ReviewErik brought enthusiasm, ideas, knowledge of the area and a hard work effort to selling our home. After a difficult year of working with two other agents that either thought passivity or constant price reduction were decent methods to achieve success, I decided to do the research and make a list of the best sellers in Highland Park. After meeting with many top agents Erik won us over! And even better found buyers quickly!

Review Third time was the charm for us! Erik Gimbel is a miracle worker, a fixer, a friend, and a true competitor when it comes to making sure that his clients come out on top. We spent nearly a year working with two other realtors trying to sell our house with terrible results. Erik came on board with that disadvantage. BUT he didnt see it that way! He was filled with enthusiasm and optimism about the house and breathed new life into a very stagnant situation. And it wasnt just talk! He started to advertise aggressively and to show the house enthusiasticallyaEUR"and he sold our house in FOUR DAYS!!! His sales skills are second to none! Hes incredibly savvy about all aspects of the housing and financial markets, he knows Chicago and the suburbs like the back of his hand, and hes endlessly patient with any questions or nervousness that might come up. Part business guru, part psychologist, Erik can do it all! And hes a pleasure to work with. Just meet with him! Erik is the real deal!

Review I highly recommend Erik Gimbel. Erik help us from the moment we contacted him to assist in selling our home. He guided us with pricing so that we would attract the right buyers. Erik made himself available for showings regardless of the time of day or evening. Erik brought in his own painter and handyman to make the house look appealing and up to date. When offers came in he was helpful with assessing the buyers and their offers. Ultimately, Erik helped us negotiate the final price and saw it through to the closing. Erik is a great guy on top of being an outstanding professional.

Review I had a wonderful experience with Erik. Hes an experienced Realtor who helped guide me through my complicated virtual closing as I was in another state due to Covid. This was my first real estate purchase and Erik assisted me on the location, financial ins and outs, who my lawyer should be (whom Id also recommend), and walked me through the whole process with my bank and title company. He made me feel comfortable closing on a property from another state through this troubled Covid era, Id highly recommend his experienced services to anyone looking to purchase any real estate.

Review From the very first meeting with Erik, we knew we were working with a top level professional. As first time buyers, we feared we had many fears & an overwhelming plethora of questions surrounding this experience - but, he quickly put those worries to rest & was essentially a walking encyclopedia; explaining everything in great detail, every step of the way. His level of knowledge regarding the handful of communities we were looking at, definitely came in handy when helping paint the picture of what our new lives would look like & definitely helped shape our evolved search requirements. We couldn't be happier with our new home & investment in our future. It's clear why Erik Gimbel came so highly recommended to our family; extremely professional, yet personable & a true expert at his trade. We consider ourselves lucky to have worked with the Best Realtor in the North Shore, Chicago, & Chicagoland!

Review Erik helped us buy and sell our home within a 5 year period. During the purchasing process, he helped us with showings and with the full process, we were very happy with our home purchase. During the selling process, which happened during the early stages of the coronavirus outbreak, he helped us with several hiccups in the process, and we were successful in selling our home and maximizing the value of our home and all the updates we made to it. Overall, we were very happy with Erik. Thanks Erik!

Review Erik helped us find and purchase the perfect house for our family. He was always there throughout the process and was able to work closely with the seller's broker to make the transaction a success. Erik was even able to negotiate the seller down to the price point that we were looking for. Any questions or concerns throughout the process were quickly handled and resolved.

Review Erik is a thorough professional and a joy to work with. He is kind, patient and extremely knowledgeable about the houses, neighborhoods and process of renting and owning. As we were making a transition from city life to suburb, we found ourselves warped with many questions that Erik had great real answers to. Beyond everything, we found his sense of humor and his ability to make us smile the most endearing while managing transitions. We'd highly recommend Erik who has been fully supportive and helpful even outside of our professional commitment.

Review 5 STARS!!!! Erik not only helped us when we relocated from Florida to Chicago, he sold our home when we decided to move back to the Sunshine State! His ability to make a huge life decision feel less stressful is amazing on both the selling and the buying side. We not only had an excellent realtor, we gained a friend! We cannot thank him and his awesome team enough!

Review We were looking for a realtor with experience and knowledge of Highland Park, since we chose to move there but needed a professionals help with neighborhoods, etc. We were referred to Erik by a colleague, and after a quick google search and glance at his website, we realized he's quite literally the best in the area. And it shows. He drove us all around Highland Park, Deerfield, etc explaining the history of the schools, local businesses, parks, etc, something only someone who has lived there their whole life could do. It got us so excited to move there and start our own memories. The biggest thing that stood out to me about Erik though is that yes, he's very successful and sells million dollar homes, but he treated us the same way he would treat clients with millions of dollars. We were definitely a smaller budget and commission for him, but his passion and determination for not only finding us the perfect house (something we didn't make easy on him, I was picky!) but making it a smooth transition, never let up and we are truly forever grateful. Erik is a breath of fresh air, a quick responder, a hilarious man who made this process FUN, and now, a friend.

Review Erik Gimbel is hands down the absolute best Real Estate Broker we could ever have wished for. From the moment we contacted him to long after close, he went above and beyond: to find us our dream house that checked all our boxes and more than we ever could have imagined, to assist with lining up the best professionals for post-close repairs, to make sure that we had everything we needed throughout the process. Every step of the way from the very start he was nothing but incredible- attentive, responsive, proactive, positive, productive, efficient, and a joy to work with. He also happens to be a great guy with a sense of humor that kept us all giggling with every communication. I never thought the daunting process of finding and buying a home could actually be so enjoyable. Anyone not using Eriks services to buy or sell their home is missing out! We are eternally grateful for everything he has done for us.

Review We worked with Erik to buy a home in Elmhurst in April 2017. Throughout the process, Erik was highly responsive and very helpful. He always put focus on our needs as the customer above all else. I highly recommend working with Erik and I won't hesitate to work with him again if the need comes up in the future.

Review We were relocating from Canada to Chicago and needed a good agent to not only help us find a good home but provide plenty of local information for us to be comfortable with our choice of new location. We were VERY fortunate to find Erik after seeing a property online that we wanted. Not only did Erik help us with that property, but he dedicated the whole weekend to show us over 20 other properties and give us valuable insights into all the local communities around the Northern Chicago area. His proactive efforts helped us secure our dream home. I have been a corporate sales leader for over 25 years and I can confidently say Erik is one of the best salespeople I have had the pleasure of dealing with and I highly recommend him.

Review It was a pleasure to work with Erik & I look forward to working with him again some day in the future. He made a very stressful situation easy and my daughters & I even had fun. We had a "delicate" situation on the sale side as the house was being sold due to divorce. Erik was excellent in navigating the challenges associated with that transaction. On the buy side, we ended up purchasing a short sale home & he was extremely knowledgeable about the process & always available when I had questions or concerns.

Review Erik is a great real estate broker. He is very friendly and easy to talk to from the very beginning. I told him what I was looking for and had one rather unique request. Erik listened and the very first place he showed me had that request on the property. It showed me that he didn't just show places in my price range but really listened to get me what I wanted. We worked together and I ended up getting that first place he showed me! He explained each step so I understood what was happening during the purchase process and made everything seem to move along rather smoothly. I would highly recommend Erik Gimbel as a Real Estate Broker. He is highly knowledgable in his business, but more importantly he is very personable. He wants each of his clients to be happy with their new home.

Review Erik sold our house in 3 days. My mother who is 90 needed to go into a nursing home after living in her house for 65 years. I tried on my own for 3-4 weeks. I got a lot of lookers but no close. One of the lookers was Eric. He loved the place. A house built in the late 1920's. I waited several days before signing a contract with Eric. I turned it over to him on a Tues. late afternoon. Thurs. was 4th of July but on Fri. he had about 8 couples go through pretty much at the same time. Mom was still there. On Sat. morning he called telling me he had an ok day. He only had 2 full price offers and several others. I couldn't believe it. I think having so many at once made people move. We sold it to a bidder who went higher than list. All the worries I had for a couple years went away within 3 days. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!! Thanks Eric, you are a true pro.
