Ed Howell

Real Estate has always fascinated me since the purchase of my first home in 1983!
After an amazing, successful, 35+ year career in sales and sales management in the Hi-Tech Electronics Industry, I have chosen to pursue a new beginning as a Sales Representative in Real Estate. Now, after completing my first two years, and obtaining additional professional development, I have received my Brokers certification.

The GTA has been my home since the age of 3 and after graduating from the University of Toronto with a Bachelor of Commerce Degree, I decided to make Oakville my permanent residence where I have raised my 3 daughters.

I have known Brett Smiley for over 40 years, and we spent our summer months in 1982 backpacking through Europe. It seemed a natural fit for me to join The Brett Smiley Team at Royal LePage for my second career.

I have played both hockey and baseball at the highest competitive amateur levels and can be found on the links at The Oakville Golf Club in my spare time during the summer months. Other interests include biking, hiking, volunteering with the Mississauga Rebels in the GTHL as well as the annual Courage Polar Bear Dip. I have also been a regular blood donor with over 115 donations.

With The Brett Smiley Team you will receive a level of experience and service that forges friendships for years. Let us know how we can assist you with Real Estate advice or when buying and selling so you can make an intelligent decision for the purchase of your most valuable asset.
