Eric sold me my townhouse about a decade ago and then helped me sell it this year. He was invaluable throughout the process of selling the place. From getting repairs done when contractors wouldn't follow up on my calls, to really understanding the local market and being able to assess what buyers were looking for, Eric was incredibly helpful each step of the way. He definitely went above and beyond what I would normally expect, and at no point did I feel he was pressuring me to take an action I wasn't comfortable. I would definitely work with Eric again if I ever am looking again in the Seattle area. read more

I've been working with Eric for almost 15 years now and he's amazing! He helped me buy my first property in the Seattle area over 9 years ago which I was slightly hesitant about at first but ended up being an amazing investment. Now he's helped me close on another investment property a few months ago. Now the thing you need to know is for both of these properties we were looking for almost 3 years each. He stuck with us and was insanely patient until we found the best properties for our goals. Even with such long search periods, he never pressured me into purchasing a property and instead laid out the fundamentals as to why something would be a good or bad investment. He's a lot of fun to tour homes with, has a great understanding of the local market, knows a ton of people in industry, and most importantly has fantastic contacts for when you're inspecting, and ensuring you're making a good investment in your future. read more

My experience with Eric over two home transactions was impeccable. I've worked with him as both a buyer and a seller. Most recently, with the current market fluctuations, I wanted to feel confident that my listing agent would help sell my home at the optimal market value. Eric did a lot of due diligence on comps and a deep market analysis, and I am very pleased with my sale following his recommendations. He is extremely communicative, clear, and helpful to ensure a stress-free home selling process. I highly recommend Eric! read more

Eric is truly an expert in his field. He knows all the rules (and how less-scrupulous agents sometimes try to bend them), and he has in-depth understanding of how the market works in the Seattle area. He is also a good listener, and takes the time to understand the needs of his clients. He helped my husband and I buy our first home in Seattle, and 15 years later he helped us successfully sell it again, at above our asking price, despite the very challenging market conditions in 2022-2023. We would work with Eric again in a heartbeat! read more

If you want a great real estate agent Eric is the person for you. He helped my girlfriend and me find our first home in Seattle. Eric was always willing to go see houses same day if we were interested and was ready to write a contract at a moments notice coordinating directly with our mortgage broker simplifying the entire process and allowing us to jump on a great property before other offers were able to be put in. Since we were first time home buyers we did not have much knowledge on the process of home buying. Eric walked us through all of the processes and sat down to explain every document we were signing or receiving to make sure we understand everything. I would highly recommend Eric. His knowledge and experience makes home buying a breeze and gives piece of mind knowing you're in good hands. read more

If you want to have an okay house hunting experience, go with someone else. If you want the BEST house hunting experience, you must go with Eric Robison. We partnered with Eric in 2015 to buy our first home ever in Ballard and the experience was fantastic - he was kind, patient, trustworthy, a great listener, very responsive, flexible and understood our needs. When it came time to buy our next home in 2020, turning again to him again was a no-brainer. Eric is someone who wholly advocates for his clients, and his knowledge of the market is unparalleled. Furthermore, no one expects to be house hunting during a pandemic, an already stressful time. And yet, it felt as stress-free as one could hope, and we credit him for that ease. Eric made looking at homes extremely safe (never without hand sanitizer and a mask!), straight-forward and fun - what more could you ask for in one of the biggest financial and meaningful decisions you'll ever make? This man is in YOUR corner, always. We would recommend Eric to anyone who wants to have a trustworthy and positive experience purchasing their next home. read more

My husband and I recently sold our home in California and moved to the Seattle area to be close to our daughter, son-in-law and brand new baby grandson. Eric was a fabulous agent that did all we could ask him for and more. He connected us with a wonderful agent in California to sell our home there and helped us manage the purchase process in Seattle when we couldn't be here. He did everything from coordinating with the seller and the seller's agent on price, inspection items and rent back terms, to managing the inspection for us as well. We highly recommend Eric for his professionalism, attention to detail and keeping his clients best interests in mind at all times. read more

I recently sold my home with Eric Robison. This was a difficult sale for me - I lived in this home with my wife who passed away last year. Eric was very understanding, helped keep me on track when I was struggling, and helped me sell the home the way I wanted to. It was important to me to fix up the home to be as nice as when we moved in. I wanted the new family that lives there to enjoy it as much as we did. Eric had great recommendations for contractors, gave great style advice, and went above and beyond to help out when I wasn't able to meet a contractor at the house. When it came time for staging, his team did an amazing job. I didn't want to play any bidding games in this crazy sellers market. Eric researched all of the comps in the area and helped me understand what the house was likely to get. When it came time to set the price he set it at a perfect level getting exactly what we were looking for with no games. Historically I've handled real estate transactions myself, but I'm extremely happy that I worked with Eric and I'm likely going to work with him again if I buy or sell real estate in the Seattle area. read more

We were leaving the country and had a short window in which to sell our property. From the moment we met I knew Travis would be perfect to sell our townhouse on Capitol Hill in Seattle. He proved to us that he would SELL our home, and not just list it. He was extremely knowledgeable of the area, demographics, and real estate climate. We had gone through another agent who had no idea how to sell a townhouse and when Travis arrived, he allayed our fears and went above and beyond to sell our property. Even though I know he had other clients, he made us feel like his top priority! His staging of the property was in excellent taste and he even landscaped (and watered!) our yard. He worked nonstop for three weeks during Pride Weekend, Cap Hill Party, Seafair to get the job done. Travis waited patiently for hours so he could get just the right arial photo of our place from the property next door. He listened to every suggestion we had, and we felt like we were all on the same team. He kept us up-to-he minute on status, worked until 11:00 pm, and always answered our messages. He sold our property in three weeks, during an off season, and worked closely with escrow company to close early. I have bought and sold many properties all over the US, and without a doubt, Travis was the best agent by far. read more

I chose Eric to sell my home because he had such a good return on the home across the street from mine, and he did not disappoint. The whole process was extremely easy and quick. My place was on the market for only a few days and I got well above asking price. Eric knew exactly what he was doing in terms of creating an enticing list price, staging the home in the best possible light, and knowing how to maneuver through the selling process. A much better experience than the first home I sold. Highly recommend Eric for anyone looking for someone who knows how to take care of everything. read more

As first time home buyers, my wife and I were pretty much clueless about the ins and outs of real estate procedures, house-hunting, negotiating loans, and making offers. That's why we were so lucky to have found (through a work recommendation) an agent as patient, experienced and throughly knowledgeable as Eric Robison to help us out. It was such a pleasure working with Eric. Not only did he take the time to answer all our questions, explain the details, and point out plus-sides and pitfalls to every possibility, when we found the perfect house he went beyond the call of duty to write a fun, personal letter of introduction to the seller and win us the deal (despite competing offers!). When, in the course of our search, we saw how slapdash and inattentive other realtors can be about their work and with their clients, it only made us feel luckier to have Eric's professionalism on our side. He is friendly, trustworthy, and extremely experienced. I cannot image a more positive experience with a realtor. read more

Eric Robison & Travis Smith were recommended to us by a co-worker. Even during our first time meeting, we appreciated how thorough and helpful their initial questions to us were, as they took the time to learn about our preferences for all aspects of the home search: From house features and locations to our communication preferences and styles. Eric helped us navigate peculiar and unfamiliar circumstances with confidence and ease. Travis was flexible in his available times to show us homes and knowledgable as we discussed what we were seeing with him. We'd happily tell our friends to give Eric & Travis a call. read more

Eric sold our home in one weekend for over asking price! It was all possible because of Eric's absolute attention to detail and professional approach! He prepped and staged our home all while we were on the other side of the country. It looked so good we wanted to move back in ourselves! Then when it came time to offers (yes, multiple), Eric's negotiations and pragmatic approach kept us focused on the business of selling for over our asking price. I can't recommend Eric enough, he's amazing!! read more

Eric and Travis from Union Group Realty helped my partner and I sell our home in north Ballard and buy a condo on Queen Anne Hill. Working with them was always a pleasure. They made the stressful parts (waiting for offers to come in, waiting for our offer to be accepted, negotiating, etc.) less stressful, and they were very helpful with staging our house. For me, the best thing about the experience is that they were always on hand to help us out. Every time we requested to take another look at the condo they made themselves available, sometimes with very little notice. I always felt that we were their number one priority. I'll recommend Union Group Realty to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. Thanks Eric, Travis, and the whole UGR team! read more

I recently sold my home, and Eric Robison acted as my real estate agent. He was referred to me by a friend - and I was pleased with every aspect of his service. Eric was amazingly prompt at returning my calls or texts, and getting me any information that I needed. I couldn't believe how efficient he was. Eric always made himself available on my schedule. Working with Eric it was clear that he knows his stuff! He was fun to work with, straight forward, and got the job done. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Travis and Melissa have been amazing to work with. We are stereotypical House Hunters-esque buyers. "I want to live the city life downtown but with 4 bedrooms, a yard, 2 parking spots and a greenhouse." Travis has been able to help us narrow our focus to what we really want/need. And we don't need a greenhouse. He's quick to email us new listings and he or Melissa are able to meet us quickly for a viewing and give us insight into what a reasonable offer would be. No pressure when we don't like a property and he listens to our feedback as to why. Great team with a lot of patience. Very happy with the experience so far! read more

Eric helped me sell a co-op on Capital Hill in 2009 on a short sale after my condo board refused to allow a rental. After firing my first real estate agent, I tuned to Eric for a realistic opinion of what I could sell it for since I had least wasted $18k paying he mortgage on an empty cono for. Year and a half. After taking his advice on price and paying for a very affordable stager, the coo sold within a week. In this market realistic advice is hard to find but looking back three years later, my credit has fully recovered and cutting,y losses turned ou to be them best advice Eric could have ever given me. The values intent cono have continued to plummet. read more

Eric Robison and Travis Smith could not have been more helpful in helping my boyfriend and I secure our first home. We were totally clueless as to where to start, and Eric helped walk us through every step of the process. We were searching for a house on Beacon Hill remotely so Travis took videos and documented all the houses we were interested in. We would not have gotten our house without their expertise -- we beat an offer $20k more than ours even while the seller paid $10k in our closing costs. In total, it took us less than a month to buy a house, even in Seattle's absolutely crazy market. Eric and Travis were quick to respond to any questions we had and we absolutely loved working with them. read more

It was such a pleasure to work with them! Moved from NY, me and my wife were not familiar with the how things run in Seattle and it was a crazy market to get into. Zachary, our main person of contact, certainly made the whole process as smoothly as possible. He is super friendly, responsive and honest. He always take the initiative to contact with the listing agents, doing market research, etc. so we feel confident before we made offers. After we bought our house, he didn't just disappear but he still followed up with us to see if we need any additional help. Big shout out to Zach and the team! read more

I would highly recommend Eric Robison and Colin Stephens who worked their magic to sell my condo. They are professional and know how to price, stage, show and close finding a buyer who was prequalified. After a little over a week, I signed the offer on 4/30 and closed on 5/21. The team made my sale go smoothly with great communication. I will recommend Eric and Colin to friends who are selling/buying - they know their market. read more

I've worked with Eric through two purchases and one sale, and will absolutely be using him the next time I have real estate to buy or sell. Eric is patient, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable about the Seattle real estate market. My first home purchase required some aggressive negotiation due to some inspection issues (LP siding on the house). Eric was a great negotiator, and he wasn't afraid to put the pressure on the seller to make sure I got a great deal. At the same time, he was very open about what was realistic and what wasn't, and he was very patient in walking me through my first home purchase. When I later sold that house, I worked with Eric again. On the selling side, he gave great advice on what needed to be done (and what didn't) to help the house sell. His marketing was great and I felt he really listened to my thoughts and concerns when we discussed the price. In the end, I sold the house within a week of being on the market and received slightly over my asking price -- exactly what I was hoping to get. In the latest home purchase process, he helped us find a great home in an aggressive market, working with us through two rejected inspections, two bidding situations, and finally a three month long short sale purchase. He always had a positive attitude and went to great lengths to make the process a smooth one, working through his own Christmas plans and helping us deal with last minute issues while we were out of the country. We ended up with a great house for a great price, and Eric was truly a lot of fun to work with throughout the process. I've recommended Eric personally to friends, and would happily do so again -- he's an excellent agent with the skills, good humor, and knowledge to make the house buying or selling process as painless as possible. read more

It was our first home purchase and we were quite nervous about the whole thing. We were lucky to be introduced to Eric through a friend. It was a huge relief! Eric went beyond our expectations to make sure that we understand every single phase of the process. "State of art services" was something we truly received from Eric. We received precise, punctual and unbiased answers to all our questions. Eric did not give up till we found the home that we knew was meant for us and he made the process as smooth as possible. He performed to our utmost satisfaction. Eric, a sincere thank you from Naeini family. Well done! read more

Eric is awesome! He was referred to us by a co-worker, and we hired him to help us buy our first home. He was so great at answering all our questions, walking us through the process, and helping us find the right home. He is professional, responsive, and very knowledgeable. Eric made our offer look as attractive as can be in this competitive market, and we know that without Eric we wouldn't have gotten the home we wanted. We are so pleased with the whole process, and whole heartedly recommend Eric to anyone buying or selling a home. He will be our only call when we're ready to buy our next house! read more

Travis and the team were fantastic to work with. They were able to secure us a brand new house that never hit MLS. Being that it was a pre-sale, his team took extra precautions when drawing up the contract to ensure everything went through smoothly (which it did). Travis is very responsive and is surrounded by a fantastic team. We will be using them again! read more

I feel so fortunate to have worked with Eric Robison. My husband and I had so many questions and reservations about buying a house - Eric was a wonderful educator throughout the entire process and we always felt like we had the information we needed to make informed decisions. Eric kept us smiling and enjoying the process at every stage but most importantly, Eric is who you want on your side when it is time to negotiate. I am sure we wouldn't have this house we love if not for Eric's skillful negotiations. Eric was prompt with every communication - he was available whenever we needed to reach him. Eric continues to be a valuable resource for our home improvements and when it comes time to sell, we will definitely use Eric. read more

Everyone knows a real estate agent, but few can deliver like Eric does. I've worked with other agents and brokers in other states, but Eric is hands-down the best realtor I've worked with. A smart and savvy negotiator and knowledgeable agent, when things got sticky with the seller/builder, Eric knew exactly how to handle the situation and protect my interests. Prompt, reliable, dedicated and expert in the field, I would highly recommend Eric. read more

We were fortunate to find Eric through an internet search and to have the pleasure of working with him, Travis Smith and The Union Group as we searched from afar for an investment property in downtown Seattle. Their professionalism, responsiveness and expertise gave us the confidence to work with them remotely from our New York home and to purchase a condominium sight-unseen. Their knowledge of the Seattle market and their ability to grasp our tastes, requirements and objectives eased us through the selection process. When it came down to finalizing the offer and closing the deal, we felt like we were their only clients. We cannot praise them enough and will certainly refer our friends to them as well as use their services again should we choose to purchase a property in the Seattle area. read more

I very highly recommend Eric. He helped my buy my first home in Maple Leaf. After the first week, we were totally in sync. He understood exactly what type of home I was looking for and never wasted my time on things that were out of my wants or budget. We spend about six months looking. Despite the long process, never once did I feel like I was wasting his time. He also gave me a great education about home buying. He wasn't afraid to show sales or bank-owned properties (though ultimately my house was a straight sale) and worked hard to make sure my offer was in the best position possible. Most importantly, Eric kept me grounded during what can be a stressful process. I'm absolutely in love with the house we found but if I ever need to move, he'll be my first call. Eric came to me by recommendation of a co-worker, and I couldn't be more grateful. He continues to give me great recommendations (landscaper, gutter cleaners, etc) so I can care for my home well without breaking the bank. Interview Eric - and others, of course :) - before settling on the agent that's right for you. read more

What a great ride it was to purchase my first home. Much of the work was really about being educated about the process, and having expectations managed. Neither of those things are quick or easy, which is why it's important to have a great realtor. Travis Smith at The Union Group worked to answer all my questions and relieve some of the nerve racking fear that seems to come with making such a big purchase. He was extremely quick in responding to listings to make sure I got in to see things, and was honest when I was overwhelmed or less enthusiastic, which helped me see through all the emotion of putting in bids. Properties move at lightening speed in Seattle, so it's a real balancing act to ensure buyers understand that, but are still able to move forward with confidence. He acted fast on a property at a building I had interest in on another unit, and ultimately got me the unit. I highly recommend Travis! read more
