Ed Billings

ZillowVERIFIED

I just closed today on a great little house in a terrific location. Ed was great on all fronts, from initial showings before signing on with him, through inspection and closing, and then following up to put me in touch with resources for everything from painting to landscaping after the deal was done. The first offer I made on an earlier property had fallen through in a disappointing way, and instead of letting me moan and groan about it, Ed encouraged me to keep what he called karmic momentum... looking forward instead of back... and we ended up finding something even better and closer to town than I had hoped.

Ed recently helped us buy a house in Chapel Hill. He did a fantastic job. He was responsive to what we were looking for in a home, and was a wealth of knowledge and advice. He knows the neighborhoods, he knows the market, and he knows the other realtors. He also has a small army of inspectors, contractors, and other specialists that get things done at light speed.

Ed was recommended to me by a friend of mine. He helped her to sell her house and helped me to sell mine. He is highly professional, very reliable, and extremely honest. We are now working together to find a new home for me. I feel confident that he will help me to buy the right home. I recommend him to anyone that needs a real estate agent to buy or sell a home. He is Atreus star.

Ed Billings is a star. Selling a house is serious business--emotional in so many ways, especially when you have lived in your house a long time. A sense of humor is a big help in negotiating the complex process. Ed was skilled at helping us keep a sense of humor. He understands both sides of the equation. We appreciated his knowledge of the community, his awareness of the buyer's goals and the seller's. We knew he was someone we could trust. He did not disappoint.

Ed Billings has actually represented us on both the buy and sell side of the real estate equation. The first time we worked with him was when we relocated here from the West Coast. First, he helped us locate a rental property and then began helping us find our first home in the area. Ed really knows his stuff, as a realtor, negotiator and local expert. He understands the nuances of each neighborhood and helped us make a great decision on a home. Later when we decided to move to a new home, Ed had a "sold" sign on the property much faster than I thought was possible given market conditions at the time. Through it all, he managed our expectations and helped keep what can be a stressful situation calm. All in all a win-win situation.

My house had been on the market for six months with no offer when I hired Ed Billings. During Ed's first visit to the house we talked through several market preparation ideas to better highlight the house's features for potential buyers (while also staying within my desired budget). Ed showed great expertise during this portion of the selling process -- feedback received from later showings supported that his suggestions were spot-on with what is important to the market.Additionally, Ed made the entire process easy for me by handling all needed house maintenance and/or prep before a showing. I have moved to a neighboring city and Ed continuously insured all details were handled. I was required to handle none to little amount of the logistics, including repairs which Ed arranged for and handled.Ed took great care with posting the house for sale and marketing it well. I highly recommend Ed for his experience and "know-how" in the local market. He is well connected in the real estate business which helped quickly generate buyer interest and Ed is extremely trust worthy. For me, once the house was in Ed's hands there was little to worry about and I had an offer very shortly thereafter!!

Ed did an excellent job with all aspects of the sale. Negotiations were handled in a profession way. Since I was no longer in Chapel Hill, he took care of all details in the closing.I would recommend him to anyone, who is interested in selling or buying a home.

Ed was recommended to me by a friend, and based on my experience with him, I would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone looking for an agent. We hit some snags, but Ed always looked out for me and made the process as smooth as it could possibly be. He knew not only the local area and the housing market, but also who to call for any kind of inspection. He was great at explaining everything to me, and helping me make decisions along the way. I don't think I could have survived the process with anyone else. I felt (and still feel) like I was in great hands with Ed.

Our experience working with Ed (once as sellers, twice as buyers) has been 100 percent positive. As sellers we followed his advice and received two offers near asking price within 10 days. For his buyers, Ed considers all angles to present a competitive offer and stays on top of every detail during negotiations, inspections, etc. Throughout each process, Ed gave us advice that was tailored to our specific needs, and he was a lot of fun to work with. He relates to the personal and emotional pressures of buying and selling, but above all he is the complete professional: proactive, conscientious, and competent from start to finish. He also keeps great contacts with contractors, inspectors, lenders, etc., so his clients are well-served in those areas as well. We would absolutely work with Ed again and recommend him to friends and neighbors.

I sold two properties in Chapel Hill last year, my own and my mother's estate. Thanks to Ed, both sales went extremely well. Our own property sold in less than a week in a challenging market. This could not have happened without Ed's experience, knowledge, and professional advice. Ed also made the selling of our mother's estate as streamlined and uncomplicated as it possibly could have been, and this property also sold in just weeks. Ed Billings' in-depth knowledge of the local market and community will make your buying and/or selling experience a very positive one.
