• Get Started

Ilhama Safarova - Cafe Owner

"I had no idea where to begin when it came to relocating my bakery. There were too many options, too many unknowns—and I didn’t want to make an expensive mistake. Ed stepped in and immediately brought structure to the process. He found us the perfect location, walked me through every step of the lease, and helped me plan out what launching in a new area would actually look like. He made the whole experience feel manageable—and for the first time, exciting."

Nesa Nazemi - Business Referral

“Working with Ed was an absolute game-changer. He helped my client find the perfect second location in Alexandria—and the transformation has been incredible.
I recently visited the space and couldn’t stop thinking about how far it’s come since our first walkthrough. They are thrilled with the result, and the new location truly feels like an extension of their brand.
I had no hesitation introducing Ed to a close friend of mine, who’s now searching for her own commercial space. Ed has the rare ability to make commercial deals feel smooth, strategic, and personalized. If you’re opening, relocating, or expanding—he’s who you want in your corner.”
