Testimonials
“From the very begining of the home buying process, right through closing, Erica was amazing! She is incredibly responsive, and I don't think we could have asked for anyone more knowledgeable about the housing market and the area. She was by our side to answer our questions -- and to ask the questions that we never even thought of asking. Buying our first home in Maine felt so easy with Erica as our realtor. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone needing a realtor. Just go with Erica -- you will be happy you did!”
“My husband and I bought a home in Maine while living in Mississippi, and we couldn’t have asked for a better realtor than Erica. She was absolutely incredible—making the entire process feel easy and seamless, even from a distance. Her communication was prompt and clear every step of the way, and her deep knowledge of the market gave us so much confidence. Erica truly went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful for her support. I highly recommend her to anyone—whether you're local or buying from afar—looking for a dedicated and exceptional realtor.”
“I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Erica on numerous listings, and I can confidently say she is one of the most professional and dedicated agents I’ve worked with. As a photographer, I truly appreciate how well they understand the importance of showcasing a property in its best light, both literally and figuratively. Personally, Erica is always a pleasure to work with!”
“Erica found our dream home for us before it even hit the market. She was patient with us, always available and quick to respond when we had questions. She’s very knowledgeable about the broader Seacoast area. We would highly recommend Erica!”
“Erica was wonderful to work with while she ordered from my business for branded cake pops and chocolate covered house Oreos. I hope that we can work together again soon.”
“Erica went above and beyond to help us find our perfect Maine home. As out of state buyers, we really counted on her to narrow our list of properties before our visit to look at the best ones. Once we found “the one,” Erica helped us put together a competitive and ultimately successful offer. Inspections and a remote closing were a breeze with Erica’s attentiveness. We highly recommend her.”
“We cannot thank Erica enough for the truly extraordinary service she provided to us in selling our home. Having moved out of state, Erica went above and beyond to find us the resources needed to help get the property market-ready. Her knowledge of the market, clear and efficient communication, and sound recommendations really made us feel like she was a partner in our journey and committed to our success. We would not hesitate to recommend Erica!”
“Absolutely wonderful to work with. With the market being so competitive and so diverse in home styles and price ranges, Erica made the house searching process so easy. She always had our best interests in mind, pointed out features that we needed to keep in mind or had concerns about, and was always quick to respond with questions or available visits/ open houses that we had interest in. She was even able to sneak us in a few tours before the open house which helped us get ahead of offers and helped get our foot in the door. She went above and beyond to help us get the house we couldn't even dream we could get an accepted offer for. Thank you again!”
“Caring, attentive, comfortably professional and knowledgeable! Great to work with and I highly recommend.”

“We recently had the pleasure of working with Erica on our latest real estate adventure. I can honestly say; we did not find her, she found us. There was a knock at our door and it was Erica with a buyer; asking is your house still for sale and if so , could we see it.The rest is history. She sold the house for us. Helped navigate the purchase of our new home. All through the process Erica kept us informed and up to date on the process. She gets things done quickly. We will use her again and refer her as often as we can.Great job, Erica!Well done!Thank you so much!”

“Erica is not only an amazing, responsive, attentive, professional, she is an awesome person and someone you can trust that has your back and will fight for you when things may go awry. She is super flexible, and always went above and beyond. Erica had to deal with a bunch of craziness in helping us find a home and then when we selected an in-progress build she went toe to toe with the builder for us. She even helped us with design input and vendors. No matter what we or the builder threw at her she handled it like a champion. She’s the only realtor I would use! She’s the best!!”
“Erica was fantastic to work with! After doing a quick social media search for local realtors, Erica checked many of the boxes my wife and I were looking for. She is very clearly with the times and presents a commitment to getting the job done in whatever it may be.Her communication is top notch from the time we first reached out until even weeks after closing, making sure we were getting settled in okay! Shortly after reaching out for the first time she even provided a suggestion for a great mortgage lender and made a phone call to him to let him know that we would potentially be reaching out.Erica went through 4 private showings/open houses with us until we found the right home. She even scheduled her own private showing for a home that she was unable to attend the open house due to a prior commitment. It just shows that she wants what is best for her clients and leaves no stone unturned.When we were finally ready to put in an offer Erica guided us by providing her professional opinion while also making sure we were comfortable with our offer. From the inspection process to making the final signatures on closing day, Erica fought for what was in our best interest, often making multiple phone calls to selling agent.Although we used Erica to buy our home, her online and social media presence with her listings appears first class. Whether it be her voice over detailed walk throughs or her drone fly overs showing the home in its surrounding area, Erica definitely presents her client's homes in the best way possible.I would highly suggest Erica to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! We will definitely be using Erica in the future!”
“Working with Erica was a breeze! She responds efficiently to all questions, helped with every detail along the way, and made it a simple process to get us to closing. Thanks so much Erica! Look forward to working together again in the future.”

“I found Erica through a mutual connection while in the process of buying our first home. Initial communication lacked, but she really made up for it with her hard work and regular communication soon thereafter.As first home buyers, you need a really good team that can educate you while not overloading, and always being your side kick, and Erica did just that.She was very clear with her communication, set us up with an even better lender than the original one we started with, and really was a diligent worker through the process. We definitely recommend her if you are looking in the NH/Maine area.Thanks again Erica!”
“I’m so glad I was referred to Erica. As a first time home buyer, I was very overwhelmed and discouraged at the start of my search. I was working with a couple other realtors, but quickly decided to sign with Erica. She’s responsive, friendly, patient, and she actually cares. I bought my first home several months sooner than I thought I would, and I don’t believe that would’ve happened if I was working with a different realtor. I cannot recommend her enough, you won’t be disappointed.”

“I have worked with many real estate agents over the last 25 years (including my wife) and some of them have been very good agents. Erica is in a class by herself. She sets herself apart from the majority of other agents with her knowledge, professionalism, work ethic and genuine likeability. She has helped us on three different transactions in the last 2 years. She is always responsive, follows up and helps me to stay on task with the many various things related to buying and selling a home.

Thank you Erica!”

We would highly recommend Erica and her team.”
“I am a real estate agent in another region in Maine and had the pleasure of meeting Erica last week at one of her listings. Unfortunately our clients didn't get the house, there were many other offers, but Erica conducted herself with poise and professionalism, she communicated clearly, dealt with some demanding buyers agents (I'm sure!) and juggled at least a dozen offers. I've never actually written a review about another agent but felt compelled to do so with Erica. I am so impressed with the way she does business that I wanted to share it with any prospective clients of hers. I've been in this business for 12+ years and I can spot the real deal. You'll be in good hands with Erica.”
“Being relocation buyers, we knew that our time would need to be used efficiently, and effectively. Working along side with Erica was an easy decision. Her work ethic is second to none. Her ability to network amongst other realtors was incredibly help. We haven’t a bad thing to say. We wish her the most successful career and highly recommend.”
