Description
Edward Staver started his career as a real estate professional in 2017, when he made the move from the busy streets of Los Angeles, California to St. George, Utah. While living in LA, he was introduced to the craft of buying and selling homes by broker Kim Nelson of Absolutely Fabulous Estates (CA) who he eventually went on to marry. They now have three children, two dogs and reside in The Homesteads at Stucki Farms in sunny and beautiful Washington, Utah.
Edward was born in Dubuque, Iowa and grew up just down the Mississippi River in the Quad Cities. He studied Theatre at the University of Illinois at Chicago and finished his degree at Illinois State University. He then traveled the country as a professional actor, treading the boards in over 25 states and 75+ productions at various equity theaters, storefront playhouses and two national tours. He moved to Los Angeles in 2010, and eventually auditioned his way into several commercials and independent films while supplementing his time in the hospitality industry as a bartender. The vast majority of Edward’s friends and family reside in the Mid-West region of the country from Chicago to Nashville, and due to his work as an independently contracted actor for many years, he still has contacts in nearly every single state and loves to visit family and friends when traveling.
Edward joined Summit Sotheby’s International Realty in late 2021 after being drawn to their reputation as Utah’s only full-service real estate brokerage with the ability to provide an unmatched luxury real estate experience for every property – regardless of location, price-point, or size of home. Now, supported by in-house teams specializing in transaction management, marketing and advertising, professional photography, videography and more, Edward can focus on providing his clients with elevated local real estate services that are backed by the global reach and power of the Sotheby’s International Realty brand.
In his free time, Edward enjoys playing guitar, golfing, fishing/hunting, enjoying rare cuisine and raising his three children while giving back to the Southern Utah community with his time and resources when available. He also enjoys reading; Earnest Hemingway, Eugene O’Neill and William Shakespeare are a few of his all-time favorite writers – however, the vast majority of books he currently consumes are non-fiction works through Audible.
Edward has always felt the need to serve; whether it be mixing up a drink at the bar or reciting a soliloquy, his audience has always come first. Edward feels the same about his career as a REALTOR®, the needs of his clients always come first. Edward’s strong, in-depth understanding of Utah’s current market conditions mixed with the ability to create substantial, lasting relationships have led him to close over 125 transactions in his first four years with the Washington County Board of REALTORS®. He strongly believes that at the heart of any great community, there is a well-formed network of philanthropy, outreach, food and art. Edward is excited about the growth in these areas that St. George has recently experienced and looks forward to being a part of Southern Utah’s future as he continues to establish himself as a top Sales Professional in the area with Summit Sotheby’s International Realty.
