“I grew up in real estate helping my family buy, renovate and sell properties,” says Ed, who is involved in promoting and supporting our public schools. He has been a sponsor of the White Rock Home Tour that benefits Hexter Elementary for over 10 years. He is also a sponsor of the Modern Mile Home Tour that benefits Walnut Hill Elementary’s Autism Program. Ed, who comes from a family of educators, values education and believes good schools make great communities. “There are great things happening in many of our DISD schools and I make an effort to do what I can to support those schools.”

“Having the opportunity to help my clients achieve their dreams and build wealth through real estate is very rewarding and a responsibility that I do not take lightly,” says Ed. “I want to use my experience and expertise to build relationships that last.”
An avid fan of the masters of modern architecture such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Richard Neutra, Ed has also studied the many architects that have left their mark on Dallas including Charles Dilbeck, Howard Meyer, O’Neil Ford, E. G. Hamilton and Bud Oglesby. Additionally, he is a collector/dealer of classic mid-century modern furnishings and accessories.
