A career built street by street.
Over two decades of expertise, spent almost entirely inside a handful of western-suburb towns and the city beside them. Long enough to know which blocks trade quickly, which ones ask for patience, and why.
Two decades of
the actual work.
Erik has spent those years on the mechanics of buying and selling — reading comparables, preparing homes, arguing terms — through soft markets and frantic ones. The judgement that comes out of that is the thing clients are actually hiring.
Strategic, and
built around you.
Selling a home is a financial decision and a personal one at the same time. The approach is strategic and built around the client, and it stays personal from the first conversation to the closing table.
Pricing comes from what comparable homes nearby actually did, not from a market-wide average. You see the evidence before you see a number, and offers are argued from documentation — comparables, condition, timing. Terms are negotiated as hard as the price, because they are just as often what decides the outcome.
One broker,
start to finish.
The person who reads the comparables negotiates the contract and answers the phone the week before closing. Nothing is handed down a chain, and there is no one to be escalated to, because the decision stops here.

Long enough to have worked a market that was climbing, a market that had stalled, and the one in front of you now. That range is what the advice is drawn from.
The person advising you also owns the firm. No desk quota and no regional policy to work around, because the decision stops here.
