Edie Halenbeck

Edie Halenbeck was an outstanding realtor, and I know, without a doubt, that we would not have gotten the price we got without her. Yes, we had pretty much gutted the house and done a great job on the renovations which were high end, and the location was outstanding. There are several aspects where Edie’s many years of experience and professionalism made a significant impact on the price we eventually accepted. First, she guided us to an asking price that was well thought out to attract the most interest without being too high or too low. She also suggested the name of a home stager, who listened carefully to our vision of the way we wanted the home staged, and the audience we hoped to attract. We were very proud of the way the home showed, and appreciate the referral to this truly great staging company. Edie kept us abreast of early interest from realtors who had well qualified buyers who wanted to submit early offers. We discussed the pros and cons and decided to wait for the official date for offers. Edie was never pushy and answered all of our questions patiently. When the time came to review the offers (there were 8—all well-qualified and preapproved) Edie spent the entire day speaking to the various realtors, keeping us abreast of how the negotiations were going. This is where a really good realtor makes all the difference—and why we got the price we got. The deal closed smoothly in 30 days with all parties very happy. I have already given Edie Halenbeck’s info to two people I know who may be putting their house on the market this spring. I know they will be in good hands!

Our house in the Santa Cruz Mountains - a beautiful but difficult location from a sales point of view - was on the market for almost a year with another realtor with little traffic, fewer showings and no offers. It was very frustrating. Edie was recommended to us by a friend. We met her, were impressed and signed the sale over to her. This was in December and, in short order, we had 2 offers in front of us to consider in the New Year! We accepted one, but the buyers had many questions and quibbles about the property. This started a process of many offers and counter offers that finally resulted in a sale that all parties were comfortable with. Edie was on top of this process, advocating for us and handling the many details of a complicated sale. This was a million-dollar property in a semi-rural location. Edie found us buyers and, through her expertise and hard work, made the deal happen. My wife and I give her our highest recommendation.

Edie is an outstanding Real Estate Professional! We knew she would do a great job for us and she exceeded our expectations. The sale of our home was handled by her and as a result was completely trouble free. She is very client centered and did everything she could to make our experience wonderful! She also represented us in purchasing our new home. She is a good negotiator with excellent taste and our experience seemed effortless. Thank you Edie!
