to find us our home and we could not be happier. They are not only very knowledgeable in their field, but personable and hardworking! They made our experience of buying our first home not so scary and even fun at times. We can’t thank them enough!

Ed was an amazingly helpful, supportive, and competent realtor. He helped through every step of finding and purchasing our first home, on a fairly limited budget for the area, without being pressuring or mystifying. He connected us with other really excellent real estate professionals in the are (lawyer, inspector, etc.) which was especially helpful as first-time buyers. Overall the process was much less panic-ridden and much more fun and pleasant because of his kindness and professionalism. I would recommend him without any reservations.

When we started the process of looking for our first home we were really worried about how overwhelming it would all be.
We still feel so lucky that we were referred to Sheena and Ed!
Not only are they both incredible professionals they actually made it FUN!
They really listened to what we were looking for and understood our budget. We felt well represented as buyers and never pressured. They basically 'held our hand' from start to finish and we would recommend their office to friends and family in a heart beat! We absolutely love our home thanks to Sheena and Ed!

I’ve worked with Ed and Sheena on several occasions, twice to buy a home and twice to sell. They were equally knowledgeable in both locations of my housing search, which were in very different Metro Boston areas. Ed guided me through my first purchase of a home, as well as my first house sale several years later and I found him to be incredibly responsive and resourceful throughout both processes. I was impressed with his negotiation skills and knowledge of the local real estate market. Later when I decided to relocate, Sheena assisted with the sale of my home and it was under contract after one open house. Through every transactions they were both able to assist me with all facets of buying and selling, including advisement on home inspections, prepping a house for sale, and financing decisions. Working with Ed and Sheena helped me to feel very confident and secure in my real estate decisions, and I strongly recommend their services.

Working with Sheena was the most wonderful thing that could happen to us. Sheena endured our indecisions and questions not only with the outmost professionalism and knowledge about the market, but also with kindness and patience.  Being new to the South Shore, most of the time we were not sure about a place or neighborhood. Sheena drove around so we could see the area and be able to make a sound decision.  We worked together for over a year! Yes, it seems long...but I looked forward to those weekends and showings. She never ever showed impatience or disagreement, even when our expectations were a little out of line. In the end, we found exactly what we wanted and are happily settling in our new home close to family just as we wished!
