My husband and I are from east coast. During our recently purchasing a home in Gig Harbor Washington, Ed Aro gave us honest recommendations, professional advices and very efficient service. Whenever we are in town from long distance with limited time to stay, Ed and his team always fit our schedule to showed us the properties on time, no matter the time is over the weekend, at late evening or early morning. Especially when Ed had a orthopedic surgery, he still worked with us on the day right before he went to the hospital and the day immedially after his operation while he still wore a slaye and he could only be drived by his wife to meet us. It's truly moved us. Ed and his team are the best Less

My wife and I have high expectations for our service providing partners, and oft times the real estate agents with whom we have worked were not capable of meeting those expectations. Ed was the exception to that experience. Ed and his team are the best there is in the Gig Harbor area market. It was common for us to receive text and email communications as early as 5:00 AM and late into the evening. He was always pleasant, professional, and helpful, and consistently kept his commitments. If I were to purchase or sell another home in his market, I would not look any further than his team. In fact, we purchased a home in Arizona and had asked if he were able to handle that transaction for us. Both my wife and I would wholeheartedly recommend Ed and his team. Simply put, they are the best. Less

Ed and his team did an excellent job on a very difficult closing. We had to make some unforeseen repairs and that resulted in two closing extension?s. Throughout it all Ed and his team kept in close communication, keeping everyone calm and closing the sell. You can?t find better!!

We worked with Laurie Ayers a member of Ed Aro's team. She was wonderful! She found us our dream house and went the extra mile for us to get it. Laurie cares and wants her clients to be in a house that will fit their needs. Since the day we met Laurie she went above and beyond as our realtor. She quickly returned phone calls, making sure all our questions got answered. She is an excellent negotiator, that worked hard for us! She worked as a team, including us, the lender , inspectors and all other parties involved in the sale. On closing day when everything that could go wrong did she made sure everything went smoothly and we got our keys as planned. Laurie accommodated our needs as buyers and made purchasing our home a great experience! Less

Ed and his team deliver a powerful combination of service, expertise and results. In my 20 years of real estate finance experience in the Puget Sound I have encountered very few leaders like Ed Aro. I highly recommend and endorse Ed and his team to anyone aiming to successfully purchase or sell residential real estate of any kind. Eric E

I feel the Ed Aro team handled the listing and sale of my home masterfully. In a market that averages 15 to 18 months, they secured a sale for me in 5 months. They communicated with me through-out the entire process, keeping me informed at all times. They also listened to me and asked me for my input as the process progressed, making me feel as though I was an integral part of their team. I also feel that, at several times, they went above and beyond my own expectations in making the final sale complete and successful. I highly recommend the Ed Aro team to anyone who is looking for a "premium quality" representative in the real estate market. Less

Would definetly do business with the Ed Aro team again. Paige Burnett was extremely helpful in all aspects, was always there to answer a question, we even got a response to an e mail at 10:30 pm on a Saturday. My next home purchase will definetly be with Ed Aro with Paige as my agent. Jim Therianos

I was a buyer of a building lot. Ed represented the seller and made clear from the outset that he didn't represent me the buyer so I was on my own regarding due diligence during the feasibility phase of negotiations. Ed is very knowledgeable of the Gig Harbor area regarding real estate. The seller was slow in responding to my requests for information but Ed did an admirable job of getting answers. He even paid for the expense of locating an existing drainfield which I thought the seller should have provided. I would recommend Ed to potential buyers and sellers of real estate. Less

Couldn't be happier with Ed and his entire team involved in this transaction. I would highly recommend him for listing or buying representation!

We worked with Jamie Hess and Ms. Ayers at this office. We were very impressed with their professionalism and skill. We had a great experience and were very satisfied.

Ed and his team did a great job from the first meeting right through to closing. Always accessible, always professional, Ed was a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend him.

The sale of our home was quick (within 2 weeks!) and professionally handled by Ed Aro and his team. I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of selling their home.

Jamie Hess was great is resolving some closing issues and made everything happen very smoothly. Follow-up on all issues was great. Very professional.

Jamie Hess really shined towards the end of our transaction. She was very responsive to all inquires, and helped us immensely. It was a pleasure working with Ed and his whole team.

My view home had been on the market for over 3 years when Ed became my listing agent. 3 months later my home sold. Need I say more...? Yes, because not only is Ed an incredibly focused salesperson, he has a meticulous staff that is there for you 24/7. They are prompt, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. His dedication to his client is first and foremost. Selling a home in this difficult market has actually been a pleasant experience.....who would have thought that? Ed is the best! I couldn't be happier with the result. Less

This is an easy review for me to write, mainly because I wish that someone had given me a referral to employ Ed at the beginning of our selling process... instead, my husband and I worked with not one but two other local real estate companies in Gig Harbor before finally (and fortunately) hiring Ed Aro and his team at John L. Scott in Gig Harbor to advertise and sell our home in this tough real estate market. I am not one to tear other people down, but I want you to know that the contrast between the other agents who listed our home and Ed Aro was striking. Ed's professionalism was evident from our first meeting, and his positive attitude and confidence in his ability to successfully market our house was not just "talk"; within hours of signing our agreement to have Ed represent us as our selling agent, he had brought in his support staff to tour our home so that they could talk and write knowledgeably about it, arranged for his interior designer to help us with staging our 5200-square-foot house to make it look appealing to potential buyers, and scheduled a professional photographer to come and take pictures that truly captured the feel of our expansive home. We appreciated Ed's enthusiasm for the process of finding just the right buyer for our home as well as his familiarity with the local media sources for advertising our house. Compared with our experience with our previous agents, we were certain that Ed was doing everything in his power to draw interested buyers to our property-- what a great feeling! As you may have guessed, our story has a happy ending: after five months on the market, a family made an offer on our house and as we worked through the details of the purchase and sale, Ed continued to impress us with his tenacity and his tirelessness in facilitating the sale and negotiating with the buyers' agent. He was very thorough in preparing us for the different aspects of the closing of the deal, and each of his associates that we dealt with exceeded our expectations in terms of handling their duties without errors and in a timely manner. Without hesitation or reservation, we will recommend Ed Aro to all of our friends and family as a real estate agent who is savvy, experienced, hard-working, and-- honestly-- fun to work with. In fact, we are looking forward to future commercial transactions with Ed as my husband anticipates purchasing property for his new office building in Gig Harbor. Less

I have had the pleasure of working with Ed Aro for the past 13 years. He is the hardest working realtor I have come across in my 25 years in real estate. His experienced team smooths out the ruts in todays tough closing environment. I highly reccomend him.

I have worked with Ed and his Team on both selling and purchasing many real estate properties in the past 3 years. Ed and his team are timely, professional, and very flexible. I have referred several people to Ed and all of which have came up with the same conclusion. If you would like an agent who driven by their clients best interests please consider Ed as your real-estate agent. Thanks, Steve and Rachel

I would highly recommend Ed Aro and his team, to anybody considering selling their home or property. From the outset of the process Ed had his people in gear and all on the same sheet of music....From the staging to the prompt phone calls, they had it down...all the way to the close....seamless in a word.

Great teamwork from this office! I can't say enough about how organized and efficient they are! Communication has been fabulous and they are always there to answer any questions that I have throughout the entire process. I love how they work hand in hand and communicate with my lender also. It makes me feel like I'm in the loop and informed.

He and his team have been extremely prompt. We feel very comfortable with their advice and look forward to continued success.
