Meet realtor, Ed Searle, Chair of the Haus und Garten Tour 2025
From Ed:
I chose to chair the Haus und Garten Tour because I truly am in love with this neighborhood—both as a resident and as a local Realtor.

German Village is such a special place, and this event is one of the beautiful ways we celebrate its charm, history, and sense of community. It’s an honor to help showcase the incredible homes and gardens that make this place so unique, and to welcome others into a neighborhood I’m deeply passionate about."

"The theme 'Life is a Cabaret' came from wanting to capture the spirit of celebration, glamour, and a little bit of theatrical fun. German Village has such a rich cultural vibe, and this theme felt like the perfect way to bring people together for an unforgettable night."
The homes selected for this year’s Haus und Garten Tour showcase some truly inspiring renovations and breathtaking gardens. Each one reflects the homeowner’s passion and commitment to preserving the charm of German Village while adding their own personality and style. From meticulous restorations of historic details to stunning modern updates that honor the past, every space tells a story.

We also chose homes with gardens that feel like hidden sanctuaries—lush, creative, and thoughtfully designed. It’s a beautiful mix of old and new, and we wanted the tour to reflect the best of what makes this neighborhood so special."

I volunteer with the German Village Society and Village Connections. Beyond that, I enjoy supporting local events, exploring historic architecture, and spending time in the community. I love to travel, with my favorite destination being London of course!
"I chose to live in German Village because it felt like home the moment I walked the brick streets. The charm, history, and strong sense of community are truly unmatched. I love being surrounded by beautiful architecture, lush gardens, and neighbors who genuinely care about preserving what makes this place so special."
I enjoy walking my two Boson Terries around the neighborhood, sipping cocktails on many of the beautiful patios and connecting with the many interesting, wonderful neighbors.
My home was on the 2022 Haus und Garten Tour and my previous home was on the 2019 Tour. My partner Byron and I hosted a 'Moulin Rogue' themed PreTour party at our house in 2023 and we hope to host a dinner again next year....!
