Erica had provided my fiance & I with everything we needed to help get us into our first home. From beginning to end she was right there for us any time/ any day of the week, she was able to answer all of our questions (there were a lot!) & also provide us with great recommendations. We would highly recommend Erica for anyone looking to purchase or sell their home, we couldn't of asked for a smoother home purchase!

Alison

We have 17 units in the Highlands, Erica has done a great job of finding quality tenants. She consulted on rent price and understands waiting for 1 good tenant is far better for a landlord than taking the first one through the door. Thanks

Adam

I contacted erica about a rental property. When she learned that the property wasnt exactly what i needed, she offered to contact me if she did find the right place. It wasnt long before i heard from her again and she in fact had found just what i needed! She remained in contact with me through the entire rental process!! She even offered to be of greater service at a later time!! Erica is very friendly, very helpful and very efficient at her work. I would recommend her to anyone!
