Testimonials

Erik was great from start to finish! Erik helped me buy my first condo and was very patient with all of my questions and explained the process in detail. When it was time to make an offer he completed the paperwork the same night that we viewed the home; quick, accurate and efficient. Erik referred me to several services (real estate attorney, inspector, etc.) when I didn't have theses services arranged and was able to work with my preferred services as well. Erik kept in constant communication with me throughout the whole process. I would certainly recommend Erik for all of your home buying needs and will use him again in the future.

We used Erik to sell and buy condos in Lincoln Park a few years back. Our experience was so pleasant that we recently used him again to sell our (outgrown) condo and to find our dream home on the North Shore. Erik truly understands market trends and current inventory which helped us price our condo competitively and get it sold within a week. His strong negotiating skills and market knowledge helped us sell our place at a price above our expectations. When searching for our new home, Erik listened carefully to our 'must haves' and made some excellent recommendations in an effort to help us focus our search area. He was completely engaged in our house hunt and extremely responsive to our calls, emails, and texts. Erik is very accommodating and worked around our (and our infant's) schedules when making appointments. It was easy to trust him with issues and have him help make decisions on our behalf. We appreciated his initiative and willingness to help, especially since the buying/selling process can be time consuming and complicated. Quite simply, Erik made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. On top of the superior client service Erik provides himself, he also surrounds himself with a wealth of industry resources. He referred us to an excellent mortgage broker, lawyer, and home inspector which made our home buying and selling process so easy. We will continue to recommend Erik to all our family and friends looking for a top notch realtor in the Chicago area.

I have been so impressed with Erik as a Managing Broker. I was honest with him from the beginning about where I am in my real estate journey and how much time I could commit at the beginning, he was nothing but supportive. Having twins and trying to start a new side hustle is not an easy task. However, Erik has been so helpful in going at a pace I have been comfortable with. I have been able to attend many trainings and want to gain as much experience and knowledge before I fully launch my journey. I interviewed with several managing brokers, and by far, Erik was the one I wanted to learn from and work with.

Erik is amazing at what he does—there’s really no other way to put it. While some agents are in real estate for the commission, Erik simply isn’t cut from that cloth. Erik truly loves what he does, and the proof is in the energy he puts into his work and the incredible relationships he builds with his clients. My husband and I met him almost two years ago, at which point we were very casually talking about moving with no immediate plans. I was worried that he might not take us seriously, but it was the opposite: he completely understood and empathized with our situation, and expressed that he’d be there to help us take the next step whenever we were ready—whether that be in two weeks or five years. When we were finally ready to pull the trigger, Erik jumped right in to walk us through the steps that were required to get our place staged, photographed, priced, listed, and sold. He knew the market well, ran the numbers like a boss, and put an incredible amount of research into the sale. With two little kids underfoot it could have been a very daunting process, but I can honestly say that it was smooth and stress-free with Erik running the show. Ultimately, he sold our place in 10 days for a great price. If that’s not a real estate dream, I don’t know what is. Not only is Erik supremely professional, but he’s also one of the kindest and most personable people we have ever met. He made us feel completely at ease from day one, and we quickly became good friends. He made sure our questions were answered (even the ones we didn’t know to ask!), our expectations were managed, and our needs as a family were met. We purchased our next home by owner for reasons that were outside of our control, and despite the fact that Erik didn’t have any skin in the game, he guided us through the process and became an incredible source of support for which we are truly grateful. Bottom line: If you are looking for an agent who will put your needs above all else and work tirelessly to ensure your satisfaction as you move into the next phase of your life, Erik is your man.

Erik helped us search for and purchase our first house. We didn't know a lot about buying a new house or condo and Erik ushered us through the entire process. He shared tips on things to look for, gave us good background on the places that we were looking at, and got to know what we were looking for so he could make recommendations when a new place came onto the market. His knowledge is extensive and I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their house or condo!

When choosing Baird & Warner as my sponsoring broker, I liked the fact that they are still family owned and have a large focus on the success and wellbeing of their employees. Erik is a great ambassador of this. He's professional and personable, well versed in our market and informed on the trends and latest news of the real estate market itself. As a new agent, his help has contributed to my confidence and knowledge in the business. I feel comfortable coming to him for advice and am never hesitant to ask him a question or for help.

We cannot say enough how much we enjoyed working with Erik. First and foremost, we always trusted Erik, and knew that he had our best interest in my mind. Additionally, we were always confident that he would be a good representation of us. We always trusted him to handle himself with the utmost professionalism, as well as genuine kindness and fairness. This held true with listing agents throughout our search, and eventually during the negotiation process. Erik was reliable, responsive, engaged, and honest. We could always rely on him to give us his honest opinion and act as a true guide throughout the process of buying our first home. We delighted in the fact that we consistently commented we were “on the same page”. In the event of any hiccups during the process, Erik displayed his commitment to us by acting very quickly, calmly and successfully. We always felt like his priorities – during these times when “action mode” was necessary, as well as slower times when we would regularly hear from him to check in or follow up. Erik’s deep knowledge of the Chicago residential real estate market is very apparent, and his demeanor elevates him to be a true expert in our minds. We would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in Chicago!

I could not recommend Erik enough! Being relatively new to Chicago he offered great insight and really took the time to understand what our family needed. He is very knowledgable about all areas in and around Chicago. Erik helped us every step of the way and made what can sometimes be confusing and overwhelming easy, understandable and comfortable. We will use Erik when we sell area ready to sell this home and move on to something else!

I'm so glad to have worked with Erik! First time home buyers, we were led step-by-step through the process and--success!--with Erik's help we now own an amazing home. Erik always gave us his complete time, attention and ongoing patience. He was extremely easy to communicate with by email and phone, with a quick response time. He immediately put us at ease, knew what to look out for when walking through prospect homes, and answered all our questions with care. While I don't expect we will be looking to buy a new home anytime soon, I would happily work with Erik again.
