Success Stories
Ed worked tirelessly to find me the perfect Bay Head home
Ed worked tirelessly to find me the perfect Bay Head home. I found Ed through a friend after having a bad experience with another realtor. He is responsible, professional and knowledgeable. He knows the market inside and out and is a great negotiator. He was always enthusiastic, very patient and never pressured me. He walked me through the entire process from beginning to end and is always readily available to answer any questions now that I am a Bay Head home owner!

The Suzie and Ed team at Diane Turton Realtors went above and beyond with their quality of service and level of expertise, knowledge, and professionalism.

Any potential home buyer or seller would be most fortunate to work with
Edwin O’Malley and Suzie Van Schoick, working at Diane Turton, Realtors, (with offices located on the Jersey shore), were both superb brokers. In particular, Ed was incredibly responsive to my every question and concern and always available by phone, even on weekends. He made thoughtful recommendations for services that I would need and gladly did any research for me. He always came up with the right solution to any problem that I might have as a new home owner.
I never doubted his ability and willingness to represent my interests as his client. Ed was an outstandingly nice person, as well, always professional and so easy to work with. Suzie, too, was most helpful and communicative. In summary, any potential home buyer or seller would be most fortunate to work with either Ed or Suzie, either individually or as a team.

The Most Professional Person We’ve Ever Worked With
We were so fortunate to have Ed O’Malley working with us to find our home in Bay Head. He grew up in Mantoloking and therefore knows every street in the Bayhead and Mantoloking area. He was able to tell us the pros and cons of every street which we would never had known. He is the most professional person we have ever worked with. He is patient, kind, honest, punctual and extremely organized. He handled everything for us so the entire process from start to finish went smoothly. Every time we reached out to Ed with a phone call, text message, or email he got right back to us. He is always available to meet with you whether its to look at homes or just discuss your plans. We didn’t have to worry about anything as Ed handled everything for us. We highly recommend Ed for both selling and buying a home. He is top notch professional. The Best!

Donna B.
Their attention to detail went above and beyond our expectations
“Suzie and Ed recently helped my wife and I purchase a second home. We had never bought a property out of state and they couldn’t have made the process easier. Their knowledge of the local area and ability to seamlessly guide the process around the holiday season was a blessing. Moreover, their attention to detail and communication went above and beyond our expectations. We would highly recommend them both if you are looking for a home in the Bay Head/Point Pleasant area.”
Pat L.
Real estate agents who care about their clients…
“After many showings, a few offers, Suzie and Ed helped us find our perfect retirement home. They were always available to show us houses, write up contracts and give their professional advice. They truly cared that we were happy and making the right decision. If you’re looking for real estate agents who care about their clients, you should definitely work with Suzie and Ed!”
Bill and Lynn K.
What a great team!
“What a great team! Their knowledge of the local market combined with their marketing product is outstanding. We highly recommend this team to anyone who is thinking about selling their home in the future. Between all the open houses and their attention to detail once the negotiations started, right up to closing, we knew we were in very capable hands. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into the selling of our house!”
Keith and Alyson A.
All you can ask for…
Ed O’Malley is all you can ask for in a realtor. He worked tirelessly to help us purchase our dream beach house. Ed is patient, knowledgeable and thorough. There is definitely nobody that knows more about the area and the market. We highly recommend Ed and hope to work with him again!
Jim and Suzanne M.

Anne F.
Excellent in All Facets
Suzie and Ed were excellent in all facets related to the sale of our home. I considered them “partners” in this process. Indeed, their efforts coupled with outstanding marketing and excellent local market knowledge make them a perfect match for both buyers and sellers. That is exactly why we used them to both buy our home many years ago and when it was time to sell they were the only brokers we would consider.
Keith and Pat P.
Clear eyes, good humor, and a soft touch…
Suzie and Ed know their market — the place, the people, the properties — as well as anyone could. They bring clear eyes, good humor and a soft touch, which in our case allowed them to represent both the buyer and seller (who also knew one another) through gentle negotiations toward a mutually beneficial deal.
David H.
Extremely understanding and professional…
Suzie and Ed helped our family through the difficult situation of selling our father’s home. They were extremely understanding and professional. We couldn’t have asked for more, they consistently kept us updated and informed. We would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a professional real estate agent.
William K.
Above and beyond…
Ed made the process of buying our home as easy and smooth as possible. I would strongly recommend him without reservation. He went above and beyond of what I think is the norm for a broker.
Robin L.
Took away all the hassle…
Working with Ed O’Malley is a game changer. He took away all the hassle of selling my house and got it done. I couldn’t recommend him any higher.
Bobbi B.
Invaluable insight…
It is always good to deal with true professionals. Suzie and Ed’s knowledge of the area and marketplace was critical in listing our home. They also provided us with invaluable insight in staging our home for sale. As a result, the home sold very quickly and the closing process was effortless.
Ron and Bonnie K.
Huge help…
Suzie and Ed have been a huge help in the home buying and renting process. My family and I have used them for many years and have always come back. Their knowledge of the market and ease of doing business puts them at the top of my realtor reference list!
Josh B.
Listen and understand…
Ed and Suzie are very knowledgeable, were patient with the many questions we asked, took the time to listen and understand what we were looking for in our home. They made sure we were comfortable with our purchase and never pushed us to pursue anything. They wanted us to be sure we were getting the home we wanted – not just make a sale.
Tom and Diane L.
A real pleasure…
Working with Suzie and Ed was a wonderful experience for us. They could not have done a better job of keeping us updated on everything that was happening with respect to our property and the market at large. When the right buyer came along they stepped up the information flow and gave us great counsel on how to move forward quickly and cleanly. The whole process could not have gone more smoothly and trouble free! You have proved the importance of retaining the right real estate professionals!
Larry and Kathy M.
Well connected…
Our family had a difficult-to-sell original property on the ocean in Bay Head, encumbered by easements and an oddly placed lot. From the start Suzie and Ed hit the ground running with creative ideas, enormous energy and eagerness to help. They walked us through every part of the process, were respectful to our aged father and made sure he had the major part in all decision making. They know Bay Head and its inhabitants, love the community and are well connected in the area. They are honest, available readily (always) smart and realistic. They don’t just tell you what they think you want to hear, they tell you the truth. What more could one ask for?
Alison L.
Attentive to every detail…
Suzie and Ed were great to work with. Very professional & attentive to every detail that mattered. They were patient with us as we looked at every house possible and they gave us great advice to find the perfect beach house for our family. Highly recommend using them!
Lisa G.
Suzie & Ed are pros…
I can offer no constructive comments. Suzie and Ed are pros and they did a great job.
Stanley W.
Kept us up to date…
Ed and Suzie know everything there is to know about the area – making them the ideal realtors for marketing our Bay Head house. The family is scattered all over the country so could not participate in any meaningful way but Suzie and Ed kept us all up-to-date on everything having to do with the property – including storms! I highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in Bay Head or Mantoloking!
Lorraine O.
Could not be happier…
We recently bought a house in Bay Head, NJ and Ed was amazing. We literally met Ed in August and closed November 1st. Could not be happier and will be recommending Ed to anyone I can. Ed’s knowledge of the area and the market was second to none. Thanks, Ed for making this a breeze! We look forward to many years as neighbors. We are lucky to have you!
Tom G.
We will miss them…
Suzie and Ed are outstanding professionals. They are also outstanding people. Both know the New Jersey shore area thoroughly, have years of experience in representing both buyers and sellers in the market, know the go-to professionals for specific needs and have their customers always at the center of their efforts . They stay in constant communication and any recommendations were well thought out and presented. On behalf of the family, we can’t recommend Suzie and Ed highly enough. They treated selling the long-time, multi-generational family Bay Head house with the utmost sensitivity and professionalism. We will miss them. They are those kinds of people.
Anne L.
Truly fabulous…
“My husband Peter and I met Ed O’Malley years ago and given his friendly nature, his depth of intelligence, and his intimate knowledge of Bay Head and Mantoloking we decided to ask Ed and his professional partner Suzie Van Schoick to represent us in selling our Bay Head beach house.
We had originally engaged the services of another agency who dramatically overpriced our home and the result was no interest, whatsoever. Ed and Suzie correctly priced the home (and it was a super price). The home sold quickly.
Ed walked us through the process, always holding my hand and reassuring me that everything would work out for us. It was an emotional sale, as we raised our children in this beach house, and they were deeply connected to their beach house. Ed instinctively knew this and was calm, clear and kind. In the end, the family who bought the house are wonderful : a match made in Heaven! I felt it was divined that the young family who still live in this perfect summer house could not be more perfect!
On we were to another house, our current home and once again Ed and Suzie led the way! We adore our current home, but we were still searching for the dream home. We found it, thanks to Ed O’Malley. Ed always knew that I told my dear husband I would not retire any further south than Mantoloking! I spied a property (before Superstorm Sandy) that was truly special. It was amazing that the property was not scooped up before we seriously considered a chance to discover “the dream house”!
I think Ed knew this was IT, without my declaration!
We are presently in the throes of developing the property. One day, we may sell our current Bay Head property, but have nor plans to do so. We love Bay Head and can’t imagine leaving at the present time. However, we will certainly be asking Suzie and Ed to assist us in the future!
Thank you for the opportunity to state unequivocally, how truly fabulous Ed and Suzie our “in our book”!
Kindest Regards,
D. Green”

Responsive to our needs…
When we decided to sell our Mantoloking home we knew the only people to contact would be Suzie and Ed of Diane Turton. We had worked with them before and knew the process would be seamless. From the pricing of our home to the final sale their local knowledge of the shore home was spot on. They were always responsive to our needs and could be reached 24/7 with answers to our questions. We were very happy with the results.
Michael D.
Amazing…
You were both amazing to work with and I would recommend you as a team any day!
Debbie P.
Experts in your field…
Thanks so much for making the transaction a delightful experience. We were completely at ease as you walked us through every step. You are truly experts in your field…
John and Geri R.
Helpful and prompt…
I have been working with Ed O’Malley for several months. He has showed me many homes and was always very helpful and prompt. When Ed was away, Suzie followed up in his absence. I am very happy with the responsiveness of this team.
&)e
Dedication…
Suzie and Ed made what could have been a very difficult situation manageable and smooth for my family. Not only were we negotiating the sale from out of state, they maneuvered through the closing even after Superstorm Sandy hit. I can’t thank them enough for their dedication to me and my family throughout the entire real estate transaction.
Kristen H.
True professionalism…
In an age of mediocrity, it was a genuine pleasure dealing with the both of you who showed true professionalism in the good “old-fashioned” way! Again, thank you for being with us every step of the way with bringing the sale of our house to fruition.
Anthony and Dolores L.
Seasoned professionals…
We bought a beautiful home in Bay Head using Suzie and Ed as our realtor. They were seasoned professionals – extremely professional and knowledgeable about the market and community. We felt we were in excellent hands during the entire process. In addition, they were friendly and fun to work with, and we enjoyed getting to know them. We have already and will continue to recommend Suzie and Ed to friends!
Megan K.
Clear and focused…
Our thoughts include a very big “shout out” of thanks and support to you both during a difficult selling process. Your constant positive attitude contributed greatly to a successful conclusion of the transaction. You both demonstrated a clear and focused sense of professionalism that gave us great comfort during the sales process. We felt that we were in the best of knowledgeable hands particularly with respect to local market conditions. This provided a framework of factors that provided a basis for our thinking and conclusions. We are very grateful for the skills and expertise you both brought to the table. As we will be always grateful for your counsel and help, we would be happy to recommend you both to future potential clients. Please feel free to share any of these thoughts with potential clients or share our direct contact with them. Our warmest and sincerest thanks.
Graham and Sally
Extremely responsive…
Suzie and Ed did an excellent job helping with the sale of my mother’s house. They were extremely responsive to our requests and inquiries. They showed sound judgment in all of their advice and counsel. They provided a lot of help in pulling together the team we needed, ranging from legal counsel to companies that helped us empty out the house before closing. They were professional at all times and helped us get to closing day successfully.
Gail S.
Most professional…
We have previously bought eight homes. Ed O’Malley and his associates at Diane Turton Realtors were by far the most professional and attentive team we have dealt with. We would feel very comfortable recommending them to anyone.
Bob and Kathy Bennett
Most pleasant…
Working with Ed and Suzie was the easiest, most pleasant real estate dealing I have ever had. They understood that it was not an easy decision to let go of property that had been in the family for a long time — and they got us the price that we wanted in the time frame we wanted. They stayed in touch as things proceeded without making us feel stressed or pressured. I could not recommend them more.

Expertise…
Thanks to Suzie for all her help and expertise. Because she has lived in the town for so many years, she appreciates how emotional it can be to sell one of the wonderful old homes in Bay Head. She helped me make tough decisions, and I appreciate all she did both once the house was listed and also for the years leading up to ultimately having to sell. She’s great!
Ann N.
Loved…
We have loved working with Ed!! My favorite aspect is the quick responses. My husband loves Ed’s laid back and down to earth personality. He made us feel comfortable from day one, was always willing to work with us and our budget, and was truly on our team! (We haven’t worked directly with Susie but I’m sure she is great too!) We are so lucky to have met these this pair and highly recommend them!

So knowledgeable…
Suzie and Ed were amazing to work with! We had a complicated scenario and they were so knowledgeable. They were always there when we needed them and provided the best advice!
Mary B.
Cannot do better…
The two of them sold my house in record time, with listing to close taking only about two months. You simply cannot do better than Suzie and Ed.
Paula W.
Highly reputable…
You have assisted us on both sides; as buyers and sellers. In both cases and all the time, your professionalism shines thru. We have used other brokers during our over 25 years in Mantoloking and, without a doubt, you are at the top. Words like integrity, broad knowledge and grasp of the markets, promptness, deep history of success and highly reputable, pleasant demeanor and personalities are some that describe you and accounts for, in our opinion, why you are very helpful and successful.
Joe and Janet S.

We would highly recommend this very motivated and professional team to take care of your real estate needs. Thanks Ed and Suzie.

John and Cindi B.
Took the time…
My sister and I used Suzie and Ed to sell property from the estate of a relative. Most agents would consider it to be a quick sale to just get rid of the property, but they took the time to work with us to get the best price possible from the seller.
They understood the area, the conditions (post Sandy) and all of the things needed to get the job done.
The worked with the buyer, who was very demanding regarding requirements for access and inspections, and us as sellers trying to preserve the native flora to get everything done to our satisfaction and get the price we were looking for.
William B.
Best of the best…
Her growing up in Bay Head, having a keen understanding of the area and the market, made choosing Suzie to list our property a wise decision. Her explanations, attention and service gave us a complete understanding of the process from start to closing. She and her partner Ed created a superb and admirably fine listing accompanied by inviting, outstanding pictures. Suzie has the perfect personality to sell as she displays a charming blend of firm but gentle, serious with a pleasant sense of good humor and someone who would be comfortable with beggars and kings. In choosing Suzie, what may be a stressful situation for some will be quite comfortable, knowing you have chosen THE BEST of THE BEST.
JoAnne and Marty B.
Professional manner…
We recommend Suzie & Ed enthusiastically. They listed, marketed and helped us sell our property.in a professional manner & responded to our questions & concerns.

Suzie and Ed helped our family through the difficult situation of selling our father’s home. They were extremely understanding and professional. We couldn’t have asked for more, they consistently kept us updated and informed. We would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a professional real estate agent.
