Testimonials

From the day that he sat down with us had his market analysis completed we knew that he sounded like the right individual to give our business and confidence in. Within a reasonable amount of time he brought us several offers then we carefully selected what worked best for us. He was brilliant through the negotiation process and brought the complicated closing process to a swift seamless conclusion. After that experience in selling it was a natural segue having him find our next home in Beach Haven. Again he worked diligently on our behalf and we felt so comfortable that we gave him full negotiating of the wording for the purchase, he never let us down at any point… he made selling and buying our homes relatively simple... meaning that he only contacted us when he had Time sensitive and vital information or a decision to make. We were never bothered with a multitude of calls, messages etc. which was very important because were both very busy professionals. We have referred Edward to several of our friends and he has successfully bought and sold homes for them as well. Bottom line - Ed is really an old-school, honest professional. He knows the market & the properties like no one else on the island. His skills at dealing with buyers, sellers, agents, brokers, appraisers, lawyers, everyone involved in the transaction is exceptional. He just gets it, he understands the transaction from front to back, if he's on your team you're going to win… Brian & Susan Barber

He was a perfect match for us as an agent and partner in our search for a new home. Specifically, he has a rare combination of competencies that is hard to find in one single real estate professional. He has a long history in the area (LBI) and an incredible knowledge of local real estate development and construction. Additionally, he has an expertise regarding just about any topic related to home ownership on the island. Possessing a high degree of transparency, honesty and integrity, he is well-respected by the multiple professionals with whom he interacts (attorneys, contractors, other agents, people in commerce) and considered a problem solver. Finally, Edward has a warm style and ambience about him that reduces the stress associated with buying or selling a home, and approaches the task with intelligence, patience and an indispensable sense of humor. - Christine Nezu

In terms of his capabilities as a realtor, the star ratings say it all - way too many examples to list, but he truly went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations on all fronts throughout the entire process - from the initial meeting to beyond the closing, totally knowledgeable, reliable and happy to go the extra mile. On a personal note, Eddie is friendly, personable, knows all the locals and clearly enjoys working with folks to help them find the right home for them. Great realtor, great guy - 100% recommend.

Awesome to work with, saved me lots of time, money, and headaches. The process for search to closing couldn't have been easier. He came as a referral from a trusted friend of mine who he also helped buy a house on Long Beach Island. He found what my family was looking for in less than 2 weeks and the house we ended up buying wasn't even listed yet, he approached the seller on our behalf and made it happen. Furthermore, Eddie got the first dinner invite in our new house, that's what I think of this man.

Above all he is an unbelievable negotiator, and he will make the deal happen. During our attorney review, a competitive bid was offered, but Ed's experience in negotiating deals got us our bay front house!

Especially given the fact we live in Hong Kong with a 12 hour time difference. Eddie Freeman made selling my duplex as easy as anyone could especially given the fact we live in Hong Kong with a 12 hour time difference. Ed has a way of making people feel comfortable with him when your selling and also buying property and that's because he's honest and pays attention to every detail whether big or small. Ed went out of the way with coordinating things typically beyond the type duties and responsibilities of a realtor given our situation. I would highly recommend Ed and his professional team to anyone looking at selling or buying a place in LBI. I will certainly be using Ed when we jump back in the LBI market. - Anthony Barnes

But what makes him truly peerless among all realtors we've dealt with is his caring. Ed's authenticity shows in the time he spends to understand a buyer's life and family, and his knowledge of the Long Beach Island market was remarkably thorough--and a difference maker. Uncertain exactly what type of home we wanted, he helped us understand the essential differences in the neighborhoods, in ocean blocks vs bay blocks, and in the relative advantages/disadvantages in the properties we saw. In a single day, he organized a tour of 8 different properties all within our price target, and all over the island--and was candid in the relative values of each, as well as the drawbacks we couldn't see (even on properties that were at the highest end of our range.) His follow-through before and after the visit was remarkable. When we decided to make an offer on a property in a neighborhood we didn't know well, his knowledge helped us feel more at ease, and his attention to detail in every conceivable aspect of the buying process--made the transaction as seamless as possible, especially for a family that hadn't bought a house in more than 15 years. By now, we don't consider Ed a realtor. He's a friend, another member of our family, and a trusted source on all things related to LBI. As someone who travels more than 100 nights a year for work, who has been to all 50 states and lived in each time zone of the country, Ed is singular at what he does. No one better. Period.

From identifying and helping to acquire a property, to introducing us to mortgage lenders, insurance providers, real estate attorneys and even builders/contractors. He was also very knowledgeable of the real estate market on Long Beach Island, as well as the individual towns zoning laws. We highly recommend Ed Freeman.

As 20-year renters on LBI, we found Ed to be extremely knowledgeable about the local real estate market. Ed was very patient with our search, kept us completely aware of homes entering the market within our geographic and financial target zone, and he provided honest answers to all of our questions. Ed knows how to get things done; he skillfully managed the purchase process from offer-to-close while tending to every detail along the way in an experienced and trustworthy manner. My wife and I have wanted a house on LBI for years, and Ed helped us find the perfect house for our family. We would give Ed our highest recommendation to anyone.
