We have never met a more professional Realtor. Ed always put our needs first, and worried over the details so we didn’t have to. We were frequently traveling but Ed made sure nothing slowed down when we were out of town. He took the lead on all the negotiations and was always prepared with sage advice whenever we had a question. His help was invaluable as we prepared the house for sale, and he suggested legal resources for us when we needed it. We had a unique home and Ed was tenacious in soliciting prospective buyers. His architectural training allowed him to market the house in creative ways–he could see and understand what made the place special and he was able to create a marketing plan that conveyed that to the buyers. It’s also clear that Ed genuinely cares about his clients. I cannot imagine a more personable and genuinely likeable Realtor!
–Thomas G.
Ed was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful in helping us buy our first home. Highly recommend, especially for his structural expertise.
–Nick B.
I had a great experience working with Ed as a first-time home buyer. He provided invaluable insight into both the Austin real estate market and renovation possibilities for the homes we toured. He was patient and thorough throughout the process, and made himself available as a resource every step of the way. Highly recommend!
–Maia L.
Ed was wonderful to work with! As first-time homebuyers, he helped us understand the process and explained everything thoroughly. Not only was he knowledgeable and responsive, but he helped make a stressful process fun. I would highly recommend to anybody buying or selling in Austin.
–Alexis B.
Working with Ed Hughey was a joy! Ed exceeded expectations throughout the entire buying process and was incredible through every stage of buying our home. He was an ally, friend, and advisor and helped us navigate a very difficult time to buy a house. His knowledge as an architect was immensely helpful – he was able to help us envision future opportunities as well as inform us of potential limitations of a property. We always knew Ed had us covered! We cannot imagine a better experience and cannot wait to refer other people moving forward.
–Lydia S.
Ed is excellent to work with. I’ve now worked with Ed on over half a dozen projects for both personal and investment purposes and Ed continues to provide irreplaceable value with his unique combination of real estate experience, local Austin knowledge, architectural perspective, and investment savvy. He’s an excellent communicator who is nearly always available to offer guidance at most any point in the process, is never pushy, and offers sound advice and strategic thinking that has provided a huge advantage in Austin’s difficult market. Thanks, Ed!
-Logan C.
Fantastic experience. Ed gave us such thorough advice and truly helped us understand what we needed to make an informed decision. And it worked – we love our new home so much!
-Lindsey D.
Ed has been amazing to work with. He’s available when we need, helps us determine fair market value for properties we’re interested in, and promptly answers our questions with well-informed information. He is always professional and makes us feel valued.
-Bailey H.
We couldn’t have been happier with Ed – professional, extremely knowledgeable, and an all-around genuinely great guy to work with and know. Thank you Ed!
-Leslie S.
Ed is phenomenal. He guided us through every stage of our buying process flawlessly and took great care to understand what we were looking for, helping us hone in on the specific areas/listings that met all our needs. Throughout the offer and closing period, he guided us on the exact strategy we needed to win in a competitive situation. Ed’s knowledge of architecture, the Austin market, and the reputation he has clearly built for himself in the local real estate community are all incredible assets that we were fortunate to leverage as his clients. Beyond all of that, he’s a genuine, kind and likable person — he would certainly be our first call if we look to buy or sell in the future.
-Andrew T.
Ed was awesome throughout the process of buying our new home and selling the old. He was always quick to respond and had great advice and instincts. Thanks Ed!
-John W.
Ed went above and beyond as our realtor. We’re so happy we went with Ed as our realtor. His attention to detail, constant communication and overall positive demeanor made the selling of our house easy. All kudos go to Ed!
-Diana J.
This is our second home purchased with Ed Hughey and Moreland Properties and just when I didn’t think it was possible to provide a better home buying experience, Ed Hughey did it!!! Hands down the finest realtor in the business and another exceptional experience and outcome.
-Jed W.
How can we adequately thank Ed Hughey for all the help he gave us during the purchase of a new home? Some people do their job and go home and forget about it. Ed has shown us that he’s a different breed – he’s extremely helpful, open, transparent, and reliable through the whole process. He really cared about us, understood our needs from the very first conversation, and took care of us like family. Highly recommend Ed – thank you for going the extra mile.
-Nicolette W.
Ed is fantastic. He brings lots of knowledge and attention to detail. He is one of the best realtors we have ever dealt with. During our entire 12 month buying/building process he was always on top of everything and made sure everything was on track. He always had our best interests as his top priority. He will get all of our recommendation and we will use him again in the future. Thanks Ed!
-Bartlomiej P.
We could not have asked for a better buying experience. Ed went above and beyond and we will continue to look for opportunities where we can work with him in the future.
-Bo S.
From the very beginning Ed was very helpful. I am a first time home buyer. He educated me about the whole process. He gave me contacts of local lenders to get my pre approval. Overall he made the process very easy for me. On top of that, he is a very friendly and professional individual. I highly recommend Ed to others.
-Nahid H.
Ed was truly a breath of fresh air in a chaotic housing market. He really opened our eyes to how subpar our previous home buying/selling experiences were. Not only was he charismatic and professional, but he was always looking out for our best interests, investing in finding a home to match our needs, and was there alongside us every step of the way. I would most definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in the Austin area.
-Lauren H.
Ed is the realtor we dreamed of finding, but never believed we would. Seasoned, caring and deeply intelligent, Ed possesses that rare combination of head and heart that most everyone needs when buying a home, and we were no different. Our home buying journey took place in the midst of the pandemic and during one of the most challenging real estate markets in Austin’s history. Every step of the way, Ed was there to guide us. Intimately familiar with Austin, Ed helped us see homes of all kinds and in every corner of the city. Deeply studied and profoundly knowledgeable, Ed led us through careful evaluations of home values and other market issues. Drawing upon his background in architecture, Ed gave us expert advice on a wide range of renovation, repair, and structural questions. And it doesn’t end there. Ed proved he is a savvy negotiator and strategist. He was available, patient, and relentlessly supportive. He shared his wisdom to help us make the best decision, but he never pushed us in one direction or another. He was a true joy to be around. And he listened. In short, Ed is the whole package. And today, because of Ed, we are the proud owners of our perfect home. While we are beyond happy, it is bitter sweet that our home buying journey has come to an end because we no longer have an excuse to spend time with Ed, who along the way became not only our gifted advisor – but also our treasured friend.
-Nathan A.
-Catherine C.
-Bailey M.
-Poojan P.
Where do we begin! Ed was an amazing partner throughout our real estate journey. Relatable, intuitive, and understanding, Ed listened to us and gave honest recommendations based on our home needs. His construction and architecture experience proved to be an incredibly important asset. Ed could quickly look at a space and imagine the possibilities as well as be honest about the potential challenges. It was very helpful that Ed is a Central Austin resident himself — we felt like we could trust his point of view. We could go on and on about Ed and Moreland! We are so happy with the home we found and couldn’t have done it without him.
-Christina W.
Ed is a top-notch and phenomenal real estate agent, person, negotiator, guide, project manager, architect and communicator. His attention to detail, his integrity and his professionalism are 110%. Ed is A+ all the way around and because of his excellence, his knowledge, his great awareness and follow-through on top of all of the above, we went on to complete three very successful transactions with him after having met just under a year ago. I would highly recommend Ed to anyone and everyone I know looking to buy or sell anywhere in the greater Austin vicinity. We are fortunate to have found him. Thank you Ed!
-Montserrat M.
There are simply no words to describe how exceptional Ed Hughey is as a real estate professional and person. To say he made a stressful and delicate experience an absolute dream would be an understatement, but he did. He helped our family buy our dream home and made us feel safe, secure, and comfortable with every step of the process. I have worked with other real estate professionals in the past and one thing is certain, Ed Hughey and Moreland Properties have set the bar beyond the reach of anyone we’ve ever known. We will use and refer Ed for all real estate transactions in the future.
-Jed W.
Ed has worked tirelessly, and patiently, to help us identify properties suitable for our purposes. As an architect, he has the ability to imagine what is possible, and as a well-informed realtor, he understands the pulse of the market. As an experienced investor who has worked with many realtors over the years, I can say with confidence that Ed is at the top of my list. We consider ourselves fortunate to work with Ed.
-Les C.
I had a blast working with Ed. Besides being really fun to be around, he was knowledgeable and extremely responsive. He did a great job of helping us navigate the super-hot Austin market as first-time buyers. We were able to use his network to find us an awesome, off-market property that was exactly what we were looking for. On top of that, he lined us up with some top-rate architects to help bring our dream home to reality. There’s no way we’d have ended up in such an amazing spot without his help!
-Chris H.
Ed was our selling agent in the sale of our home and our buying agent when we purchased our new dream home. His understanding of the Austin real estate market is astute and gave us an upper hand in our negotiations. His recommendation to use a new-to-the-market financing tool helped us put an unbeatable offer in on a home. Ed’s architectural background was extremely valuable in evaluating the potential of a home, this also helped in the consideration and planning of future home improvements. We still can’t believe we found our dream home in this unbelievably competitive market. Above all, Ed was available when we needed him and the most important asset in our home buying experience.
-Rinaldo & Jeylan
Fantastic realtor! He listened to what we wanted in a house, was very knowledgeable, and was very easy to work with. Despite this being a particularly crazy time for buyers, we were able to get a house we wanted because of him.
-Chad H.
Ed was incredibly helpful in setting our expectations for the wild Austin market. He helped us have a realistic approach and we were able to quickly find exactly what we were looking for in a home. Ed was quick to understand our aesthetic and always prompt to respond. We had an excellent and personable experience working with Ed.
-Maggie G.
We’ve worked with a number of realtors in town and none of them compared to Ed. He brings a unique perspective to real estate with his architectural background, which is quite valuable. The thing that impressed us the most is that we never felt like Ed was trying to push us in a direction we didn’t want to go (just to make a sale). He offered sound advice and strategic thinking on our winning bid and was nearly always available to chat through questions, etc. We can’t recommend Ed enough to others interested in finding a quality, knowledgeable and trustworthy realtor.
-Patrick B.
Ed Hughey is the expert agent that every home buyer needs in their corner, I would recommend him to everyone. Ed’s architectural background makes him invaluable when assessing the quality of a home build, he knows the finest details to look for and is able to give informed details rather than just observed opinions. That gives Ed the advantage when making recommendations on which properties to view to cut through the noise and then again once you’re at a property, what to look for and which questions to ask. Ed’s knowledge, professionalism and enthusiasm, even when faced with unprofessionalism from other parties, were a real asset to us in our first home buying experience due to his local knowledge of the Austin market. We made Ed work extra hard since we started without an exact idea of what we were looking for, he was able to help guide us through the many many options to consider. He helped us with picking the best locations in Austin, finding off market properties, looking at everything from fixer uppers to options that were still in construction. Thank you for listening and entertaining some of our ridiculous suggestions, thank you for coaching and educating us, thank you for taking our late night calls & texts after a few margaritas after viewings, and thank you for helping us find and get our DREAM HOME here in East Austin – an A & B unit, one to live & one to rent, wohoo!
-Edward G.
Simply put, Ed was amazing! He helped us sell our house and buy a house. He is very knowledgeable about real estate in general as well as the Austin market. He was very responsive to all our questions and was able to answer every question we had. We would definitely recommend Ed to anyone buying or selling a home!
-Sherrie W.
Ed was very professional and incredibly helpful during our first home buying experience in Austin. He was always responsive and helped us every step of the way. We found our dream home thanks to him!
-Karolina N.
As a first time homebuyer, I was unsure of what to expect from the process — luckily I had Ed to help guide me along the way. While I started the search pretty narrow in terms of location and price point, Ed encouraged me to look outside of that to get a better idea of the market and manage expectations. With each property we viewed (and there were a lot!!) Ed would give his opinion on long-term investment value, comps, issues with the property to be aware of, and more. Throughout it all, he really got to know my taste and what I was looking for in a condo/home. I knew that even if I was out of town, I could trust Ed to determine if a place would be a good fit for me or not. It was an extra bonus that as an architect, he was able to point out design features of a home and spark ideas on what I can do to increase value. I truly appreciate how communicative and helpful Ed was throughout the process — always checking in and ensuring that my best interests were represented. I would recommend Ed to anyone of my friends or family and know who I’ll be using as an agent in years to come!
-Sarah S.
Ed Hughey was responsive, informed, and on top of all aspects necessary to help facilitate my home purchase. I’m very lucky to have worked with Ed, as he helped navigate through numerous tight situations.
-Chas L.
Ed is not just a real estate agent. During the 6+ month saga that was our home buying process, Ed played the role of investment advisor, mediator, architect, administrative assistant, private eye, therapist, and yes, top-notch agent. We worked with Ed to locate the perfect off-market property and convince the owner to sell to us, dropping his price significantly in the process. We made the decision to sell our home at the same time, all while I was 9 months pregnant. Ed became the first person we texted and emailed with in the AM and the last we chatted with before bed. To say our home buying process was complicated is an understatement and Ed handled it thoughtfully, strategically, and precisely. We are in disbelief that we are well on our way to having our dream home, beyond anything we could have even imagined for ourselves, and it is directly because of Ed that this is possible. Thank you, Ed!
-Libby C.
Ed was incredible. Really helped take me through the entire process and kept positive even though a few offers didn’t get accepted. Highly recommend using Ed if you’re looking to buy and have already recommended him to some friends that are in market.
-Sam O.
I had an amazing experience buying a new house in Austin despite the constraints in the pandemic. Ed is a professional, knowledgeable, responsive and patient agent, who guided and helped me virtually through every step of the process from my home state. I highly recommend him to anyone who are preparing to buy or sell a property in Austin and nearby areas.
-Siu W.
Ed was professional, competent, calming, knowledgeable and guided us through the process with ease. Highly recommend.
-Paul P.
I have found Ed to be an excellent professional with a deep knowledge of the Austin real estate market. He has a uniquely valuable skillset in that he is both a realtor and also a fully licensed architect. This makes him an especially great fit for anyone who is looking to buy a property to build a new home. He is also very personable and responsive in his communication. I can highly recommend working with him.
-Zac W.
Ed did a great job in selling my home. His market knowledge was succinct and accurate, he was professional and handled the negotiations with class and an assuredness backed by his deep understanding of the Austin property market. He was firm when he needed to be and gave good insights as to how the market was tracking. All during the first wave of the COVID pandemic and he did it with a good sense of humor and keeping a smile on his face. If you want a realtor with great market knowledge, a good feel for where prices are heading and who will go the extra step then I can’t recommend anyone better than Ed!
-Stewart T.
Ed is a fantastic Realtor who invests 110% of his time and energy into his clients. He’s a great communicator who is fully committed to helping buyers and sellers navigate the challenging decisions of real estate. He’s incredibly knowledgeable about the countless facets of home-buying and his background in architecture gives him a singular perspective and competitive advantage. Ed delivers a comforting balance of passion, sensitivity, and business acuity that is unmatched in the daunting world of real estate.
-Jason K.
Ed helped me find my new home. Ed’s familiar with the area and a nice all-around great guy who really helped me through it all. Thanks Ed!!!
-Omar T.
Ed was an amazing agent to work with. He was incredibly knowledgeable and helped me to find the right home. I highly recommend him and would use him again.
