As a 3rd generation agent working full-time since 2012, my clients will benefit from my diligence when reviewing contracts and how they can negotiate the best options from the transaction. When selling, I plan to be a part of the process from early-on, and continuing my services even after the transaction is complete. Coordinating a buy and sell scenario for my upsizing / downsizing clients is a specialty among many others. My goal is to efficiently and ethically represent my clients by establishing a positive and confident business relationship.

1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Establish a relationship with a mortgage lender and real estate agent early. This will allow your finances to get in order and even boost your credit score; while I would help coordinate your purchase timeline, start-to-finish expectations, and set up your home search.
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
Time is precious. Start talking with your agent (ME!) asap to coordinate how much time you have to prep your home for the market and what to complete, discuss your relocation plans especially when also purchasing, financing, and reviewing what to expect from the process.
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
First time home-buyers & sellers, growing families on their 2nd-3rd home, incoming / outgoing relocation, luxury home sellers & buyers (above $800K), military families, new construction, divorce situation, short sales, downsizing seniors, riverfront, condos.
4. How did you get started in Real Estate?
My Father and Grandmother are real estate brokers. I knew for a long time that this will be a fulfilling job to apply myself to. Watching and listening to my Dad talk and negotiate with clients and other agents, the social aspect of the profession, along with my honest passion for advising people ethically have all culminated into who I am today.
5. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
Prior to acquiring my license, I found it incredibly beneficial and advantageous to learn a trade. Therefore I have an Associate Degree in Plumbing and HVAC, and am a Journeyman after completing a 5yr apprenticeship in the Plumbers / Pipefitters Local Union 524. Obtaining these required many hours on residential and commercial/industrial new construction jobsites allowing me to have advanced insight about the workings of a home or building.

Eric was always available to answer any questions, give knowledgeable advice, and assisted with linking us with other services we needed to have our house ready for sale. Our sale went much quicker than I though possible without any hiccups. I will contract him again for any future sales or buys. Great service!

Erik did a great job helping us to sell our home. He was very professional and kept us well informed of the entire process. We do not think we could have had a better person help us through this experience. I would highly recommend Erik to anyone who is looking to either buy or sell a home.

Erik helped us buy and sell our first home and has been great. He is very knowledgeable and made both buying and selling very smooth and easy. His local knowledge of not just our city, but the surrounding cities was great to have.

He?s very knowledgeable, and very helpful. He never let my husband and I down. Everytime he said he?d meet us, he was there. He does a very good job in trying to find what his clients come to him looking for in a home or potential home. I would definitely recommend him as a realtor to anyone looking to purchase a home. I?d give him 10/10 stars if I could!! Erik?s the best!!!!
