About Edwin

The financial planner's eye, applied to real estate.

Twenty years ago, Edwin realized helping people buy or sell a home wasn't enough. He became a financial planner with Northwestern Mutual and later New York Life to understand everything that affects a family's biggest financial decision. Sometimes his advice is to move forward. Sometimes it's to wait. Sometimes it's not to buy at all.
