Eric’s Testimonials

Eric defines what a Realtor should be. So much so that I've used him twice.

I first happened upon him by chance when looking to move from Orlando, FL to Austin, TX in January, 2006. He was the listing agent for a place that I was interested in renting. After chatting with him for a bit over the phone about what I was looking for, he offered to drive me around to check out a few other places as well when I arrived in Austin. I arrived and he did so, making time for me after my new job (sometimes into the evening) without hesitation. He was able to tailor our search down to my needs so we didn't waste any time in touring. Even after the first couple contracts fell through because people beat us to it, he continued to help.

When it came time to buy a home, we called Eric up again. He spent the better part of 3 months driving my then pregnant wife around to look at our personalized list of homes, including new developments that had plans that met our needs.

Eric's service is nothing short of perfect. He focuses on and values each client's happiness with their home buying decisions. Whether you're looking for an $800/month rental, $200,000 homes, or $1,000,000 mansions, Eric will go out of his way to make sure you find the house that will become your home.

When our friends heard that we were planning to buy a house, they warned us that it was a long, arduous process. With Eric, the process was the exact opposite. With his help we were able to find a great house in much less time than we expected. Eric gave us solid advice throughout the process and helped us get a good deal. Everything went very smoothly and we're excited to move in to our new home!

It was our first time buying a house, and we had lots of questions. Eric was very patient, informative, and friendly. He was never hard to get a hold of, and responded very quickly to our messages. He has a lot of experience with the Austin housing market and suggested several neighborhoods that we hadn't been considering. He gave us good advice about renovation possibilities and talked us through which houses we could improve the resale value of.

We recently move to Austin from another state and came here knowing practically nothing about the area. Eric was very knowledgable in the different suburbs available and the pros and cons of each. He helped us select a neighborhood very suitable for the needs of our family. He was professional, courteous, punctual and always made himself available for phone calls and meetings. During the sale he was extremely helpful in offering advice and dealing with the negotiations that occur between buyer and seller.

My husband and I were moving back to Austin from Seattle and contacted Eric after reading his numerous Yelp reviews and experiencing slow communications with the realtor we originally intended to use. We made the right decision to work with Eric! He listened intently to our requirements over the phone and quickly had a list of houses that actually met our criteria. We worked with him to plan a last-minute 4 day trip to Austin, where he and Bailey spent 4 days taking us through over 35 houses before we had to fly back to Seattle. He and Bailey were both super-responsive to all our emails/texts/phone calls before, during, and after our 4 day trip. Both Eric and Bailey were relaxed, helpful, and candid throughout the process. Eric is super-knowledgable about the neighborhoods we were considering, which really helped us better understand what to expect with each home we saw.

Eric allowed us to walk through each home at our own pace, hanging back to answer questions if we had them, but letting us experience the home for ourselves. He was upfront about potential issues in any home we looked at, rather than blindly encouraging us to just purchase a home already. By the time we flew home from our trip, Eric had prepared our offer and sent everything we needed over to us to sign. He helped us through the process and recommended an excellent lender who was able to offer us great rates and patiently listen to all of our first-time home buyer questions. When we panicked over not understanding something in the contract at the last minute when we were supposed to be signing all the papers, Eric quickly responded to our text (after hours in Austin) and called us to explain what we were confused about.

Buying a home from another state is difficult, and Eric was a great realtor throughout the process. He and his team even arranged for flooring companies to access the house so we could arrange to have floors installed before our move from Seattle. Once we moved into the house, I had trouble operating the jacuzzi in the Master bath, and Eric was quick to respond. He not only re-sent the inspection report, but called me and patiently walked me through trouble-shooting the tub until I got it to work.

We are very happy with our experience working with Eric and Bailey and would highly recommend them without reservation to anyone looking to purchase a home in Austin.
