MEET THE EDWARDS
GROUP
This track record is built on systems of success and achieved through the vetting
of South Florida’s Top Realtors to configure our team, The Edwards Group.
It’s important to understand that the average agent with 10 years experience
only sells 10-12 homes per year. Since we sell more, it means that we have more
resources to market your property and help you sell it for top dollar.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Best experience ever. Will always recommend. Me and my
family were very blessed, we got a price that we weren’t
expecting! The Edwards Group did great work selling our
property and I couldn’t ask for more. Thumbs up!
AMAZING and TRUSTWORTHY agents. Went above and
beyond and not only sold our home but helped us buy
another one too. We couldn’t be more happy with the
professionalism and hard work ethic. 1000% recommend
using The Edwards Group.
My wife and I were buy our house in Plantation and being
unfamiliar with the market in Florida we put our trust in
Corey and Heather’s expertise. We did not regret it one
bit. They know the market and the area, we felt totally
comfortable putting our forever home purchase in their
hands. Corey and Heather also handled the sale of my
parents home. The sale went quickly and very smooth. I
would recommend the Edwards group to anyone buying
real estate in South Florida, and I already have.
