Eric’s Testimonials

Eric worked with my us for over a year before we found our home. I guess we were a little on the picky side, not sure how many houses Eric showed us over the course of the year but it was quite a few! Eric had us set up to get notices every morning based on our neighborhood preferences, price ranges, etc., and whenever we saw something pop up that we liked we called or emailed him and he would get it set up right away. Overall we found him extremely accessible, friendly, professional, and patient.

On a random Friday night in Feb, 2012 at about 11 PM we were going through our email for the day and we found it. The house had just been listed and given the state of the Central Austin market we knew it would not last long. We emailed Eric and crossed our fingers that we could get in that Saturday. The next morning Eric had the appointment set up. Although we loved the house we had several questions. Eric did an excellent job working with the other agent, getting our questions answered so we could put an offer in that day, and helping us structure our offer so we could make it as attractive as possible. Long story short the offer went in that day, and the sellers accepted the following day. Eric also helped us negotiate a quick closing and was very helpful between offer and closing with getting us access to the house for measurements, appointments, inspections, etc. We closed in March, 2012!

My wife and I have been working with Eric for over a year (yes, a year)...he's THAT patient. Our previous realtor was more like a pushy car salesman, which adds an additional layer of stress to such an important decision. Eric has patiently shown us multiple houses and understands what we're looking for. We still have yet to buy one, but I guarantee you when we do, it'll be with Eric. Would highly recommend him to anyone, especially first-time buyers.

Eric helped me purchase a house in Allandale in 2006 and sell the same property in 2009, which was a tough market. He advised me on which improvements to make to the property prior to selling, and referred his contractors to me to help make the improvements, who were all great to work. He did a great job helping me buy the property, a great job helping me sell the property, and I would recommend him to anyone interested in buying or selling in Austin.

I moved to Austin from Salt Lake City in late 2011 for a new job. I knew I wanted to purchase, but didn't want to buy until I felt comfortable with the city. Being close to restaurants, concerts, etc was important to me, and central Austin is a lot to wrap your head around, if you're not familiar with it. Eric did a great job explaining the different neighborhoods, and showing me properties in pretty much every central neighborhood that fit my price range. He was patient, available, and professional. I settled on East Austin and found a place I wanted in June. At this point, there were a lot of properties with multiple offers going under contract in the first couple of days. The house I wanted was only 1 day on the market, and there were other agents showing it when we viewed it first. Eric helped me put together an offer that the seller accepted without offering over asking price, and without waiting to see if other offers would come in. We offered them extremely attractive terms (they were pregnant and we gave them a seller lease back to help with the move) and they accepted immediately, and even threw in the fridge! When we had the property inspected, there were minor issues to be expected, and we were able to negotiate a credit for a couple of items that I wanted fixed. At the end of the day, I couldn't be happier with my house, and with Eric's performance. I will happily recommend him to anyone I know searching for a home.
