Eric’s Testimonials
I met Eric in 2006 when I helped him publish a real estate magazine he used to advertise listings. We became friends after that and hit the lake pretty regularly. I referred friends and family to him and he always did a great job. So, when it was time for me to finally buy, it was an easy decision to ask him to help me out. I've always lived downtown, but wanted a place with a yard, so we looked in 78704 and East Austin. At the end of the day, I really liked how East Austin felt, and what I could buy over there. We looked for about 6 months and made offers on a couple of places I wasn't that excited about, but I finally found "the one" and we contracted it. The transaction wasn't very tricky - there weren't any "gotchas" that people always talk about. Eric was probably a big part of that, but I guess I wouldn't know. At the end of the day, I couldn't be happier with his performance. There's not much more you can ask for in an agent.

The Good:
:: he's a local who knows the neighborhoods. he's lived here for some time and knows what will best fit your needs and preferences!
:: he is super nice, friendly, patient, and knowledgeable
:: he will be honest with you about listings. we came to eric with some listings we found independently that we wanted to look at or that we found from our automated MLS listings he set up for us, and he would indulge us but most importantly, he told us his opinions about the house and our preferences and how they might not be a match
:: he isn't out about just selling you a house. he wants to make sure you get into a house you really like that is in your budget. that's terrific! lots of other realtors are focused on the commission only. eric is focused on making everyone happy on their big purchase.
:: he's very informative and knowledgeable. we came out of looking at houses with him with a lot more knowledge and insight than when we started the whole process. we learned about a plethora of things and also picked up some inside tips along the way!
:: he answered all of our correspondence in a timely fashion
:: he kept us in the loop throughout the process of closing on our house
The Bad:
:: none
The Ugly:
:: none
Would I use Eric again? Absolutely. Hopefully I'm not moving anytime soon, but if I have to, I know who I'll be calling to help me get on my way to a new house.
This guy is IN.

Eric recently helped my husband and I find our new house in Austin. It was a daunting task since we were not familiar with the neighborhoods or the market, and therefore plunking down a significant chunk of our savings made us very uneasy. Luckily Eric was very knowledgeable and completely understanding of all our needs and concerns. We loved his easygoing style but also had complete confidence and trust in his ability to negotiate and get the deal done. Eric was very professional throughout the entire process-he explained every step of the way, educated us on the different parts of town, and answered questions/addressed concerns in a prompt and comprehensive manner. Eric also got to know what we liked. He encouraged us to see as many houses as we wanted in order to ensure we felt confident about our purchase. After many months when we finally viewed the house we ended up buying, we knew it was the one for us. Cliché perhaps, but accurate. In a nutshell, Eric will give you his opinions (and sound advice) but allow you make the decision for yourself. Along the way he will be your strongest advocate and work hard to get the deal done. Eric was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him.

We have had wonderful experiences working with Eric, both as the buyers and the sellers. After helping us sell our last property (at a very fair price) in Hyde Park, we signed a lease to rent while we decided on the neighborhood we ultimately wanted to end up in. Eric was so patient with us, and we never felt any pressure to hurry up and decide. I felt like we were constantly changing our minds, and had him showing us (and our small child) houses all over Austin! We finally decided to buy an old house in Tarry Town and tear it down to build new. We knew we had to be quick when anything came up. Eric was so brilliant with the terms of the contract he suggested we put together. We ended up beating over 10 other offers (some of them were all cash, but we were not) and we got the house! He was always available to answer any questions, and ease our concerns when we had any doubt. I especially appreciate his quick responses to call/emails and his professionalism when dealing with the other agents. He is great!

My wife and I relocated to Austin from the east coast and didn't know a realtor in town, so looked online. We called a few different people and really seemed to click with Eric. He knows Austin very well, which is what we really cared about, since we knew little about the various Austin neighborhoods. Our search took us from Tarrytown, to Barton Hills, to Highland Park, to NW Hills, and we finally settled on Westlake. Well, we didn't really settle on Westlake before deciding on the house, but we found the house that fit us the best in Westlake.
We didn't move to Austin before buying, so it should have been a stressful process, but it wasn't. Eric was a big part of this. He always returned calls and emails promptly, and he never seemed put out when we had any long distance requests (going by the house to see if a certain size couch would fit comes to mind). He was great helping us negotiate the purchase price, attended the inspection for us, helped us with repairs, and met with us all morning for the walk through and closing.
I will definitely use Eric again for any real estate services in Austin. I highly recommend him to any buyer or seller.
