954 Barnegat Lane, Mantoloking (Our listing)
When the owner was ready to downsize, and retire to Florida, they reached out to us to answer their questions, and to guide them through the process.
"Welcome to a coastal masterpiece that offers bay and sunset views, a private dock (with room for boats large and small), and the best of indoor and outdoor living. Enjoy sun-soaked afternoons on the waterfront deck, entertaining in the gourmet kitchen, as well as the peace and quiet of the primary suite with its secluded balcony.

Conveniently located between the centers of Mantoloking and Bay Head, to enjoy all that those towns have to offer."
"Fantastic..."
Ed did a fantastic job selling my father’s house. It was a very tough time as it was an estate sale and I was out of state. He helped in so many ways going above and beyond just showing the house. - Jennifer B.. - Google

50 Bridge Avenue, Bay Head
An elderly relative had passed away, and it was time to sell. The heirs interviewed several agents, and chose us to help market and sell the home that they had grown up in.
"Life at 50 Bridge Avenue is Special! Enjoy a short walk to the beach to see the sunrise, stroll by Mueller's to pick up crumb cake and coffee, then sit on your front porch to watch Bay Head come to life, and savor the summer breezes... After a dip in the ocean, and maybe lunch, is it time to relax on the porch again, go for a walk, or sit on the rear deck? What about dinner? Perhaps walk to one of the local restaurants or stay home and grill out... After dinner, the choices continue - walk around the corner to Twilight Lake to watch the sunset, sip a glass of wine on the porch, or play a game on the second story screened porch... Come see for yourself, and build your memories and stories here... "

978 East Avenue, Mantoloking
We first met this client when they inquired about another listing of ours, but when 978 East Avenue came on the market, they were ready! It was a competitive, multiple offer situation, but in the end, with some creative strategy, we one!
"East Avenue, aka The Healthy Highway in Mantoloking. Imagine waking up and walking across the street to catch the sun rise right out of the ocean! Mornings could begin with a tranquil jog, bike ride, or walk along the barrier island's scenic route, breathing in the fresh, salty air. Every room is sun drenched with massive amounts of light. Three bedrooms and 3 and a half bathrooms are waiting for you to bring her back to her glory or make it into the beach getaway that you have been looking for." (caption from listing)
"Seamless"
Ed was the best! Buying a home can be stressful but his expertise and knowledge of market (along with his calm demeanor) made our purchase seamless. I would give him our highest recommendation. - Paul B. - Google
We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Ed O'Malley. From our first phone call, Ed hit the ground running to help us find properties that fit our criteria, taking a lot of the leg work out of the process for us.He often had the answers to our questions before we even asked them, and if he didn't, Ed got back to us in short order. He is accessible, knowledgeable, patient, and an all around professional. We look forward to many years in our new home, thanks to Ed's help and dedication. - Mollye M.
Ed O'Malley is a true professional. He knows the market, takes the time to know the wants of the buyer and most importantly - is a gentleman and a pleasure to work with. - Danielle D.
Ed and Suzie have helped us rent out our house in Bay Head and done a wonderful job. But they do so much more than just that. They are responsive, helpful and insightful when it comes to anything related to your home. They have both gone above and beyond for us whenever we have needed it and we trust them completely. - Arthur L.
We worked with Ed for more than 2 years as we learned about the Spring Lake/Sea Girt/Bay Head/Mantoloking area, looked at properties, negotiated the purchase of a newly constructed home and ultimately closed on the property. Ed is extremely knowledgeable of the market, has great insight and offered well balanced and thoughtful counsel. He was highly responsive and invested significant time with us as we considered houses in several towns on the shore. I would strongly recommend that any prospective buyer or seller work with Ed and Suzie at Diane Turton. - Jim M.
