We met Eric through a friend who was in the market at the same time as we were. He came highly recommended and before we had a chance to contact him, we happened to visit a showing where he was the listing agent! We connected from there, and started more seriously looking a few months later. We were moving from north Berkeley but had not yet decided where we wanted to live and had somewhat complicated and conflicting needs/wants. Eric was more than patient, supportive and really took time to learn about us and navigate the process - honestly he is amazing. Even in moments where I personally felt stuck, discouraged and like this process would drag out forever, he was honest yet optimistic and held our hands every step of the way. We intentionally wanted to work someone who knew the Bay Area and the complex dynamics- and we specially did not want to go with the typical Bay Area realtor. He understood our need to live in a more diverse neighborhood, and supported us when we felt discouraged by the extremely difficult and exclusive market in some neighborhoods. Ultimately we ended up having OUR SECOND OFFER accepted. We paid below asking, with additional credits towards closing. The process was literally perfect. Eric was amazing and worked with the other realtor really well. We now live in Longfellow in an amazing home to hope to make our own slowly- we feel like we did not overpay especially in this market and of all, we love the area proximity to Temescal, Bart, south Berkeley and piedmont. He is phenomenal, and I've already recommended him to friends who are also looking. Thank you Eric!
