I KNOW I can't be the only one thinking this but my goodness! Where to even begin w Eric Hofer! If you're looking for a realtor, DO NOT LOOK FURTHER. Eric is the best! When my fiancA(C)e and I took a leap and moved to Idaho a few years ago, Eric was the first realtor that we felt connected and safe w selecting to help us navigate buying our first home and boy were we right on the money! Eric made our buying process SO easy and helped explain things to us as new home buyers that we would have not known had it not been for him. It all went so seamlessly and we were able to purchase the home we wanted even though the home had several offers higher than ours. Luckily for us, he navigated that so well and we came out on top. FAST FORWARD 3 years later and here we were making our next big leap--- selling our first home. Once we decided to sell, we knew that we had no other option but to go back to Eric because of the great experience we had the first time. We had no doubt this was the right choice and we were right! Here we were, again, not knowing the process of selling or how it all worked and he swooped in like the hero once again. Eric was attentive, listened to our needs, but also wasn't afraid to share his recommendations and the "why" behind them. As a curious mind, I never had any questions because they were always answered ahead of time, his proactive nature is stellar! He kept us informed throughout the whole process, kept things moving along , and spent more time with us than I'm sure other realtors would do. We can't thank him enough ! PS. His team is also so amazing! They made sure things got done efficiently internally and signings went SO quickly and w/o a hitch . Their marketing is unbeatable and absolutely gorgeous! I do feel like they do a lot more in that area in comparison to other realty groups. If you are considering Eric as your realtor, please know that you are in great hands! THANKS AGAIN ERIC!!!! You've got a forever customer in us! - Jess and Kirk
Eric is a great realtor! My wife and I have had Eric as our realtor with buying and selling a home. Both times we have felt incredibly fortunate to have worked with Eric. He is solid!

He has made my home buying experience much better than most and all the paperwork online was done on time, since he let you know that there on documents in your email for you to sign.

He is down to earth and helped to calm our anxieties and keep us grounded. These traits came in handy during the negotiation process with our seller. Eric is compassionate and honest.

I never knew house buying process could be any easier. As a first time home-buyer, with practically negligible real-estate knowledge, Eric patiently described the process and answered any of my questions. He heard my preferences and sent me regular updates about the new listings. If I liked, he would immediately schedule a visit for me, sometimes within a matter of few hours. To my surprise, he even helped me walk through contract, that too at midnight, and early morning, due to time limitations. The rest of the home-buying process was a breeze and he was always available for multiple home-visits prior to closing. I'm truly grateful to him for making this process so smooth and I would highly recommend him for anyone looking to buy a new house.

Eric Hofer is the most professional, personable and competent real estate agent I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Eric loves his job, and it really shows in the results he achieves for his clients. I highly recommend Eric to anyone seeking a real estate professional. We will certainly engage him again in our next real estate transaction!
This was my 5th real state transaction in the past 2 years with Eric. The marketing of the property was excellent. There were multiple offers and the house went pending in 5 days and closed within 3 weeks. Eric also helped to get repairs completed and made the entire process very easy for me. Eric is very effective in the selling process just like he was in the buying process. I will certainly use Eric again for my next real estate transaction.
This was our second time using Eric for buying a home. Eric is phenomenal! He is extremely responsive to questions, usually immediately texting or calling. He always makes you feel like you are his only client, even when you see that he sold another house, at the same time, in two days! Our transaction was very tricky with acreage and numerous hurdles. He had to drive quite a distance to meet us, often in horrible traffic, but was always there. He is with you from showing the house to signing your closing docs with the Title company. We had never experienced that before. He becomes a friend that we literally trusted our future to. This was our 5th home buying venture and I have never trusted a realtor more, and felt less stress, than with Eric. He takes the anxiety out of the whole process. We can't thank him enough and will never go elsewhere. If you want the BEST, go with Eric Hofer!
Eric helped me buy my first home in a burgeoning market. He was knowledgeable, patient and quick to tailor my buying journey to fit my needs. Id recommend him to all walks of clients from Boise newcomers to locals seeking a change. I wont use anybody else for real estate needs!
Eric was a great help for me to buy / sell an investment property in Timberstone Golf Club. All communication and transactions done through him in Idaho while living on the East coast went very well. I would definitely seek out his services again in the Treasure Valley.
We began looking for a home about 2 years ago. We reached out to Eric, told him we were from out of state and that we were going to take our time looking for a home. We needed someone we could trust and over a short period of time, we got to know Eric through phone calls, email, weekend visits to Boise. Eric is amazing! He was very knowledgeable about the local market, surrounding cities, etc. He answered all of our questions and concerns. If he didn't know the answer, he would get the answer by the end of the day. That was important to us and it showed what a true professional Eric is. We took our time looking for a home. The whole process went smooth because we could rely on Eric to assist us throughout our search. We recently closed on a beautiful home thanks to all the effort, patience, knowledge, and professionalism of Eric Hofer.
I have bought and sold homes in the past, however Eric far surpassed any prior experience I have had with other agents. He was extremely diligent, responsive and met every deadline as promised. The entire process was seamless and he was able to answer every question I had throughout the process.
Eric Hofer is a five-star realtor! He was always accommodating to our time. We trusted him, felt comfortable around him and thought he was very knowledgeable about the home buying experience. He made us feel like we were his only client he was working with. He was very punctual, a great communicator. He kept us informed at all times, he was a pleasure to be around and very polite. He kept our time-sensitive situation on track and we actually closed 2 days earlier than originally planned. We will definitely reach out to Eric when and if the time comes selling to sell our home and recommend him to all family and friends.
Eric Hofer was referred to me from a dear friend. When I called him, he was professional and personable all in the same conversation. I needed someone I could trust and would take good care of me. When he asked to meet with me at my convenience, amongst completing his own lifes chores, I had a feeling this average Joe was going to work hard and do his best. It turns out he is more than an average Joe and his super powers exceeded my expectations. He was honest and patient with me as my expectations for what I wanted were out of the ball park. His constant communication meant I never wondered about what was happening, I was always in aEURoethe knowaEUR?. Eric is a genuine and exceptional person of character and I would recommend him to any of my friends or family that I want to be in good hands!
We met Eric in Boise in December, when we were first talking about a move from Eugene, OR to Meridian, ID. He was open and friendly and offered resources to aid us in narrowing our search for a new home. Our home in Eugene sold almost immediately and we had to speed up our search. In early February we toured with Eric to see properties we'd ear-marked. Three of them dropped off the market that day. The home we selected was only on the market the day we were touring. It was identified through the links Eric provided through his server. We added it to the "list," Eric made an appointment and we offered the next day. Eric had also helped us get "pre-approved" for a small mortgage. Our initial offer resulted in a contract. We returned to Eugene and began the process of packing and planning. Eric graciously handled the Idaho process: including appraisal, inspections, corrections, and negotiations for moving into our new home. He called regularly and kept us up to date on each step. I have no trouble giving Eric Hofer five stars! His service is excellent, he's easy to talk to, understands market, responsibility and demonstrates follow-through!
Eric was very flexible with our schedule, especially since we have a 3 year old that we had along during many of our viewings of homes. He was also very laid back and did not pressure us into any situation. Eric also offered some great local knowledge to help us land the home that we wanted.
Eric Hofer is a top notch realtor. He partnered with my loan team and made the stressful process of buying a home as easy and painless as possible. Response time was always same day, and usually within an hour. I would recommend Eric to anyone looking to buy a home in the treasure valley.
Working with Eric has been an amazing experience. He is incredibly knowledgeable of the market in Boise, efficient, and dedicated to giving you the easiest home buying experience possible. He goes above and beyond to make sure that you get the best deals. Such a blessing to have him as my realtor!
As clueless first time home buyers, we would have been absolutely overwhelmed without Eric! He walked us through every step flawlessly! He translated all of the real estate jargon, gave honest insights about matters that arose, and supported us even after we closed. He is personable, amicable, honest, and so knowledgeable, and it is clear he takes pride in his work. Our home-buying experience could not have gone smoother, and that is in large part due to Eric's had work and diligence. We would highly recommend!!
Eric was knowledgable and easy to work with from the start! A referral from a mutual friend, I not only got an amazing first home, but I learned so much from him during my search. He met my every question and concern with enthusiasm and determination. If he didn't have an answer, he did the leg work and often got back to me within the same day. We looked at what felt like dozens of homes of all sorts, but he stuck right there with me through the entire process. He truly wanted to give me a great experience. I'm completely confident you won't regret working with Eric!
Ours was a year and a half long business relationship. Eric worked with me. Non intrusive. Thorough, he follows through. You will be lucky to work with Eric Hofer, Very Happy.
Eric was a very good agent; thanks to him we were able to buy the house of our dream in Meridian, Idaho Not only he participated actively to our house research but he also helped us until the final signature and even did much more than we can expect from an real estate agent Thanks Eric
Eric made, what can be a very stressful time, a very exciting experience. He gave us great advice and with his expertice we sold our home in less than a week. He took the time to get to know us and what we wanted in a new home. We were shown many homes by Eric and he was so patient and made sure we had the perfect home. Thank you.
Eric was great to work with. He was extremely patient through the house hunting process. He worked hard to get my offer accepted and negotiating needed repairs. He walked me through each step once my offer was accepted. Would highly recommend him to my friends and family
Eric is knowledgeable, courteous and a connected realtor. He was readily available for us. You can tell he truly loves helping his clients find the right home for them. Thank you Eric.
Early on in the buying process when I was browsing the internet for homes, Eric reached out to me to see if I needed any assistance. I wasn't quite ready so he continued to check in with me every so often and was always courteous and professional without being overbearing like some agents can be. When I was ready to start looking at homes, Eric made every effort to arrange viewings around my schedule - which was fairly busy being a single mom with a full time job. Eric was straight forward throughout the entire buying process and also had compassion towards my needs and concerns. He helped me secure my first home and took great care in closing the deal. I highly recommend Eric and would call on him again for any real estate needs.
Eric was amazing. He always kept me updated and if needed walked thru steps. There was never a day I didn't know status of my home buying process. Always came prepared with all information.
Eric epitomizes expertise and customer service. He was on top of every detail and negotiated effectively every step of the way. I will be recommending him to all my friends and colleagues.
A Professional who goes the extra mile for you and does not mind explaining the process. Eric is a wonderful man who will make the experience of selling your home seem easy. He gets the job done in a timely fashion and handles all the bumps with a smile. Sioux fisher
If you're an out-of-towner buying into Boise, you can't beat Eric as your realtor. Anticipating our needs every step of the way, he made use of his local knowledge, contacts and proximity to get us the best information in the timeliest manner for negotiating. Additionally, he was great at communicating and keeping us apprised of progress. We couldn't appreciate his professionalism more.
I've had the pleasure of working with Eric on a couple occasions and have been really impressed with his professionalism, business savvy, availability and knowledge of real estate. Eric had a great strategy for selling my home, at top dollar, within hours of being listed. He also found and negotiated a fantastic deal on my subsequent home purchase and helped me through the process one step at a time. I could sense he had my best interest at heart and was extremely satisfied with all the concessions I received as he stepped up to bat for me at the negotiating table. I would recommend Eric to my closest friends and family.
Eric made the home buying process feel like I wasn't even buying a home. He is extremely friendly and easy to talk to. He truly cares about his clients. There was never any pressure.. just Eric's support, professionalism, extensive knowledge and eagerness to use what he knows to provide only the best to fit his client's best interests. He always kept in touch and never left me wondering where I was in the process. Eric's dedication to his clients is unmatched. His response to questions and/or concerns is always immediate, no matter the time of day (or night). Eric is not only an extraordinarily pleasant person, he made the purchase of my home a very stress-free experience for me. Eric is hands down the best realtor in the valley.
Working with Eric Hofer was such a pleasure. We could not be happier with our house buying experience. He is so personable and down to earth. He took all the stress out of the whole experience. We cannot say anything but the best about him. We highly respect his business etiquette and could not have wished for a better realtor!
Eric was easy to work with and truly made the process of selling our home a breeze. He was quick to get our house on the market and quick to sell it. We had a full price offer in less than 24 hrs of having it on the market! Thanks Eric!!
I got the great pleasure to get to work with Eric this year. I was a first time home buyer and I was so nervous to even start looking at a house. I was referred to Eric by a friend and was highly impressed with how well he took care of me. There was a complication that came up with the house that I bought and Eric was very on top of it and was calling the selling agent every day trying to figure out why we didn't have any information. He made sure that he updated me along the process and as soon as he got information he let me know. I feel that Eric was the best pick for me as a first time home buyer he was so patient with me. One thing that I really like he was so willing to show me houses when ever time worked best for me there was one day that we even went and looked at a house on the weekend. I am very very impressed with the working with Eric and I would recommend him to anyone that is looking to by a house.
My wife and would highly recommend Eric. He is knowledgeable and easy to talk to. We never felt pressured or uncomfortable. He answered any and all questions with very helpful advice. We liked his constant communication with us, we never had to wonder what was going on or what the next step would be. His step by step process never let us get overwhelmed. Eric was always avalible even on weekends. He took us around to look at house's on a Saturday and we ended up taking up a good part of a Sunday putting in an offer for the home we ended up closing on. He was happy to help us.
We live in Sioux Falls,SD and plan to retire in Boise,ID to be close to our children and grandchildren. We met Eric after responding to a listing in Boise that we saw on the Internet . He called us promptly and proceeded to inquire as to our wants and needs and our time frame for moving. Even though we told him that it would likely be at least a year before we would put our plans into action he continued to work with us and maintained a close relationship. He kept us informed as to the housing market situation and even emailed detailed information about the city. We eventually found the home of our dreams that we will live in as a multigenerational family in Eagle, ID with our daughter, son-in-law, and grandkids. We have Eric to thank for making this long- distance transaction smooth and worry-free. He will definitely work with you and will guide you through the process every step of the way!
Eric is the best! This was my first home purchase and I had to make the transaction from a remote location. Eric took the extra time and effort necessary in order to help me through the entire process. He was always quick to answer any of my questions and exuded an upbeat and professional manner every single time I spoke with him. He never spoke down to me and always helped me understand, what can be, a very complicated difficult process. I closed today on my first home and I could not have asked for a better man to help me along the way. Thank You Eric!
Eric did an awesome job, very knowledgeable all the way through the process. Fixed what needed fixed and answered all my questions. Can't express enough thanks!
Eric is easy to work with. He is knowledgeable about the process. If you have questions about things he gives his best answer and checks facts to reconfirmed his answer. He also is very quick to respond to any questions or concerns.
We appreciated with my wife his patience to explained us all the processing document as we were not familiar with. Eric was also a good helper to keep pushing the mortgage process.
As a first time seller, Eric provided me with sound advise and direction to help me be successful with my first home sale. He was honest with his feed back when it came to upgrades I was thinking about doing to the house to maximize the listing price. I appreciated how quick he was about getting back to me when I would leave him a voice mail / email as well. I look forward to working with Eric again.
Eric Hofer's understanding of the housing market and the home buying process was instrumental in helping my wife and I find our forever house. I highly recommend Eric to anyone looking for a competent, knowledgeable, and caring realtor. I would without hesitation use Eric as my realtor should the need arise again.
Eric was great to work with. always returned calls, was there to talk to about problems that came up. Did all the research on questions we found when looking at the houses. Didn't push you at any times. He has my vote to sell or buy again. Call him if you are looking for that person that will go the extra mile for you.
