ZillowVERIFIEDWe had the pleasure of working with Erika as our realtor, and we couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, she demonstrated exceptional professionalism, market knowledge, and genuine care for our needs. Erika was incredibly responsive to our questions and concerns, always taking the time to explain the process and keep us informed at every step. Her expertise in the local market was evident, and she provided valuable insights that helped us make confident decisions. She was patient, thorough, and never pressured usaEUR"instead, she focused on finding the right fit for our situation. What impressed us most was her dedication to getting the best outcome. She went above and beyond to negotiate favorable terms and kept the transaction moving smoothly from offer to closing. We highly recommend Erika to anyone looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in their clients' success. She's a true professional!

ZillowVERIFIED TRUST her! Erika has helped us buy & sell 3 homes now. Each sold home within a week! She is a pricing expert; she knows how to get you what you need and want, so trust her and her process! She is the most informed realtor. Her comprehensive knowledge of any and every question you have about buying a home, selling a home, building a home, even just maintaining a home you live in is unmatched and so incredibly helpful. On top of her knowledge & years of experience, she is extremely hardworking. She responds quickly and kindly. We can not recommend her enough.

ZillowVERIFIED I just recently had to sell my dad's home as he had to move to a retirement community. Erika was extremely knowledgeable, attentive and a huge asset to my dad and I. She had many resources/contacts that were able to help with the cleaning out of the home and getting everything lined up for the sale. Erika really helped with alleviating the stress of having to sell a home; she was caring and kind, professional and down to earth which made it a pleasure to work with her.

ZillowVERIFIED Erika was fantastic, very knowledgeable and helped me purchase a house that had the features I was looking for in a somewhat challenging real estate market. She is very familiar with the area and typical houses, and her expertise was invaluable throughout the entire process. Definitely recommend, would use again.

ZillowVERIFIED Erika and her staff were great to work with, especially with the difficulty of my HOA. This was the first time I was on the selling side of home ownership. Erika and her staff were there whenever I had questions or concerns, whether on weekends or evening hours. They were truly professional and full of knowledge. I would highly recommend them if you're looking to buy or sell your home!

Review for Member: Erika Rutt-Akens
ZillowVERIFIED My experience with Erika was absolutely horrendous. She was very rude and unhelpful, right from the start. Her first statement to me was ?you cannot buy a house here?. She also gave the sage advice that ?upgrades just aren?t worth it?. She refused to offer us a tour of the community, citing high gas prices and a disbelief that I would qualify for a mortgage. In the end, in communications I was conspicuously left off of, she misrepresented our agreement to titling, adding thousands and thousands of dollars to closing costs. I could not be more disappointed, and I am shocked in her lack of professional ethics. Stay away.

ZillowVERIFIED Erika Rutt-Akens was the realtor for me. I needed a realtor to be able to handle my every question on top of my very detailed personality. I am a perfectionist which I am sure makes dealing with me not always easy. But Erika did it. She understood me as she is the same very detailed. She always answered my questions and made me feel at peace during this very emotional process.

ZillowVERIFIED Erika was phenomenal. We found her online (Google Review) due to being out of state. We didn't know anyone in the real estate business, and she had great reviews. She gave us advice on getting a rental for a year (it helped) and was there every step of the way to our new home purchase during that following year. She called us well before we were ready to purchase and helped connect us with a lender. There were unforeseen challenges to getting our preapproval due to a new job. Her being so on the ball really kept the stress low on the whole process. Our second offer on a home was accepted in a very challenging buyer's market. (Closed May 2022) Not only that, but we also HAD to be in a particular school district (for our kiddos best interest and specific needs), one that was very small and really limited our search area. I cannot recommend her enough. She is very detailed, professional yet down to earth (will tell you what you need to hear) and proactive. She knows all the tricks of the trade and will get the job done.

ZillowVERIFIED Erika is awesome! She knew EXACTLY what I was looking for and guided me right to the perfect house. She is very responsive and professional and understanding. She and her whole team (shout out to Maura too!) were very helpful, patient, and understanding when my situation hit little snag with payment and I needed some extra accommodation. Highest recommendation!

ZillowVERIFIED Erika is the best realtor Ive ever worked with and Ive worked with a few. She made the whole process a breeze and always had my back. I came to her looking for a house, which turned into me refinancing mine and when it was time I decided to sell, I knew I had to have her as my agent. You will not be disappointed. She is top notch!

Review for Member: Erika Rutt-Akens
ZillowVERIFIED For two years I was trying to decide about selling my home. Erika periodically checked in with me (without any pressure) every couple months. She always answered my questions and supported me until I made the final decision to sell. She was very understanding about my personal needs, as I have MS and was very patient and I searched for an apartment. As it turned out, she got me the best price and now that I have moved into an apartment, my life is so much better. I highly recommend her. She is a caring, considerate person who will work with you to meet your needs.She also has an assistant, Maura, who works with the clients and was always there for me when I had a question.

ZillowVERIFIED I relocated from overseas to the local area on a very tight timeline. After contacting Erika with my preferences for my new home I immediately received listings that fit the bill. I indicated those of interest and had a viewing within one or two days. I promptly received updates on new listings daily and found my perfect home within 2 weeksShe was very helpful in connecting me with local lenders and the entire process from start to finish was completed within a month.What really impressed me was Erikas follow up after closing to ensure everything was satisfactory and that I had no issues after the sale.I am extremely satisfied with the entire experience and recommend Erika as an excellent choice for anyone requiring realtor services.

ZillowVERIFIED Erika is top notch! She cold called me on a property I was using as a rental. After a few calls of Erika walking me through the process I decided that it was in fact time to sell.

ZillowVERIFIED She is a dedicated realtor that goes out of her way to help you. Erika keeps everyone informed at all times. She linked my mom & me to contractors to help us spruce up the house before it went on the market. The contractors also helped us move.

ZillowVERIFIED Erika and her assistant Topaz were very responsive, professional and very courteous throughout the selling process. And because we live out of state we never had to travel and set a foot on our property from advertising to closing the sale. It was all done virtually. The sale of the hose closed within three (3) month from start to finish. Impressive. Thank you Erika and Topaz!

ZillowVERIFIED Erika and her staff were very knowledgeable and helpful during this process. This was by far the easiest move we've made. Erika followed all of the COVID protocols when discussing our options. Once our decision was made, the house was placed on the market and sold within a weekend at the price that was acceptable to all parties. Settlement was easy and all transactions were handled remotely. Very professional.

Review for Member: Erika Rutt-Akens
ZillowVERIFIED After placing my parents home on the market with another realtor and having very little activity for several weeks, Erika showed up and asked if we were having any luck with perspective buyers. After talking to Erika and sharing our slow progress with our house, Erika offered to take us on as a client. She explained strategies she would use to have our house begin to show better, and guaranteed that she could sell our house more quickly. We accepted her offer and Erika was able to sell my parents house in three months. We were very pleased with Erika's professionalism in this process. Even after several years of our sale, Erika continues to stay in touch with us: offering her help with our family and friends. She is an excellent realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED Erika was a Intercal part of selling my house. I live in an other state and was not able to be there for any of the sale of my property in Harrisburg Pa. Erika and her team were able to get my townhome prepped for sale and on the market in a timely manner. She helped me jump through the hoops of an out of state sale and get it sold really fast so I could buy another property were I currently reside.

ZillowVERIFIED If you're looking for a tenacious, knowledgeable real estate agent Erika is your person. She contacted me; educated me to the process and walked me through each step. She listed my home at the right asking price and within a day of being on the market my first bid was the full asking price. If you want to sell it's KEY to have an agent who has experience and who knows the market. Erika is that agent.

ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I had a great experience with Erika, who sold our old home in just weeks. From our earliest conversations with her through the closing, Erika was friendly, professional, prompt, and honest with us. She gave us great advice about how best to price and show our property; understood our neighborhood and its appeals; and consistently followed up with us about every detail. We had a great experience with her!

ZillowVERIFIED Erika helped me with purchasing my first home. She walked me through each step and she was always available when I needed help . As a first time home buyer I was not 100% sure of what I wanted and was very nervous about the entire process. Erika was able to show me different styles of homes and explained all that needed to be done and when. She took the time to get to know me and my personality which helped me choose the best house for me. She is the best! It was a pleasure working with her.

ZillowVERIFIED Erika ,made what we thought would be impossible sales of two properties for us. The sale of a relatives home property and the sale of a rental property. When she said they would pop when put on the market she was right, Cannot thank her enough. She was very easy to work with and very aggressive to get the job done. Was a win-win. If you think you have an impossible sale please get in touch with her. Thank you Erika!

ZillowVERIFIED Erika was great! She took charge immediately to show us the best was to stage our home. Erika was not only efficient but knowledgeable in the sale and purchase of a home. She got our home sold within 35 days and she was available anytime we had questions. She took charge during the showing of our home through the final closing of our home. If you need a realtor that will get the job done and is proficient in her craft I would advise hire Erika as your realtor because she will get the house sold for you. She is the kindest person that I've met and she will get the job done so you will have no worries.

ZillowVERIFIED Erika was so helpful taking us through the process of selling our mother's home! She guided us, provided advice, helped with repairs and made us feel so comfortable and confident. But the best thing is she got us a full price offer after two days on the market! We just meshed with her from our first meeting, she was so friendly and had experience with selling in the neighborhood. Would not hesitate to recommend her!

ZillowVERIFIED Erika is knowledgeable of the local market. She advised us according to our timeline to prepare the house for listing. I preferred her professional assertiveness over other real estate agents we interviewed and considered hiring. We wanted the aggressive marketing of our property and felt like the location, school district and condition of home would move quickly. We considered the idea that we need a well experienced realtor to navigate a fast-moving, potential of multi bid situation.Erika delivered in these areas of concern. While we didn't have multiple offers, we did agree on a high end price and basically received full offer and the home sold quickly with some terms.

ZillowVERIFIED Erika handled my out of town rental sale. Her and her staff we on top of every question and all paperwork throughout the process. Erika was always available for a call or email with very fair response times during a busy working day. We had a lot of work to do inside the property and Erika and team helped pick out vendors and styles that got our property sold in the first week on the market - despite competition - at a price I was happy with. I elected to be fairly involved with the process, but even in my absence I was positive things were always moving forward. Thanks go out again to Erika and her team for a job well done!

She stayed in contact to keep me well informed of everything through the whole process as well as updating information on the internet and other agents who had clients looking to buy a home like mine. She's friendly with a great sense of humor.

ZillowVERIFIED We truly enjoyed working with Erika. She was very honest with us, to the point and she was very knowledgeable in the housing market. We listed our house on a Tuesday and had 13 showings in three days and 2 offers on the table by Friday morning. Inspections were scheduled and closing happened in about 45 days. The process was great.

Review for Member: Erika Rutt-Akens
ZillowVERIFIED Erika was referred to me in late 2017 by another satisfied seller, whose property was located just a block away from the one that I needed to sell. That customer's confidence was well placed, as Erika is simply a dynamo. She listened carefully to my questions and concerns before we crafted our plan and set the asking price. She gave me excellent guidance as to what should be updated and fixed before listing. She offers a concierge service and was able to recommend a qualified contractor for painting, repairs, and clean-out services. Photos were taken on a Thursday, the house was listed next day, and we had a cash offer (full price), the day after that. Closing was well organized and came off without a hitch. I ABSOLUTELY recommend Erika---without reservation!
