I met Ed at the very beginning of my real estate journey, and I couldn’t have found a better guide. Ed is a seasoned real estate professional whose expertise goes far beyond that of a typical agent or broker. It’s rare to come across someone with hands-on experience in nearly every corner of the industry—appraisals, sales, property management, investing, and development. Whether you're buying your first home, expanding your investment portfolio, or searching for a local company to support your real estate career, Higgins & Welch is the partner you need!
