Eric is the greatest realtor of all time! I would begin describing Eric as a friend of mine. A friend that has helped me negotiate 2 lease agreements in the last 14 months. The first agreement was signed during my active duty service as a paratrooper stationed in Europe. I had never been to Miami, but was about to begin my educational benefits at FIU as a Veteran. Eric found me a favorable location in Doral where I met mis Becinos. I now know them as mi familia de Venezuela. & don't let me forget to mention that this deal included 2 months free rent. 12 months later we signed a lease at a place that makes me feel even more at home in Miami than before. I really trust this guy! I am so thankful for what Eric has done for my family. He now has an American flag hanging from his house, & it was hung there by me as an act of gratitude for what he has done for my family.

I've absolutely recommended Eric. High knowledge of the market, great advisor, very diligent, fast and careful. He had plenty of options on the database, so that made the first part easy. Then, I was able to find the apartment in one day, he showed me around very nicely! He negotiated the second day and I was signing the third.

In the same street, you get offers from people. Eric was always looking that all was good, he checked the apartment, ask questions & negotiate things that were not ok in the initial offer. He even checked on me a couple of weeks after. I've felt all the time that I was in the premier league! read more
