Being from out of the area, we were referred to Ed O'Malley by the local Chris Craft dealer, and then had two sets of close friends in the Bay Head - Manasquan area concur that he was by far the very best realtor to work with in the area. With the tight real estate market and limited listings in Bay Head, Ed secured us a summer rental and continued his diligent search for our summer home. After working on our behalf for almost a year, with several showings and an offer that was not accepted along the way, Ed worked tirelessly to find a residence that checked all of our boxes, and we ultimately made an offer that was accepted by the seller. Ed then provided outstanding guidance by providing several options which helped us select a local attorney and the best inspectors in the area. Ed also provided us with ongoing support between the time we made the offer and closing, so that nothing slipped through the cracks. We have also closed on two residences outside of the Bay Head area in the last year, and Ed's service and support was the best by far! Amazing knowledge of the market, a committment to his clients that's off the charts, and great communication skills and follow-up. We'd give 6 stars if we could! - Sue L
