Ed and Therese Milestone

I cannot say enough good things about Ed and Therese Milestone. What an amazing experience! When my wife and I approached Ed and Therese, we had quite a tall order - help us sell our townhome over asking, help us buy a new home with tree-lined streets, flat walking areas and a floor plan that makes sense. With three small children, 50+ hour a week jobs and an incredibly tight timeline, they were able to do just that! Ed and Therese are not your typical team - they are force-multipliers: with their extensive networks, they were able to identify competent movers, stagers, construction folks and most of all, act as one of the best project managers I have ever met - Ed himself! Yes, Ed stepped in and managed all of the projects for our home. He or Therese were at every meeting and they were as meticulous to the details as if it were their own home. I have never met a couple with such enthusiasm, integrity, ethics, attention to detail and urgency as I have with Ed and Therese. Above all of this, they weren't just looking to close the deal - they were looking for a home they felt met the requirements conveyed in our first meeting. In fact, on several occasions, Ed served as a counter-balance to my very eager nature to 'get in anywhere'. The end result was amazing. I look back and realize we could not have done this without Ed and Therese. We love our beautiful home. It meets all the requirements we sought after and even has a few bonuses (Hello, Treehouse!). Ed continues to check in with us to see if there is anything we need and also, gives us periodic updates of activity within our neighborhood, including community development. Ed and Therese Milestone are without a doubt, the most impressive Realtors I have ever had the pleasure of meeting! I would recommend them whole-heartedly. If you care to have more information, feel free to reach out to my profile and I would be happy to provide more details. Much success to you, Ed & Therese! You will forever have our families gratitude!

My endorsement of Ed and Therese Milestone is the highest I can possibly give. They are a skilled, talented, honest, and highly ethical team with incredible instincts. They are also wonderful people with whom to work. Their can-do/will-do approach makes the process of selling or buying real estate so much easier for their clients. Ed and Therese represented me in three real estate transactions – two sales and one purchase. Their skill and attention to detail resulted in one sale of a 75-year-old house with a no contingency, over asking offer despite major deferred maintenance; a sale of a townhouse a few years ago in a down-sliding market for full asking in eight days (while other identical but higher priced townhouses lingered on the market and sold for less); and the locating and purchase of a lovely home in six weeks where Ed’s skill resulted in a purchase in a hot and rising market for under asking. In both sales, they managed all the necessary updates for me (repairs, painting, flooring, countertops, appliances, and staging) keeping costs within budget. They have a cadre of connections with reasonably priced vendors who can get the job done in a timely manner. Therese and Ed made certain that the myriad of paperwork in all these transactions went smoothly and that I didn't even need to leave my office to sign all the documents. Over the years I have recommended Ed and Therese to friends. Everyone who has selected them as their real estate team has been delighted with both their relationship and the results. The team of Ed and Therese Milestone is, in my opinion, the best in the business!

We were incredibly pleased with the friendly and professional services of Ed and Therese Milestone of Berkshire Hathaway. The Milestones facilitated every aspect of selling our family home in Golden Gates Heights after our Mom passed away. It was a year-long process, and Ed and Therese guided us from the very beginning. Ed recommended workers who removed leftover furniture & rubbish and removed carpets; painters were hired to completely repaint the home; and floor refinishers brought the Parquet floors back to life. In addition, they worked with a stager who furnished the home with updated styles which made the home look modern and spacious. Ed even hung new light fixtures that gave the house a fresh, new look. Therese reviewed the disclosures with us and explained the significance of SF energy & water ordinances, the tank inspection, and transfer tax. Ed recommended we have property inspections before putting the home on the market resulting in no surprise concessions and a quick close of escrow! Ed and Therese advised us on a realistic listing price which encouraged more people to visit the Open Houses. Additionally, they held 5-hour open houses to bring the most people through. They also had professional photos taken, which were posted on multiple web-sites, which in turn increased the number of interested prospective buyers.We were delighted with the result! On the offer date, we were presented with nine offers most of which were over the asking price. Ed and Therese made reviewing the offers and finalizing the sale seamless. Therese handled all of the paperwork requiring signatures and it was sent electronically to the three executors of the family home. Since we live in three different cities, we appreciated not having to travel to San Francisco to complete the documentation for the sale. The home sold for 11.5% over asking price, which we all appreciated. I feel Ed & Therese Milestone’s slogan, “We go the extra mile for our clients!” is perfect for this energetic team. I highly recommend having this delightful, knowledgeable couple sell your property.

Ed and Therese Milestone were a dream to work with. Within 3 weeks of beginning our search for a home, they had found us the perfect house that has proved to be a great fit for our family. Both Ed and Therese went out of their way to educate us on the process, as we were first time home buyers, and they kept us informed at each stage of the process. We never felt any pressure from them, and they were extremely patient with us as we navigated the often difficult San Francisco market. It was obvious to us that both Ed and Therese know the City and its real estate well, as they are both San Francisco natives. Thanks to their expertise, we were able to win against an all cash offer. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone and if we are ever in need of a Realtor again, they'll be our first port of call.

Selecting the right real estate agent is so important and luckily we selected Therese and Ed Milestone to sell our family home. They were truly hands-on throughout the project and represented our best interests, at all times. From the very beginning they worked side by side with us, providing support, expertise and guidance. We knew they were only a phone call away and the combination of their individual talents, make for a winning team. Our house was only on the MLS for two weeks before we received multiple offers. The whole process went so quickly and efficiently thanks to Therese and Ed. We would recommend Therese and Ed Milestone to anyone who wants to sell their home. The Flaherty Family

After deciding to sell the family home in West Portal, my mother wanted to begin the process of choosing a realtor to help us with this difficult task. My parents had lived there for 40 years and it was a difficult decision for my mother to let it go, but it was time. From their first presentation to the family, Ed and Therese Milestone showed us that they were a well organized team. Each had their strengths - Ed helped us through the steps of getting the house physically ready for sale, from getting contractor bids to installing lighting fixtures to being the great negotiator. Therese was the marketing whiz, putting out the word to thousands of potential buyers via the internet, to walking door to door to meet the neighbors. In the end, we received much more than the asking price for the family home. My mother was enormously happy with the results, both emotionally and financially. We would have Ed and Therese Milestone assist us again with any future home sale without reservation and highly recommend them to assist you with the sale of yours!
