I contacted gayrealestate.com because I wanted to sell property I own in Florida and I live in South Carolina. I also wanted a gay realtor because I believe in supporting our community. I was contacted by Ed and from the first contact he was awesome. He was courteous, professional, and very knowledgeable of the market in which I was selling. He never missed an opportunity to reach out and keep me updated even if there wasn’t anything new to report. I believe that without his help and knowledge I wouldn’t have sold for the price I did. I recommend Ed to anyone, but especially to members of our LGBT community. He is a fantastic realtor!!!
