Slide 1 of 6: Ed Stephens

Ed Stephens, Coldwell Banker Realty
With more than five decades of experience in Peninsula real estate, Ed Stephens has built a career representing buyers, sellers, investors, and developers throughout some of the Bay Area’s most sought-after communities. His lifelong interest in architecture, construction, and design brings an added perspective to every property and transaction.
“Ed's strength as a broker is partially based on his love and knowledge of architecture. His significant understanding of both architecture, architectural history, design, local market dynamics and buyer interest enables him to see what is possible, and what is worth doing to maximize value. He has vision and a highly attuned sense of what works and doesn't work...”

“While none of us had met you before, we chose to include you among the three agents that we initially interviewed because we associated your name with many years of real estate experience on the Peninsula. In that sense, your reputation preceded you; however, it was upon personally meeting you, and then working with you as the listing agent, that we really came to appreciate how all of those years of experience translated into a very smooth and successful real estate transaction.
You had an immediate understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the house itself, and could envision and articulate which improvements we might consider making in order to maximize the home's appeal to prospective buyers.
You had the vendors and resources available to get the improvements done in a timely and cost efficient manner. Those included minor repairs, wallpaper removal and painting, cleaning and staging. The staging in particular was especially impressive; it wasn't overdone and yet it transformed the house. All of those tasks were taken care of with virtually no involvement required on our part, and your time estimate of approximately one month to complete the tasks was accurate.
We are ever so grateful for your sage services, and would be happy to recommend you to anyone looking for an agent in the area.”

“Thank you so much in helping us find our dream home. Your wisdom and kindness throughout the years has been an invaluable asset to our family throughout the years. We're so lucky to be able to work with you.”
Ambie Valdes and Toby Mao
Bought a home
“Thank you so much for helping our family purchase our first home. We appreciate your patience and understanding, as we persevered through a tough process learning how to buy a home, during a highly competitive seller's market.
It was reassuring to count on your expertise and knowledge, your focus on fundamentals, your connections to experts, and your desire for us to achieve a solid comfort level.”
Jana Comstock and Chris March
First-time buyers
“Thank you for finding me such a great home. Thanks for going far beyond just showing me homes on the multiple listing service, but also contacting owners and agent directly. After several months of looking at homes and making offers, this strategy worked and you found me a home that I plan to live in for the rest of my life.”
