Shoreview Realty, Edward F Thomas, REALTOR

Excellent, Ed Thomas is a very hard working broker. He puts in many hours, advertises, and makes the sale. His knowledge in real estate is unmatched, and his work ethic is top notch. If you are looking to sell a home on the Jersey Shore pick Shoreview Realty. The home was sold despite being a fixer upper and in a zone that needed flood insurance, and without giving the house away. Do not pick other realtors in the area that like to just have many listings. Go with Shoreview Realty where amount of sales is what counts, not listings! Ed was easy to contact, where other realtors keep few hours, and you leave a message they call you back days latter. He made adjustments in advertisement (and not just drop the price). Thank You Shoreview Realty, House SOLD, from listing to closing on the house in about three months......AAA+++

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Ed for over 40 years, and he is the most honest, straightforward, Knowledgeable, and professional person you’ll ever meet. Besides that he’s a nice guy who loves what he does, and he’ll be there for you night and day to help in any way. I’ve worked with Ed selling two houses. Soon to be three. Not only did he get me more money for both properties then I would’ve gotten either by myself or with another agent, he actually showed up every time another real estate agent wanted to show the house, to walk them through, because he knew I was uncomfortable with strangers going through my house. Nobody knows real estate like Ed.

Ed Thomas is the most professional, hardest working realtor that I have ever met. His efforts in selling my home in New Jersey required extra effort due to the nature of the Lakewood real estate market at the time. He negotiated a sale that was well above the market value.

" Edward Thomas has been incredibly helpful in selling our home. He saw what needed to be done to make our former home saleable and he *did* it. He took it upon himself to see that our property was manicured and staged, did necessary maintenance on some cement and woodwork, carefully secured our vacant home and, despite the fact that it is located far from his office, checked on it regularly (all without charge, simply a courtesy he extends to all of his clients). While discussing a sale price, Eddie told us what we needed to know--not what we wanted to hear. He is familiar with the market and helped us to determine a realistic asking price, which was attractive to potential buyers and agreeable to us. As he is not the type to sugar-coat information, Eddie discouraged us from looking at a few properties we were interested in, pointing out flaws that we did not notice. His honesty and integrity are beyond question. He would prefer to lose a sale and his commission than to sell someone a home that would be unsuitable to their needs. Our experience with Eddie went far beyond our expectations of a professional transaction and we are extremely pleased that we chose him to work on our behalf. "

We were referred to Edward Thomas of Shoreview Realty by a prior client when it was necessary to sell our Mother's home. Knowing that it was extremely difficult for us, Edward assisted us in any way necessary to prepare the house for sale. He organized all of the contractors needed to beautifully prepare the home for sale, and later complete the work necessary to satisfy inspections. Whenever it snowed, Edward shoveled snow off our walks and spread ice melt after every storm. He helped winterize certain fixtures throughout the home when needed. He delivered mail to us that had been left at my Mother's house. Edward went above and beyond what I believe any other broker would and made the sale of the house so much easier for us. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a competent, honest real estate broker.
