We are very pleased in Erics skills in finding our new home. He has been extremely patient and kind throughout the whole process. He had a great vision on how to convert the existing house to what we were looking for, while also warning us about the potential problems that the new house might have. Eric is one of the best realtors you will ever find. 10 out of 10 would recommend.
I couldnt be happier with having Eric as our realtor both for purchasing our home and selling our condo. Especially for our home purchase, where Eric was amazing at assisting us with navigating a pretty unique selling scenario where we wanted all of the protection and advice we could get. Throughout our home search, he was constantly there whenever we called or texted, suggested homes to see that showed he knew what we were truly looking for, and most importantly, provided excellent wisdom during our tours of houses, pointing out issues and pros and cons that we never would have noticed ourselves. He has an extraordinary depth of knowledge when it comes to what to look for in a house that really made us comfortable deciding on what to pass on, what to make offers on, and how much. The appraisal on our home landed right on his estimate, and ultimately, we couldnt be happier with the house! On the selling side, we leaned heavily on his confidence in how to price and when to change up the strategy and ultimately, we are extremely satisfied with the offer we received and how smooth the selling process was. Lastly, he has great contacts and can provide great recommendations for services that may be needed for new homeowners. I would wholeheartedly recommend Eric to anyone looking for a realtor they can trust to have their best interest in mind.

Thank you again Eric for making our dream home a reality!????????
My husband and I are looking for homes in Nutley and Eric has been working with us since a few months now. We feel really comfortable working with him since there is absolutely no pressure to buy or to put an offer. He is generous with his time and thoroughly explains us every minute detail. He is extremely patient, communicates everything effectively and provides honest answers. Would highly recommend!
Eric is an excellent realtor! He knows the housing market very well! He is professional, responsive and honest! We would definitley recommend using him as a realtor!
Kathryn DeSilva helped us find our aEURoehomeaEUR?. She was patient, responsive, knowledgeable and honest. Her integrity and work ethics were what we liked most about her. It was not about making a sale, but it was about helping find us our home.
Eric is your guy! If you are looking for a pragmatic and straightforward approach to buying/selling a home, you found it. Eric understands that a decision of such magnitude has both financial and emotional implications and he is equipped to handle both. He presents you with real information that will help guide you in your decision process. He is incredibly open and honest. You're going to get someone whose genuine concern is that you are making the right decision and are happy about it. There is no pushing. He is even keeled and professional. There was never a time he wasn't available to us and was there helping up and through move in. Highly recommended.
Eric knows houses inside and out. As someone that used to make a living renovating houses, he was able to tell us how much different jobs would cost and in what time frame things would need to be replaced. Most importantly, he could pick out major problems and we avoided disasters. On our first walk through of the house that we bought, he estimated the age of the roof, appliances and windows. After we got all of the information on the house, we found he was spot on with his estimations down to the exact year. He did an incredible assessment and there hasn't been a single surprise since buying the house. Whether you want a fixer upper or something that has been renovated, he is essential. He knows where flippers cut corners and can even tell you how to fix things yourself. A significant added bonus is that he connects you to all of the best people in the area to complete the purchase and for resources to carry out your plans long after he would be a part of the process. Everyone we spoke to kept saying how lucky we were to have worked with him and the people he recommended. He can walk you through every step. He is calm and extraordinarily accommodating. We were a part of the COVID rush out of the city and if Eric was able to successfully help us navigate this market, he can do it for anyone at any time. He is very patient and we never felt rushed. He was willing to go back and revisit houses and always kept us updated with what was going on. Buying a house is an exhausting process but Eric kept us hopeful throughout the many disappointments. He kept us in check when we wanted to overspend and his priority was that we would be happy after our purchase even when it delayed his income. We have interacted with many brokers and it's not always easy to identify a broker that is genuine and has your interest in mind over their paycheck until it's too late. It is a cutthroat job and it is rare to find someone that can still keep you, as a person, in mind. When it was not the right house, he talked us out of it and when another broker tried to rush us out of the house, he did not fold. He is an advocate and you can know that he is giving you honest recommendations. Skip the other brokers. We feel lucky and we are in an amazing home!
Eric is the most amazing realtor and one of the best people I've met. His patience is astounding. I can attest to that because I am a handful on a good day! he was a pleasure to work with while buying my first house. The process took months but he was there the whole time guiding, advising and talking me off the ledge more than a few times. He came with me to all inspections and drove me to the closing office on closing day (not sure if that's standard but he did it for me and that helped calmed me on the day). He's followed up with me after closing and recommended people and companies when I asked. All in all, I'd use him over and over again and recommend him to anyone who asks! Thanks Eric :)
Eric helped us find our first home! From the outset he was very consultative in nature. He was not your "pushy" typical salesman. He took the time to really understand what we were looking for in a home. He was able to provide a bespoke list based on our parameters. He saved us from over paying for a house and because of this advice we ended up in our dream home. He has deep local knowledge of the towns and overall process. He was always responsive with any questions or doubts we had. I would highly recommend Eric to any person looking to purchase their first home. Overall a great pleasure to work with.
Eric was an invaluable resource for us in buying our first home. His knowledge of the area is superb. He is responsive, professional, and a great problem solver. He was even willing to go the extra mile to make sure we successfully completed our purchase. We would recommend him without hesitation to any serious home buyers.
My husband and I had an awesome experience hunting for our first home with Eric. We went out with Eric on several weekends with a list of homes and he did a great job helping us find the perfect one. We provided a list mid-week. Eric did thorough research on each property before we went out to see it that weekend. He instantly got a feel for what we were looking for and was able to rule out some properties for us so as not to waste time. Eric was also knowledgeable of structural issues to look out for which was extremely helpful as first time home buyers. He made our house-hunting process smooth and painless. We would highly recommend him to other buyers.
Eric was very helpful and patient in the apartments.. as first time home buyers we had some many questions and Eric would patiently answer all of them.. he was very responsive and professional... Would definitely recommend Eric! He also knows the expenses incurred in typical renovation which is a great plus.. it helps in planning the overall home cost..
Eric was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire home buying process. As out of state buyers, we were really relying on his local knowledge and industry expertise to guide us. He did not disappoint! He found us the perfect home in the perfect location and was always available to patiently answer our many questions. His honesty, genuinely caring attitude, and willingness to go the extra mile are what set him apart and gave us a sense of security since we were not always able to be present. I highly recommend Eric as an agent and will definitely use him for all of our future NJ real estate needs!
Eric came highly recommended to us by a friend and we couldn't have been more pleased with our experience with him. He was patient with husband and I as we went back in forth with towns. He listened to us both and helped us figure out what area/town fit what we were looking for especially with a infant and thinking of her future and wanting a family oriented area but also a great school district. In just a short few months he found us a beautiful home in a great neighborhood and we couldn't be happier! If your looking for a realtor that is patient, listens to your wants/needs and gets the job down I would recommend Eric!
Eric came highly recommended by family and friends. I appreciated his willingness to work around my busy schedule. He was generally knowledgable about each property shown. As a first-time home buyer, I most appreciated his ability to walk me through this whole process. I am very happy in my new home and have much to thank Eric for it.
Very pleased with Eric's responsiveness and availability for appointments and overall candor. He provided prompt updates as well in his continued search for a tenant.
Eric was an amazing realtor for us when we sold our house. Within less than a week of being on the market, we accepted an offer above list price. He helped us get our house ready to be shown on the market (I've never seen my house as nice looking as when he staged it for us), picked a good list price that moved the house quickly and still got us great offers, and performed numerous little tasks along the way to make the process go as smoothly as possible. I wholeheartedly recommend him if you're looking for an honest, hardworking realtor, who will look out for your best interests.
Eric was an outstanding guide in my home search process. He has valuable insight to the area and took my desired home characteristics to build a very successful viewing schedule that helped me find my new home. I would highly recommend Eric to anyone seeking to move to NJ.
I was in search of a investment property and Eric guided me throughout the whole process. As a fellow licensed realtor in another state I was impressed with Eric's local knowledge and excellent communication. His genuine interest in helping clients reach their goals along with his ability to problem solve in high pressure situations are what set him apart as an agent. If you have an opportunity to work with him I highly recommend doing so!
I've worked in the mortgage industry for over 10 years and have come across many realtors who were all cut from the same mold - find some homes that didn't appeal to clients, pushy when it comes to clients on the fence with making a decision, and were really there to just open the front door of the house for you; not do their homework on the house. When my fiance and I started the home process, I was dreading working with a realtor knowing they'd get a big commission for practically doing nothing other than opening that front door and talking like captain obvious. I've never worked with Eric during my time in the mortgage industry but met him at a real estate investment group meeting. His trusted expertise in financial management (from an investor point of view) has been so useful in helping us find a house that fits within our budget and not the banks lending guidelines. Not only does he find potential gems for us, but when showing the houses, Eric is familiar with the home first. He's able to point out details about the foundation and roof when walking the perimeter of the home, the quality of the craftsmanship and materials used, approximate lifespan of windows and those big clunky machines in the basement, and points out the type of electrical work and what it means. The #1 rule in real estate is location, location, location and Eric makes sure that the house you're looking for is in the right location. The attentiveness to detail and preparation when showing a home truly makes Eric an asset to have when searching for a home to buy.
