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.
